*TODAY IN HISTORY*

* On this day in 1991, the German parliament moved to Berlin. Bonn had been the capital of West Germany until the country’s reunification in 1990. The “Hauptstadtbeschluss” (capital decision) stipulated that the seat of government and the parliament also be moved to the “new” capital Berlin.

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: THURSDAY 20TH JUNE 2025

THEME: *WORTHLESS ADDICTIONS*

MEMORIZE
Luke 4:4
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

READ
Luke 4:1-15
And Jesus, being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days, he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.
And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:
For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee: and there went out a fame of him through all the region round about.
And he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Behind every addictions are evil spirits sent by Satan to destroy human lives systematically.*

MESSAGE
Today's passage is often used to talk about the temptations and trials of our Lord in the wilderness. But a quick flip reveals Satan's subtle targets behind all his attractive offers...

One of Satan's hidden targets using temptations is to introduce his targeted victims into a life of worthless addictions. And thereafter keep them in the bondage that will either make them to function below their destiny benchmark or weaken their souls with the purpose of rendering them unfit for their assignments in life; and in worse case scenario, lead them to believe that they need stuffs to survive until they are eventually destroyed.

Addictions are not just mere habits that people indulge themselves in. *Behind every addictions are evil spirits sent by Satan to destroy human lives strategically and systematically by keeping them in a perpetual bondage.*

These evil spirits get into their gullible victims through seemingly harmless things like foods and drinks, including other legitimate rights.

There are people who are addicted to simple things like coffee. They are strangely addicted to an early morning cup of coffee until it becomes a traditional bondage.

In today's text, the Lord Jesus Christ told Satan, the tempter that man was not created to live by bread alone.

That means man was not to live a life that is dependent solely on bread.

There are people who are addicted to food and cannot stay off of food.

The only benefit of food is to supply the strength required to pursue purpose. Sadly, many people live to eat, instead of eating to live.

Satan wants us to be distracted from pursuing purpose to seeking bodily pleasures.

*To live only for bread is a worthless addictive living, but when your life is powered by a definite word from God, then you become a person of rich economy to heaven on earth.*

Bread is generically and allegorically used to illustrate everything that men rely upon to live.

Others are addicted to alcohol. Alcohol is a highly demonic substance; it is a portal for demons to enter the body of those who indulge themselves with it. Alcohol actually means a "body eating spirit;" that is why it is called "spirit."

According to the scriptures, it bites its victims.
Proverbs 23:31-32 "Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his colour in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
At the last, it biteth like a serpent and stingeth like an adder."

Beloved, avoid worthless addictions today and prioritise your life and destiny around God and His purpose for your life.

Never allow anything to gain control over your life, but rather exercise self-control over everything.

Do not lose self-control to anything except the LORD through the Holy Spirit.

Shalom.

ACTION STEPS
1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide again.
2. Submit your life deliberately to the Holy Spirit for absolute control.
3. Be determined to avoid every worthless addiction in your life.

REMEMBER
*Behind every addictions are evil spirits sent by Satan to destroy human lives systematically.*

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. I receive grace to live in absolute submission to your Holy Spirit according to the scriptures in truth and in spirit in Jesus name. Amen.

DAILY READING
Daniel 1-2; Proverbs 20-23; Luke 15-16;

HYMN
1
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.

2
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.

3
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.

4
Take my silver and my gold;
Not a mite would I withhold:
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose.

5
Take my will, and make it Thine;
It shall be no longer mine:
Take my heart—it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.

6
Take my love: my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store:
Take myself; and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.

Whenever I wake up in the morning

Please father , let me make it in life
Let me get money to feed my family

Put my enemies to shame
Let all those who said I can't make it today see me tomorrow and wonder how far you have brought me
I know am not born to be poor but born to be rich🤹🏻‍♂️
Let my dreams come true

*Amen🙏🏽*

Drar God protect us from anything that wasn't sent by you Amenn

Beloved, as Christians, we should strive to a life that pleases God in all we do. We should recognize that there is no difference between the "ordinary" and the "holy" all can be done for the glory of God. Let us choose to make all our activities sacred by doing them for His glory. Let us live a life worthy of the Lord.

Heavenly father, we are so grateful for the lives you have given us and for creating us in your likeness. We strive to live holy lives and bring you glory in all that we do. May our actions be a reflection of your greatness, O God. We pray in Jesus name... Amen.
Good morning, have a blessed day.

