THEME: *THE VALUE OF TRUE WEALTH*

MEMORIZE
Proverbs 8:11
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.

READ
Proverbs 8:10-21
Receive my instruction, and not silver; and knowledge rather than choice gold.
For wisdom is better than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it.
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
I love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:
That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance; and I will fill their treasures.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*In the realm of true wealth, money is never mentioned.*

MESSAGE
Today's text shows that some things are more valuable than money.

In the realm of true wealth, money is never mentioned.

When God talks about true wealth, He does not consider money. It's only men that consider money as wealth...

Unfortunately, that is what most people know about riches and wealth.

Joseph entered Egypt with nothing physically but he rose to the highest position in the land by a higher economic value than money; in a process of time, he bought all the land of Egypt and the people who once bought him with a higher currency than silver and gold...

Daniel entered Babylon as a slave and had more influence than the king Nebuchadnezzar...
True wealth is not measured by silver and gold or money. Real wealth is the economy of higher values that money pales in comparison with.

True wealth is eternal, durable and higher in value than all that can be desired by men.

Those who possess true riches can not be "broke" in this life.

Unfortunately, many are so poor and miserably wretched; all they have is money. Sadly, many will never know how true this is until they are faced with situations that can not be arrested by money.

When life-threatening situations place demands on men, that is when we know how valueless money is in the days of wrath.

When spirits that can not be bribed or bought with money place demands on men and all they can provide as a ransome is money they end up losing their lives...

Death has no regard for your money. God has no regard for your money. In the first place, all the money belongs to Him.

Beloved, it is possible to be wealthy in silver and gold and yet bankrupt of true wealth before God and spirits.

The Laodicean church in the book of Revelation bragged about her riches in silver and gold but was seen by the LORD as wretched, poor, miserable, blind and naked... [Revelation 3:14-18]

True wealth is having Christ in your heart and living a godly life with sound character and wisdom before the LORD.

ACTION STEPS
1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide again.
2. Prioritise God's word and wisdom in your life above everything else.
3. Seek godly character and wisdom from the Lord above silver and gold.

REMEMBER
*In the realm of true wealth, money is never mentioned.*

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. I subscribe to true wealth from you today, make me wealthy according to your own standard of true wealth and keep me as the apple of your eyes in Jesus' name. Amen.

DAILY READING: Psalms 49-50; Proverbs 8-9; Matthew 14-15;

HYMN
What a Friend we have in Jesus,
All our sins and griefs to bear !
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer !
Oh, what peace we often forfeit,
Oh, what needless pain we bear------
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer !

2
Have we trials and temptations ?
Is there trouble anywhere ?
We should never be discouraged ;
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Can we find a Friend so faithful,
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness-----
Take it to the Lord in prayer !

3
Are we weak and heavy-laden,
Cumbered with a load of care ?
Precious Saviour, still our refuge-----
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
Do thy friends despise, forsake thee ?
Take it to the Lord in prayer ;
In His arms He'll take and shield thee.
Thou wilt find a solace there,

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!

ACTION STEPS
1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide again.
2. Be determined to always honour the LORD with all your worldly goods and riches.
3. Keep a regular journal of God's blessings and stay perpetually grateful for His mercies and faithfulness in your life.

REMEMBER
*It takes being thoughtful to be thankful.*

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. I receive grace to always remember you and all your blessings in my life and to show it by acts of gratitude and service towards kingdom advancement and harvest of souls in Jesus name. Amen.

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.

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

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.

*TODAY IN HISTORY*

* On this day in 2013, Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan declared a state of emergency in Borno, Yobe and Adamawa states after a series of deadly attacks by Islamist militant groups.

* On this day in 1948, Israel became an independent state. The announcement by Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, triggered a 10-month armed conflict known as the Arab-Israeli War of 1948. It started the day after the proclamation as troops of Egypt, Syria, Transjordan and Iraq invaded the young nation.

*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.
