*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: MONDAY 14TH JULY 2025

THEME: *BREAKING THE SPELL OF DARKNESS*

MEMORIZE
John 8:12
Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.

READ
Matthew 4:15-17
The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
*There can be no genuine progress where darkness reigns.*

MESSAGE
Darkness has the power to cast spells on people. Every wrong step you have taken in life was masterminded by the spells of darkness.

Every wrong choice you made in the past was guided from the spell of darkness casted upon you directly or indirectly.

*The spell of darkness is the spell of death. Until men are blinded by darkness, they are not death doomed.*

It is the spell of darkness that makes men call evil good and good evil. They would rather believe in lies instead of the truth.

Individuals who are under the spell of darkness may never know the danger of sin and evil until they are neck deep into it.

Satan had to depend on the spell of darkness to deceive Eve. Eve also transmitted to the same spell on Adam hence the later could not discern the danger of eating of the forbidden fruit nor did he have the power to resist the pull of evil associated with the strange tree of conflicting knowledge in the garden.

*Your breakthroughs in life are delayed by the spells of darkness around you.*

*Until you break the spells of darkness over your life, your breakthroughs may continue to linger.*

There can be no genuine progress where darkness reigns. Our first major responsibility in life is to be so lighted by God's word that we break the spell of darkness everywhere we find ourselves.

*The only weapon for dislodging darkness and its forces is the light from God's word.*

The Bible says in;
Psalms 119:130 "The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple."

*Therefore, when the Lord Jesus began His ministry, He began by teaching and preaching the word because the revelation of the word is the only power that can successfully and completely break the spell of darkness.*

ACTION STEPS
1. Ask the Holy Spirit to saturate your life with His light always.
2. Pray fervently that every hidden works of dishonesty in and around your life be exposed and rebuked.
3. Ask the Lord to fill your heart with genuine love for the truth always.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Oh God of restoration, keep me away from every error and deceit and help me to stay in your Light in Jesus' name. Amen.

REMEMBER
*There can be no genuine progress where darkness reigns.*

“My Money is My Money, But His Money is Our Money?”

A Danger0us Mindset in Marriage


Ladies, let's talk.
That line might sound funny on social media, but in real life, it’s one of the quickest ways to break trust, fuel resentment, and hinder progress in your marriage.

As a marriage counselor, let me help you reset your mindset and set your marriage up for success.

1. Marriage is a Covenant, Not a Competition

Once you say "I do," you are no longer two individuals — you are one team.

That means resources, time, energy, and money should no longer be viewed as “mine vs. yours” but ours.

2. Your Money is Family Money

Whether the husband earns it or the wife does, it belongs to the home, not to one person.

Money should be pooled together to meet family needs, pursue shared goals, and build legacy.

Teamwork in finances equals peace in the home.

3. Stop Misusing 1 Timothy 5

Many wrongly use 1 Timothy 5:8 to say men must be sole providers. But context matters!

That chapter talks about supporting widows, not setting financial roles in marriage.

Verse 16 even says: “If any man or woman has widows... let them relieve them...”

Conclusion: Provision isn’t gender-specific — it’s about responsibility, not roles.

4. Scripture Over Culture

Culture may say “only the man must provide”, but the Bible never says the man must be the sole provider.

Proverbs 31 paints a picture of a resourceful, industrious woman involved in:

Agriculture

Trading and exporting

Fashion and textiles

Charity work

She was married and still actively contributed financially.

5. Marriage is a Financial Partnership

You and your spouse should:

Set shared financial goals

Create a joint budget

Discuss big purchases

Sacrifice for one another when needed

Sometimes, the wife will delay her wants so her husband can meet a need, and vice versa.
This is not weakness — this is love and wisdom.

6. Ladies, Adjust Your Mindset

Stop seeing yourself as a financial observer.
You are not a guest in your marriage — you are a co-builder.

“I’m just helping him”
“We’re building this life together”

God did not create Eve to be idle — He created her to be a helper suitable. That includes emotional, spiritual, and financial help.

7. Be a Woman of Value, Not Just Expense

You can be wealthy. You can provide.
You can start a business, own property, fund dreams, sponsor others, and bless your home.

You are not just a helpmate — you are a force for financial progress.

🙏🏾 Final Word:

Marriage thrives where selfishness d!es.
Drop the “my money vs. his money” mindset.

Pick up the “our home, our wealth, our future” mindset.

God is for your marriage, and you will not fail in Jesus’ name.

Share this with every married couple and young woman you know.

The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters.
Psalm 23:1-2 | NIV |

And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19 | NIV |

For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11 | NIV |

“But blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord,
whose confidence is in him.
They will be like a tree planted by the water
that sends out its roots by the stream.
It does not fear when heat comes;
its leaves are always green.
It has no worries in a year of drought
and never fails to bear fruit.”
Jeremiah 17:7-8 | NIV |

" Don't tell me you are suspecting me ? Do you think I took your money? " Olamma asked with a teary voice.

" Who is calling you on phone by this time of the night? Pick up the phone now " Femi said in an angry tone ignoring the question Olamma had asked.

Olamma's hand was shaking in fear. She picked up the call and put it on speaker.

" Hello Ola " a female voice said over the phone.

" Hello, Mirable "

" Babe, how far nah " the female voice asked.

All the anger boiling within Femi died down. He felt confused and didn't even know what to think anymore.

" Let me talk to you later, Mimi " Olamma said and hung up the call. She started shedding tears. Femi tried to touch her and she asked him to leave her alone. Femi looked at Olamma for a while and then walked out of her room.

Olamma wiped her tears immediately. She was scared that Femi had caught her. But her friend had come to the rescue. She had told Mirable that she was going to gist her that night but had forgotten to call her. As Olamma was still breathing her air of freedom, her phone beeped. It was a message from Fred.

He told her he didn't call back because he felt her husband was around which made her hang up abruptly.

Olamma was so happy with Fred for being so smart. She thanked him and promised to see him the next day to give him exactly what he wanted the way he wanted it.

Femi sat on his bed thinking of what he was going to do next. If Olamma didn't take the money as he had suspected earlier, does it mean that Odera changed overnight and stole his money?. The more Femi thought about it, the more he got confused. He picked his phone and tried Odera's number and it was still switched off.

The next morning, Femi woke up early. He made up his mind to look for his wife and know why she left with his money. He had dressed up and was about to leave the house when Olamma stopped him.

" Babe, I know you are angry at Odera for t
