*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: THURSDAY 29TH MAY 2025

THEME: *REMEMBER YOUR MAKER NOW!* [PART TWO]

MEMORIZE
Deuteronomy 8:18
[18]But you shall [earnestly] remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

READ
Deuteronomy 8:7-20
[7]For the Lord your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, flowing forth in valleys and hills;
[8]A land of wheat and barley, and vines and fig trees and pomegranates, a land of olive trees and honey;
[9]A land in which you shall eat food without shortage and lack nothing in it; a land whose stones are iron and out of whose hills you can dig copper.
[10]When you have eaten and are full, then you shall bless the Lord your God for all the good land which He has given you.
[11]Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God by not keeping His commandments, His precepts, and His statutes which I command you today,
[12]Lest when you have eaten and are full, and have built goodly houses and live in them,
[13]And when your herds and flocks multiply and your silver and gold is multiplied and all you have is multiplied,
[14]Then your [minds and] hearts be lifted up, and you forget the Lord your God, Who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage,
[15]Who led you through the great and terrible wilderness, with its fiery serpents and scorpions and thirsty ground where there was no water, but Who brought you forth water out of the flinty rock,
[16]Who fed you in the wilderness with manna, which your fathers did not know, that He might humble you and test you, to do you good in the end.
[17]And beware lest you say in your [mind and] heart, My power and the might of my hand have gotten me this wealth.
[18]But you shall [earnestly] remember the Lord your God, for it is He Who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.
[19]And if you forget the Lord your God and walk after other gods and serve them and worship them, I testify against you this day that you shall surely perish.
[20]Like the nations which the Lord makes to perish before you, so shall you perish, because you would not obey the voice of the Lord your God.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*It takes being thoughtful to be thankful*

MESSAGE
The Psalmist declares to his soul to bless the LORD and not to forget all of God's benefits towards him.

Psalms 103:2 "Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits:"

The tendency to forget God is in every human. It is natural to forget God's blessings, benefits, and kindnesses towards us as individuals.

There are at least three areas we need to guard against, being forgetful; because forgetfulness in these areas is tantamount to forgetting the LORD.

1. The acts of God in our lives. The children of Israel were guilty of this sin as we are today in our busy world. Psalms 106:13
"They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:"

Their numerous acts of ingratitude, as shown in their murmuring and complaints, were not unconnected with their inability to remember the many acts of God in their lives and midst.

It is ingratitude to forget all of God's acts in our lives.

Those who forget God's acts or work in their lives are prone to ingratitude because it takes being thoughtful to be thankful.

2. The power to get wealth. Today's memory verse shows clearly that it is very possible to become rich or wealthy and forget how it truly happened. It is easy to attribute one's success to every other indices apart from the hand of God that actually makes men wealthy. We must remember that it is the blessing of the LORD that makes us wealthy and not by our own power or strength. We must remember the LORD in this regard by always honoring Him with a portion of our wealth to sustain the flow of God's grace for wealth in our lives continually.
3. God's purpose for blessing us with wealth.
It is extremely important to always keep in mind God's purpose for blessing us with wealth. Individuals who forget God's purpose for making them wealthy soon stalemate and dry up with time.

We must remember that He made us wealthy to advance His kingdom on earth, especially to win souls.

So, beloved ask yourself today, are you truly using the blessing of the LORD in your custody for the purpose for which you were blessed or have you turned them away for personal aggrandisement? Think about these things and make amendments quickly.

Remember, we shall all stand before the judgement seat of Christ Jesus to give account of what we did with His investments in our lives...

God bless and keep you always.

Shalom, maranatha!

AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID

DAILY READING: 1Chronicles 28-29; Psalms 129-130; Acts 12-14;

HYMN
Blessed assurance — Jesus is mine !
Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine !
Heir of salvation, purchase of God ;
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood.

This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long ;
This is my story, this is my song,
Praising my Saviour all the day long.

2
Perfect submission, perfect delight,
Visions of rapture burst on my sight ;
Angels descending, bring from above
Echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

3
Perfect submission, all is at rest,
I in my Saviour am happy and blest ;
Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.

