*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: FRIDAY 4TH JULY 2025

THEME: *POSITION FOR EXCEEDING GRACE AND GLORY*

MEMORIZE
Matthew 3:16-17
And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

READ
Isaiah 11:1-3
And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots:
And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD;
And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*The greatest ability that the Holy Spirit imparts to believers is the ability to walk in the fear of God!*

MESSAGE
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ which we are partakers of as His beloved ones, is not an ordinary grace, it is an exceeding grace, in that through that grace, the Son of God conquered death on the cross for us.

The grace that conquered death is an exceeding grace. Today with all our exploits in the gospel, many are still under the influence and dominion of death directly or indirectly.
Many are still sick, laddened with afflictions, weighed down by sin, and all manner of infirmities.

One who is weighed down by the infirmities of the mortal life is yet to experientially conquer death, irrespective of their deep revelation and great swelling words...

Jesus Christ lived an impeccably spotless life of burning holiness, even the devils bore witness to His life of searching purity and flawless character. He murdered death and ressurected gloriously and triumphantly over death and all its forces

That is exceeding grace! And only recipients of exceeding grace are candidates for exceeding GLORY!

*Jesus Christ remains the hero of all times!*

In positioning for exceeding grace, we must continually embrace the Spirit of the fear of the Lord that was mighty upon the Lord Jesus Christ.

He was in perfect sync with the will of the Father, because He was always doing whatever the Father commanded Him to do.

*And He was always obeying the Father because He had the Spirit of the fear of the Lord.*

This was why, God loved Him exceptionally and also preserved Him from death!

Consider these two scriptures

Hebrews 5:7 Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

John 8:29
And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.

The power that made Jesus to always fear His Father and to always please the Father in everything is the same power of the Holy Spirit in us today; however today's believers have perverted desires, lopsided dreams and base passions; they have quenched the Spirit of the Lord, and hence could not connect to His several abilities for conquest in their lives.

We need to be yielded to the Holy Spirit to connect to His sacred abilities in order to be pleasing to the Father in all our ways.

*The greatest ability that the Holy Spirit imparts to believers is the ability to walk in the fear of God!*

One who fears God has nothing else to fear!
The fear of the Lord is the ultimate, because it connects you to everything God has.

Shalom!

ACTION STEPS

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for today's devotional guide, I receive grace to accept responsibility for my faith in you and to stay steadfast till the end in Jesus name. Amen.

REMEMBER
*The greatest ability that the Holy Spirit imparts to believers is the ability to walk in the fear of God!*

Mining Marshals Vow to Sustain War Against Illegal Mining, Laud Dele Alake's Leadership

The Commander of the Mining Marshals, Assistant Commandant of Corps (ACC) John Onoja Attah, has reaffirmed the steadfast resolve of the special unit to stamp out illegal mining activities across Nigeria. Speaking during a media parley in Abuja, ACC Attah stated that the Mining Marshals remain "resolute and impressionable" in their mission to sanitize the nation's solid minerals sector and enforce mining regulations with precision and professionalism.

He attributed the success recorded so far to the strong political will of the Federal Government, particularly under the guidance of the Minister of Solid Minerals, Dr. Dele Alake, whose leadership, he said, has "breathed fresh momentum into the campaign against illegal mining."

Onoja added that the achievements of the Mining Marshals are also rooted in the well-laid philosophical and operational framework established by the Commandant General of the Nigerian Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC), Dr. Abubakar Ahmed Audi, mni. According to him, the Commandant General’s strategic direction has empowered the marshals to function effectively across various terrains and maintain operational discipline in line with national security objectives.

“Our operations are yielding visible results. We are dismantling criminal networks, restoring government control over mining assets, and bringing sanity to previously lawless terrains. This wouldn’t be possible without the resolute support and reformist vision of Dr. Dele Alake and the foundational guidance of CG Audi,” Attah said.

Since their deployment, the Mining Marshals, operating under the NSCDC, have carried out high-impact operations across several states in Nigeria. These operations have led to the arrest of over 300 illegal miners and their financiers, seizure and forfeiture of illegal mining equipment, and disruption of illicit gold smuggling channels and other mineral theft networks. They have also played a key role in protecting licensed miners and communities from harassment and economic sabotage.

In addition, collaborative efforts with state governments have resulted in improved monitoring, intelligence gathering, and revalidation of mining licenses, thereby boosting investor confidence.

Beyond enforcement, the activities of the Mining Marshals are already generating positive ripple effects. Local communities once plagued by insecurity and environmental degradation caused by unregulated mining are now witnessing renewed peace and cleaner environments. Artisanal miners are being sensitized and re-integrated into legal frameworks, while the government’s revenue from solid minerals is beginning to reflect steady growth.

“Our impact is not just about arrests; it's about restoring hope. Legitimate mining operators now feel protected, and communities are no longer at the mercy of violent syndicates,” ACC Attah added.

Addressing recent allegations of misconduct by marshals during operations in Nasarawa State, ACC Attah described the reports as “desperate fabrications by disgruntled elements.” He emphasized that all operations are conducted professionally and in strict adherence to legal protocols.

“These feeble rants are the last cries of criminal and mischievous individuals whose illicit operations have been disrupted. We have zero tolerance for excesses, and any officer found wanting will be dealt with in accordance with NSCDC’s disciplinary procedures. But we will not be distracted,” he said.

Looking ahead, ACC Attah expressed optimism about the future of Nigeria’s mining industry under the ongoing reforms of the Federal Government. He called on citizens, traditional institutions, and the media to support the national agenda of turning mining into a cornerstone of economic diversification.

“We are building a legacy. The Mining Marshals are here to stay. With continued support from the government, communities, and patriotic stakeholders, Nigeria will soon become a global reference point for regulated, sustainable, and inclusive mineral resource development,” he concluded.

Some members of the hijacked ADC, who were reported as members of the APC, left the APC years and months ago. Let the public not be deceived by the opposition’s narrative about their relevance or whether the APC will mourn their departure.

- Rotimi Amaechi’s soul left the APC in 2022 after losing the presidential primary to President Tinubu.

- Abubakar Malami, the former Attorney-General, has never hidden his estrangement from the APC since Tinubu assumed leadership and since he lost the governorship bid in Kebbi.

- Hadi Sirika, now with the ADC, is facing trial for contract splitting and other allegations.

-The renegade Rauf Aregbesola committed anti-party in the last Osun election and was expelled as an unfit APC member

Kashim Imam and the octogenarian Chief John Odigie Oyegun are among the disgruntled politicians posturing as would-be saviours of Nigeria. Imam abandoned the APC after failing to secure the vice-presidential ticket in 2022. Chief Oyegun, a former party chairman, also lost interest in the APC and has been a foundational member of this coalition since its inception

My advice to Nigerians: Keep your eyes wide open. A political party with no clear agenda or ideology—whose members are united only by their hatred for President Tinubu—cannot be good for our country. It will only set us back by decades.

These politicians are desperados, hungry for power, not for the benefit of Nigerians but for themselves. They want power at all costs because they cannot endure another four years in the political wilderness or be banished to political winter and irrelevance.

What is certain is that the group will soon unravel due to their irreconcilable personal and political ambitions.
