*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE* DATE: THURSDAY 12TH JUNE 2025 THEME: *TOTAL RESTORATION* MEMORISE Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. READ Joel 2:23-27 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you. And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed. And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY *God's last vow is to restore all things.* MESSAGE The only thing God is saying in heaven now and doing on earth is the work of restoration. God's last vow is to restore humanity and creation into the original purpose in predestination by the word and the power of the Holy Spirit. He wants your whole spirit, soul, and body totally restored to all round soundness and wholeness before Him. The Bible confirms this in 1 Thessalonians 5:23-24 "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it." He wants creation delivered, healed, and restored to give Him pleasure again as it was before the fall. The Bible says in Revelation 4:11 "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." God will not leave anything out untouched in His vow to restore all things because He is the creator of all things. Now, He who has the power to restore humanity and creation will not find it difficult to restore your health, your family, your finances, or your stolen blessings. This is why Jesus Christ, our Capital restorer came to the earth. His blood is the token for your total restoration. Let your faith in Him rise now, connect with His grace for your own restoration today in Jesus' name. Shalom, maranatha! ACTION STEPS 1. Turn loose your faith and believe God for your own restoration. 2. Present any part of your life needing restoration to the Lord in prayers. PRAYERS Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Oh God of restoration, answer me by fire today and let my total restoration be confirmed with signs and wonders in Jesus' name. Amen. REMEMBER *God's last vow is to restore all things.* AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID DAILY READING: Ezekiel 33-34, Judges 6-7, Acts 6. HYMN Standing on the promises of Christ my King, Through eternal ages let His praises ring ; Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing, Standing on the promises of God. Stand ing, . . stand ing, . . Standing on the promises of God my Saviour ; Stand ing, . . stand ing, . . I'm standing on the promises of God. 2 Standing on the promises that cannot fail, When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail, By the living word of God I shall prevail, Standing on the promises of God. 3 Standing on the promises I now can see ' Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me ; Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free, Standing on the promises of God. 4 Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord, Bound to Him eternally by love's strong cord, Overcoming daily with the Spirit's sword, Standing on the promises of God. 5 Standing on the promises I cannot fall, Listening every moment to the Spirit's call, Resting in my Saviour as my All in all, Standing on the promises of God.

*ALL COUPLES SHOULD BE PATIENT TO READ THIS WRITEUP TO THE END* Susan attended a funeral service of her friend who lost her husband at Langata Cemetery. Susan held her wailing friend strongly as the casket was lowered into the freshly dug grave. Susan's friend was screaming "My husband don't leave me, please, don't leave me!" as people looked on feeling sad for her. The children were screaming too. Losing a father is not an easy thing. If not for Susan, the friend would have thrown herself into the grave to be buried with her husband who died of suicide. Because, the husband found no meaning in life and he killed himself. Susan remembered the many times the friend would say she is tired of her good for nothing husband and here she is screaming and feeling lost because the husband is no more. The friend cried till she fainted. Susan and others there carried the devasted woman to an ambulance for first aid. As Susan watched the spectacle of broken hearts crying for a man who will never ever come back, Susan remembered her husband. Susan remembered how much she takes her husband for granted. How she talks to him however she pleases. How she gives him prolonged silent treatment over issues they can easily resolve. How she denied him sex many times. And she asked herself "What if it my husband that is buried today how would I feel?" Susan thought. Susan remembered that she argued with her husband and he left the house with tension between them just because after all these years, he still leaves his plate in the living room instead of taking it to the sink after eating. "God forbid that my husband die, but what if as my husband went out in anger and never returns and passes on, is this the last memory I would like my husband and I to have?" She thought again. Susan began to remember all the wonderful things her husband has done in the past, which she never taught of before except complaining. Now, in her heart, she began to appreciate him for all his efforts no matter how small it was. At that moment, she realise her areas of improvement, and said to herself "there is no other man I would rather share my life with than my loving husband." She thought of life without him and it scared her. And said, "I would rather have disagreements with my loving husband than to lose him to death. I prefer his sense of humour and laughter than to cry for losing him." That evening, after Susan took her widowed friend to a safe place, she passed by at the supermarket and bought her husband a card saying "Thank you for being in my life" And when she got home, she cooked her husband's favourite meal and asked her children to join her in celebrating her husband. That night, her husband came home expecting a fight from Susan, but instead, he got greeting and hugs from Susan and the children. He was welcomed with songs, dancing and laughter, cute drawings of him with warm messages from the children, a home cooked meal, pleasant conversations. And Susan's husband bust into tears when Susan and the children told him how much they love him and then surrounded him to pray for him. A grown man cried like a baby because of love. He felt needed and he asked them "Is today father's day?" Susan looked into his eyes and said, "No, it is lovers day. Because, everyday is special with you around me from now on, we will do nothing but love each other. I don't know how long we have to live together, but it will not be wasted by fights, misunderstanding, complains and lack of appreciation. In case you have forgotten, "I love you" "I love you too" said Susan's husband as he kissed and hugged Susan, the children dancing and cheering on. Children long for a home where mom and dad give each other warmth. Since then, both Susan and her husband have been a stronger and more loving couple after realizing that tomorrow is not guaranteed. ~ Sometimes the death of someone wakes us up to the reality of life. ~ Don't let the death of your spouse wake you up to the reality of life, it will be too late. ~ God forbid, if your spouse die today, will you regret how you have been treating him/her? ~ Do you think living alone without your spouse will be joyful to you? ~ Will you be able to transfer your children to another man or woman whom they have not grown to know? ~ If you decide to be a single father or mother, will you be able to do the job alone? ~ Can you stand the pain of your kids asking why they don't have a father or mother like others? ~ What is it that you cannot mend in your marriage? ~ No doubt its not easy, but prayerfully love your spouse while he/she lives. It rubs on the children as well. So mend your home, don't destroy it.

