Life has a peculiar way of surprising us. One moment, everything seems to go as planned, while the next moment, an unexpected change hits us from the left field. It is understandable to feel disappointed or frustrated when faced with difficult situations that life throws at us. However, by understanding a few inevitable complex rules of life, we can develop resilience and adaptive capacities, not get by and thrive beautifully. Hard work, good virtue, discipline, or being in the right do not automatically ensure fair rewards. We were told that hard work begets success. But you can work as hard as you want and still struggle like someone who never did. The complexity of earth creation is beyond human intelligence. Life’s circumstances and events can be beyond individual control, regardless of merit. A major health crisis, painful divorce, painful death, all kinds of setbacks, natural disasters, or freak accidents and so forth can unfairly destroy years of labor in a minute. It is important that we understand that life is unpredictable and unjustifiable. That is why people question certain things that happen to them as undeserving. This world is intentionally created to evade the intelligence of man,no matter how we tried regarding its complexities. It is deep seated in mystery. Your current bad situation doesn't necessarily mean you are a bad person, even though you don't deserve what you are going through. You are only dealing with the way the world is intentionally wired beyond human understanding. The thing is, situation happens when it is time to happen. Your goodness or badness can not stop it. The only break we enjoy is the mercy of God when it pleases Him. The difference between your inputs and outcomes highlights life’s fundamental injustice. The world is intentionally created in this fashion to limit our knowledge about certain divine secrets so we have room to think and believe someone who is somewhere is in charge of this earth and what happens to us. Everyone is going through monumental difficulties. Bar none. Whether deserving or not. The only solution is to fight your problems with an open mind. The world is tough. This time is tougher. Fight back with toughness. Life is quite a journey

THE NEW CEO He never looked up. He just polished and returned them." Her father never knew his name. But she never forgot his hands. Until the day the company he once stood outside… Became the one he walked into — as the boss. 1996. Lagos Island. Baba Dauda was a cobbler stationed outside the Afolabi & Sons Corporation — a big construction firm where luxury cars pulled up daily, and security guards barely let him near the building. But every week, a wealthy man — Chief Afolabi — sent his driver with three pairs of Italian leather shoes. Dauda would shine, stitch, clean, and polish them until they looked brand new. He was never invited in. Never tipped. Never acknowledged. But someone noticed. Little Adesewa, Chief’s 9-year-old daughter, used to sit in the back of the car watching him work. She once asked, “Why does he never come inside?” Her father replied: "Because people like that don’t belong in boardrooms." But Dauda looked up and said: “Small madam… maybe one day, I’ll fix more than shoes.” Adesewa smiled. He winked. Then life happened. The Afolabis moved abroad. Dauda lost his spot outside the building when the area was demolished. Nobody knew where he went. Nobody looked for him. 2024. Victoria Island. The same company — now renamed Afolabi Global — had fallen into crisis. Stocks plummeted. Leadership changed. They were awaiting their new CEO — a private appointee brought in by international investors to restructure the entire business. Boardroom filled. Cameras ready. Staff nervous. Then the doors opened… And Mr. Dauda Adekunle walked in — polished suit, grey hair, briefcase in hand. Silence. Gasps. He nodded slowly and said: “28 years ago, I fixed shoes outside this building. Today, I’m here to rebuild what was broken inside it.” The crowd froze. And from the corner, Adesewa — now head of PR — stood in tears. She walked over, hugged him, and whispered: “You didn’t just fix shoes, Baba. You fixed my view of the world.” He didn’t beg. He didn’t fight. He just worked. And while others built offices… He built himself. Now the same hands that once held polish and thread… Hold contracts, power, and legacy. Because sometimes, the person outside the gate… Was just waiting to own the entire building.

Ants Outsmart Scientists One Seed at a Time Ants might be tiny, but when it comes to survival smarts, they’re light years ahead of us in some ways. Case in point: scientists have discovered that ants break grains and seeds before storing them, a strategic move that prevents germination even under perfect growing conditions. It’s their way of stockpiling food without the risk of it sprouting and becoming useless. But here's where it gets fascinating. While studying ant nests, researchers stumbled upon something unusual coriander seeds weren’t halved like most others… they were quartered. Curious, they took the mystery to the lab. What they found stunned them: coriander seeds still germinate when halved, but not when broken into four pieces. In other words, the ants had already figured this out. Long before any lab coats ran the experiment, these tiny creatures knew exactly how to neutralize coriander's ability to grow. It wasn’t just instinct it was precision agriculture, on a micro scale. This jaw-dropping insight is a reminder that nature’s smallest engineers often have knowledge we’re only just beginning to uncover. Ants aren’t just survivors they’re strategists, and they may have more lessons to teach us than we realize.

