THEME: PRAYERS FOR YOUTHS

MEMORISE: Flee also youthful lusts: but follow righteousness, faith, charity, peace, with them that call on the Lord out of a pure heart. 2 Timothy 2:22

READ: Ecclesiastes 11:9-10
9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.

10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.

PRAYERS:
1 Father, I thank You for all the Christian youths across the world. Thank You for this new generation that You have chosen to show forth Your glory.

2 Father, please let all the youths in my community and around the world who are yet to accept Jesus as their Lord and Saviour be convicted by the Holy Spirit to surrender their lives to You.

3 Father, please guide the youths as they make decisions in their education, careers, relationships, and other areas of life. Help them to make the right decisions in line with Your will for their lives, in Jesus' name.

4 Father, please keep the youths focused on You. Help them to grow deeper in love with You, in Jesus' name.

5 Father, please help the youths break all negative generational patterns. May they not repeat the mistakes of past generations, in Jesus' name.

6 Lord, I come against any agenda of the enemy concerning the youths around me. They will not die, but they will live to show forth the glory of God and become terrors to the kingdom of darkness, in Jesus' name.

7 Lord, please help the youths overcome the devil's plans to indoctrinate them with perverse morals and cultures. I decree that his evil doctrines will have no influence over them, in Jesus' name.

8 Father, please set the youths on fire for You. Let them rise in every part of the world, speaking boldly about You and influencing their communities for Your Kingdom, in Jesus' name.

9 Father, please let Your excellent Spirit rest on every youth. Bless them with Your wisdom and creativity, and make them agents of positive change in their societies, in Jesus' name.

10. Father, please strengthen the youths to overcome temptations, depression, stress, and anxiety. Empower them with good health and a sound mind to deal with all of life's challenges, in Jesus' name.

11. Father, help the youths develop the right sense of responsibility that will make them excellent leaders, in Jesus' name.

12 Your personal prayer points for the youths around you.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalms 43-49

HYMN 22: SWEET HOUR OF PRAYER

1 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
that calls me from a world of care,
and bids me at my Father's throne
make all my wants and wishes known.
In seasons of distress and grief,
my soul has often found relief,
and oft escaped the tempter's snare
by thy return, sweet hour of prayer!

2 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
the joys I feel, the bliss I share
of those whose anxious spirits burn
with strong desires for thy return!
With such I hasten to the place
where God my Savior shows his face,
and gladly take my station there,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

3 Sweet hour of prayer! sweet hour of prayer!
thy wings shall my petition bear
to him whose truth and faithfulness
engage the waiting soul to bless.
And since he bids me seek his face,
believe his word, and trust his grace,
I'll cast on him my every care,
and wait for thee, sweet hour of prayer!

The essence of a soldier lies in their obedience to authority! A true soldier follows instructions diligently. A soldier defends the constitution, which, for a Christian, is the Bible, the Word of God. A genuine soldier respects ranks and accepts orders.

As it says in **2 Timothy 2:3-4 (NIV)**: *"Join with me in suffering, like a good soldier of Christ Jesus. No one serving as a soldier gets entangled in civilian affairs, but rather tries to please his commanding officer."*

Are you prepared today to be a true soldier of Jesus?

HOW TO LOVE AND HELP YOUR HUSBAND 👱‍♀

An excellent wife is the crown of her husband." - Proverbs 12:4

1. **Respect Him Unconditionally.**

Listen to him and ask for his opinion. Value his advice and follow his guidance. Men have a deep need for respect, so show it in your tone of voice during conversations and how you approach him, especially when you disagree. Ensure your children respect their dad in the same way. Prioritize him over the children and teach them to do the same. Let him know his thoughts matter and that you truly value his input.

2. **Accept Your Husband as Your Spiritual Leader.**

Men are created to lead the family, which doesn’t imply that women are any less significant. It means God has equipped men with certain skills to effectively guide their families. As stated in Ephesians 5:22-23, “the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church.”

Accepting your husband as your spiritual leader involves recognizing and supporting his role in guiding the family’s spiritual life. Allow him to lead in prayer, Bible study, and spiritual decisions while also contributing your own insights to enrich your family’s faith journey. If he’s struggling in this area, offer your support and encourage him to seek guidance from trusted sources or professional help if necessary.

3. **Listen More.**

Engage and listen when he speaks. While you might want to make him smile, your willingness to listen can be even more impactful.

4. **Be the Best Version of Yourself.**

Show love by striving to become the best person you can be. Your happiness will positively affect your husband’s well-being too.

5. **Contribute Financially.**

Marriage is teamwork; be willing to share your financial resources to help pay the bills. Avoid being stingy with your money.

6. **Be Caring and Compassionate.**

Support him when he has a bad day or celebrate with him on a good day. Show your love and care without waiting for him to get sick or need assistance. Simple gestures like a cup of coffee in bed or a cuddle can mean a lot.

7. **Support His Dreams.**

Be flexible and willing to sacrifice for your husband’s goals. A supportive wife allows a man to push his limits and achieve success. Stand by him as a team, working together toward daily routines and long-term ambitions.

8. **Love Him Unconditionally.**

Be there for him through good times and bad, demonstrating unwavering love.

9. **Give Small Gifts.**

Make your husband feel special every day, not just on special occasions.

10. **Maintain His Wardrobe.**

Wash and iron his clothes, including underwear.