UNDERSTANDING ENDOMETRIOSIS One of my patients complained of this terrible period pain. When I asked if she’s seen a doctor, she said it’ll go away once she gives birth. I’m sure some of you have been told the same myth—that pregnancy cures endometriosis. But is that really true? What exactly is endometriosis? Come with me 👇 WHAT IS ENDOMETRIOSIS? Endometriosis is a condition where tissue similar to the endometrial lining grows outside of the uterus. This tissue still behaves like the normal lining, it thickens, breaks down and bleeds every month. However, there’s no exit route. The blood gets trapped inside the body and it causes pain. WHERE ARE THESE TISSUES SEEN? These abnormal growths can be seen on the: - Ovaries - Fallopian tubes - Outer uterus surface - Bladder, intestine and rectum - Pelvic wall In rare case, it can be seen on the lungs, diaphragm or even the brain. WHAT SYMPTOMS DO WOMEN EXPERIENCE? - Painful and heavy menstrual periods - Spotting in between periods - Pelvic or lower back pain - Pain during or after sex - Pain with bowel movement or urination - Infertility issues - Bloating, diarrhea or constipation. The tricky part is endometriosis doesn’t show up on scans, and so women go for years without diagnosis. COMPLICATIONS Endometriosis can lead to: - Infertility - Ovarian cysts - Chronic pain - Bowel or bladder obstruction - Scar tissues that stick together - Mental health issues like anxiety, depression, low self esteem and social withdrawal CAN IT BE TREATED? According to hospitals, There is no cure for endometriosis, but it can be managed using medications, hormone therapy and surgery in severe cases. For women that find it difficult to have a baby, IVF may be carried out. WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU SUSPECT ENDOMETRIOSES? - Get an accurate diagnosis from a gynecologist - Explore treatment options depending on pain severity and if you want to get pregnant - Consider joining support groups or therapy to deal with the emotional side of it - Modify your lifestyle - See a fertility specialist if you’re trying to conceive - Be patient with your self.- LIFESTYLE AND SELF CARE TIPS - Reduce the intake of processed foods - Increase intake of foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids, fruits and vegetables - Engage in regular exercise - Use heap pads to relieve the cramps and tension - Engage in pelvic floor exercises - Practice being mindful and present. WHAT DOES ENDOMETRIOSES FEEL LIKE? It feels like: - Sharp, deep and consistent pain (Like your womb is being twisted with a knife) - Heavy irregular and messy periods (With severe nausea, vomiting and diarrhea) - Fatigue and exhaustion (Constant tiredness and feeling drained) - Bloating, constipation or diarrhea. If you experience these symptoms, please see a gynecologist. FAQs Can you get pregnant with endometriosis? Yes you can, however it might be difficult. Can it come back after treatment? Yes. Symptoms may return especially if treatment is stopped. Endometriosis is a chronic condition, it can only be managed. Can pregnancy cure endometriosis? Pregnancy may relieve symptoms temporarily, but it doesn’t cure it. Endometriosis is not just “painful periods.” It’s a life-disrupting condition that deserves attention, and care. If you or someone you know is struggling with unexplained pelvic pain, fatigue, or infertility, don’t ignore it. Early diagnosis and intervention can change lives. Have you experienced this before?what did you do about it? WHAT CAUSES ENDOMETRIOSES? The exact cause is not known, however several theories exist: - Retrograde menstruation, where blood flows backward through the fallopian tube instead of exiting the body. - Coelomic metaplasia, where cells outside the uterus transform into endometrial like tissue due to hormones or inflammation. - Immune dysfunction, where the immune system fails to destroy displaced endometrial tissue. - Genetics: It runs in families.

