My mother confessed to me that the man who I thought was my uncle all my life was actually my brother, my elder brother.

Charles is my son, My first son; Your Brother!. My mother confessed to me.

How do you mean mom? What do you mean? How is that possible? I asked my mother. It's a long story Ayochidi, I will tell you all about it, but now I just have to get out of here and go confront Chief Okoye. My mother said to me.

How are you going to do that? I asked my mother. I will figure something out. She replied me. Mom, why you are figuring something out, I need to know how come Uncle Charles is my brother. Does he even know that you are his mother? I asked my mother. But instead I saw tears coming out of her eyes. He doesn't. My mother replied.

Why is everything about my family fvvcked up this bad. Why is everything difficult? I yelled at my mother.

Calm down. Ayochidi. Olivia said to me. The warden is monitoring my behavior.

Should I even believe that you are my mother? I asked my mother. Ayochidi the warden is looking at you. Calm down. Olivia said to me.

I'm your mother. Joyce said to me. I can't believe that. At this point I need a DNA test. I can't believe what ever word that comes out of your mouth. You have no difference with Angela or even Chief Okoye, All you guys do is lie upon lie. I don't even know who to believe anymore. I said.

Is everything alright here? The warden came and asked me. I nodded to yes. Everything is alright. Joyce said.

Everything is not alright. I'm out of here. I said as I left the prison.

Ayochidi I think you are overreacting, I mean your mother must have a reason for hiding the identity of Charles all this time. Olivia said to me.

She has no right, No one does. I won't blame you because you ain't in my shoes right now. I said to Olivia.

In your shoes? Really Ayochidi. Your shoes? I'm wearing the same exact shoes as you are, my life is in danger why because of I Love You. All because I care about you and here you are telling me about shoes? Shoes? Really? Shoes!. Olivia said and angrily went into the car.

At that point I realized I fvvcked up, But at the same time I was too angry apologize. I went into the car and Olivia didn't speak to me. She faced her side of the glass as I drove.

We drove back to Jide's house, Jide saw how angry Olivia is as she went upstairs to her room.

What happened? Jide asked me. Nothing just girls problem. Have you been able to track down Chief Okoye? I asked Jide. We are still working on that. Jide said.

It's seems like you are delaying, you are slowing down. You just have found and fished him out by now. I said to Jide. If it was that easy why don't you fish him out yourself Ayochidi? Guy don't shift your relationship problems to me. I don't know what is going on between you and your girl but I think you should go and apologize. Jide said to me.

At first I was reluctant. But Jide left me to go meet his boys. After few minutes of standing alone, I finally went upstairs to meet Olivia.

I saw she was sitted on the bed still angry as I came in.

"I'm sorry for what I said, I shouldn't have said what I said. I'm wrong. Forgive me babe. I said to Olivia. Ayochidi what you said is wrong. I have been through this struggle, this war with you from day one, And gaslighting me like that isn't fair. Olivia said.

I'm sorry my love. It won't happen again. I said as I went close and kissed Olivia. The kiss followed an intense romance. We ended up making out and sleeping off.

We were sleeping off when Jide came into the room tapping me to wake up. Ayochidi wake up. Jide said and immediately I sprung up.

Come to the living room. Jide said. And immediately I followed Jide to the living room and then Olivia came down after.

It was a TV news. Chief Okoye was found déad in an abandoned building and the culprit was found seriously injured.

When the image of the culprit appeared on the screen, I was shocked. My mother was the culprit. She was rushed to the hospital.

How did she escape from Prison?

Your shares is my biggest motivation to continue.

To Be Continued...

Title: Promise 30.