11. **Celebrate His Achievements.**

Recognize and celebrate his successes, no matter how small.

12. **Discipline Your Children Together.**

Avoid saying, “I will report you to your daddy.” Work as a team in parenting.

13. **Spend Money Wisely.**

Utilize any money he gives you judiciously, showing you value his contributions.

14. **Submit to Him** as your lord and king.

15. **Pray for Him Regularly.**

Let him know you’re praying for his well-being, demonstrating care for his spiritual life.

16. **Comfort and Console Him.**

Be there to provide strength and support whenever he needs it.

17. **Be Intimate.**

Prioritize your physical relationship and do not neglect your s€xual intimacy.

18. **Keep a Clean Home.**

Maintain a tidy and organized living space.

19. **Prepare Timely Meals.**

Ensure he is fed and nourished regularly.

20. **Show Appreciation.**

Praise him and express gratitude. Encouragement can motivate him to go the extra mile for you.

21. **Make Him Laugh.**

Lighten the mood by making him laugh daily.

**COUPLES WHO HELP EACH OTHER CAN NEVER BE HELPLESS**

You will not fail in marriage, in Jesus' name.

Please share this message with your loved ones.

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: SUNDAY 15TH JUNE 2025

THEME: *PRAY FOR ISRAEL*

MEMORIZE
Psalms 122:6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee.

READ
Isaiah 62:1-7 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.
And the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the LORD shall name.
Thou shalt also be a crown of glory in the hand of the LORD, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Thou shalt no more be termed Forsaken; neither shall thy land any more be termed Desolate: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah, and thy land Beulah: for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married.
For as a young man marrieth a virgin, so shall thy sons marry thee: and as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.
I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence,
And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Whatever happens to Israel affects the whole world.*

MESSAGE
God's own people; the Israelites are undoubtedly and arguably the most embattled people in all of human history.

They have fought battles from the beginning of their existence as a nation since their exit from their iron masters in Egypt.

They never truly had peace in their supposed promise land.

All through to the genocidal holocaust by the nazis. In it all, they have managed by God's mercy and word of oath to emerge as a strong and enviable democratic nation in the Middle East and around the world.

Today, much more than any other time, they face the greatest threats of annihilation by their avowed enemies.

We need to pray for Israel. If you are reading this devotional guide, then God is calling you to stand with Israel as an intercessor.

There are at least five reasons why we should stand with Israel in prayers.

1. They gave us the Bible; God's Holy Book that has brought restoration and great changes to the whole world. All the inspired writers of the Bible are Jewish people. And more than eighty percent of Bible scenes are Jewish.
2. They gave us the Saviour. Jesus Christ our Lord and Saviour came to the earth as a Jew and through the Jewish people.
3. They gave us some of the best technologies in the world. More than ninety percent of the technologies and innovation in today's world are products of the Jewish people.
4. Those who love them prosper. God promised to bless those who bless them and to curse those who curse them. And in today's memory verse, it says; they shall prosper that love her.
5. Israel has produced more men that have shaped and changed the world than probably any other nations on earth. Apart from Bible figures like Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Moses, Joseph, Daniel, King David, The Lord Jesus Christ and His disciples, Paul the Apostle, we also have the likes of Albert Einstein, Mike Zuckerberg, and many others who positively impacted the world with their innovations.

Beloved, we cannot ignore a people so vitally consequential like the Jewish people.

One of the smallest nations on earth yet so powerful that the whole world shakes when they speak, because of God's covenant with them through their fathers; Father Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Israel is a land that enjoys divine attention perpetually. The Bible describes the land of Israel with these words;
Deuteronomy 11:12 "A land which the LORD thy God careth for: the eyes of the LORD thy God are always upon it, from the beginning of the year even unto the end of the year."

*We cannot ignore a people that God is so passionately concerned about...*

*Whatever happens to Israel affects the whole world.*

ACTION STEPS
1. Pray for Israel today, Pray for her peace.
2. Pray for peace in the entire middle east.
3. Pray that you will be ready at all times for the rapture of the church in Christ Jesus.

REMEMBER
*Whatever happens to Israel affects the whole world.*

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. We ask today for your mercy upon Israel as you remember your sacred covenant with Father Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. We decree peace and tranquility in Israel and in the entire middle east in Jesus name. Amen.

DAILY READING: Deuteronomy 28-29; Psalms 122-123; Matthew 24-25;

HYMN
1
Guide me, O Thou great Jehovah,
Pilgrim through this barren land;
I am weak, but Thou art mighty;
Hold me with Thy powerful hand
Bread of heaven,
Feed me till I want no more.

2
Open now the crystal fountain,
Whence the healing waters flow;
Let the fiery, cloudy pillar,
Lead me all my journey through:
Strong Deliverer,
Be Thou still my strength and shield.

3
When I tread the verge of Jordan,
Bid my anxious fears subside;
Bear me through the swelling current,
Land me safe on Canaan’s side:
Songs of praises
I will ever give to Thee!

What killers do not know is even if they kill someone in his sincerity and honest being demonized and falsely accused, they actually have not killed him, because of the glory that follows the righteous of faith in Christ Jesus!

Allow them to keep doing the work of Satan their master, because whatever is buried must resurrect by the faith and power of the Most High himself: Abba Father!

Do not bother about all the lies they tell about you; focus on Abba Father and His instructions and inspired directions for you as an individual.
