IF YOU KEEP PICKING WRONG, READ THIS.


Choosing a partner is one of the most important decisions of your life. But many good women are making bad decisions because something deeper is influencing their choices.

These are 5 things that can cause you to choose the wrong partner even when you’re praying, fasting, and “doing everything.”

1. YOUR EMOTIONS

The moment you feel something strong, you stop seeing clearly. You start making excuses to cover up red flags because you don't want to lose this thing you feel for him.

If emotions are driving the car, wisdom is probably tied up in the boot. And that is exactly the case for many ladies.

Your emotions are good and what makes you human but you need to gain mastery over it else it will keep making you choose the wrong partners.

2. UNMET NEEDS

Some of the worst relationships you’ll ever enter are the ones you walk into with an empty cup.
Because when you’re thirsty, even p0ison can look like water.

When you have unmet needs, your definition and perception of love are altered and you will confuse so many things for love.

3. YOU’RE STILL IN YOUR FANTASY STAGE

A lot of women fall in love with the idea of a man, not the reality of who he is. You picture a wedding with him, future kids, matching Ankara, and couple selfies…

But you never stopped to ask: Is this man truly ready for what I’m praying for? Sometimes, you’re not choosing him - you’re choosing your hope.

So as long as he matches the idea of the man you fantasize about, you intentionally close your eyes to other important things and hope that helps changes later.

4. TRAUMA YOU HAVEN’T HEALED FROM

Unhealed trauma can distort a lot. You’ll think you’re following your heart, and even feel “peace” and use it as a confirmation….

But it’s your w0unds that are choosing for you because it has seen something “familiar”.

Your nervous system isn’t looking for love… it’s looking for what it knows. And until you do the healing work, your past will keep hijacking your future.

5. PRESSURE (FROM SOCIETY, FRIENDS, FAMILY OR EVEN YOURSELF)

When you’re close to your 30s and people keep asking “when are you getting married?”, it messes with your peace.

You start feeling like you’re behind. You lower your standards. You rush, settle, and pick out of fear. And the worst part? You start seeing the wrong person as “good enough” After all no one is perfect, right? All because you’re trying to meet a deadline.
=========

For how long will you keep allowing your emotions to affect your relationship choices? What unmet need is influencing your choice?

Is something from the past making you reject what is safe, good, and real? Then making you choose what isn't good for you?

How about pressure to be married? Are you giving in already?

*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.

AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID

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!

PLEASE SHARE

*EVERY MINUTE, SOMEONE LEAVES THIS WORLD.*

Age has nothing to do with it.

We're all in this queue without realizing it.

We never know how many people are in front of us.

We can't go to the back of the line.

We can't get out of line.

We can't stop moving forward.

So, while we wait in line...

Let's make peace!

Let's do good!

Let's tell the truth!

Let's be honest!

This world will leave us one day, that's for sure.

There's no point holding a grudge against someone who could leave at any moment.

There's no point sending a brother to prison when you yourself could leave first.

What's the point of boasting about putting others down when you could be gone in the next few minutes?

Why do you let yourself be deceived by your money, your social position, and your connections, when you're not the first to have them?

While you seek your brother's death for a piece of land in the village, others exploit your continent and even invade planets.

Evil is ignorance.

Pride is for the foolish.

Selfishness is for the poor.

Betrayal is for the weak.

So let's do good while we're still alive!

Let's use the little time we have left to reveal the secret of life.

This secret seems both simple and absurd.

It's what keeps the world on tenterhooks.

May God bless you richly and abundantly.

SHARING IS KIND ❤

Women with absent fathers often become beggars for love, safety, and security.
It’s heartbreaking how deeply they invest themselves in others, hoping that their love will be returned, hoping to finally feel chosen, protected, and seen.

They carry a silent ache—an invisible wound that whispers....Maybe if I give more, they’ll stay. Maybe if I’m good enough, they’ll love me.

