*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: THURSDAY 19TH JUNE 2025

THEME: *ACTIVATE YOUR DIVINE INTELLIGENCE*

MEMORIZE
Job 32:8
[8]But there is [a vital force] a spirit [of intelligence] in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives men understanding. [Prov. 2:6.] [AMP]

READ
Acts 6:1-7
And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration.
Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is not reason that we should leave the word of God, and serve tables.
Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy Ghost and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business.
But we will give ourselves continually to prayer, and to the ministry of the word.
And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:
Whom they set before the apostles: and when they had prayed, they laid their hands on them.
And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*The brightest minds in the universe are those who study under the LORD.*

MESSAGE
Yesterday we saw the awesome necessity of functioning with quick understanding in the fear of the LORD.

This is vitally necessary because, we do not always know what to do because of the high percentage of our ignorance due to spiritual blindness and the impact of darkness on our spiritual senses. This is why we need to be extraordinarily passionate about our fellowship with the LORD.

We need the LORD much more than ever.

Today's memory verse tells us that we already have a vital force or a spirit of intelligence in us which requires an activation by the breath of the Almighty God.

Three spiritual exercises are vital to activating our divine intelligence.

1. BE CEASELESS IN PRAYERS.
Why we should pray always and spend more time in prayers is because through prayers we reduce our ignorance and by spending time daily in God's word, we increase our capacity for divine intelligence.

The Lord Jesus Christ in His earthly days spent so much time in prayers as to make it a notable feature of His earthly life and ministry because He had to function in alignment with the will of His Father, and to do this perfectly, He had to battle with His humanity to align with His divinity. We were only permitted to see that He battled with His humanity when He was praying in the garden of Gethsemane before His passion. However, He allowed His humanity to be conquered by the perfect will of His Father through willing submission and obedience.

The altar of incessant prayers is a necessity because that is where we reduce our ignorance and resistance to God's perfect will for our lives.

The Bible puts it this way;
Jeremiah 33:3
[3]Call to Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things, fenced in and hidden, which you do not know (do not distinguish and recognize, have knowledge of and understand).

2. REGULAR INTAKE OF GOD’S WORD.
The act of regular intake of the Word of God is necessary because through it we expose ourselves to divine light and increase our intelligence.
See;
Psalm 119:105,130
[105]Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. [Prov. 6:23.]
[130]The entrance and unfolding of Your words give light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple.

3. SPEAK FORTH GOD’S WORD REGULARLY.
The act of speaking forth the word of God through teaching others, preaching, witnessing, or prophetic confession of God's Word increases our learning and divine brightness in God.
Proverbs 16:21
The wise in heart shall be called prudent: and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.
Proverbs 16:23
The heart of the wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips.

Beloved, availing yourself in God's presence regularly is making yourself a student of the LORD.

*Those who are privileged to study under the LORD are the brightest minds in time and in eternity*

ACTION STEPS
1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide.
2. Be determined to keep on reducing your ignorance and increasing your intelligence.
3. Insist on a regiment of tight spirituality with the Lord Jesus Christ.

REMEMBER
*The brightest minds in the universe are those who study under the LORD.*

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. I receive grace to accept the responsibility of activating my divine intelligence through the exercise of higher spirituality in Jesus name. Amen.

DAILY READING: 2Chronicles 2-4; Psalms 144-145; Hebrews 11-12;

HYMN
1
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

2
When darkness hides His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the vail.

3
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the ’whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

4
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
On ,may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne!

*DIABETES*
Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by high blood glucose levels, often leading to damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves.

The main types of diabetes include type 1,
type 2, and gestational diabetes.

Types of Diabetes:

*Type 1 Diabetes:*
This type is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, resulting in little to no insulin production.
It often develops in childhood or adolescence but can occur at any age.


*Type 2 Diabetes:*
In this type, the body either doesn't produce enough insulin or its cells don't respond properly to insulin (insulin resistance). This leads to a buildup of glucose in the bloodstream.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common type and usually develops in adulthood, but it can also occur in children.

*Gestational Diabetes:*
This type develops during pregnancy and typically resolves after childbirth. However, women who have gestational diabetes have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.

*Prediabetes:*
This is a condition where blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. Individuals with prediabetes are at higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Treating diabetes involves a multifaceted approach, including lifestyle modifications like diet and exercise, and often requires medication, such as insulin or non-insulin antihyperglycemic agents. The specific formulation used depends on the type of diabetes and individual patient needs.

Types of Diabetes and Treatment Approaches:
Type 1 Diabetes:
Primarily requires insulin therapy due to the body's inability to produce insulin. Insulin is administered through injections or an insulin pump, mimicking the natural function of the pancreas.

