Affirmation Say with me: Today, I rise with hope, knowing that God’s love for me is unfailing. His mercies are new every morning, and His faithfulness will carry me through. No matter what I face, I am surrounded by grace, guided by love, and strengthened by His promise.

God's Word for you today 🕊️ “The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.” — Lamentations 3:22-23 Beloved, in the midst of sorrow and devastation, Jeremiah declares a powerful truth: God’s love never fails.

It’s a call to trust—not in our circumstances—but in the unchanging nature of our loving Father. Your day is blessed 🙏

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE* DATE: FRIDAY 9TH MAY 2025 THEME: *ABSOLUTE TRUST IN GOD* MEMORIZE Psalms 62:11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. READ Psalms 62:1-2, 5-9, 11 Truly my soul waiteth upon God: from him cometh my salvation. He only is my rock and my salvation; he is my defence; I shall not be greatly moved. My soul, wait, thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. He only is my rock, and my salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. In God is my salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength and my refuge is in God. Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah. Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth unto God. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY *Trust in God is absolute when we are bankrupt of options.* MESSAGE The Psalmist, in today's text, expressed his unreserved trust and confidence in God alone, because he understood the danger of trusting in mortal men irrespective of their status or placement in life. Humans are so frail, fickle and unsure. The best of men are still men, subject to the limitations of flesh and blood. Only God is truly reliable, absolute and consistent with His word. It is easy to say I trust in God only when you do not have anyone in your life. However, the Psalmist in today's text, being a king had all kinds of people around him, but his experiences about men generally was probably not a palatable one. He reiterated that his hope was in God alone. There are three dimensions to the issue of trust. 1. There is "no need for trust" in God when there is an assurance of options. 2. "Low trust" in God when there are options but unsure of their reliability. 3. Absolute trust when you do not have any option. Usually, trust in God is absolute when you realise that you do not have anyone to look up to for help. Let me ask you: Do you have options of where or whom to run to apart from the Lord? Or is your trust absolutely on God alone? The Bible tells us that the eyes of the Lord run to and fro the earth looking for those who are absolutely trusting in His help to show Himself mighty on their behalf. (2Chr 16:9) It is possible to have all kinds of people in your life, as in the case with the Psalmist in today's text, but he chose to repose his complete trust in God because in his honest opinion of men he saw that they were altogether lighter than vanity. *Beloved, it is capital wisdom to trust in God, who is most reliable instead of fickle men who are given to change.* ACTION STEPS 1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide. 2. Allow the Lord to introduce men to you. 3. Ask the Lord to help you align yourself with His mercies and grace for timely help always. REMEMBER *Trust in God is absolute when we are bankrupt of options.* PRAYERS Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Help me to align myself perfectly for your help, always in Jesus' name. Amen AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID DAILY READING: Habakkuk 3, Acts 14-16; Hebrews 11-12; Jude 1. 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, PLEASE SHARE

Good girls easily fall prey to pastors as they have unshakable faith in pastors instead of God. Parents, beware!

Some time you need to secure yourself physical not spiritual because they physical battle are more dangerous then spiritual , Mind u after God is Gone dont play ….boom 💥 Not every battle is a spiritual battle. Some critical conditions require a critical approach. Even David picked up a stone when facing Goliath (1 Samuel 17:40). Jesus told His disciples, ‘He who has no sword, let him sell his cloak and buy one’ (Luke 22:36). Faith does not deny danger, it discerns it. There is a time to pray, and a time to act (Ecclesiastes 3:1,8). Wisdom calls for readiness. For even Nehemiah’s builders worked with one hand and held a weapon in the other (Nehemiah 4:17). Let your trust in God never make you careless. Watch and pray, and prepare #AdakoleJohnPaulCares

(lsa 41 v10) Lord Jesus, be with us today, in times of difficulty and in times of peace. Let us be comforted by the assurance that you are always close... Amen. Good morning, have a blessed day.