RELAX! SINGLENESS IS NOT A CURSE

I read about a beautiful lady who was waiting on God for a husband. She continued to wait but eventually began to groan with impatience. At every church meeting, she would approach her pastors and lament her ordeal, and they would encourage her to keep waiting.

One day, at a church program, she approached her pastor, looked him in the eyes, and expressed her feelings of despair. "Daddy, I have waited enough... I am getting weak. I have tried my best... I am getting tired already... Daddy, I repeat, I have waited enough..."

Her pastor looked back at her firmly and said, "If you are tired of waiting for the Lord, what else would you do? Would you return to the world simply because you are waiting for a partner? After all this waiting, there is only one option left for you: Wait for the Lord."

The next time her pastor saw her, she came to another program with her wedding pictures—she had married! Her pastor was taken aback. She was beaming with joy, smiling all around. We all thanked the Lord for her life and for answered prayers, even though it seemed strange.

However, not long after that, her pastor didn't hear from her again for some time. Then the news came that she had di€d. She passed away in the hospital after a long illness, with no one even noticing her absence. It was shocking that she di€d so quietly, and there wasn’t even an announcement of her d€ath among the congregation. She had been buri€d before her pastors learned the news. They later discovered that she had married a married man, and the brief time she spent after her wedding was a t€rrible experience. Eventually, she became seriously ill and passed away.

Dear Singles, Be patient... At the right time, God will settle you.

A relaxed sister is better positioned for marriage than a tensed up lady who is over-eager to shout "Yes" to any marriage proposal. ☹

Those who are too anxious to get married usually make marital mistakes. Until Adam was put to sleep, God couldn't reveal his wife to him. A relaxed mind is the magnet of God's miracle.

Do not coax people to propose to you. Do not scare potential suitors away by putting marriage thoughts in their mind.

There is nothing like getting too old for marriage.

I have never seen anyone di€ of marrying late. But I have seen many di€ because they marry wrong.

It is better to marry an angel at 40 than to marry a devil when you are 25. Do not make marriage look like a "do or die affair".

Singleness is not a Sin
Singleness is not a Bondage
Singleness Is Not A Curse
Singleness Is Not A Sickness,
Singleness Is Not A Pr0blem,
Singleness Is Not A Limitation.
Singleness Is Not A Shame.

You Can Be Single and Be All You Can Be
You Can Be single And Happy,
You Can Be single And Spiritual
You Can Be Single And Anointed,
You Can Be Single And Sound,
You Can Be Single And Successful,
You Can Be Single And Be Unique,
You Can Be Single And Be Fulfilled..

Never mourn Your Singleness because your present state is not your final state.

Marriage is glorious, beautiful, marvelous, exciting, tremendous, and very sweet but so also is singleness. So enjoy your singleness, make good use of it before getting married.

If you have not received a marriage proposal yet it simply means that you are too special for God to throw just anyone at you.

Relax. Don't lose hope and don't be too desperate. Trust in the Lord.

As the Lord lives, you are the next to be celebrated in Jesus name.

Kindly share this message with your loved ones

*"A thousand may fall at your side, ten thousand at your right hand, but it will not come near you.You will only observe with your eyes and see the punishment of the wicked".*
_Psalms 91:7-8_

As you journey along this month, the Lord will prevent you from experiencing any sudden fall or secret misfortune in Jesus' Mighty Name. Today shall be your day of WONDERS. The Lord will lift you above every circumstance and visit you with unspeakable joy. Be rest assured that God will not allow you to get drowned. You will continue to rejoice in Him in Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.
The Almighty God shall take over your battles and fight for you and your loved ones in the Mighty Name of Jesus. No evil shall befall you and your loved ones. Every satanic power or Jericho wall-like situation in your life that is set to crumble your way and your household shall be shattered to pieces now in Jesus' Name. Whatever is standing between you and your destiny shall be pulled down now in Jesus' Mighty Name. Amen.
Your efforts shall be watered and crowned with abundant success in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Every stubborn storm or siege over your household is commanded to cease today in the Mighty Name of Jesus. You shall become untouchable for the devil. Every obstacle in your life and those of your loved ones shall give way to miracles in the Mighty Name of Jesus. Every ancient door and gate of hindrance to your breakthrough shall be lifted up in Jesus' Name. Amen.

*Have A Pleasant, Safe, Prosperous, Peaceful And Miraculous Thursday.*

_Remain Ever Blessed And Lifted. Good evening.

AMEN
I claim it
