*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: TUESDAY 24TH JUNE 2025

THEME: *INVEST WISELY*

MEMORIZE
Matthew 6:20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

READ
Matthew 6:19-21
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*All earthly acquisitions end here on earth.*

MESSAGE
If you are blind, you depend on those with eyes to see. If you are deaf, you might need the ears of others to hear sounds. To understand the law of investment, we need to listen to the best and the wisest investors.

The Lord Jesus Christ is undoubtedly the best and the wisest investor of all times.

In today's text, He showed us that the earth and all the investments of men in it have no future because they have no security.

God, the Father who made it, has marked it for destruction.

Unfortunately, many are blind and can not see what lies ahead.

Peter the apostle showed us from his divine insight into the plans of God for our fallen earth in
2 Peter 3:10
"....the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up."

Wise investors consider certain factors before investing in a place; they consider the future of the place, they consider the security of the place, and they also consider the return on their investment over time.

The Lord Jesus Christ in His first advent never owned anything on the earth, not because it is wrong to do so, but the law of priority made Him to focus on the immediate priority of His first season on the earth. He came to die for man's redemption and to relocate all who are redeemed by His sacrifice to a better country with insurance and assurance.

Based on this premises, the Lord Jesus Christ invested all His life for the purpose of redeeming mankind and creation into God's original purpose in predestination. Herein lies the wisdom of the wisest investor of all times.

*Your investment reveals your wisdom or the lack of it.*

Apparently, most investors on earth are ignorant of these truth, hence the rat race of material acquisitions.

I saw an impressive and very massive architectural marvel online, and I had a cocktail of emotions at men's cravings and earthly pursuits of vanities...

An Indian billionaire owns a White House replica mansion that sits atop a 34-story skyscraper in Bengaluru, India.

The mansion has its own helipad, gardens, salon, gym, indoor heated pool, outdoor infinity pool, and a host of other luxuries, all with breathtaking 360-degree views of the city. Interestingly, though, the owner hasn’t had the chance to step foot in the mansion..."

From the fall of man, mankind has deviated from God's original purpose and plan to devise all manner of ways to live their lives for their own ambitions, pleasures, and wild desires.

Men labour and run all through life, chasing after things that can not be taken out of this world with them.

*All earthly acquisitions end here on earth.*

If you do not know the Lord or His plan for your life, or have enough discipline to stay focused on your purpose and lane in life, you will drift away from purpose and join the vanity race of blind men who live only for material acquisition and financial gains.

We must keep in mind that things are meant to be tools and drivers of purpose.

Your specific assignment from the Lord will and should determine the measure of things required or needed to fulfil God's purpose for your life.

Everything that is over and above your immediate needs for family upkeep and the assignment ought to be converted into God's work and charitable donation.

We do not need so much to be happy in life, and we certainly do not need to look far to see those who need the excess around us.

There are poor people all around us. Use what you have been given to bless people around you, and let's make this world a better place in Jesus' name.

ACTION STEPS
1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide again.
2. Be determined to convert your earthly goods into heavens currency for your eternal use by investing into God's kingdom.
3. Make serving God and soul winning your topmost priority.

REMEMBER
*All earthly acquisitions end here on earth.*

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Help me to see what is most important to you and to focus on it early. Deliver me from pursuing what is eternally useless. I receive grace to invest wisely for eternity. Amen.

HYMN

1
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of Glory died,
My richest gain I count but loss,
And pour contempt on all my pride.

2
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast,
Save in the death of Christ my God:
All the vain things that charm me most,
I sacrifice them to His blood,

3
See! from His head, His hands, His
feet,
Sorrow and love flow mingled down!
Did e’er such love and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose so rich a crown?

4
Were the whole realm of nature mine,
That were an offering far too small:
Love so amazing, so divine,
Demands my soul, my life, my all.

PLEASE SHARE

Love God with all your heart and soul. Talk to Him: think of him: turn to Him. These glad turnings of a loving and grateful heart are your best prayers to God.

Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck

We are still masters of our fate. We are still captains of our souls.

I was reading a book called Your Brain on P*rn by Gary Wilson a few weeks ago... and let me just say, I haven't looked at my phone the same since, am still reading ,
The man explained things I wish I knew at 13. He said your brain reacts to p*rn the same way it reacts to cocaine.

Like, your neurons are not even being humble about it. The brain literally goes, “Ooooh dopamine!” and rewires itself to chase that high like rent is due.

It hit me deep when he said this generation isn’t just struggling with lust, we’re struggling with hijacked reward systems.

That’s why you can’t focus, can’t connect, can’t sleep, can’t love, your brain is fried, not broken.
And it’s not just science talking. I went into a rabbit hole after that.
Do you know centuries ago, philosophers were already warning about this stuff?

There’s a quote often attributed to ancient empires that said:
“If you want to destroy a nation, flood it with n*dity and broken families.
The rest will fall by itself.”
Even the Indian spiritualists and monks, people who’ve meditated more hours than I’ve been alive, said this centuries ago.

They warned that s*xual energy, if not respected, can ruin the strongest men and even empires.

These guys would fast, meditate, avoid eye contact, and sit under trees for 30 years just to avoid what some of us casually open on lunch break
They weren’t being dramatic. They were protecting their minds.

Because the mind is the battlefield, and p*rn is an invisible weapon.
Silent. Shameful. Easy to access. Hard to unsee.

I was addicted for years. Not because I wanted to be, but because I was lonely. Empty. Bored. Angry.
And it felt like the easiest escape.