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE* DATE: THURSDAY 8TH MAY 2025 THEME: *LIVE PRAYERFULLY* MEMORIZE 1 Peter 4:7 [7]But the end and culmination of all things has now come near; keep sound minded and self-restrained and alert therefore for [the practice of] prayer. READ Luke 18:1-8 [1]ALSO [Jesus] told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not to turn coward (faint, lose heart, and give up). [2]He said, In a certain city there was a judge who neither reverenced and feared God nor respected or considered man. [3]And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, Protect and defend and give me justice against my adversary. [4]And for a time he would not; but later he said to himself, Though I have neither reverence or fear for God nor respect or consideration for man, [5]Yet because this widow continues to bother me, I will defend and protect and avenge her, lest she give me intolerable annoyance and wear me out by her continual coming or at the last she come and rail on me or assault me or strangle me. [6]Then the Lord said, Listen to what the unjust judge says! [7]And will not [our just] God defend and protect and avenge His elect (His chosen ones), who cry to Him day and night? Will He defer them and delay help on their behalf? [8]I tell you, He will defend and protect and avenge them speedily. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find [persistence in] faith on the earth? THOUGHT FOR THE DAY *We build a stronger bond with God through prayers.* MESSAGE Today's text reveals a major reason to live prayerfully. It says, "Men ought always to pray and not to turn coward..." This implies that all who give up praying have turned cowardly. They have become fainthearted and consequently have given up. The truth is that to give up in prayers implies submission to fears and the forces of hell directly or indirectly. *The times we live in demands that we live prayerfully.* Therefore, the apostle Peter in today's memory verse reminded us that the end and the culmination of all things are here with us; and he admonished that we keep a clear head or a sound mind, self restrained and alert always for the practice of prayer. *Prayer is so vital because we build a stronger bond with God through it.* Persistence in prayer does not only guarantee the ability for breakthroughs, but it is also the proof of our persistence in the faith, which is fast being eroded in today's church. ACTION STEPS 1. Reflect more on today's devotional guide prayerfully. 2. Consider prioritising your life for more time with God in prayers and in the Word. 3. Ask the Lord to baptize you with the spirit of grace and supplication to pray more. REMEMBER *We build a stronger bond with God through prayers.* PRAYERS Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Draw me closer to you more than ever and deliver me from every form of distractions to true praying in Jesus name. Amen. AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID DAILY READING: Esther 8; Mark 15-16; Revelation 4-5; HYMN All to Jesus I surrender, All to Him I freely give ; I will ever love and trust Him, In His presence daily live. I surrender all, ... I surrender all ; . . . All to Thee, my blessed Saviour, I surrender all. . . . 2 All to Jesus I surrender, Humbly at His feet I bow ; Worldly pleasures all forsaken---- Take me, Jesus, take me now. 3 All to Jesus I surrender, Make me, Saviour, wholly Thine ; Let the Holy Spirit witness I am Thine and Thou art mine. 4 All to Jesus I surrender : Lord, I give myself to Thee ; Fill me with Thy love and power, Let Thy blessing rest on me. 5 All to Jesus I surrender : Now I feel the sacred flame ; Oh the joy of full salvation !

* 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! 🥂*

The Silent Tears😭 Amaka and Jide were the kind of couple that radiated love and laughter. From the outside, everything looked perfect. But behind the closed doors of their home, silence often screamed louder than words. Seven years into their marriage and no child. The first two years, they smiled through it. By the third year, the comments started. “When are we hearing good news?” “You know, it’s good to act fast before it’s too late.” The words stung, but they smiled anyway. Inside, the emptiness grew. Doctors said there was no issue. But every month brought hope, and every month ended in pain. Amaka cried herself to sleep many nights. Jide remained her strength, but even he started breaking inside. Family pressures mounted, unsolicited advice poured in—from traditional cleanses to prayer camps. They tried everything. Nothing changed. There was a moment, one rainy night, when Amaka packed a bag. “Maybe I’m the problem. Maybe you deserve a chance to be a father,” she whispered through tears. Jide held her tightly and said, “You are my miracle, with or without children. But our story isn’t over yet.” They decided to stop trying and started living again—supporting others, building their faith, and embracing each day. The wait didn’t get easier, but they found peace in their togetherness. And then, in the 9th year, a miracle happened.