Type 2 Diabetes:
Often managed initially with diet and exercise, but may require medication as well. Medications can include oral antidiabetic drugs (e.g., sulfonylureas, metformin, GLP-1 receptor agonists) or insulin therapy.

Gestational Diabetes:
Usually managed with diet, exercise, and potentially insulin, especially if blood sugar levels are not controlled.

Formulation Methods:
Diet and Exercise:
These play a crucial role in managing blood sugar levels, improving insulin sensitivity, and promoting overall health.

Insulin Therapy:
Involves administering insulin to lower blood sugar levels. Different types of insulin are available, including short-acting, rapid-acting, and long-acting options, and are chosen based on individual needs.

Non-Insulin Antihyperglycemic Medications:
These drugs work in different ways to lower blood sugar levels, such as by increasing insulin production, improving insulin sensitivity, or slowing down glucose absorption.
Other Treatments:
May include therapies like islet cell transplantation (a more advanced treatment that restores insulin-producing cells) or insulin pumps (devices that deliver insulin continuously, mimicking the body's natural function).

Example of a Formulation (Combination Therapy):
A common approach for type 2 diabetes is a combination of oral antidiabetic medications (like metformin) and insulin, used when oral medications alone are not sufficient to control blood sugar.

Some formulations may also include other treatments like GLP-1 receptor agonists, which can help improve blood sugar control and may also lead to weight loss.

Important Considerations:
Individualized Treatment:
The specific formulation used should be tailored to each patient's individual needs, taking into account factors like their age, other health conditions, and medication preferences.

Monitoring and Adjustments:
Regular blood sugar monitoring and follow-up appointments are essential to ensure the formulation is working effectively and to make necessary adjustments.

Education and Support:
Patient education is crucial to ensure proper medication use and understanding of the diabetes management plan.

Diabetes treatment formulation involves a comprehensive.

1. *Dietary changes*: Balanced meal planning, carbohydrate counting.

2. *Physical activity*: Regular exercise, such as walking, jogging..

3. *Weight management*: Maintaining a healthy weight.

Monitoring and Adjustments
1. *Blood glucose monitoring*: Regular tracking of blood sugar levels.

2. *A1C testing*: Monitoring long-term glucose control.

3. *Medication adjustments*: Healthcare provider-guided changes.

Education and Support
1. *Diabetes education*: Understanding the condition, treatment and self-management.

Over time, diabetes can damage blood vessels in the heart, eyes, kidneys and nerves. People with diabetes have a higher risk of health problems including heart attack, stroke and kidney failure. Diabetes can cause permanent vision loss by damaging blood vessels in the eyes.


*DIET PLAN ON DIABETES PATIENT*

*A diabetic diet focuses on managing blood sugar levels through a balanced intake of carbohydrates, protein, and healthy fats, while also prioritizing whole, unprocessed foods and limiting added sugars and refined grains.*

*Principles of a diabetic diet:*
Carbohydrates: Choose complex carbohydrates like whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes.

*These are digested more slowly, preventing rapid spikes in blood sugar.*

*Protein:* Include lean protein sources such as fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, beans, and lentils.

*Healthy Fats:* Opt for healthy fats like olive oil, avocados, nuts, and seeds.

*Fiber:* Increase fiber intake through whole grains, vegetables, and fruits to help regulate blood sugar.

*Portion Control:* Be mindful of portion sizes to avoid overconsumption of carbohydrates and calories.

*Limit Added Sugars:* Reduce intake of sugary drinks, desserts, and processed foods.

*Regular Meal Times:* Eat meals at regular intervals to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

*Foods to include:*
Non-starchy vegetables: Spinach, leafy greens, carrots, bell peppers.

*Whole grains:* Whole wheat bread, brown rice, quinoa, oats.

*Fruits:* Choose whole fruits over juices or dried fruit.

*Lean protein:* Fish, chicken, turkey, eggs, beans, lentils.
Low-fat dairy: Milk, yogurt, cheese.

*Healthy fats:* Olive oil, avocados, nuts, seeds.
Foods to limit or avoid:
Sugary drinks: Soda, juice, sports drinks.
Refined grains: White bread, white rice, pasta.
Processed foods: Fast food, chips, sugary snacks.

Saturated and trans fats: Found in processed meats, butter, and fried foods.

Example meal plan:
*Breakfast:* Oatmeal with berries and nuts, or a lean protein omelet with vegetables.


*Lunch:* Salad with grilled chicken or fish, whole-grain bread, and vegetables.

*Dinner:* Baked chicken or fish with roasted vegetables and brown rice.

Snacks: Fruits, vegetables, nuts, or a piece of whole-grain bread with a small amount of low-fat cheese.

*Additional Tips:*
Read food labels: Pay attention to sugar and carbohydrate content.

Consult with a registered dietitian: A dietitian can help create a personalized meal plan.