12 NEGATIVE THINGS YOU MUST NEVER DO OR SAY DURING CONFLICT IN MARRIAGE📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌📌 Disagreements in marriage are normal. Offense must come, no matter how holy and anointed you are. But we must learn to handle disputes with God's wisdom so that they won’t lead to MARITAL CRISIS AND DIVORCE. HERE ARE 12 THINGS YOU SHOULD NEVER DO DURING AN ARGUMENT WITH YOUR SPOUSE. 1. 📌Never say a word you may later regret. Never let your emotions control you. No matter how angry you are, never speak a word you will regret later. Avoid negative arguments. If you must argue, do it with love. Control your anger. Don’t abuse your tongue. Some couples are divorced today because they cannot control their tongues. Words spoken in anger can destroy a blissful marriage overnight. 2. 📌Never Be Too Proud To I Am Sorry. One thing that helped me and my wife and is still helping us is the ability to say I am sorry. This five-letter word (Sorry) is powerful. Learn to say I am sorry if you desire a peaceful and long-lasting marriage- There are two times you should say I am sorry. When you are right and when you are wrong. Why? So that peace can reign in your marriage. It’s better to be wrong and have a peaceful home than to be right and have a broken home. Don't be too arrogant to say “I am sorry” or “Please forgive me”. These are some of the most powerful words you will need to learn to use in your marriage. 3. 📌Never thr€aten your spouse with Divorce. There is no dignity in divorce. No thr€at of divorce or separation. Avoid mentioning divorce. Don’t even think of it because Love never fails. Decide to build a long-lasting marriage. God hates divorce. Every marriage has its challenges. True love is known in times of challenges. Fight for your marriage. Make up your mind to stay with your spouse in times of need. Remember the vow For better for worse. In sickness and in health be there. So fight for your marriage. 4. 📌Never refer to the past offenses of your spouse. Forgive and move on. Don’t say, last year you did this and that. Old issues should pass away. 5. 📌Never forget the goodness of your spouse when there is an issue. Don't turn your spouse into an enemy because of one single argument. Never turn your spouse into a devil because of one single argument. That’s why it is not good to make a decision when there is an argument. You may make a decision you may later regret. 6. 📌NEVER Raise your voice whenever there is an argument. DON’T SHOUT AT YOUR SPOUSE NO MATTER THE OFFENCE. Never shout at your spouse no matter what happen. The only time you are permitted to shout in marriage is when the house is on fire. God forbid. You should Talk as lovers and friends in marriage 7. 📌Never place a curse on your spouse no matter the offence. I read a story about a woman who told her husband never to come back home, and he never returned. He had an accident and d!ed on the spot. The tongue has the power of life and d€ath. 8. 📌Avoid trying to win every argument in your marriage. YOUR HOME IS NOT A LAW COURT. Don’t be Defensive. If you discover you are wrong, acknowledge it. Don't try to "win" the argument. So many fights or marital crises can be ended once you admit you are wrong instead of trying to defend yourself. You must Choose happiness over being right. Also, you don't have to argue over every little disagreement. Sometimes you have to move on from the petty differences you have with your spouse and focus on more important things 9. 📌NEVER raise your hand on your spouse. Never start destr0ying your property because you are angry. Domestic vi0lence is unacceptable. No matter how angry you are, never beat your spouse. 10. 📌Never Stop Caring When You Are Having Issues With Your Spouse. Don't stop cooking and serving your spouse, never stop calling to know how your spouse's day is going, never stop praying for your spouse, and never stop dropping money at home because there is a misunderstanding. Don't stop eating at home. Never suspend all the good things you have always done for your spouse because there is an issue 11. 📌Never Compare Your Spouse With Anybody No perfect marriage. Everyone you marry has a weakness. Only God does not have a weakness. So if you focus on your spouse's weakness you can't get the best out of his strength. Focus on what your spouse is doing right in marriage. Focus on his/her strengths, not his/her weaknesses. Stop focusing on the mistakes or weaknesses of your spouse. Be patient with your spouse. Try to understand and accept your differences and celebrate them. Never compare your husband to old boyfriends, your brother, father, pastor, or anyone else. Never compare your wife to your ex, mother, sisters, or pastor’s wife Stop comparing your marriage with someone else’s. Invest in your marriage, 12. 📌NEVER STOP TO PRAYING TOGETHER Don't let conflict, anger, or offense destroy your prayer life. Many Married couples slowly stop praying together the moment they have an issue in marriage. You see, the best time to pray with your spouse is when there is an issue. Once you stop praying because of any offense, you have allowed the devil to take a place in your home. Fight for your marriage by praying without ceasing. Your spouse is not your enemy. The devil is your enemy. You will not fail in marriage in Jesus name Kindly share this message with your loved ones 🙏

Men's Mistake When we find a woman who loves us, we assume she'll never leave because she loves us too much to abandon us. As a result, we begin to neglect her and sometimes speak harshly to her because of her love for us. We always wait for her to call first, always wait for her to initiate things, and always wait for her to text first. We don't make time for her, and sometimes we say hurtful things that wound her. We belittle her by comparing her to our exes. We belittle her by reminding her of her past. We give her no resources to care for herself. We disrespect her; we don't listen to her. We sometimes do horrible things because we know she loves us and won't leave us. When she finally leaves, we remain proud, thinking she will return as she used to. Before we realize it, she has made a decision never to return; only then do we realize we had a precious woman. When she finds someone better and decides to marry him, we say she's not a good woman and lie, claiming she abandoned us because of this or that. The woman we treat like trash will sooner or later become the queen of a man who knows her worth. That's just life.(AND VICE VERSA).Don't go without reacting I beg you.

