*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*
DATE: FRIDAY 13TH JUNE 2025
THEME: *KEEP YOURSELF*
MEMORIZE
1 John 5:18
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
READ
John 10:17-18
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.
No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have the power to lay it down, and I have the power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*You will be kept by God if you keep yourself.*
MESSAGE
The wicked one is not permitted to touch lives that are kept by their owners.
If you keep yourself, you will be kept by God.
One of the greatest privileges of those born of God is the power to keep themselves from the enemy of their souls and lives.
A life that is kept is secured, strong, safe, and unscathed.
The bold assertion of the LORD in today's text is a testimony of the fact that the Lord Jesus Christ kept His life from being taken by the enemy.
It is only what we keep from the enemy that enjoys divine preservation. Satan steals, kills, and destroys cheaply what we fail to keep.
Those who fail to keep themselves have announced to Satan their availability for destruction.
When men fail to keep themselves, they make themselves available for death and destruction.
It is important to note that the only people that God has on earth are those who have kept themselves.
Knowing what to keep yourself from, where to keep yourself, how to keep yourself, and keeping yourself is superior intelligence than that of the serpent that eats fallen men and women.
Those who know how to keep themselves are smarter than the serpent. God keeps them from evil and preserves them for His mighty works on the earth and for posterity.
A life that is kept is not easily touched by the enemy.
Many people are battling with so many unsavoury issues today due to the fact that they were not able to keep themselves.
For instance, those who fail to keep themselves from alcohol may face alcohol related issues in their health progressively, those who expose themselves to immorality are likely to be infested with sexually transmitted diseases, those who expose themselves to cigarettes are not likely to escape certain illnesses related to smoking of cigarettes, those who expose themselves to violence and reckless living are likely to die young. The list is endless of the things people expose themselves to and entangled themselves with in life, leading to so many issues and painful regrets.
Beloved, take my counsel today whilst your life is still whole in you, keep yourself free from sin, and you will be exempted from its ugly consequences.
The truth is that you can keep yourself. It's within your divine powers.
*You can do all things through Christ who strengthens you.*
ACTION STEPS
1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide.
2. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you keep yourself from everything that destroys men
3. Be determined to stay kept by God.
REMEMBER
*You will be kept by God if you keep yourself.*
PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. I receive grace to be kept by God from every evil and to stay preserved by God in Jesus' name. Amen.

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,