Aminra is one of Egyptian god

*My name is Tomorrow "not my real name", I own a company, none of my staff knew me as the owner except the Manager and the Secretary. (I had told them not to disclose my identity).*
*I don't usually go for a visit.*
*One day, I visited the company and I saw my Ex wife, who had thrown me out of my own house. I asked the Manager and he said she is one of their staff.*
*I instructed the Manager to promote her to Personnel Officer, gave her a car, a bungalow, garden boy, security and other emoluments. An undeserved position though, of which he did.*
*A month later, I went there as a job seeker. As soon as she saw me with my application and CV, she rejected me outright, threw my application at my face, and immediately retrieved it from the floor and tore it to pieces and threw it into the waste bin. After regaling me with all my past, she informed me I would never get employment nor an opportunity at the company. Also, she swore on heaven and the earth that all this would happen. She boldly declared that the only way I’d get employment at the company was over her cold dead body*.
*I came the following day with another application and went on my knees to beg her, but she refused and spat into the waste bin and said even if I was the only bridge to cross to come to work, she would opt for a boat and called the security men to throw me out, so I left.*
*One day, I went to the company in my real identity and entered her office with the Manager who introduced me to her, she quickly knelt down crying and begging me, "the proposed rejected bridge.” She informed me that her entire family depended on her for survival. If her employment was terminated, she added, life would be absolutely horrendous not only for her but also her entire family. She even promised to remarry me.*
*We both stood there motionless and speechless which left the Manager befuddled.*
*Many things started racing in my head. Should I call for the police? Should I strip her of her current position to her former position? Should I cancel the unqualified benefits given to her? Should I accept such a woman back?*
*I'm still standing at her office indecisive.*
*If you were in my shoes, what would you do?*
*THERE IS TOMORROW*
*Whenever you are dealing with people, you must always remember that there is tomorrow and you might néed them tomorrow. You may end up needing help from the people who are asking for your help today, so help as much as you can.*
*Life is like a moving wheel, sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down. Sometimes we destroy the bridges that we might need to help us cross back tomorrow. Sometimes we treat people as though there is never going to be tomorrow. We sometimes act as though we will never need help from anyone. Remember there's tomorrow.*
*Joseph helped the cupbearer in prison and later the cupbearer connected Joseph with Pharaoh. Imagine how Portiphar's wife felt when she heard that Joseph was now the Governor of Egypt, after she had falsely accused him. The brother who sold Joseph away ended up being fed by him. Don't ever think of going to the extreme with your offenders, they might be rescuers tomorrow. Always remember that there is tomorrow and it will surely come.*
*The little help you give to people today, will profit you tomorrow.*
*May the good Lord touch your heart to live your life knowing that there is tomorrow.*
*In Everything You Do, Always Remember That,There Is Tomorrow.*

*Have a blessed new day....Pls share to others for them to know that THERE IS TOMORROW

WHAT TRUMP JUST DID (AND WHY THE WORLD’S SHAKING FROM IT)

While the Left obsessed over headlines and gender pronouns, President Donald J. Trump spent the last 7 days doing what real leaders do: saving lives, reasserting America’s power, and getting results.

Here’s everything they don’t want you to know:

1. He Stopped a Nuclear War Between India and Pakistan

Things got hot in Kashmir. Really hot. Both sides were mobilizing. Nukes were on the table.

Trump stepped in. Quietly. Firmly. And brought both sides back from the edge.

Pakistan thanked him publicly. India pretended they did it alone — but insiders know who made the calls that saved the world.

That’s not diplomacy. That’s deterrence with teeth.

2. He’s Bringing Putin to the Negotiating Table

There’s a peace summit being arranged in Turkey. Ukraine’s in. Russia’s sending delegates. Trump says he’ll go himself.

Just his presence is enough to move the needle. Putin, for the first time, isn’t slamming the door shut.

Biden couldn’t even get a voicemail returned. Trump is reshaping the battlefield by showing up.

3. He Hammered China — Got Them to Blink

Trump forced China to the table:
• 90-day pause in the tariff war
• Immediate cuts to key tariffs
• A crackdown on fentanyl exports to the U.S.

Let’s be clear: Trump’s the first American president to actually get China to move on fentanyl. Not talk. Not task forces. Action.

4. $600 Billion Saudi Investment Secured

In Riyadh, Trump locked down the biggest economic deal in U.S.–Saudi history:
• $142 billion arms deal (massive boost to U.S. manufacturing)
• Over $600 billion in new investments into American infrastructure, energy, and tech

It’s a triple win: jobs, energy independence, and a Middle East that fears us again — not the other way around.

5. $200 Billion Boeing Deal from Qatar

Trump helped land a mega-contract between Qatar Airways and Boeing for 210 jets — worth over $200 billion.