“Many People go Into Politics With no Plan, no Knowledge, and End up Achieving Nothing” — Osinbajo Says Leadership Demands Meaningful Results parallelfactsnews.com/osinbajo-says-…

My resolution is to see Nigerian youths to be incharge, wit their fresh problem solved knowledge. Good people of Mende Maryland Vote @aacparty, v support and Vote Comrade ADETAYO BABATUNDE DANIEL aka Royal.

With God it's all about times and seasons, dispensations and transitions in-between to know and understand how it all works for man on earth. Understanding this begins the knowledge of your foreordained inclusion in the program of God specifically for the eternalness of life like that of God in you by Christ.

During a robbery in America, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you." Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking. When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be civilized! This is a robbery and not a rape!" This is called "Being Professional” Focus only on what you are trained to do! When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got." The older robber rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!" This is called "Experience.” Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications! After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”. This is called "Swim with the tide.” Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage! The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month." This is called "Killing Boredom.” Personal Happiness is more important than your job. The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million. The robbers were very angry and complained: "We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!" This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE* DATE: SATURDAY 14TH JUNE 2025 THEME: *HIDDEN ACCESS TO WEALTH* MEMORIZE Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. READ Job 28:20-28 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure. When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder: Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out. And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY *When our relationship with God is intact, He sustains us from His endless abundance and possibilities.* MESSAGE God's word declares that it is He who gives His covenant people the power to get wealth. I have often wondered what this amazing power to get wealth is all about until I saw that Solomon the richest man that ever lived asking for wisdom and along with wisdom came riches and wealth that the world is still talking about till date. His daily provisions according to the account of 1Kings 4:22-23; sums up to at least over $60,000, it's only very wealthy people that spends such money on food daily. The source of such must be inexhaustible, if such budget should be sustained or maintained. Having seen that wisdom is the principal thing, its clear that with wisdom, wealth is a natural sequence that follows. Every form of lack is traceable to the lack of wisdom. *Every form of financial issues is a wisdom issue.* Otherwise, wherever wisdom is found, money results naturally, though with time. However, wisdom is hidden from all men because all men have fallen from the glory of God. Its the glory of God therefore, to conceal sacred things from fallen humans, and we show our value for hidden stuffs by making ourselves available to search them out. *Pure wisdom from God is extremely sacred and flows directly from Him into the hearts of those who are undefiled in their relationship with God.* Pure wisdom connects it's beneficiaries to the secret chambers of God's deepest mysteries, and with such mysteries, we gain masteries over the affairs of life irrespective of the challenges on ground. Wisdom is more than just the application of knowledge, rather, it is the correct application of the insights gotten from direct fellowship or relationship with God. *When our relationship with God is intact, He sustains us from His endless abundance and possibilities.* It's simply amazing how God supplies the needs of those who are connected to Him. ACTION STEPS 1. Ask the Lord to purify your heart and soul from every form of pollutions, impurities and unrighteousness. 2. Love and pursue knowledge with all you have. 3. Cry after wisdom on daily basis. PRAYERS Dear heavenly Father, thank you for today's devotional guide, I receive the grace to stay connected to you and draw from your limitless wisdom and knowledge for endless possibilities in my life in Jesus name. REMEMBER *When our relationship with God is intact, He sustains us from His endless abundance and possibilities* AUTHOR JEDIDIAH DAVID DAILY READING: Exodus 21; Psalms 90; Proverbs 6-8; Acts 1; 2Cor 6. HYMN " 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 Lordl 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 ! PLEASE SHARE

