*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.*

*Golden Rules for a Happy Marriage – Built to Last, Grow, and Inspire*

1. *Talk Every Day* – Talk about everything and anything. True connection comes from open, daily conversations. Silence creates distance, but communication builds intimacy.

2. *Fight the Problem, Not Each Other* – You are on the same team. Disagreements are natural—just don’t let them make you enemies. Focus on finding solutions, not blame.

3. *Keep No Secrets* – Honesty isn’t just about truth; it’s about trust, safety, and unity. Transparency keeps hearts connected.

4. *Give More Than You Take* – Love isn’t a transaction, it’s a daily choice to serve, care, and uplift—without keeping score.

5. *Appreciate Loudly, Criticize Softly* – Praise in public, correct in private. Let your words be seeds of love, not wounds of regret.

6. *Don’t Let Ego Win* – Pride kills connection. Be quick to say “I’m sorry,” and even quicker to forgive. Humility saves what pride destroys.

7. *Touch Often* – A simple touch can say, “I’m here,” “I care,” “I choose you.” Never underestimate the power of physical closeness.

8. *Protect Each Other’s Dignity in Public* – Be their safe space. Defend their name, honor their presence. Loyalty is louder than words.

9. *Share Goals, Money, and Dreams* – You’re not just coexisting—you’re co-creating a life. Build together, plan together, dream together.

10. *Choose Love Daily* – Love isn’t just a feeling—it’s a decision. Choose your partner again and again, even on the hard days. That’s where real love grows.

A great marriage isn’t found—it’s built, moment by moment, heart by heart.

DONT BUY LAND IF U DONT HAVE EXTRA MONEY FOR THE FOLLOWING

You’ve paid, collected documents, even snapped picture on the land. Now what?

1. Do a Deed of Assignment – It transfers ownership to you legally. Don't skip it.

2. Register your land – At the Land Registry. If it’s not registered, the law may not protect you.

3. Get your own survey done – Even if the seller shows you theirs. Be sure what you paid for.

4. Fence it, or at least mark it – That bush is someone else’s goldmine if left open.

5. Keep all your documents safe – Scan copies and keep originals secure. No go dey look for "photocopy" in 10 years.

Buy land like a future landlord, not a learner.

INFACT, SOMETHING MORE THAN GOLD THE WORD OF GOD IN THE HEART OF MAN IS MORE THAN GOLD AND SILVER

I’m so excited about Viktor Gyökeres joining Arsenal not because I naively believe one striker guarantees trophies, but because I understand what’s been missing.

For the last 3 seasons, the only real difference between Arsenal and City / Liverpool has been shambolic officiating and cheatcodes up front. Salah and Haaland didn’t just play; they decided titles. They walked away with Golden Boots while we held Golden Gloves.

We’ve been defending like champions. But in attack? We’ve relied heavily on Saka and hoped the rest show up. That’s not enough.

With Gyökeres, we finally get a ruthless 9 who thrives on half-chances. And with the amount of chances we create? This is the signing that could take us very close to both the Premier League and the Champions League.

This is exactly why I didn’t want a "project" like Sesko. I wanted someone ready-made, someone who hits the ground running not someone we’re still "developing" in crunch time.

I was also disappointed with Partey leaving. You don’t just tinker with a midfield like you’re switching sim cards , it takes years to build that chemistry. But overall, I’m confident we’re going in stronger next season.

Give us two more attackers, and this Arsenal team is cooking something special.
Come on you Gunners

Good morning Happy new weak to us , God will help us to gain more strength to achieve our gold in peace and joy ,we shall not cry and there shall not be any lost among us