A PASTOR'S BETRAYAL PART 4 The house was too quiet. Grace sat at the edge of the bed, her fingers tracing the rim of her morning coffee cup, the steam long gone. Michael had left early again—another "business meeting." But this time, something felt different. Her stomach twisted in knots, and no matter how hard she tried to shake it off, the feeling clung to her like a shadow. She picked up her phone, scrolling mindlessly until a message notification popped up. It was from an unknown number. Her breath hitched as she opened it. "Your husband and his secretary look so cozy together at the Silver Spoon Café. Thought you should know." Attached was a photo—Michael sitting across from his young, beautiful secretary, their heads close together as they smiled over documents. Grace’s hands trembled. She didn’t remember driving to Michael’s office. All she knew was the burning in her chest, the way her pulse roared in her ears. She burst through the doors, ignoring the startled receptionist, and marched straight to his office. And there they were—Michael and her—standing close, the secretary laughing at something he said. Grace saw red. "Grace? What are you—" Michael started, his eyes widening as she stormed in. "Who is she?!" Grace screamed, pointing at the secretary. The young woman stepped back, her face paling. "Mrs. Thompson, I—" "Grace, calm down!" Michael moved between them, his hands raised. "This isn’t what you think!" "Then what is it?!" Her voice cracked, raw with betrayal. "Another business meeting? Another late night? How long has this been going on?!" Michael’s jaw tightened. "Nothing is going on! We were just going over contracts!" Grace let out a bitter laugh. "Contracts? Is that what you call it now?" She lunged forward, shoving him hard. Michael stumbled back, shock flashing across his face. "Grace, stop!" But she couldn’t. The rage, the hurt, the months of loneliness—it all erupted. She grabbed the nearest thing—a glass paperweight—and hurled it at the wall. It shattered, the sound like a gunshot in the tense silence. The secretary screamed, scrambling out of the room. Michael grabbed Grace’s wrists, his grip firm. "Grace, enough! You’re acting crazy!" "*Crazy?!" She wrenched free, tears streaming down her face. "You’ve been lying to me! You’ve been cheating on me!" "I haven’t!" Michael’s voice broke. "Grace, please—just listen to me!" But she didn’t want to listen. She couldn’t. The ride home was a blur. Michael followed her, pleading the entire way, but Grace barely heard him. All she could hear was Pastor Gideon’s voice in her head: "If you stay, you will die." When they got home, the children were there—their three beautiful babies, their faces filled with confusion and fear as they watched their parents scream at each other. "Daddy? Mommy?" little Sarah whispered, her eyes wide with tears. Grace’s heart shattered. But she couldn’t stop. She packed her bags that night. Michael begged on his knees, his voice broken. "Grace, please… Don’t do this. I love you. We love you." The children cried, clinging to her legs. "Mommy, don’t go!" Grace closed her eyes, her hands shaking as she zipped up her suitcase. Pastor Gideon’s words echoed louder. "God wants you free." She turned away, walking out the door without looking back. When she arrived at the church, Pastor Gideon welcomed her with open arms. "Sister Grace," he said, his voice dripping with false warmth. "You’ve done the right thing. God is pleased." He patted her back, his smile wide. "This is your new beginning." Grace nodded, but deep down, beneath the numbness, a voice whispered: What have I done? That night, alone in the small apartment the pastor had arranged for her, Grace sat on the edge of an unfamiliar bed, staring at her phone. There were 17 missed calls from Michael. 32 messages from the kids. And one voicemail—Sarah’s tiny, broken voice: "Mommy… please come home." Grace pressed a hand to her mouth, choking back a sob. For the first time, she wondered—had she made the biggest mistake of her life? TO BE CONTINUED...