This voice doesn’t come from who they are today, but from the little girl inside them who kept looking out the window, waiting for someone who never came.

Their love becomes a currency—they trade affection, loyalty, and even their own boundaries just to feel held.

They over-give, over-function, and over-apologize, hoping that one day, someone will finally choose to stay without conditions.

The absence of a father doesn’t just leave a physical void—it creates emotional gaps that women often try to fill with partners, friends, or even strangers.

But what’s missing isn’t just a person—it’s the early belief that they are inherently worthy of love without having to earn it.

She often becomes hyper-independent, saying she doesn’t need anyone.

But behind that strength is exhaustion—from carrying her own pain, from pretending she’s okay, from surviving in a world that never taught her how to receive.

When she finally does meet love, she may not know how to trust it.

Her nervous system doesn’t recognize consistency. It feels foreign. Unsafe even. She might push it away before it has a chance to hold her.

This woman is not broken.
She is someone who has been asked to mother herself before she was ever truly mothered. She’s someone who has built a heart out of scars and silence.

Healing for her doesn’t come from finding the perfect partner. It comes from finding herself. From meeting the little girl within and telling her, “You don’t have to beg anymore. You are already enough.”

When a woman with an absent father begins to reclaim her worth, she stops performing for love and starts attracting it from a place of truth.

Her healing isn’t just hers—it becomes a ripple that touches every generation after her.

And maybe for the first time, she finally breathes deeply… not because someone stayed, but because she stopped abandoning herself.

If you belong to this story, know that healing is possible. I’m here to help you on this journey—just reach out to me.

- Abhikesh

*From Mansion to Miracle: How Dr. Samuel Maduka Onyishi Is Turning His Castle Into a Teaching Hospital for the People*

Health and Education transform a society, a people from obscurity and backwardness to the most saught after much more than any other thing. No one understood this and is putting it into practice more Dr Samuel Maduka Onyishi, the Chancellor of Maduka University and the founder of Peace Mass Transit Group.

He passed through the streets universities of entrepreneurship to build Peace Mass Transit Group into a stable cash cow. He tried setting others up in businesses, but found out that educating the people should be the first priority. He also insisted on doing it through sustainable legacy institutions. After setting up an entrepreneurial University and university college, he has now turned his eyes on health. As we know, health is wealth.

In the area known as Nsukka Economic and Cultural Zone, which cuts across two Senatorial Districts, there is no tertiary health facility, despite hosting University of Nigeria Nsukka. With his strategic entrepreneurial eyes and empathic heart he moves to transform his country home into a Teaching Hospital. Is this possible? Dr Maduka Onyishi is a man who does impossible things quietly.

Let us go to his Amukwa village of Nsukka town, Enugu State where he has a grand estate — what many would call a castle. This majestic building, which was once Dr. Onyishi’s private residence is a reflection of years of hard work and success. Most would have kept it that way, enjoying its beauty and comfort in peace. But Dr. Onyishi has chosen to do something extraordinary: he is transforming his private home and its surrounding buildings into an international multi-specialty hospital designed to serve both the public and the medical students of Maduka University and other medical training institutions.

To make this vision a reality, he acquired 14 additional properties around the vicinity, all in an effort to make sure that this full-scale health care facility was established in his village. Thinking - home, you may call this. This isn’t just renovation, but some new buildings are already rearing their heads. It’s transformation on a massive scale.

And it’s not just about healthcare. Dr. Onyishi intentionally chose the location of the proposed university Teaching Hospital to be in Nsukka urban town, with a clear purpose — to elevate the urban status of Nsukka and drive development in his beloved community.

Yes, his personal castle and other surrounding properties are being converted into a teaching hospital. Renovations are already ongoing and soon, this luxurious property will become a state-of-the-art medical facility, not for the rich, not for the elite, but for the people.

When completed, this teaching hospital is set to become one of the best in the country — a beacon of world-class medical education and accessible healthcare.