*Stay hydrated:* Drink plenty of water throughout the day.

*Be active:* Regular physical activity helps improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control.

*Manage stress:* High stress levels can impact blood sugar.

*Don't skip meals:* Regular meals help prevent blood sugar swings.

*Monitor your blood sugar:* Regularly check your blood sugar levels to track your progress and make adjustments to your diet.

*Consider cultural preferences:* Incorporate healthy versions of traditional Nigerian dishes into your meal plan.

Use the plate method: Fill half of your plate with non-starchy vegetables, a quarter with lean protein, and a quarter with a carbohydrate.

*POTENTIAL WARNING SIGNS OF DIABETES* include increased thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, excessive hunger, fatigue, blurred vision, slow-healing wounds, numbness or tingling in hands/feet, frequent skin or vaginal yeast infections, and dark skin patches.

More detailed look at each of these signs:
1. Increased Thirst and Frequent Urination:
Excessive thirst (polydipsia) and frequent urination (polyuria) are common early symptoms, especially in type 1 diabetes.

2. Unexplained Weight Loss:
Despite increased appetite, unexplained weight loss can be a sign of type 1 diabetes, as the body is unable to utilize glucose for energy.

3. Excessive Hunger:
Increased appetite (polyphagia) can occur as the body tries to compensate for the inability to use glucose.

4. Fatigue:
Persistent tiredness and weakness can be a result of high blood sugar levels and dehydration from frequent urination.

5. Blurred Vision:
High blood sugar can affect the lens and cause changes in fluid levels in the eye, leading to temporary blurring.

6. Slow-Healing Wounds:
Diabetes can impair blood circulation, slowing down the healing process of cuts and sores.

7. Numbness or Tingling in Hands/Feet:
Nerve damage (neuropathy) from high blood sugar can cause tingling or numbness, particularly in the extremities.

8. Frequent Skin or Vaginal Yeast Infections:
High blood sugar can create an environment for yeast to thrive.

9. Dark Skin Patches:
Acanthosis nigricans, characterized by dark, velvety patches in skin folds (like armpits, neck, groin), can be a sign of type 2 diabetes.

10. Shin Spots (Diabetic Dermopathy):
These round, brown or reddish-brown spots, often on the shins, can be a sign of diabetes and may fade after diabetes is well-controlled.

*Several herbs medicine for management blood sugar levels, including cinnamon, fenugreek, bitter melon, it's very important to check the patient sugar levels before incorporating them into your routine, especially if you have diabetes.*

Herbs and Supplements for Blood Sugar Control:

*Treatment plan for the management of diabetes*

King of bitter, abere seed,bitter leaf and bitter kola

From personal experience, both King of Bitters and Abere Seed live up to their reputations but in different ways.

*King of Bitters* has a sharp, intense bitterness that fully activates all the bitter-sensitive areas of the tongue. It hits hard the moment it touches your tongue but fades relatively quickly. The initial impact is strong, but it doesn’t linger for too long.

*Abere Seed*, on the other hand, offers a more complex bitterness. It not only stimulates the bitter taste buds but seems to engage the sour-sensitive areas as well.

The bitterness hits hard—just like King of Bitters—but unlike it, the taste lingers stubbornly. It stays on your tongue, often making you want to scrape it off. That lingering bitterness is what sets it apart.

*Bitter Leaf* falls somewhere in between. Its bitterness is noticeable and persistent but not as sharp as King of Bitters nor as lingering as Abere Seed. In my experience, *Bitter Kola* shares a similar bitterness level with Bitter Leaf—distinct but not overwhelming.

Now, imagine combining these four potent botanicals—King of Bitters, Abere Seed, Bitter Leaf, and Bitter Kola—into one powerful herbal formulation:
*Know as Bitters Capsule*.

This herbal blend could be nature’s answer to some of the most stubborn ailments. From supporting *liver health* to reversing *diabetics status, fighting hepatitis*, and even showing promise in the *treatment of cancer*—bitter plants hold remarkable healing potential.

Yes, Nature truly put healing essence in bitter herbs.

Sometimes, it's easier to stay silent than to tell everyone how not okay I am. I know that some people would actually care about me, but I believe that they would never fully understand how I feel. I am so sick of this life. And if I ever say this to anyone, I am sure that they will give me some motivation or any words that will encourage me to keep living. It is not bad actually, and I know that they just really want to comfort and help me. However, my honest feeling is that I'm also sick of hearing positive words that are not really making me feel better. I'm already tired of hearing people say that everything will be okay tomorrow or maybe someday, but I've already been holding on to those words for a long time, and I am here— still not okay.
I just really want to be silent whenever somebody asks me if I'm okay. Though I still want to share my story, I don't want to have a listener who talks a lot about the beautiful things in this world, to which I can't relate because I've suffered a lot. The truth is, I'd rather hear how painful and sad life can be just so I can learn how to live with it. Whenever somebody asks me if I'm okay, I usually lie or pretend and say that I'm fine. But I'm honestly hoping that some people will sit with me and talk to me as if they really know how heavy I feel inside. I just want to be understood. So I will always choose to keep all my feelings to myself unless I find someone who deeply understands that I am not just unwell, but I am actually on the edge of giving up.

THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS
PART 13
The past month had been a balm, a deep, golden reprieve after the tempest of Amanda. Sunlight seemed brighter in the penthouse, laughter came easier, and the love between Jessica and Scar felt like a fortress rebuilt stronger on the ruins of distrust. They were inseparable. Mornings lingered over shared coffee and murmured plans. Evenings were spent entwined on the sofa, Jessica reading law texts while Scar reviewed encrypted reports, his hand perpetually resting on her knee or playing with a strand of her long, dark hair. He’d taken to calling her "Counselor" with a teasing glint in his eyes, a constant, warm reminder of his investment in her future. The shadow of Amanda felt distant, a bad dream fading in the dawn of their renewed intimacy.
This particular morning bloomed with deceptive serenity. Sunlight streamed through the expansive windows, painting warm diamonds on the polished floor. Jessica, humming softly, prepared two cups of strong, dark coffee – Scar’s favorite, brewed just the way he liked it. She carried them to the balcony where he sat, immersed in a financial ledger, the Lagos skyline a glittering backdrop. He looked up as she approached, his stern features instantly softening into the smile reserved only for her. He pulled her down for a quick, tender kiss.
"Morning, Counselor," he murmured, his thumb brushing her cheekbone. "Smells perfect."
"It is," Jessica smiled, placing his cup before him. She settled into the adjacent chair, cradling her own cup, savoring the rich aroma and the peaceful domesticity. For a few blissful minutes, they sipped in companionable silence, the city’s hum a distant lullaby.
Then, the world shattered.
A choked gasp tore from Scar’s throat. Jessica looked over, startled. His face had gone unnaturally pale, a sickly grey undertone replacing his healthy complexion. His coffee cup clattered to the marble floor, shattering, dark liquid spreading like a stain. His hand flew to his throat, his eyes wide with a sudden, terrifying confusion.
"Sebastian?" Jessica breathed, frozen for a heartbeat.
He lurched forward, gagging violently. A thin stream of white, frothy foam bubbled from the corner of his lips. His body convulsed, muscles locking in agonizing spasms. He crashed sideways off the chair, hitting the balcony floor with a sickening thud, his limbs jerking uncontrollably.
Panic, pure and primal, seized Jessica. "SEBASTIAN!" she screamed, the sound tearing her throat. She scrambled towards him, her hands fluttering uselessly over his convulsing form. The white foam was thicker now, coating his chin. His eyes rolled back, showing the whites. "HELP! SOMEBODY HELP!"
The penthouse exploded into chaos. Heavy footsteps pounded. William burst onto the balcony first, his face draining of color at the sight of his boss writhing on the floor, choking on foam. Ghost, a silent, perpetually watchful presence whose loyalty was unquestioned, materialized beside him, his dark eyes instantly assessing the scene with chilling calm. Two more guards followed, their expressions grim.
"Poison!" William snarled, dropping to his knees beside Scar. "Get the medical team! NOW!" One guard sprinted back inside, shouting into his comms.
Ghost efficiently helped William roll Scar onto his side, trying to clear his airway as he gagged and choked. Jessica knelt beside them, tears streaming down her face, her hands trembling as she tried to wipe the foam from his mouth. "Hold on, Sebastian! Please hold on!"
Within minutes, the penthouse became a triage zone. Scar’s private medical team arrived, moving with grim efficiency. They administered oxygen, injected emergency medications to counteract the convulsions, and stabilized him for transport. As they lifted him onto a stretcher, his body still twitching, his skin clammy and grey, Jessica felt a piece of her soul tear away. She tried to follow, clutching his limp hand.
"Where are you taking him? I need to be with him!" she pleaded.
"The hospital. Our facility," William said tersely, his face etched with worry and suspicion. "Stay here, Jessica." His tone held a command she’d never heard directed at her before.
The journey to Scar’s private, high-security hospital wing was a blur of flashing lights and suffocating dread. Jessica rode in a separate car, flanked by guards, her mind racing. *Poisoned.* The word echoed like a death knell. *How? When?* Her thoughts snagged, horrifyingly, on the image of the coffee cup. *She* had made it. *She* had handed it to him. *She* was the last person to touch it before he drank.
The sterile, cold air of the hospital corridor did nothing to calm the rising hysteria. Doctors rushed Scar into an emergency room, shutting the doors firmly. Jessica paced, her arms wrapped tightly around herself, feeling exposed and terrified. William and Ghost stood nearby, their expressions unreadable, communicating in low tones with other arriving lieutenants.
Suddenly, the tense silence was shattered by the sharp click of stiletto heels on the polished floor. Amanda. She strode down the corridor like a vengeful goddess, dressed in a sleek black pantsuit, her blonde curls impeccable, her face a mask of icy fury.
She stopped inches from Jessica, her dark eyes blazing with pure malice. "You," she spat, the word dripping venom. "You poisonous little SLUT!"
Jessica flinched, taking a step back. "Amanda, this isn't—"
"Shut your filthy mouth!" Amanda hissed, her voice low but carrying through the corridor. "You couldn't stand that he was mine! Couldn't stand that he sent you away! So you tried to kill him!" She leaned in, her voice dropping to a chilling whisper only Jessica could hear. "But don't worry, gutter rat. When he dies – and he will die – I'll make sure you suffer slowly. Very, very slowly. I'll peel the skin from your bones myself."
