*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: THURSDAY 5TH JUNE 2025

THEME: *WALKING WITH GOD* (PART ONE)

MEMORIZE
Genesis 5:24
"And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."

READ
Hebrews 11:1-2, 4-10
Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
For by it the elders obtained a good report.
By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh.
By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.
But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.
By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went.
By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise:
For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*You don’t yet have any serious and reliable relationship if you don't know the LORD*

MESSAGE
The best relationship that anyone can have is with the Lord. He is the best companion to keep through life and in the after life.

We came from Him, and we must all return to Him at the end of the day whether we like it or not.

He made us and knows everything about us. And for every single individual, He has a predestined purpose. There is therefore no better relationship we can possibly have than with Him.

It is an absurdity to think of living and making it through life without the one who sent you here. I also think it is crazy to think of leaving this world without His guide and approval on the life you have lived. So where do you go from here? Have you thought of an eternity without the author of eternity?
So many reasons stare us in the face of why a lifetime of walking with God is not an option for anyone.

However, walking with God is a matter of faith, because we are dealing with a very holy God that our fallen human eyes cannot see.

Hence the need to depend on the inner eyes of our spirits which runs and operates strictly by faith.

The Bible speaking of this said in:
2 Corinthians 5:7
(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

And according to our text today, all the elders in the Bible walked with God by faith.

We have to live one day at a time totally depending and trusting in the word of God as the only authentic medium of communication with Him.

In medieval times, Bible elders obtained a good report by depending on what God told them in their walk with Him, they weren't seeing Him either because He is a Spirit: but He sends His word to them periodically to guide them into His plans. And to trust this for guidance is faith in its absoluteness.

PLEASE NOTE
*You don't yet have any serious and reliable relationship if you don't know the Lord.*

The Bible says in:
Acts 17:28
For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior told us expressly in the book of John that we can do nothing without Him.

Start a lifetime walk with the Lord today if you haven't yet. And if you have, please deepen your walk with God by depending more on His word.

Shalom, maranatha!

ACTION STEPS
1. Get into a personal relationship with the Lord today.
2. Increase your word intake.
3. Always make out time to be alone with God.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, thank you for today's devotional guide. Oh God of restoration, help me to always see my need of you in my life all through life in Jesus name.

REMEMBER
*You don't yet have any serious and reliable relationship if you don't know the Lord.*

AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID

DAILY READING: 2Samuel 7-8; Ezekiel 19-20; John 3-4; 2Timothy 1; Revelation 10.

HYMN
There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus,

There's not a friend like the lowly Jesus,
No, not one ! no, not one !

No friend like Him is so high and holy,
No, not one ! no, not one !
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,
No, not one ! no, not one !

There's not an hour that He is not near us,
No, not one ! no, not one !
No night so dark but His love can cheer us,
No, not one ! no, not one !

No, not one ! no, not one !
Or sinner find that He would not take him ?
No, not one ! no, not one !

Was e'er a gift like the Saviour given ?
No, not one ! no, not one !
Will He refuse us a home in heaven ?
No, not one ! no, not one !