At a time when many use wealth to build walls, Dr. Onyishi is using his to build bridges. Instead of adding more zeros to his bank account, he is investing in something far more valuable: human lives. He has openly declared his intention to return most of his wealth to charity, and this hospital is just one part of that promise. He has given it all. A billionaire without a home in his village.

This is more than entrepreneurial philanthropy. This is leadership. This is legacy. This is love in action.

Dr. Samuel Maduka Onyishi is not just building structures. He is building a future where healthcare is accessible, where education is empowering, and where transport is safe and reliable. He is proving that true success is not measured by what you accumulate but by what you give away.

In a country hungry for hope, this is the kind of story we need. It is a story of a man who remembers where he came from. A man who understands that wealth is not just for comfort but for impact.

Russia's Foreign Minister  Sergei Lavrov in 2023 stated that for Africa to truly free itself from neocolonialism and imperialism, the continent must have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council—where major global decisions are made.

Furthermore, the African nation holding that seat should also possess and host a nuclear power program to safeguard the continent's voice on the international stage. According to the minister, this represents Russia's position, and "we will see what the future holds."

Quote: "A few days ago, I saw a woman frying plantain chips, and before she commenced putting the cut to size plantain into the hot oil, she melted five white polythene into the oil.
Out of shock, I asked her why she had to melt that into the oil.
She told me that it is done to harden the chips so it doesn't break.
Oh nooooo!!!!! I couldn't believe my ears.
She then went on to ask me if I have ever wondered why the ones they sell in traffic is always firm and hardly breaks.
My people this is deadly.
Please stop buying things you can easily prepare at home.
Kidney failure is rampant these days!
Please tell your loved ones about this. Shared as copied ... please stay safe " End of quote.

IF YOU KEEP PICKING WRONG, READ THIS.


Choosing a partner is one of the most important decisions of your life. But many good women are making bad decisions because something deeper is influencing their choices.

These are 5 things that can cause you to choose the wrong partner even when you’re praying, fasting, and “doing everything.”

1. YOUR EMOTIONS

Because when you’re thirsty, even p0ison can look like water.

When you have unmet needs, your definition and perception of love are altered, and you will confuse so many things for love.

When you’re close to your 30s and people keep asking “when are you getting married?”, it messes with your peace.

You start feeling like you’re behind. You lower your standards. You rush, settle, and pick out of fear. And the worst part? You start seeing the wrong person as “good enough” After all no one is perfect, right? All because you’re trying to meet a deadline.
=========

For how long will you keep allowing your emotions to affect your relationship choices? What unmet need is influencing your choice?

Is something from the past making you reject what is safe, good, and real? Then making you choose what isn't good for you?

How about pressure to be married? Are you giving in already?

10 THINGS YOU SHOULD PAY ATTENTION TO BEFORE YOU COMMIT TO SOMEONE FOR MARRIAGE

1. HOW THEY HANDLE CORRECTION.

Marriage will require a lot of learning, unlearning and relearning. If the person is not teachable, marriage will be a challenge.

2. HOW THEY ACT WHEN THEY DON'T GET WHAT THEY WANT.

If someone cannot handle disappointments, or they always want things to go their way, that will be a difficult spouse.

3. HOW THEY ACT AROUND THE OPPOSITE GENDER.

They are in a relationship but act & behave like they are single & open. Someone who gets overly excited around the opposite gender sometimes to the point of forgetting you even exist or wants to entertain and please others, will bring you unnecessary trouble.

4. HOW THEY ACT WHEN ANGRY.

Anger is a normal human emotion, but how you control it or how it controls you will determine if you're ready for marriage or you need serious help. Does the person become insulting, violent, threatening and rude when angry; or do they control their temper? Marriage will bring some reasons to be angry here and there; can they handle it?

5. HOW THEY ACT WHEN THE CONVERSATION IS ABOUT SEX.

If they get uncomfortable when the conversation is about sex or they get overly lustful; your marriage will have trouble. Marriage should be with someone open about sex conversations and also someone who sees it as something special in marriage.