The raw hatred in Amanda’s eyes was terrifying. Before Jessica could react, Amanda raised her voice, projecting it to the gathered men. "Look at her! She made his coffee! She was alone with him! She's the only one who wanted him dead! SHE POISONED HIM!"
The accusation hung in the air, toxic and heavy. Eyes turned towards Jessica – William’s gaze hardened, others narrowed with suspicion. The seed of doubt Amanda planted found fertile ground in the fear and anger already swirling around them.
"Take her," William ordered, his voice cold, devoid of its usual respect. "Secure her. Now."
Strong hands clamped onto Jessica’s arms. "No! I didn't! I would never!" she cried, struggling futilely against the grip of two burly guards. "It was her! She did this! She threatened him! She threatened me!"
Amanda laughed, a sharp, brittle sound. "Lies! Desperate lies from a murderer! Lock her up!"
As Jessica was dragged away, kicking and pleading, her eyes locked with Ghost’s. His expression was inscrutable, but for a fleeting second, she saw something – not suspicion, but intense calculation. He gave her the faintest, almost imperceptible nod, then turned his attention back to the emergency room doors.
Jessica was shoved into a small, sterile holding room within the hospital, guarded heavily. Despair washed over her. Sebastian was dying. Everyone believed she’d done it. Amanda had won. Panic surged. Her family! Amanda knew where they lived! She fumbled for the phone she’d been allowed to keep, frantically dialing her mother.
"Mama!" she sobbed when the call connected. "Listen! You have to leave! Right now! Take everyone and run! Go somewhere safe! Don't tell anyone! Amanda… she… Sebastian’s poisoned… they think I did it… she’ll come for you! PLEASE RUN!"
Her mother’s voice was thick with terror and confusion. "Jessica! What? Poisoned? Baby—"
"NO TIME! RUN! NOW!" Jessica screamed before the call was abruptly cut off. One of the guards outside had heard and seized her phone.
Minutes later, William stormed into the room, his face thunderous. "Your family," he stated coldly. "They won't be going anywhere. They’re under protective custody. House arrest. For their own safety… and ours." The implication was clear: they were hostages, leverage against her.
Jessica crumpled onto the hard cot, her world reduced to crushing fear and helplessness. Sebastian was fighting for his life. Her family was imprisoned. She was branded a traitor and a murderer. And Amanda was free, weaving her web of lies.
Hours crawled by. Night fell. The hospital corridor outside her door was quiet now, only the low murmur of guards remained. Jessica sat in the dark, hugging her knees, tears long since dried, replaced by a cold, simmering fury and a gnawing terror for Sebastian. Was he still alive? Had the poison…?
The lock on her door clicked softly. It opened just enough for a shadow to slip inside. Ghost. He moved like smoke, closing the door silently behind him. His face was grim in the dim light filtering under the door.
"Miss Jessica," he whispered, his voice barely audible. "We don't have much time."
Her heart leaped into her throat. "Ghost? Sebastian? Is he—"
"Alive. But in a coma. Critical." Ghost’s words were clipped. "They’re setting you up. Amanda’s playing them all. William… he’s blinded by anger and fear for the Boss. Others are listening to her whispers."
"Ghost, I swear, I didn't—"
"I know," he interrupted, his dark eyes holding hers with unnerving intensity. "The Boss trusts you. That’s enough for me. But you can't stay here. They'll kill you before morning, or hand you to Amanda. And your family… they’re not safe either."
"What do I do?" Jessica whispered, desperation clawing at her.
"We get you out. Now." Ghost pulled a dark hoodie and a pair of nondescript trousers from a small bag. "Put these on. Quickly. We go out the service elevator, through the basement. I have a car."
"But my family! Sebastian!"
"I can't get to your family yet. Too guarded. But alive, free, you have a chance to clear your name, to find the real traitor, to help the Boss," Ghost insisted, urgency hardening his voice. "Staying is death. For you, and eventually, for them. Come on!"
Driven by terror and a fierce spark of hope ignited by Ghost’s loyalty, Jessica scrambled into the clothes. Ghost guided her silently past the guard he’d discreetly incapacitated, through deserted corridors and down service stairs. The humid night air of Lagos hit her face as they slipped out a loading dock door. A battered, unremarkable sedan idled in the shadows. Ghost shoved her into the passenger seat, slammed the door, and peeled away into the chaotic Lagos night.
Jessica stared out the window, the city lights blurring through fresh tears. Sebastian was in a coma. Her family were prisoners. The man she loved might never know she was innocent. Amanda had framed her perfectly. And somewhere, hidden among the men Scar trusted most, was a traitor who had poisoned him and nearly destroyed everything.
Ghost navigated the streets with tense precision. "Where are we going?" Jessica asked, her voice small.
"Somewhere safe. Off-grid," Ghost replied, his eyes scanning the mirrors. "We need to disappear. And we need to find out who did this. Before it's too late for everyone."
The car sped into the darkness, carrying Jessica away from the hospital, away from Sebastian’s side, away from everything she loved. She was a fugitive, branded a murderer, hunted by her lover’s men, and stalked by his vengeful ex. Her only ally was a shadow named Ghost. The fight for their lives, for their love, and for the truth had just begun, and it was a fight Jessica had to win from the shadows. The question wasn't just *who* poisoned Scar, but *who* would believe her innocence when even the man she loved was lost in a silent, poisoned sleep?
TO BE CONTINUED..

THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS
PART 12
The cool, damp air of the midnight garden offered little solace. Jessica paced the manicured paths, the scent of night-blooming jasmine heavy and cloying, failing to mask the bitter taste of humiliation and confusion that lingered from Amanda’s assault and the terrifying confrontation. She’d run from the gun, from Amanda’s venom, from Scar’s terrifying, lethal rage – even though it had been wielded in her defense. The image of him, cold and absolute with the pistol aimed at Amanda’s head, was seared into her mind. It wasn’t fear *of* him, but fear *for* him, for the darkness that Amanda could provoke.
She finally returned to the penthouse, the silence now thick with unspoken aftershocks. Pushing open her bedroom door, she found him immediately. Not waiting, not pacing, but kneeling beside her bed, his broad shoulders slumped, his head bowed. In the dim light from the hallway, he looked not like the feared kingpin, but like a man utterly broken. He didn’t look up as she entered, but his posture spoke volumes – a silent plea for forgiveness, an embodiment of the guilt and anguish he’d voiced earlier.
"Jessica," his voice was a raw scrape in the quiet. "Please…"
She stood frozen for a moment, the sight twisting her heart. The part of her that still ached from Amanda’s words, that felt bruised by the secrets, warred fiercely with the overwhelming love and empathy she felt seeing him like this. He had chosen her. He had defended her with terrifying ferocity. Yet, the emotional storm inside her was still raging. She needed space to breathe, to process, to quiet the echoes of "gutter rat" and the crack of the gun.
"Scar," she whispered, her voice trembling. "I… I need some time. Please. Just… give me some space tonight."
He flinched as if struck. Slowly, agonizingly slowly, he raised his head. His eyes, usually so commanding, were pools of raw pain and utter defeat. He searched her face, finding no anger, only a profound exhaustion and a plea for distance. He swallowed hard, the sound loud in the stillness. Without a word, he pushed himself up from his knees. He didn’t touch her. He didn’t argue. He simply bowed his head again, a gesture of absolute surrender, and walked silently out of the room, closing the door with a soft, final click. The sound echoed Jessica’s loneliness.
***
The next morning, Amanda was gone. Vanished. Like a poisonous mist dispersed by the dawn. William confirmed it tersely; she’d been escorted to the airport before sunrise, under firm instructions and the lingering threat of Scar’s promise. The penthouse felt emptier, cleaner, yet the tension didn’t dissipate. It shifted, solidified into something colder: Scar’s absence.
For two weeks, he became a ghost in his own home. He skipped breakfast, leaving before Jessica rose. Dinner was taken in his study, the door firmly closed. He returned late, often well past midnight, slipping silently into his own room. When their paths did cross – Jessica heading to her study nook, Scar striding down a hallway – he would freeze for a fraction of a second, his expression shuttering instantly into an impenetrable mask, then he would turn and walk the other way. The warmth, the possessiveness, the easy intimacy – all gone, replaced by a chilling, deliberate distance.
Jessica felt the void like a physical ache. The luxurious penthouse became a gilded cage of silence. Her studies felt hollow. She replayed the scene in her bedroom that night – his kneeling form, the utter defeat in his eyes, her own request for space. *Was I too harsh? * The question gnawed at her. He had faced down his past, his dangerous ex-fiancée, for *her*. He had chosen her publicly, violently, irrevocably. And how had she repaid him? By pushing him away when he was most vulnerable, when he came offering his shattered heart.
Guilt, sharp and corrosive, joined the loneliness. She remembered his whispered confessions of love, the way he’d clung to her after Amanda’s arrival, the desperation in his pleas outside her locked door. He had fought for her, bled for her emotionally, and she had turned him away. *I went too far in my hurt, * she realized with a sickening jolt. *He gave me everything, defended me against everything, and I pushed him into this cold exile.*
The resolve solidified within her. She couldn’t let this stand. She had to fix it. She *needed* to fix it.
***
The day she decided to bridge the chasm stretched endlessly. Jessica was a bundle of nervous energy. She paced, she tried to read, she stared out the window, her mind racing with scenarios. Would he reject her? Would the wall he’d built be too high? Was the damage irreparable? Anxiety twisted her stomach into knots. By the time the familiar sound of the penthouse door announced his return at 11 PM, her heart was pounding against her ribs like a trapped bird.
She heard his footsteps, heavy with fatigue, move down the hall towards his room. The click of his door closing was like a starter pistol. Taking a deep, steadying breath that did little to calm her nerves, Jessica slipped out of her room. The hallway felt vast and intimidating. She stopped outside his door, her hand trembling slightly as she raised it. She knocked – a soft, tentative sound.