My Ex Used My Nude Photos in Court to Shame Me Into Giving Up Custody
Episode 1

The courtroom smelled like polished wood, cold air, and judgment. I sat there, numb, heart pounding as my lawyer whispered strategy into my ear—but it all sounded like static. Across the aisle sat the man I once loved, the man I shared a home, a bed, and a child with—Seyi. Three years ago, I left him because I found a voice I didn’t know I had, because the bruises on my body weren’t just from fists but from silence, from a marriage that wore me thin until I barely existed. I took our daughter—our sweet, bubbly three-year-old Mide—and left. I stayed silent. I didn’t drag his name. I didn’t tell the world what he did. I just left. For peace. For safety. For healing. But peace doesn’t last when you leave behind a man like Seyi—he doesn’t accept silence as survival, only as betrayal. And now he was here, suing me for full custody, claiming I was unstable, reckless, “morally unfit to parent a girl.” And then he did the unthinkable. He submitted Exhibit C. A flash drive. The judge raised an eyebrow. Seyi’s lawyer—a smug, sharp-tongued woman in designer heels—walked to the front and calmly plugged it in. “Your Honor,” she said, “this is a crucial element of our argument regarding Ms. Adaobi’s moral fitness.” And then the screen came to life. My breath caught. My soul left my body. My naked body, taken in secret—photos I sent Seyi when we were newly married. When I still trusted him. When love meant openness. They appeared one by one on the courtroom screen. I covered my mouth. My lawyer jumped up, objecting furiously. But it was too late. The judge had seen. The jury had seen. My parents had seen. Even the court clerk looked away in pity. My knees buckled. I fell back into the chair. My ears rang. “This is revenge,” my lawyer barked. “This is a violation of privacy. Those images have no relevance—” “On the contrary,” Seyi’s lawyer cut in. “They show recklessness, sexual irresponsibility, and the kind of decisions that should concern anyone responsible for a child’s development.” “They were married!” my lawyer shouted. “Consensual! This is illegal revenge porn!” But the judge only cleared his throat. “Enough. I’ve seen enough. Ms. Adaobi, do you have anything to say for yourself?” I turned my face toward him slowly, tears streaming down my cheeks. “I trusted him,” I said softly. “I loved him. Those were private. That was my husband.” The judge said nothing. And I knew, in that moment, I had lost. Seyi never looked at me. He kept his gaze forward, as if he hadn’t just exposed my body to strangers in the name of “concern.” That night, I cried until I vomited. My mother held my hair back, her own tears silent and angry. “He will not win,” she said. But I knew better. Men like Seyi didn’t fight fair. They fought to humiliate. To destroy. To erase. The next hearing was worse. Seyi’s team introduced character witnesses—his new wife, his pastor, even one of my old friends who he had obviously bribed. They all painted me as unstable, seductive, a party girl. They spoke about photos he claimed he “found on my phone,” said I had “multiple lovers,” and I sat there, trembling, unable to breathe, watching the court believe him. I tried to speak. I told the truth. I said he hit me. I said I left because I feared for Mide’s safety. But I had no hospital records, no police reports—because I had been too ashamed to file them. And shame doesn’t win custody cases. Evidence does. And Seyi had twisted mine into a noose. Two days later, I got the judgment. Joint custody. Shared rights. Mandatory visitations. But there was more. The judge had also recommended I seek counseling before resuming full-time parental duties. I had to “rebuild my moral integrity in the eyes of the court.” In other words, I was being punished for being a woman who once loved a man enough to trust him with her body. And now he used that love to make me look like filth. I hugged Mide that evening as she slept, breathing her in like she might disappear. She was still mine, but I no longer felt like her mother. I felt like a prisoner with limited visitation rights. I thought the worst was over. But then I found out what Seyi did next. He leaked the photos to a parenting blog. My face blurred. My body exposed. The caption read: “This woman fought for custody. Would you trust your child with her?” My phone rang nonstop. My job issued a warning. My landlord gave me notice. And somewhere, in a mansion paid for by my pain, my ex smiled—and slept soundly beside a woman he would destroy next.

To be continued.:.:

Regina, you’re like a child to me. You grew up in my presence. I remember when you and your mother used to come to my house — small, respectful girl. I watched you grow, and I honestly thought you had sense… that you’d marry someone close to your age. But no, greed carried you far.

Private jets, designer bags, flying around the world — all for a lifestyle you could’ve worked for yourself. Instead, you married a man old enough to be your great-grandfather, all because you wanted luxury overnight. My dear, that’s not success. That’s shortcut.

You think because you now have some fame and money, you can open your mouth and talk to me anyhow? When I talk, you should be listening. I’m the woman you wish to be — I built myself, no shortcuts, no sugar-coated help. Everything I have today, I earned it with my sweat.

Don’t get it twisted — I won’t trade words with you again. I know you just want to trend. You and your husband have been quiet for a while, and this is your way of reminding Nigerians that you still exist. But me? I don't need stunts. My name speaks for itself.

And please, don’t mistake marriage for maturity. If you insult me again, I’ll remind you of everything you’ve tried to sweep under the rug.

This is your final warning. Don’t cross that line again."- Angela okorie fires back at Regina Daniels after she called her mad.

SIGNS THAT HE WILL MAKE A GOOD HUSBAND:

1. "HE HAS A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS ADMIRABLE DAD"

If his dad is a good husband and father and he looks up to his dad, chances are he will be like his dad

2. "HE SEPARATES HIMSELF FROM BAD EXAMPLES"

If his father was absent in his life or his father did things he is ashamed of, he grows up forgiving his dad, respecting his dad but also not wanting to be like his dad

3. "HE MENTORS AND TEACHES MEN YOUNGER THAN HIM"

A man who mentors others pushes himself to always be a good example

4. "HE IS NOT SWAYED BY PUBLIC PRESSURE"

In marriage, many men mess up their families because of following trends, pressure to please friends or wanting to project a certain image to fit in society

5. "HIS CLOSE MALE FRIENDS ARE OF GOOD REPUTE"