That deal:
• Revives Boeing
• Puts Americans back to work
• Strengthens our aerospace edge over China

And it wouldn’t have happened under a DEI-obsessed, apology-driven administration.

6. He Lifted Sanctions on Syria — With a Hidden Blow to Iran

Trump lifted select U.S. sanctions on Syria — but only after securing conditions to:
• Expel Iranian-backed militias
• Rebuild with Gulf money, not Russian or Iranian influence

It’s a strategic strike against Iran’s grip on the region. He didn’t fire a missile. He just cut their legs out from under them with deals and pressure.

7. He Brought the Last American Hostage Home from Gaza

While Biden stood back and hoped, Trump made a direct diplomatic push through Egypt and Qatar to get the final American hostage — a 26-year-old aid worker — released from Hamas.

And he succeeded. Quietly. No ransom. No deal with terrorists. Just leverage.

This wasn’t just a headline. This was a message: You harm an American, you pay.

8. Gas, Groceries, and Eggs — All Cheaper This Week

Thanks to Trump’s trade wins and Middle East diplomacy:
• National gas average dropped to $3.13
• Grocery prices fell 0.4% — biggest drop in 5 years
• Egg prices crashed 12.7% — fastest decline since 1984

This isn’t stimulus checks. This is real economic policy that works.

9. Inflation Is Cooling, Markets Are Up
• CPI is holding steady at 2.3%
• S&P 500 just passed 5,900 — fully rebounding
• Investor confidence is roaring back

People are finally catching their breath again.

10. He Just Cracked the Back of Big Pharma

Trump signed an executive order that:
• Ties drug prices to what countries like Canada and Germany pay
• Forces direct-to-consumer pricing
• Cuts middlemen out of the equation

Drug prices may drop 30–80%. And for once, the courts can’t block it.

11. Doubled Down on School Choice

He declared Charter Schools Week and reminded every American parent: Your kid’s future belongs to you — not some woke school board.

12. 150 Executive Orders and Counting

In just over 100 days, Trump has:
• Dismantled Biden’s DEI infrastructure
• Streamlined bloated federal agencies
• Relaunched energy independence
• Cut off foreign influence in domestic policy

This is what rebuilding America looks like — brick by brick, signature by signature.

THE BOTTOM LINE:

In one week, Trump:
• Averted a nuclear war
• Brought Putin to the table
• Shut down China’s fentanyl pipeline
• Crushed grocery and gas prices
• Landed $800B+ in foreign investments
• Reasserted U.S. dominance in aerospace
• Cut Iran’s influence
• Freed an American hostage
• Lowered drug prices
• Protected your kids’ schools
• Reignited the economy

That’s what real leadership looks like. No teleprompter. No stutters. No apologies. Just America First — again.

*"DANGER IS LOOMING"*
This is a message from God through Rev Chris Gangkon, a native of Southern Kaduna, but residing in the USA.

(This was seen on another Christian platform.
Kindly send to others who would also send it to others.
Let us plead for God's mercy over our land).

Peace be unto every one reading this message which is from God to every member of the body of Christ - most especially, General Overseers, Founders of Churches, and other Church leaders, in Nigeria in particular, who are in the position to influence and mobilize others for concerted actions of obedience to God's instructions.
*"God said that bokoharam has joined forces with fulani herdsmen in Nigeria, they have strategized and gathered arms and ammunitions and are set for WAR.*
*God said that all true members of the body of Christ at hone and in the diaspora should therefore stand up against this imminent war. Many of the known men of God especially the PROPHETS have lost their positions, they are only seeking earthly FAME, NAME and POSITION, they no longer stand in the gap for Nigeria.*
*God said we should stand up now, as HE, GOD is ready to stop the war and deliver NIGERIA from another civil war.*
*GOD said for good three weeks we should embrace the Service of Praise in each Church. That is what God will use!*
*We should call on the God of DAVID and GOD of MOSES!*
*God said in the same manner that HE delivered ISRAEL from the Philistines and Egypt, HE is set to deliver NIGERIA, but if we neglect to do this, WAR is upon us!*
*God said, all men of God if you don't do this, you will suddenly discover that the enemy will burn down your families and your worshiping centers, and every body will bear the SIN!"*
*God is set to deliver NIGERIA, therefore, let us obey Him by embracing this three weeks' Service of Praise coupled with the reading of:*
*>EXODUS 14:13-14; 15•*
*>CHRONICLES 16:8-34•*
*GOD said we should call forth Ministering Angels of Songs upon NIGERIA, for a massive support, while HE GOD will lay ambush against all NIGERIA's ENEMIES.*
*GOD commanded us to send this message to all Churches as quickly as it is received.*
*I beg you in the Name of JESUS the CHRIST and also in GOD'S own Name unto whom we shall all give account.*
*WOE BETIDES ME if I do not deliver this message!*
*Please help me send it all over NIGERIA, and we shall be free from war, and PEACE shall REIGN in NIGERIA, the WONDERS of God shall happen in our lives as we send this message.*
*PEACE be unto us in JESUS' NAME. AMEN.*

Please share.