No answer.
Gathering every ounce of courage, she gently turned the handle. The door wasn’t locked. She pushed it open just enough to slip inside, closing it softly behind her.
The room was dimly lit by a single bedside lamp. The air held the faint, clean scent of his cologne. And then she saw him.
He stood framed in the open doorway of the en-suite bathroom, bathed in the brighter light spilling from within. A white towel was slung low around his hips. Water droplets glistened on his shoulders, tracing paths down the powerful contours of his chest, over the defined ridges of his abdomen, catching the light on his dark skin. He was a vision of raw, masculine beauty – tall, perfectly sculpted, water-darkened curls clinging to his forehead. He looked like a figure from a myth; a god carved from night and strength.
He had frozen mid-motion, a second towel in his hands paused over his damp hair. His eyes, dark and unreadable, locked onto hers. Shock, then a flicker of something guarded and wary, passed across his face before it settled into careful neutrality. He didn’t speak. He simply watched her, waiting.
Jessica’s breath caught. Shyness and confusion warred with the overwhelming surge of love and longing that seeing him like this ignited. Words tangled in her throat. How could she start? How could she bridge the weeks of silence?
The sight of him, the sheer magnetism, the vulnerability she sensed beneath his guarded stance, broke her hesitation. Without a word, she crossed the room in quick, determined strides. Before he could react, before he could retreat behind his walls, she threw her arms around his waist, pressing her cheek against the cool, damp skin of his chest. She held on tightly, as if anchoring herself to him.
For a heartbeat, he remained rigid. Then, a shuddering breath escaped him. His arms came around her, slowly at first, then crushing her to him with a force that spoke of weeks of pent-up longing and relief. The towel fell from his hands, forgotten. He buried his face in her hair, his breath warm against her scalp. "Jessica," he breathed, her name a ragged prayer.
The dam broke. All the distance, the coldness, the aching loneliness evaporated in the heat of their reunion. They came together not just with passion, but with a profound, desperate hunger, like two halves finally made whole after a cruel separation. It wasn't just physical; it was a fierce reclaiming; a deep communion of souls starved for connection. They devoured each other with kisses that tasted of salt tears and unspoken apologies, with touches that mapped familiar territory with new reverence. Scar worshipped her body with a slowness that bordered on agony, relearning every curve, every sigh, every sensitive point, as if imprinting her on his soul anew. Jessica met him with equal fervor, her own hands exploring the powerful planes of his back, his shoulders, tangling in his damp curls, pulling him closer, deeper. Time lost meaning. The world outside ceased to exist. There was only the slide of skin on skin, the gasps and whispered pleas, the overwhelming sensation of being utterly consumed and cherished. It was love-making as healing, as desperate affirmation, as a vow renewed in the most primal language.
Later, tangled in the sweat-slicked sheets, limbs entwined, Scar stirred. He brushed a strand of hair from her forehead, his eyes dark with emotion. "Jessica, about before… I need to tell you… I’m so sorry I didn’t—"
She silenced him not with words, but by placing her fingers gently on his lips. Then, she replaced them with her own, kissing him with a tenderness that held the weight of her own regret and forgiveness. "Shhh," she murmured against his lips, her voice husky with spent passion and deep affection. "No more apologies. Not tonight." She traced his jaw, her eyes holding his, luminous in the dim light. "Just… make love to me again, Sebastian. I’ve missed you… missed *this*… so much."
He needed no further invitation. The hunger, momentarily sated, flared anew, deeper, sweeter this time. They moved together in a slow, sensual rhythm, a dance of reconnection, of promises whispered through touch, of wounds beginning to knit closed in the shared heat of their bodies. It was tender, passionate, a reaffirmation of the bond Amanda had tried, and failed, to break.
Exhausted, sated, wrapped in the profound peace that follows the storm, they finally drifted towards sleep. Scar held her tightly against him, her back to his chest, his face buried in the curve of her neck, his arms locked securely around her waist. Jessica nestled into his embrace, her hand resting over his where it lay protectively on her stomach. The silence now was warm, comforting, filled only with the sound of their synchronized breathing. The distance was closed. The sanctuary, though scarred, was reclaimed. They slept, entwined, the shadows of the past two weeks finally banished by the undeniable force of their love.
TO BE CONTINUED...