Look at the company he keeps close; that will indicate the caliber of man he is

6. "HE TREATS EVERY WOMAN WITH RESPECT"

Be suspicious of a man who treats his woman well but treats other women like crap; soon, he will treat his woman like crap

7. "HE IS GOOD WITH CHILDREN EVEN THOSE NOT HIS"

How he values and is responsible with other people's children prepares himself to value his own

8. "HE IS PROTECTIVE OF HIS NAME"

A man who upholds his name will keep a good character, after all, the wife and children will carry his name

9. "MARRIAGE IS HIS IDEA TOO"

Many men are forced into marriage, either because the woman got pregnant or the woman pressured him to propose to her after they dated for so long. Is it his idea to marry you lady, or is it only yours? A man who willfully pursues a woman to marry her and is the one excited about marriage will almost certainly make sure he lives up to being a good husband. Where a man takes himself he performs well and gives his all

10. "HE LIVED AN HONOURABLE LIFE AS A SINGLE MAN"

A single man who lives in a manner that shows he is keeping and preparing himself for that one special woman will make a good husband. To him, being a husband is a big deal

11. "HE TREATS THE LADY WELL AS THEY DATE"

A man who acts like a faithful husband even before he marries the woman will make a good husband. But if he is insulting her, cheating on her, rejecting her and taking her for granted when they are dating; he will most likely insult her, cheat on her, reject her and take her for granted when married

12. "HE TREATS HIS MOTHER WITH LOVE AND RESPECT”

A man who appreciates his mother will appreciate his wife

13. "HE LOVES GOD"

Marriage is God's idea. A man who wants to engage in this idea led by the Creator of this idea will strive to please God. The more a man loves God, the more he loves his wife

14. "HE SEES THE WOMAN AS AN EQUAL PARTNER"

This kind of man will not dictate or lord over the woman, it will not always be his way, he will consult his wife, learn from her and teach her too

15. "HE IS HER BEST FRIEND"

Lady, if he is not only your lover but your best friend too, he will be a best friend till the end.; best friends are real with each other, honest, loyal, fun, thoughtful. Take away the romance and things that lovers do, are you and him best friends?

16. "HE USES HIS PAST TO LEARN"

Maybe he messed up in his past relationships, or his past relationships taught him alot. If he paid attention to the lessons learned, he will be a wise husband

17. "HE IS DISCIPLINED"

A man who has control over himself will make a good husband. He is not given to addictions. How can a man lead a family, if he cannot lead himself?

May such man be your portion.

God bless you.

*Wednesday Wisdom*

*10 Success and Life Lessons from Billionaire Tyler Perry*
*And Why Achieving Your Dreams Matters Because Other People's Dreams Depend on It*

*Written by Dr. Laide Okubena*

*From Grass to Grace: The Tyler Perry Story*

Tyler Perry’s journey didn’t begin in luxury, influence, or success. It began in pain, poverty, and a broken home. He was born into a household marred by abuse and trauma. As a child, he endured physical and emotional suffering. In fact, he once legally changed his first name from Emmitt to Tyler to distance himself from his abusive father.

But amid the storms, Tyler found healing in writing. He started penning letters to himself, a practice inspired by an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show. Those letters would eventually birth scripts—scripts no one wanted to see at first.

He lived in his car for months. His plays flopped. Critics dismissed him. Audiences ignored him. But he didn’t give up.

Fast forward years later—Tyler Perry built a $250 million film studio in Atlanta, Georgia, on what used to be a Confederate military base. That land, once a symbol of slavery, now hosts stories told by a Black man for the world to see. He is not just a filmmaker; he is a movement. He is a billionaire today, not because of luck, but because of relentless persistence.

*Now, let’s dive into 10 Success and Life Lessons You Can Learn From Tyler Perry:*

*1. Your Past Doesn’t Define Your Future*

Tyler’s abusive childhood didn’t stop him from rising. No matter your background, you can re-write your story—one choice at a time.

*2. Start Small, Dream Big*

His first play, I Know I’ve Been Changed, had just 30 people in the audience—and many were friends he gave free tickets to. Still, he kept going.

*3. Believe in What You’re Building Even When No One Else Does*

When others told him to quit, he reinvested his last savings into another show. That decision changed everything. Faith in your dream must be louder than the noise around you.

*4. Turn Your Pain Into Purpose*

He used his trauma as the foundation of his characters, especially Madea—a tough, hilarious woman shaped from the matriarchs in his life. Your deepest wound can be your greatest well of creativity.