I didn’t need to talk to anyone. Just click, scroll, watch, hide. Until hiding became a lifestyle.
But healing started when I realized:
I wasn’t just watching p*rn.
I was avoiding pain.

I was feeding my lust and starving my soul.
I was substituting quick pleasure for real purpose.
And slowly, I was losing me.
So I made some changes.
I blocked sites.

Deleted apps.
Got accountability.
Started journaling.
Working out.
Learning.
Creating.
Reading.

And building a life that doesn’t need escapism.
Listen p*rn is not just “bad for you.”
It’s a system built to keep you distracted, addicted, emotionally numb, and spiritually weak.
If you think it’s “just entertainment,” congrats. That’s exactly what the billion-dollar industry wants you to believe.
You don’t have to be perfect. But you owe it to yourself to be free.
This is your wake-up call.
You are more than a slave to pixels.
You are powerful.
Gifted.
Creative.
Loved.
And your mind was built to dream, not just scroll.

We see that the apparent contradictions and perplexities in every RELIGION mark but different stages of growth. The end of all religions is the realizing of God in the soul. That is the one universal religion.'

Put your heart, mind, intellect, and soul even into your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

All who have actually attained any real religious experience never wrangle over the form in which the different religions are expressed. They know that the soul of all religions is the same.

Blessed is the person who develops even-mindedness and whose mind is at peace in all conditions and situations. He is never bored, never depressed, never disappointed. To him life becomes a divinely delightful experience of the soul!

Modern Marriages Collapse Faster—Because They Come Late

Written by Enety Tazvivinga

Let’s talk about what nobody wants to admit:

The later a woman marries,
the harder she is to build with.

Because while the world praises “maturity” and “independence,”
real men know:

You don’t marry potential at its expiration date.

Let’s break it down:

—

1. Youth Means Flexibility—Age Means Resistance

A young woman comes into marriage fluid.
She’s teachable. She’s open. She adapts.

Not because she’s weak—
But because she hasn’t been hardened by life yet.

At 19, she learns through love.
At 29, she only learns through trauma.

By 30?

She’s no longer learning.
She’s negotiating.

And now every instruction feels like control.
Every correction sounds like oppression.
Every standard gets labeled as “toxic.”

You can’t lead someone who thinks they’ve already arrived.

—

2. Early Marriage Protects Fertility—And Your Future Bloodline

Science doesn’t lie.

The earlier she conceives,
the healthier her eggs.
The lower the risk of miscarriage, ADHD, and birth complications.

You don’t hear this in the media.
But even sperm damage can be offset by young, healthy eggs.

She’s not just your wife.

She’s the gatekeeper of your legacy.

And age is not kind to the gate.

—

3. She’s Not Bringing a Clean Slate—She’s Bringing a Resume of Regret

By 30, most modern women have:

– 12+ exes
– 5+ heartbreaks
– 3 years of therapy
– A list of emotional triggers
– A soul tired of trusting men
– A past funded by men better than you—and worse

Now you walk in as the cleanup crew.
You marry her leftovers.
You inherit a wounded soul packaged in soft glam.

And no matter how loving you are?

She can’t bond with you.
Because her heart is still haunted.

—

4. She Wasn’t Picked—She Settled

When a woman marries young,
she does so at her peak.

She was wanted.
Chosen.
Desirable.

And she sacrificed from the top of her value.

But when she marries late?

It’s not out of abundance.
It’s out of fatigue.

She’s not submitting.
She’s surrendering—because the streets stopped calling back.

And now you, the “good man,”
become her retirement plan.

Not her reward.

—

5. She’s Not Building With You—She’s Billing You From Day One

She doesn’t know your story.
Didn’t sacrifice in your grind.
Doesn’t understand your foundation.

But she demands protection…
Provision…
And prenup-free access to your life’s work.

She’s not entering a partnership.
She’s entering an inheritance.

And if it collapses?

She takes half—and posts about "reclaiming her peace."

—

6. Her History Is a Mystery—And You Pay the Price

Modern men are signing prenups not out of paranoia—
But survival.

You’re not marrying a blank page.
You’re marrying a woman with:

– Untold trauma
– Invisible scars
– High expectations
– No endurance
– And a legal system behind her

You can’t vet 15 years of dating history.

You’re walking into a maze with no map.
And when she taps out?

You get taxed for trusting too late.

—

7. When a Woman Marries Too Late—She’s Already Emotionally Retired

You can’t spark loyalty in someone who’s seen too much.

You can’t teach femininity to a woman who wore masculinity for 12 years.

You can’t start fresh with someone whose past is a landfill of emotional damage.

Late marriage turns relationships into negotiations.
Not commitment.
Not sacrifice.
Just trade-offs.

She gives you what’s left.
Then sets an exit strategy.

And you?
You’re just the landing pad.

—

Final Word: You Can’t Build a Kingdom on Expired Foundations

This is not hate.
It’s a warning.

Marry early.
Build while she's moldable.
Invest in someone who grows with you—not someone who's tired of failing elsewhere.

Because when you marry late?

You're not starting life.
You're inheriting her debt—emotional, financial, and spiritual.

And when she finally leaves?

She won’t feel guilt.

She’ll feel justified.

Because her happiness was always the goal.
Not your legacy.

"The Lord is my rock,my fortress and my deliverer,He is my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold (psalms 18:2).
The shield will not stop the enemy from shooting his arrows but it will Stop the effect of the arrow penetrating your soul.
