*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: MONDAY 23RD JUNE 2025

THEME: *LOOK UP*

MEMORIZE
Luke 21:28
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

READ
Luke 21:28-36
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.
And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees;
When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.
So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.
Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.
Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.
And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.
For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Watch and pray always and look up because the end is at the door.*

MESSAGE
When everything fails as surely as they will, men will be compelled to look up.

Looking up is the only direction that seems to be making sense in these last days considering the global confusion amongst the nations.

Uncertainty fills the air over the nations of the world; global leaders are confused as to what next to expect.

However, behind the scenes of the global unrest is the mighty hand of God moving the hand of the clock ticking towards the end of all things.

He is moving swiftly to round up His agenda for the nations and by so doing, He is inadvertently compelling all men to look up, because He alone has all the answers that men are looking desperately for.

These are the days that the knowledge of the LORD is the strength of men.

As the strength of strong men begins to fail, only those who know the LORD will stay strong enough to keep moving.
In today's text, the Lord Jesus Christ using the fig tree, illustrated the timeline of His return to the earth. The fig tree is figurative of the nation of Israel which became a nation in 1948, and the Lord said, that the generation that witnessed the restoration of Israel [the fig tree] shall not pass away until the last prophecy of the end is fulfilled.

We are that generation that saw Israel became a nation again, we are seeing prophecies fulfilled at an alarming rates.

Therefore, the warning of the Lord Jesus Christ should be taken more seriously than ever;
Luke 21:36 "Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man."

Beloved, whatever you do and wherever you may be, watch and pray always and look up because the end is at the door...

Most importantly, be sure you have surrendered your life to the Lord Jesus Christ for eternity. Tell everyone that is precious to you that Jesus Christ the King of all kings is coming back.

Turn away from every secret sins, keep yourself pure. keep your relationship with the LORD super tight.

Be prepared to meet the LORD!!!

Shalom, maranatha!

*DEFEATING HOUSEHOLD WICKEDNESS*

*Job 14:1* makes it very clear to us that this world is a world full of trouble. The second name for this world is trouble.
Some start their battles from the womb. Some start as young men and women. Some start at middle age. Some start at old age. The majority of these battles are being fuelled by enemies within.
Job 14:1 (KJV) says, ‘Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.”

The book of John gives the world another name. It says, “The whole world lieth in wickedness.”

That is, there is a big bed on which the whole world is lying, which is *wickedness.*
Wickedness is when you have done nobody harm, offended nobody, yet they are doing you harm. So this Job 14:1 tells us that this is a world of battles.

In the school of warfare, there are sixty categories of battles that men fight. You may be fighting your battles now; you may have started already, but it is good for you that is here to know that the devils that fought your parents will fight you. You may say, “But I am okay now.” No, they are just waiting for you to grow up so that you can be mature enough for them to fight you. So, everybody has a battle to fight.

*There is:*

• a battle called the rage of the wicked. They are raging against you; you do not need to commit any offence.

• the battle of the crying blood. You shed blood, probably through abortions, and the blood is now crying against you.

• the pursuing avenger, where you have done something wrong and the enemy is now pursuing you to avenge it.

• the wicked household.
• the battle called ‘the affliction of the righteous’, from which the Lord said that He will deliver you out of them all. Not the affliction of the sinner.

• the battle for destiny. Sometimes, when the destiny of somebody is announced in heaven, the enemy hears it and fights the person because of the destiny.
• the battle for fulfilment.
• the battle for relevance.
• The battle for wholeness (your health). A lot of people are battling this daily.
• The battle for your staff of bread. The enemy may be attacking your career.
• the battle for promotion. The enemy does not want you to be elevated. He wants to keep you where you are. Let your amen be sevenfold volcanic.

There is the battle:
• to enlarge your coast. For you to expand or enlarge what you are doing is a battle. You started your business from a kiosk or small shop. To now expand it to a bigger shop is a battle.
• against marriage. There is a great battle going on against marriages now, and I want you to understand this very well.
A man of God was flying to South Africa. There was a man beside him in the plane who was mumbling words, and it was as if he was praying. For a long time, he kept mumbling those words like a prayer. So the man of God was happy that a prayer warrior was beside him. When he stopped, the man of God said, “Oh, that is nice! I can see that you were praying here.” The man replied, “Yes”. Then the man of God asked, “What were you praying about?” He then replied that he was actually not praying; he was cursing marriages, especially Christian marriages. There is an attack on marriages.
• that is programmed. It waits for you to get to a level before pulling you down.
• of the yoke with unbelievers. When you want to bless whom God has cursed, you will have problems.
• of conspiracy in the heavenlies.
• of envious enemies. You have not done anything wrong; it is just out of pure envy.
• of vandalised destiny.
• called “Jonah syndrome”, which applies to many here. That is, God is giving you an assignment, but you are dodging it. That kind of battle – no deliverance or man of God can help you; you need to repent and do what God wants you to do.
• against the wasters. They wait for people to gather things and then waste them.
• against the emptiers. They wait for a person’s cup to be full and then empty it.
• against anti-prosperity powers. That is, the person can be alive and can be strong but cannot prosper.
• known as ‘the marine warfare’. As a matter of fact, many people’s benefits are inside the bank in the waters. And this is a very, very serious situation.