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: TUESDAY 13TH MAY 2025

THEME: *INVITE GOD'S HANDS UPON YOUR LIFE.*

MEMORIZE
Deuteronomy 9:26
I prayed therefore unto the LORD, and said, O Lord GOD, destroy not thy people and thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed through thy greatness, which thou hast brought forth out of Egypt with a mighty hand.

READ
1 Chronicles 4:9-10
And Jabez was more honourable than his brethren: and his mother called his name Jabez, saying, Because I bare him with sorrow.
And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that thine hand might be with me, and that thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*You can not fail with the hand of God upon your life.*

MESSAGE
The hand of God represents the Spirit of God.

It is the revelation of the power of God.

Israel was saved by the hand of God from Egypt.

Samson was unusually made powerful whilst the hand of God was upon his life.

The hand of God coming upon Elijah made him strong enough to overtake a chariot by the speed of the Lord.

Anything in righteousness is possible with the hand of God upon a person's life.

*The hand of God is what makes the difference in any man or woman's life.*

Today's text shows how Jabez' story was turned around by the hand of God coming upon his life at his request.

With the hand of God upon your life, amazing things in righteousness will happen in your life and destiny.

God's hand doesn't produce failures, they produce super success in the race of life. So when His hands come upon your life, you become infinitely creative and super productive.

*You can not fail with the hand of God upon your life. Everything and everyone that God touches prospers*!

Beloved, go for the hand of God in whatever you do, insist on the hand of God upon your life no matter what.

And you will be amazed at how much God can possibly accomplish through you in your lifetime.

ACTION STEPS
1. Pray and ask that God's hand come upon your life throughout your lifetime.
2. Be determined to walk in obedience to God's Word daily henceforth.
3. Stay joyful and praiseful on daily basis to keep the hand of God upon your life perpetually.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Let your mighty hand rest upon me this day and beyond in Jesus name. Amen.

REMEMBER
*You cannot fail with the hand of God upon your life.*

DAILY READING: Genesis 45-46; Proverbs 26; Psalms 56-60; Matthew 26; Acts 26.

HYMN
I know Thy hand upholdeth me,
My Saviour and my God ;
And step by step I'll follow Thee
Where'er Thy feet have trod.

I know in whom I have believed,
And, knowing, I am blest j
Thou art the Anchor of my soul —
In Thee my hope shall rest.

2
I know Thy hand upholdeth me,
When doubt and danger near
Would tempt me from the narrow way,
Or fill my heart with fear.

3
I know Thy hand upholdeth me,
And will in safety keep
My trusting heart, though I may pass
Through waters dark and deep.

4
I know Thy hand upholdeth me,
And will my soul defend ;
Sufficient is Thy grace, O Lord,
To keep me to the end.

Beloved

WHEN PATTERNS WON’T BREAK:

WHAT TO DO AFTER THE FASTING, THE PRAYING, AND THE WEEPING

To the one who has done everything right—
You’ve fasted.
You’ve prayed.
You’ve sown seeds.
You’ve gone from altar to altar, from conference to conference.

And yet the pattern remains.

The same delay.
The same heartbreak.
The same invisible wall you can't name, but feel deeply.

Let’s talk—not with pity, but with power.
Let’s face this—not with fear, but with fire.
Because the gospel of Jesus Christ is not just for easy cases—it’s for stubborn battles too.

1. YES, THERE ARE PATTERNS THAT DON’T BOW EASILY

Scripture never hid this.

The boy in Mark 9 wasn’t just demonised.

“It throws him into fire and water, trying to kill him…”
“And your disciples couldn’t cast it out.”
(Mark 9:22, 18)

There was failure—even among the prayer warriors.

But Jesus didn’t deny the pattern. He confronted it.

