*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: SATURDAY 2ND AUGUST 2025

THEME: *CRUSHED BUT MADE STRONGER*

MEMORISE
Job 13:15
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

READ
2 Corinthians 4:7-11, 16-17
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
For we which live are alway delivered unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our mortal flesh.
For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.
For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
*Turn your worries into worship, God is working on you. *

MESSAGE
The making of bread involves a process of crushing a whole wheat into flour. It is a whole lot of an interesting process. First, the chaffs are removed at the threshing or the crushing floor, then winnowing to blow the chaffs away, then another process of crushing takes place to grind the whole wheat into the wheat powder or floor and then the kneading or mixing process. And nearly every detail involves a very trying time for the precious wheat corn until it is on the table for bread.

Oh I forgot to let you know that it began from the farm when the corn of wheat falls to the ground and had to die to produce a harvest of wheat that can be used for more through its first process of crushing death on the farm...

The path to greatness is through struggles.

*Nobody will ever appreciate your glory who do not understand your story.*

The Lord Himself went through the whole crushing process in order to arrive at the place of celebration.

He puts it this way in His own words;
John 12:23-25 "And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal."

God is making you into a fine flour for the finest of bread at His table. In order to do that, He must crush things out of you in order to refine you. It’s a process. The process can be painful, but it won’t last forever. Like He did for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, God will allow you to go through the fire and never get burned (Daniel 3). Once you come out, you will be able to withstand anything that may try to come against you.

The crushing gives you discernment, wisdom, power, and trust. God has your back and always will.

No weapon formed against you shall be able to prosper (Isaiah 54:17). It’s time to trust God and withstand what He is creating within you so that you are ready for the master’s table.

ACTION STEPS
1. Thank God for everything He is passing you through at the moment to make you great on His table.
2. Surrender completely to His perfect will and let Him have His way in your life.
3. Turn your worries into worship.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Have your way in my life, and please don't bring me to lime light until I am ready to be used to bring you eternal praise in Jesus' name.

REMEMBER
*Turn your worries into worship, God is working on you. *

I stumbled on my wife's phone and this guy sent her his manhøød. She thanked the guy for it. Then follôwed by many video cálls she had with the guy. The guy then said, "I wont forget your weeeèt Pvvssy. She laughed(emoji) and said, "I feel like fvvcking you.

She forgot to delète the chats, and I saw it. When I confronted her she said that, the guy had lîcccked her before but they didnt do anything. That she didn't chè-at on me.

I'd seen cháts before of: "I hope your husband is not around." She would say, "yes. Then they would begin to exchange cháts of how they miss themselves, and kîssing emojis and exchange cálls.

Sometimes last year, a woman forwarded my wife's chats with her husband and said she wanted to post them on Facebôok but discovered that I am a responsible man, and I bègged her not to do that. She told me to warn my wife and beg her to leave her husband alone. In the chat, you will see where the man said, "I cant fórget the love we made. You will see where the man says, "my diîick is standing send me pic to view." My wife would say, "why not travel na, come down." The man would say, "I want to see you." My wife would say, " where and when?" etc..

I bègged the woman and she promised she would not post it. I confronted my wife, she started crying and swèaring as usual. Then she later said she has had sxxx with the man only 3 times, two times before our marriage and only once after our marriage.

I always forgive her because I love her so much. And I wouldn't want her to be dis.gráced. And she's really a great person. My family love her so much and revere her.

I opened a business for her last year. I do pay her monthly salary too, and provide monthly upkeep for our kids. I also buy food items in the house, and also give her cooking allowance

As we entered this year, we agreed to love ourselves more. But can you believe that I stumbled on horrible cháts again on her phone? I don't know what else to do, I don't want my kids to suffer, and I love my wife so much. Please what should I do?

All these parts are not available in the market. So, take care and keep your body parts healthy.

If loving Jesus is regarded as a crime, i would freely repeat the offense again and again

SS MARTHA, MARY & LAZARUS

(MEMORIAL)

Office: Memorial, Psalter week 1

Mass and preface of the Memorial

Vestment: White

Today’s Rosary: The Sorrowful Mystery

ENTRANCE ANTIPHON Cf. Lk 10: 38

Jesus entered a village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.

COLLECT

Almighty ever-living God, whose Son was pleased to be welcomed in Saint Martha’s house as a guest, grant, we pray, that through her intercession, serving Christ faithfully in our brothers and sisters, we may merit to be received by you in the halls of heaven. Through our Lord Jesus Christ…..

-FIRST READING-

The Lord spoke to Moses face to face.