There is the:
• battle against children.
• mystery of strongholds.
• battle of closed doors.
• near-success syndrome battle.
• battle called “the embargo”.
• battle of environmental attacks.
• battle with the spirit of death and hell. If you come from a family where people are dying very young, this is the problem.
• battle of Star Hunters.
• battle of collective captivity.
• battle of dream criminals.
• the mystery of seduction.
• the battle of stagnancy.
• the battle of loneliness.
• the battle of territorial bondage.
• the battle of spiritual load upon the head.
• the battle of placental bondage.
• the battle from the palace, for those from royal families.
• character battle.
• ‘fighting the devil that fought your parents’ battle.
• the battle of covenants and curses. Curses have strong power, and this is a very serious matter.
• battle against the strongman.
• battle against attacks from the womb.
• battle of sexual pollution.
• altar attack, if you worship idols in your family.
• battle against polygamous witchcraft.
But then, it is only a counter battle that can deliver from all these.

*PRAYER POINTS:*

1. I plug my life into the resurrection power of the blood of Jesus.

2. Evil bank requesting for my blood; catch fire in the name of Jesus.
3. Every internal chain in my body, breaks, in the name of Jesus.
4. Every instrument of poison in my body, get out, in the name of Jesus.
5. (Pray these three hot times) O God, you are my God: arise, show it, in the name of Jesus.

FEEL like Christ and you will be a Christ; feel like Buddha and you will be a Buddha. It is feeling that is the life, the strength, the vitality, without which no amount of intellectual activity can reach God.

EZEGO OF IHIALA…..KING OF MONEY.

In the 1990s, few names rang out in Nigeria’s pop culture like Ezego—the self-styled “King of Money.” Born Victor Nnamdi Okafor in 1964 in Ihiala, Anambra State, Nigeria

Ezego rose from a troubled youth to become one of the most flamboyant millionaires of his time.

Based in Lagos, he ran the Ezego Shopping Complex, which dealt in electronics and luxury items. His fleet of cars—Limousines, Mercedes Benzes, and Rolls-Royces—lined the streets of Allen Avenue. He was barely in his 30s but lived like a mogul twice his age. Tales of his wealth and generosity spread fast, making him a legend among the youth and a mystery to many.

But Ezego’s rise was as swift as his fall. On 25 December 1999, while driving one of his expensive cars from Lagos to his hometown for Christmas, he lost control of the vehicle near Asaba. He died from injuries later that day.

He was just 35.

His sudden death sparked widespread speculation—some called it karma, others whispered of spiritual retribution. Whatever the truth, Ezego’s life became a cautionary tale of wealth, pride, and mortality.

In the end, the King of Money left behind riches, controversy, and an enduring question: what really lies beneath the shine of sudden wealth?

*"LORD, punish my enemies in that way--- those who say such evil things against me!But my Sovereign LORD, help me as you have promised, and rescue me because of the goodness of your love.*
_Psalm 139:20-21_

Any satanic personality that has taken your name or picture to any evil altar to torment your destiny, your glory, or your family shall be wasted in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Powers assigned to turn back the clock of your life shall fail woefully in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
As this Year is gradually moving forward, everything the enemy has taken away violently and forcefully from you shall be released back unto you without delay in Jesus' Name. In Jesus Mighty Name. Sickness and affliction shall not know your dwelling place this day and beyond, but you shall dwell in good health and wealth of the Lord. The Lord will protect and help, bless and favour you in all your endeavours in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
God will raise men and women of substance to speak in your favour in high places. Every long-lost possession and inheritance shall be restored to you. Every of your little effort will be crown with great success. You will shine as light to all and in every of your endeavours. Your little shall become thousands, your thousands shall become millions and millions uncountable. You are moving from the valley to the mountain top. Heaven will give you a divine encounter that you will never forget for the rest of your life in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Amen

Breakfast words Inspirational:

*No Weapon Shall Prosper Against You*

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the LORD.
Isaiah 54:17

A life that is founded upon the gospel of Jesus Christ is unshakable. When you build your life upon the gospel, you are building on a strong foundation that will give you stability and the power of God for lasting breakthroughs (Rom. 1:16).

You may be going through an extremely difficult season right now. Perhaps you are reading this and you have just received a negative medical report, or maybe you are surrounded by some challenging circumstances at your place of employment. I want to encourage you to say this by faith: “I am too blessed to be stressed.”

Now invite our Lord Jesus into your situation. Involve Him in your area of need. Whether it is a healing, provision, or relationship breakthrough that you need, see and believe that the Lord is with you.

My dear friend, don’t put your trust in your own understanding. Instead, lean wholly on the one Who is more interested in your success than you are. The book of Proverbs tells us, “The name of the Lord is a strong tower; the righteous run to it and are safe” (Prov. 18:10). Run to Him and cast all your cares upon Him for He cares for you.

Speak with me this promise of God found in today’s scripture into your situation right now:
“ ‘No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,’ says the Lord.” Amen and Amen!

Meditate on the last line of this powerful scripture. In the new covenant of grace, your righteousness is from the Lord Jesus Himself. Now, the more you understand your righteousness in Christ, the more you will experience His promise in today’s scripture.

The opposite holds true. When God’s people are not established in their righteous identity in Christ, they become susceptible to the weapons of the enemy. Weapons such as sickness, lack, guilt, condemnation, fear, depression, and all kinds of disorders and addictions.

That is why it is so important to be sure that you are listening to the real gospel. God’s Word proclaims that none of these weapons, even if they have already been formed, shall prevail against you. And every unfounded accusation, every malicious lie, and every false allegation you shall condemn! The enemy doesn’t have a hold over your life. God does, and He holds it together!

Jesus Christ said who ever eat my body and drink my blood will have life in fullness