Some patterns persist because they are deeply embedded—legal, generational, and territorial.
Some battles are not won by a night of prayer, but by a life of rooted identity.

We’re not here to offer another seven steps to your miracle.
We’re here to call you into unshakeable sonship.

2. IF IT WON’T BREAK OUTSIDE YOU, IT’S TIME TO BUILD SOMETHING INSIDE YOU

“Having done all, stand.”
(Ephesians 6:13)

When you've done all—keep standing.
Not just standing in effort—standing in revelation.

Sometimes, God allows patterns to persist so you stop measuring victory by escape and start living it by identity.

God is not only interested in taking you out of Egypt, but in building a version of you that Egypt cannot touch again.

This is what Paul calls:

“Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
(Colossians 1:27)

Glory doesn’t begin when the pattern stops.
Glory begins when Christ becomes your posture.

3. WHAT TO DO WHEN NOTHING CHANGES OUTSIDE: ESTABLISH DOMINION INSIDE

This is where most believers quit.
But this is where you rise.

a. Establish Yourself in the Word Like a Legal Weapon

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly...”
(Colossians 3:16)

When you’re under pressure, don’t just pray louder—pray lawfully.

Open scripture like a courtroom document. Declare it like a legal sentence.

Speak:

Isaiah 54:17 – “No weapon formed against me shall prosper.”

Galatians 3:13 – “I am redeemed from every curse of the law.”

Romans 8:2 – “The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set me free from the law of sin and death.”

2 Corinthians 10:4–5 – “I cast down imaginations and take every thought captive.”

Don’t wait until a Sunday service.
Speak the Word until your spirit breaks the agreement your bloodline had with darkness.

b. Redefine Success as Obedience, Not Outcome

You may be measuring victory by what changes around you.
God measures it by what is standing inside you.

Joseph was still in prison—yet he was reigning in mindset.
Paul was still in chains—yet he wrote epistles of dominion.

The evidence of spiritual authority is not always a changed environment—it’s a changed response.

Declare daily:

“Even if the storm rages, I will not bow. I am not cursed. I am in Christ, and that is final.”

c. Reject Emotional Agreements with the Pattern

Fear is a covenant. Bitterness is a gate. Resignation is a spiritual contract.

The moment you say, “Maybe this is just how my life will be,”
You’ve signed a contract without knowing it.

Tear it.

Declare:

“I will not be passive in my pain. I will not call permanent what God has called defeated.”

Even the Lord spoke on the cross.

“My God, why have you forsaken me?”
But even in that, He never changed His confession:
“Into your hands I commit my spirit.” (Luke 23:46)

You can weep in warfare. Just don’t worship the problem.

4. ACTS: THE BLUEPRINT OF ENDURANCE AND ESTABLISHED IDENTITY

The early church knew patterns too:

Acts 12: James was killed. Peter was next in line.
But the church didn’t stop praying, even when they didn’t understand the losses.
And Peter walked out of prison without a fight—because sometimes, patterns break when you stay planted.

Acts 16: Paul and Silas were beaten, chained, humiliated.
But they worshipped—not because it made sense, but because they knew who they were.
And the foundations of the prison shook.

If it’s not shaking yet, keep worshipping.
If it’s not breaking yet, stay in revelation.

You’re not waiting for a miracle.
You are becoming one.

5. WHEN PATTERNS PERSIST, BECOME A PATTERN BREAKER BY POSTURE, NOT PANIC

You’re not being punished.
You’re being positioned.

Patterns don’t fear loud prayers.
They fear rooted sons—those who know the bloodline of Jesus now defines them.

Declare:

“I am not from where I was born. I am from where Christ died and rose again.”

If it persists, don’t run. Don’t beg.
Stand. Speak. Stay rooted.
Because your consistency is often the weapon that finishes the enemy’s case.

6. FINAL WORD: THIS IS NOT DELAY—THIS IS YOUR DEPLOYMENT

You are being forged, not forsaken.
The fire is not burning you—it’s burning off what can’t go with you.

This is not proof God has abandoned you.
This is proof God is establishing you.

“After you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace... will Himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
(1 Peter 5:10)

Let the fire refine you.
Let the storm shape you.
Let the waiting root you.

Because when the pattern finally breaks, the enemy won’t just regret ever touching you—he’ll regret ever touching your bloodline.

You’re not just being delivered from something.
You’re being delivered into someone—Christ in you.
And when that revelation becomes your residence, the battle is over.
Even if it looks like it just began.