A PASTOR'S BETRAYAL PART 3 Grace stood in the kitchen, her hands shaking as she stared at the text on her phone. It was from Michael—short, cold, like always. "Working late. Don’t wait up." She had spent all afternoon preparing his favorite meal—peppered snail soup with fresh bread. The table was set, candles lit, the house smelling of spices and warmth. She had wanted to talk, to finally tell him how lonely she felt. How much she missed him. But now, the food would go cold. Again. Her fingers hovered over her phone. She wanted to type, "Please come home. We need to talk." But she knew what his response would be—silence. Or worse, annoyance. She took a deep breath and called him instead. The phone rang three times before Michael answered. In the background, she could hear laughter, glasses clinking. A restaurant. "Grace, I said I’m working," he muttered, his voice tight with irritation. Her heart pounded. "You’re not at the office." A pause. Then a sigh. "I had a business dinner. I didn’t think I needed to explain every little thing to you." Little thing. Those words cut deep. To her, it wasn’t little. It was another night alone. Another night where she felt invisible in her own marriage. "Michael…" Her voice cracked. "I made dinner. I wanted us to talk. We—we can’t keep living like this." Another pause. Then, "Grace, not now. I’ll be home late." And just like that, he hung up. Grace stood there, the phone still pressed to her ear, the dial tone buzzing like a taunt. When Michael finally came home, hours later, Grace was waiting. The candles had burned out. The food was untouched. He walked in, loosening his tie, barely glancing at her as he headed for the stairs. "Michael," she said, her voice trembling. "We need to talk." He stopped, exhaling sharply. "Grace, it’s midnight. Can’t this wait?" No. It couldn’t. "Every time I try to talk to you, you push me away," she whispered, tears spilling over. "Do you even love me anymore?" Michael turned, his face unreadable. "This again? Grace, I’m tired. I work all day, and I don’t need this drama when I come home." Drama. That word shattered something inside her. "This isn’t drama!" she cried. "This is our marriage! You don’t talk to me, you don’t spend time with me—I feel like a ghost in my own house!" Michael’s jaw tightened. "What do you want from me, Grace? I provide for you. You have everything!" Everything except his love. Grace wiped her tears, her breath coming in shaky gasps. "I want my husband back." For a second, something flickered in Michael’s eyes—guilt? Regret? But then it was gone, replaced by cold indifference. "I don’t have time for this," he said, turning away. And just like that, he walked upstairs, leaving her standing there, broken. Grace didn’t sleep that night. By morning, her eyes were swollen, her heart raw. She needed someone to talk to. Someone who would listen. So she went back to the only person who seemed to care—Pastor Gideon. In his office, Grace cried as she told him what happened. Pastor Gideon listened, nodding sympathetically. Then he leaned forward, his voice grave. "Sister Grace… I fear for your life." Grace froze. "What?" He sighed, shaking his head. "A man who treats his wife this way… it’s not just neglect. It’s spiritual warfare. The devil is using him to destroy you." Grace’s hands trembled. "But—but what do I do?" Pastor Gideon placed a hand over hers. "God is telling me… if you stay, you will die in that house. Not just your heart—your life." Grace gasped, her blood running cold. "The Bible says, ‘Come out from among them and be separate.’ You must leave, Sister Grace. Before it’s too late." Her mind spun. Leave Michael? After eighteen years? But the pastor’s words sank deep, feeding her fears. You will die if you stay. That evening, Pastor Gideon "coincidentally" ran into Michael at a charity event. "Brother Michael!" he greeted warmly, clapping him on the back. "How are you, my friend?" Michael, unaware of the pastor’s conversations with Grace, smiled. "Doing well, Pastor. Keeping busy." The pastor sighed sympathetically. "I actually wanted to speak with you. Your wife came to me recently… she’s been struggling." Michael’s smile faded. "Grace?" Pastor Gideon nodded. "She’s… very emotional. I’ve been counseling her to find peace in God’s word. Marriage is sacred, after all." Michael relaxed, grateful. "I appreciate that, Pastor. She’s been… difficult lately." The pastor smiled, hiding his deceit behind holy concern. "We’ll keep praying for you both." Meanwhile, Grace sat at home, staring at her wedding ring, wondering if removing it would save her life—or destroy it. TO BE CONTINUED...