*5. Success is Inevitable When You Refuse to Quit*

Most people quit when it's hard. Tyler Perry kept showing up when it didn’t make sense. That consistency eventually paid off. Winners keep showing up.

*6. Ownership is Power*

*He didn’t wait for Hollywood’s validation.*

He built his own studio. He owns his content. He licenses, not sells. Never beg for a seat at the table—build your own.

*7. Your Dream is Bigger Than You*

Perry said, “While you’re running from your calling, someone is waiting for you to show up.” Your success creates a path for others. Your failure may block them.

*8. Create Jobs, Not Just Wealth*

His Atlanta studio employs hundreds of creatives, giving opportunities to actors, set designers, and crew members who might never get a shot in mainstream Hollywood. Be a channel of value, not just a container of money.

*9. You Are the Brand—Protect It*

Perry is intentional about his image, values, and mission. Your reputation is the most valuable currency in the long game.

*10. Stay Humble, Stay Hungry*

Even after billions, he remains grounded. He still speaks about faith, family, and his humble beginnings. Stay close to your source. The higher you rise, the deeper your roots must be.

*Why Your Success Matters More Than You Think*

Someone is praying for you to succeed. Maybe it’s your children watching your every move… maybe it’s a community, or even a stranger you don’t know yet. Tyler Perry’s breakthrough didn’t just benefit him—it broke generational curses for thousands of others.

Your dream is not selfish—it is sacrificial. Because once you succeed, you make room for others to rise too.

*Practical Tips From Tyler Perry’s Journey*

1.Write down your vision daily. Keep it in front of you.

2.Start with what you have. Don’t wait for perfect conditions.

3.Be consistent. Show up even when it’s hard.

4.Own your narrative. Don’t let others define you. Not Even Your Parents should define you or a Pastor or an Imam or Even a Mentor you look up to , it is God that determines what you can become, not an Human being like you.

5.Turn rejection into redirection.

6.Invest in yourself. Take that course. Learn that skill.

7.Build your audience. Don’t chase popularity—grow impact.

8.Pray or meditate. Stay connected to your center.

9.Save and reinvest. Use profits to expand your dream.

10.Lift others as you climb. Success that doesn't empower others is short-lived.

What dream are you sitting on right now that could transform lives—if only you dared to pursue it?

Write down one bold dream that scares you.

List 3 small actions you can take in the next 24 hours to move closer to it.

*GOSPEL REFLECTION: Rejecting the evil one*
_June 4, 2025_

_“I gave them your word, and the world hated them, because they do not belong to the world any more than I belong to the world. I do not ask that you take them out of the world but that you keep them from the Evil One.” (John 17:14–15)_

Unfortunately, the evil one is real. He is the highest of the fallen angels who retain their natural spiritual power given them at their creation. God created all angelic creatures with the purpose of serving His holy will. The Scripture reveals that there are nine levels or “choirs” to which these angelic creatures belong. Among the fallen angels, the highest of them directs the others, and he is traditionally given the name Lucifer or “the devil.”

One of the natural spiritual powers that these fallen angelic creatures retain is the power of influence and suggestive thought. They were created to be messengers of God’s truth to us; but, in their fallen state, they seek to communicate confusion and lies instead. Therefore, it is very helpful to understand the way the evil one and the other fallen angels communicate to us so that we can reject their lies and listen only to the voice of God.

In his rules for the discernment of spirits, Saint Ignatius of Loyola explains that when a person is going “from mortal sin to mortal sin,” the evil one and the other demons continually propose to their imagination the “apparent pleasures” and “sensual delights” that they obtain from their sin as a way of keeping them firmly controlled by that sin. However, when a person is “intensely cleansing their sins and rising from good to better,” the evil one and the other demons act in a contrary way. They will “bite, sadden and put obstacles, disquieting with false reasons, that one may not go on” in their pursuit of holiness. God and the good angels will act in the opposite way. For those immersed in sin, God and the good angels will use “the opposite method, pricking them and biting their consciences through the process of reason” so as to draw them away from sin. And when a person is, in fact, growing in holiness, God and the good angels will “give courage and strength, consolations, tears, inspirations and quiet, easing, and putting away all obstacles, that one may go on in well doing” (See mycatholic.life/ignatius).

These spiritual lessons on the discernment of spirits are of great value and will assist you on your daily struggle with sin and your daily pursuit of holiness. Understanding the deceptions of the evil one and discerning the promptings of grace given by God bring clarity to our daily lives and direction to all of our actions. The good news that is revealed by the Scripture passage above is that our Lord is fully aware of the working of the evil one, has prayed for you and will assist you as you seek to combat these lies and deceptions in your life.