A reading from the Book of Exodus (Exodus 33:7-11:34:5b-9.28)

In those days: Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, far off from the camp; and he called it the tent of meeting. And every one who sought the Lord would go out to the tent of meeting, which was outside the camp. Whenever Moses went out to the tent, all the people rose up, and every man stood at his tent door, and looked after Moses, until he had gone into the tent. When Moses entered the tent, the pillar of cloud would descend and stand at the door of the tent, and the Lord would speak with Moses. And when all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the door of the tent, all the people would rise up and worship, every man at his tent door. Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. When Moses turned again into the camp, his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tent. And Moses proclaimed the name of the Lord. The Lord passed before him, and proclaimed, “The Lord, the Lord, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in mercy and faithfulness, keeping merciful love for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, but who will by no means clear the guilty, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children and the children’s children, to the third and the fourth generation.” And Moses made haste to bow his head towards the earth, and worshipped. And he said, “If now I have found favour in your sight, O Lord, let the Lord, I beg you, go in the midst of us, although it is a stiff-necked people; and pardon our iniquity and our sin, and take us for your inheritance.” And he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.

The word of the Lord.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 103:6-7.8-9.10-11.12-13 (R. 8a)

R/. The Lord is compassionate and gracious.

The Lord does just deeds,
Gives full justice to all who are oppressed.
He made known his ways to Moses,
And his deeds to the children of Israel. R/.

The Lord is compassionate and gracious,
Slow to anger and rich in mercy.
He will not always find fault;
Nor persist in his anger forever. R/.

R/. The Lord is compassionate and gracious.

He does not treat us according to our sins,
Nor repay us according to our faults.
For as the heavens are high above the earth,
So strong his mercy for those who fear him. R/.

As far as the east is from the west,
So far from us does he remove our transgressions.
As a father has compassion on his children,
The Lord’s compassion is on those who fear him. R/.

ALLELUIA

Alleluia. The seed is the word of God, and the sower is Christ; all who find him will abide forever. Alleluia.

-GOSPEL

A Reading from the holy Gospel according from John (John 11:19-27)

At that time: many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary to console them concerning their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary sat in the house. Martha said to Jesus, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. And even now I know that whatever you ask from God, God will give you.” Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.” Martha said to him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in me, though he die, yet shall he live, and whoever lives and believes in me shall never die. Do you believe this? She said to him, “Yes, Lord; I believe that you are the Christ, the Son of God, he who is coming into the world.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

TODAY'S REFLECTION

The kingdom of God is at hand. The message of the coming of the kingdom of God bears some sense of urgency. But Jesus never forces anyone to accept the message. He speaks the message and allows it to take root in people, each according to the size of his/her faith. Thus, at the end of the message, he says, ‘Whoever has ears, let them hear’. God created us freely and bestows on us freedom that he doesn’t tamper with. What this means is that we will be judged according to the law of freedom. In a world that is filled with so much noise, are we able to hear the message?

PERSONAL DEVOTIONAL

Begin by making a redeemable vow to God. Do it with thanksgiving in your heart. Praise and worship him whole-heartedly.

Father, forgive me, in any way or in any form I may have brought barrenness upon my life and marriage, and heal me, in the name of Jesus.

Eternal God, I come before you today to receive the power to be fruitful in the name of Jesus.

Let Us Pray,

I thank you father because you are not man that you should lie, neither a son of man that you should change your mind. LORD, I believe you will fulfill every word you have spoken concerning my life in the name of Jesus.

PRAYER FOR NIGERIA IN DISTRESS

All powerful and merciful Father,
You are the God of justice, love and peace.
You rule over the nations of the earth.
Power and might are in your hands and no one can withstand you.
We present our country Nigeria before you.
We praise and thank you for you are the source of all we have and are.
We are sorry for all the sins we have committed
and for the good deeds we have failed to do.
In your loving forgiveness,
keep us safe from the punishment we deserve.
Lord, we are weighed down not only by uncertainties,
but also by moral, economic and political problems.
Listen to the cries of your people who confidently turn to you,
Our God of infinite goodness,
our strength in adversity,
our health in weakness,
our comfort in sorrow;
be merciful to us your people.
Spare this nation Nigeria from chaos, anarchy and doom.
Bless us with your kingdom of justice, love and peace.
We ask this through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.

Relationships and Social Media.
Temptation is all over our phones these days and we have been programmed to “swipe left” because we believe there is always someone better.
The constant need to look elsewhere will leave people in a never ending circle of unhappiness with their significant other.
I honestly think the opposite gender is way to accessible in the 21st century to each other within our mobile devices and men and women talk way too freely where boundaries are crossed blurring the lines of inappropriateness.
So unfortunately, the inappropriate conversations lead to affairs, and they cheat on the one they supposedly love.
People need to take a step back, put their phones down and focus on what’s in front of them, because some people don’t realize how lucky they truly are, to have what they currently have in a relationship.
We should stop giving people the attention who don't deserve it and start focusing on the ones that do.
Do me a favor, and appreciate what you have before it becomes what you had.