* THE WIFE WHO PRAYS YET DESTROYS HER MARRIAGE... WIFE/Husband... God, I want to fast and pray this week GOD: What will you be fasting and praying for? WIFE: My marriage GOD: Have you told your husband about it? WIFE: I don't think I need to GOD: Where is your Bible? WIFE: It's in my handbag GOD: When was the last time you read the Bible? WIFE: It's been a long while GOD: Then how do you expect to pray in the right way if you don't take time to know My will by reading My Word? Pray using My Word WIFE: How do I pray using Your Word? GOD: By returning My Word to Me. Speak My inspired Word back to Me. Like Jesus, say "It is written". My Word will not return to Me void but will accomplish the purpose intended. Hold Me to account on My Word. Go get your Bible my child WIFE: Yes Lord WIFE: I am back GOD: Read 1 Corinthians 7: 5 WIFE: It says, "Do not deprive each other except perhaps by mutual consent and for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer. Then come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control." GOD: That passage of Scripture is addressing the husband and wife. I don't think you fully understand what I mean when I say in marriage, two become one. You and your husband have become one. You should be informing your husband WIFE: Why? What for? It's not like he will want to fast with me GOD: Have you tried asking him? WIFE: Aah. I know him. He doesn't like this spiritual stuff. I wish he was as spiritual as me GOD: My child, I know him better than you do. Your attitude of seeing yourself as spiritually superior is what is discouraging joint prayer between you and him. You already formed an opinion about him and you push that opinion in his face. Why do you feel the need to show how spiritual you are? WIFE: I take hours to pray for my marriage. I wish he knew how much I am on my knees for this marriage to work GOD: My child, you're doing the right thing but your attitude and motives don't please Me. You pray a miss because your heart is not in the right place. I have seen you spending hours at keshas in Church buildings; only to come back home and shout at your children and husband as you pass judgement on them. I have watched you kneel in your bedroom in prayer, only for you to show contempt and disrespect to your husband some hours later. I have seen you fasting, only for you to speak negative belittling your husband. What exactly do you want? Your prayers and fasting seem religious, like you do them to appease yourself or to show off. In the Church congregation, you are celebrated because you never miss concerts, fellowships, revival meetings, Church services and keshas; but at home you are an ungrateful wife, an angry wife, a cold wife, a harsh mother, a discouraging mother, a thorn in the flesh. Kindly read 1st Corinthians 13: 1 - 3 WIFE: If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. GOD: My child, if your husband and children don't feel loved by you then all your praying and fasting is for nothing. It is not what you do, but who you are. You can fast all this week for your marriage yet destroy your own marriage by how you treat your husband WIFE: So what do I do God? What do I do? GOD: Always remember that marriages remain strong, not because of prayer but because of love; prayer is but a force accompanying love. As you speak to Me in prayer, speak love to your husband. Praying for your marriage will not automatically make your marriage fruitful; you must work on your marriage. Stop using prayer and fasting to hide your laziness or to cover up the things you need to change as a wife. I really desire to see love in your home. I desire to see you and your husband laughing, treating each other well. Whatever you do to your husband, you do to Me. I desire to see you two together in love in My presence WIFE: God, forgive me for going about it the wrong way. Please give me some minutes. I will be back (Twenty seven minutes later) WIFE: God, I am back now. With my king, my husband. We approach Your throne, our King of kings HUSBAND: God, I want to thank You for my wife. She came to me and blessed me in a way that a wife should. Today, I want to thank You for our marriage GOD: Go on, I am listening. I am pleased by you two Since that day, the husband and wife pray together; but above all, they love each other *#SHARE to Educate others. Cheers! 🥂*

Be confident that another day is coming, seek knowledge from the Lord for successful day

Theme of How you make me feel by popular boy band WESTLIFE The song "You Make Me Feel" delves into the transformative power of love and the emotional vulnerability it brings. The lyrics capture the feeling of being truly seen and validated by another person—a sentiment that makes one feel both alive and real. This intense connection is portrayed as an almost existential experience that not only honors the joy of love but also acknowledges its complexities and the inherent uncertainties that come with opening up to someone. At its core, the song emphasizes that love has the capacity to ground us, to make us feel genuine in every facet of our being. It suggests that the right person can infuse everyday life with meaning and emotional depth, making every moment more significant and every emotion more palpable. This can be interpreted as both a celebration of deep, authentic connection and a reflection on the vulnerability required to truly experience such intimacy.
