*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*
DATE: FRIDAY 25TH JULY 2025
THEME: *REFUSE TO QUIT*
MEMORIZE
Isaiah 43:19
Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
READ
Luke 9:59-62
And he said unto another, Follow me. But he said, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father.
Jesus said unto him, Let the dead bury their dead: but go thou and preach the kingdom of God.
And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house.
And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Life belongs to determined visionaries.*
MESSAGE
It is on record that Jack Ma, the richest man in China was the only person rejected by KFC out of twenty four applicants. Harvard rejected him ten times, thirty employers said he was unemployable, but today he runs a $500 billion dollars empire.
He mentioned in interviews that he applied to Harvard on ten different occasions and was rejected each time. He often shares this story as a lesson in persistence, resilience, and turning rejection into motivation.
In his own words:
> "I applied for Harvard ten times, and was rejected. I told myself, someday I should go teach there."
Jack Ma uses this part of his story to encourage people not to give up in the face of failure or rejection.
Those who give up never reach the top of the game of life.
*Life belongs to determined visionaries.*
Father Abraham would not give up in the days when nothing seemed to make sense hence he became the father of many nations. When Isaac wanted to give up, God came to him in a vision to encourage him against giving up.
There are times when giving up on your dream will be the only reasonable thing to do.
All great people have had their fair shares in the cocktails of discouragement in life. We all do, but the difference between those who succeeded and those who failed is the ability to see where you are going and to stay on course with determination no matter what you face.
Rejection is not an excuse to turn back, neither is failure an excuse to give up. Your choice in every given situation is what counts.
A wise man once said: "If it must be, then it's up to me"
When you are faced with no other options but to turn back and run away, then remember that God makes a way where there is no way. And if you persist and persevere, you will discover that there is actually a way where there is no way...
Certainly, the one who made a way in the red sea can make a way on dry lands for you.
There is no such a thing as "NO WAY." It's just a mere mindset that is subject to change.
There is always a way even if it's not visible to your eyes.
Trust the Holy Spirit [the pathfinder] to show you the hidden ways of genuine success in front of you.
Beloved, to give up or to stay on course to the end is entirely your choice. To win or to fail is dependent on your ability to persevere until you win.
You can choose not to quit. The world may be against you, refuse to be against yourself.
Shalom, maranatha!

*Life belongs to determined visionaries.*

HYMN
1
"There shall be showers of blessing":
This is the promise of love;
There shall be seasons refreshing,
Sent from the Saviour above.
Show - - ers of blessing,
Showers of blessing we need;
Mercy-drops round us are falling,
But for the showers we plead.
2
"There shall be showers of blessing"—
Precious reviving again;
Over the hills and the valleys,
Sound of abundance of rain.
3
"There shall be showers of blessing"
Send them upon us, O Lord!:
Grant to us now a refreshing;
Come, and now honour Thy Word.
4
"There shall be showers of blessing":
Oh that to-day they might fall,
Now as to God we’re confessing,
Now as on Jesus we call!
