MATURITY IS A MINDSET, NOT AGE. HERE ARE 14 SIGNS YOU ARE MATURE :

You are not scared to be alone.

You realize money is not evil. Lack of money is.

You know that you are your worst enemy and you are your best supporter too.

You realize that life's much better when no one knows anything about you.

You don't care what other people think about you anymore.

You stop chasing meaningless relationships and focus on improving yourself.

You focus more on the opportunity of learning than the risk of failure.

You don't stress about things that are out of your control.

You understand that 9-5 won't help you achieve financial freedom.

You understand that you get paid based on the value you are providing.

In the real world, grades aren't the only measure of value. Connections, background, and practical skills often surpass academic performance. While grades may open doors.

You understand that life's much better when you focus on improving yourself rather than partying every weekend.

You realize that in the end only your family and a few true friends will be there for you.

You also realize that in the end, even your family and friends will leave you, only the God remains with you. #moneyupacademy #MoneyUpAcademy

*START YOUR DAY WITH GOD...*

*EMBRACE YOUR NEW IDENTITY*


*2 Corinthians 5:17*
_“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.”_


One of the most powerful expressions of God’s restoration is our identity in Christ. Restoration isn’t just about recovering what was lost—it’s about becoming who you were always meant to be. When you gave your life to Jesus, a divine reset began. Old things passed away—not just actions, but labels, guilt, shame, and condemnation. In their place came a new nature and a new future.

Yet for many believers, the struggle is not in being made new—it’s in living like it. We often carry memories of who we used to be: the mistakes, the disappointments, and the fear that maybe nothing’s really changed. But our opening scripture affirms that in Christ, you are not slightly improved or partially repaired—you are made new. Fully. Completely. Restored.
Stop living beneath what Christ already paid for. You don’t have to earn your place in God’s presence. You don’t have to keep revisiting your past to explain your future. You are not who you were—you are who God says you are.

So today, let the restored you rise. Walk with confidence. Live from a place of freedom. And embrace all that is yours in Christ. Hallelujah!

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: MONDAY 9TH JUNE 2025

THEME: *GO FOR LIGHT*

MEMORISE
John 8:32
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

READ
Proverbs 3:19-24
The LORD by wisdom hath founded the earth; by understanding hath he established the heavens.
By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and the clouds drop down the dew.
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck.
Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.
When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Our might in life is the light that we have acquired from God's Word.*

MESSAGE
The greatest weapon against darkness is light.

Light is older, stronger, sharper, faster, and smarter than darkness because God is Light.

There is no other dominion in the universe that rivals the dominion of light, let alone to contend with light.

As ignorance operates like darkness, so light works like knowledge.

God expects us to seek for the knowledge of His word as the major weapon of dominion over darkness.

Beloved, God does not relate with people who abandon what they should know to chase after material things.

God immediately withdraws Himself from those who show their disinterest for His word by their careless and frivolous attitude towards His Word.

This is why the Bible says in
Hosea 4:6 "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children."

But when people seek and pursue after knowledge and wisdom, God gives them understanding, which is light.
And by sufficient light from God's word, you are a champion any day any time.

*Our might in life is the light that we have acquired from God's word.*

ACTION STEPS
1. Make the word of God your closest companion always.
2. Read to stay lighted enough to live above darkness.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Oh God of restoration, open my eyes and show me your ways through your word, always in Jesus' name. Amen.

REMEMBER
*Our might in life is in the light that we have acquired from God's word.*