To everyone who is going through something right now:
This is a reminder to you that I am one of those who are willing to listen to your story without any judgement or invalidating it. I do not know what you are going through right now, and I do not know how to make you feel better. But I want you to know that I am willing to sit with you somewhere, and we can talk about what you feel until your chest no longer feels heavy. You can share your pain with me, and I will do my best to understand you. But if ever I fail to understand, I hope you know that I will still listen to you untiringly because I know that you deserve to be heard. You deserve to express all those feelings that you've been keeping deep in your heart for a very long time. And no matter how heavy those feelings are, I want you to know that they are important.
To you who are suffering silently right now and who are trying their best to survive every day, I want you to keep going. I want you to know that things will get better if you do not give up on yourself. No matter how long it takes, you will eventually find peace and happiness again. I hope you hold on to every little hope that you still have in your prayers. I hope that the universe will be kinder to you so that you will finally learn to live without thinking about giving up. I hope you heal from all the things that you are going through right now. I hope that no matter how painful and sad your situation is, you will still have the courage to live. I want you to know that I am rooting for your healing. I hope you meet a lot of people who will make your life more bearable, and I hope that you will also learn to appreciate yourself in every way you can. No matter what you are going through right now, I hope you will still continue to try, to love, and to live over and over again.

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: WEDNESDAY 18TH JUNE 2025

THEME:
*QUICK UNDERSTANDING*

MEMORIZE
Isaiah 11:3
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:

READ
Isaiah 11:1-9
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:
But with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked.
And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins.
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them.
And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice' den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Quick understanding leads to a life of precision, distinction, and bliss.*

MESSAGE
The Lord Jesus Christ had the Spirit without measures upon His life and functioned from the cumulative power of the various dimensions of the Spirit of the LORD upon His life.

The result was that He was quick in understanding the fear of God. He was super fast in discerning and understanding the mind of the LORD in everything.

His mind was divinely empowered to pick the slightest signal from God's mind. He always knew what to do according to the scriptures, hence; He was totally pleasing unto the Father.

Today's text shows the cumulative effects of the Lord Jesus working with quick understanding; it says that
"They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea." (Isaiah 11:9)

That's what happens when we operate with quick understanding in the fear of the LORD. We will be functioning in precision and in distinction. As a result, we will enjoy a life of bliss here on earth.

Unfortunately, the whole world, according to the scriptures, is under a heavy spell of darkness, thereby making people grope in darkness. As a result, people struggle with confusion and frustration.

Where there is darkness, there will be confusion, anarchy, and chaos.

All the calamities and chaos in today's world are caused by darkness because people are not able to see things in their proper perspectives.

Things are cloudy, turbid, and nebulose; therefore, wrong choices and decisions are being made continually, leading to so many crises and problems in the world.

However, we can change the narrative as we intentionally walk with the Lord Jesus Christ by the help of the Holy Spirit like He did while He was here on earth.

*He was full of the Spirit of the LORD and functioned in excellence.*

One of these days, He will return in His power and great glory, and He will take over the governance of the whole world, and the whole earth will experience perfect peace for one thousand years.

In the interim, you can ask the Lord Jesus Christ to help you function like He did on the earth; because the Bible tells us that we are like Him here on earth even as He is in heaven.

One day, the Lord Jesus Christ reprimanded two of His disciples for being slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken. When He later on appeared to the twelve, the Bible tells us this;
Luke 24:45 "Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,"

This implies that they were "slow of heart to believe" because they were not functioning in "quick understanding."

Much more than ever, we need the Lord Jesus Christ to open our understanding and make us of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD.

Make this your passionate prayers today and always.

Shalom, maranatha!

Watching and waiting, looking above,
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love.