6. HOW THEY ACT WHEN THE CONVERSATION IS NOT ABOUT SEX.

Does the person tune off or show no interest when you talk about other topics? That person is only interested in sex, not a long term bond with you. Be careful!

7. HOW THEY ACT WHEN YOU CAN'T GIVE TIME.

If there are moments you can't answer the persons phone call because you're in a meeting, function or can't reply immediately to their messages but you get back to them when you're done, does the person understand; or become controlling and insecure, wanting to micromanage your time? You are safe with someone who understands there are other parts and roles in your life that need your attention.

8. HOW THEY ACT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT GOD.

If the person avoids God talk, they will not raise with you the Godly family you are praying for. Quote me anywhere, no marriage can enjoy the blessings that comes with marriage if they take away the one who instituted marriage out of the equation.

9. HOW THEY ACT WHEN YOU GO THROUGH A TOUGH MOMENT.

When you are having a bad day, when you are in trouble, does the person console you, comfort you and encourage you; or do they avoid your tough moments, are they emotionally unavailable and belittle your feelings. A good spouse cares.

10. HOW THEY ACT AROUND PEOPLE WITH MORE MONEY AND LESS MONEY.

There are partners who only wants to be with you when it is rosy & all sunshine. When the going gets tough, they run away and look for a new spark. If the person treats people based on their financial status, be careful. You could be about to get married to an opportunist. A good person is consistent in how he/she handles people of different status.

"I lost my mom at 12. A year later, my dad got married. She came with 2 kids, aged 14 a boy & a 16 year-old daughter. We lived together in the house, with me being the youngest.

I wasn't exactly maltreated, but I was being discriminated against by her children, who always got the best of everything. Growing up in that house was complicated. I did all the cooking & chores, which was a relief compared to what could have been worse - physical abuse. I ate daily meals, though not equally portioned like her kids - they got bigger pieces of meat and extra helpings. I convinced myself it was cuz I was the youngest.

However, my stepmom's behavior changed slightly when I started excelling in school. She would: Compare my grades to her daughters', Limit my study time, saying "house chores won't do themselves" Make subtle comments like "You think you're smarter than my girls?"
Despite this, I still respected her as my dad's wife and the mother of my household. Years passed, & my dad retired from his job. In a shocking move, he agreed with my stepmom to stop funding my education, citing "financial constraints. Despite that i was the most brilliant one in the house.

I was 22 & had to drop out of college to support myself & also helping stepmom in her restaurant business. That's when I met my husband - a rich, kind man who asked for my hand in marriage. My stepmom initially rejected him, saying I was "too young" & offered her older daughter instead. But he insisted on marrying me. When he approached dad, he agreed to our union. The day of my wedding, Stepmom called me into a private room & tearfully apologized for how she had treated me.

I forgave her, & we started Afresh. For over a year, we lived happily. She'd visit me often, helping with advice & support, especially when I became pregnant. Later on, after giving birth to my son, my stepmom visited, with the initial plan to stay with me for at least 6 months helping with nighttime feedings & caregiving tips. But 3 days ago something terrifying happened... While holding my 4-week-old b"by, my stepmom claimed she was "extremely sleepy" & accidentally dropped her. My son was rushed to the hospital, where doctors administered: Oxygen therapy, Phenobarbital to prevent any seizures. Thankfully, my baby is fine now...

A week before this incident, I walked into the kitchen to find my stepmom preparing my baby's bath water - it was scalding hot!. But all she could say was she "forgot" to test the temperature with her hand before putting the b"by in. Luckily, & thank God I intervened just in time, & my baby was unharmed. So now I'm really confused & consumed by doubts: If my stepmom's actions are truly accidental, or actually intentional or could it be just an act of carelessness & if i should still allow her to stay & help for the remaining 5 months, or could my bæby's safety be at risk? Please, help! kindly guide me through this.