SIGNS THAT HE WILL MAKE A GOOD HUSBAND:

1. "HE HAS A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH HIS ADMIRABLE DAD"

If his dad is a good husband and father and he looks up to his dad, chances are he will be like his dad

2. "HE SEPARATES HIMSELF FROM BAD EXAMPLES"

If his father was absent in his life or his father did things he is ashamed of, he grows up forgiving his dad, respecting his dad but also not wanting to be like his dad

3. "HE MENTORS AND TEACHES MEN YOUNGER THAN HIM"

A man who mentors others pushes himself to always be a good example

4. "HE IS NOT SWAYED BY PUBLIC PRESSURE"

In marriage, many men mess up their families because of following trends, pressure to please friends or wanting to project a certain image to fit in society

5. "HIS CLOSE MALE FRIENDS ARE OF GOOD REPUTE"

Look at the company he keeps close; that will indicate the caliber of man he is

6. "HE TREATS EVERY WOMAN WITH RESPECT"

Be suspicious of a man who treats his woman well but treats other women like crap; soon, he will treat his woman like crap

7. "HE IS GOOD WITH CHILDREN EVEN THOSE NOT HIS"

How he values and is responsible with other people's children prepares himself to value his own

8. "HE IS PROTECTIVE OF HIS NAME"

A man who upholds his name will keep a good character, after all, the wife and children will carry his name

9. "MARRIAGE IS HIS IDEA TOO"

Many men are forced into marriage, either because the woman got pregnant or the woman pressured him to propose to her after they dated for so long. Is it his idea to marry you lady, or is it only yours? A man who willfully pursues a woman to marry her and is the one excited about marriage will almost certainly make sure he lives up to being a good husband. Where a man takes himself he performs well and gives his all

10. "HE LIVED AN HONOURABLE LIFE AS A SINGLE MAN"

A single man who lives in a manner that shows he is keeping and preparing himself for that one special woman will make a good husband. To him, being a husband is a big deal

11. "HE TREATS THE LADY WELL AS THEY DATE"

A man who acts like a faithful husband even before he marries the woman will make a good husband. But if he is insulting her, cheating on her, rejecting her and taking her for granted when they are dating; he will most likely insult her, cheat on her, reject her and take her for granted when married

12. "HE TREATS HIS MOTHER WITH LOVE AND RESPECT”

A man who appreciates his mother will appreciate his wife

13. "HE LOVES GOD"

Marriage is God's idea. A man who wants to engage in this idea led by the Creator of this idea will strive to please God. The more a man loves God, the more he loves his wife

14. "HE SEES THE WOMAN AS AN EQUAL PARTNER"

This kind of man will not dictate or lord over the woman, it will not always be his way, he will consult his wife, learn from her and teach her too

15. "HE IS HER BEST FRIEND"

Lady, if he is not only your lover but your best friend too, he will be a best friend till the end.; best friends are real with each other, honest, loyal, fun, thoughtful. Take away the romance and things that lovers do, are you and him best friends?

16. "HE USES HIS PAST TO LEARN"

Maybe he messed up in his past relationships, or his past relationships taught him alot. If he paid attention to the lessons learned, he will be a wise husband

17. "HE IS DISCIPLINED"

A man who has control over himself will make a good husband. He is not given to addictions. How can a man lead a family, if he cannot lead himself?

May such man be your portion.

God bless you.

The Danger of Comparing Your Marriage to Social Media
Social media often gives us a romanticized version of reality. Perfect vacations, surprise proposals, anniversary gifts — it all looks beautiful. But behind every perfect post, there could be hidden struggles, years of hard work, or even turmoil.
Comparing your relationship to what you see online can breed discontent. You begin to measure love by what is seen, not what is felt. You forget the private victories you and your partner have overcome. You forget the value of your shared journey.
Relationships aren't built in photo filters. They're built in sacrifice, late-night talks, forgiveness, and compromise. When you compare, you diminish the realness of your love and chase a fantasy that doesn't exist.
Remember, real love is not always picture-perfect. It’s in the quiet mornings, the inside jokes, the shared responsibilities, and the unwavering support during hard times. Don’t trade authentic connection for staged perfection.
Celebrate your story. Be present in your love.

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: WEDNESDAY 4TH JUNE 2025

THEME: *DISRUPT EVIL PATTERNS*

MEMORIZE
Lamentations 5:7
Our fathers have sinned and are not; and we have borne their iniquities.

READ
Genesis 5:1-8, 11, 14
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.
Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:
And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:
And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.
And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:
And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:
And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.
And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.
And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*Christ in you is the hope of glory, not shame!*

MESSAGE
A pattern simply means a perpetual structure or a customary way of operation or behaviour.

God uses patterns to govern the universe. For instance, the universe runs on autopilot of divine ordinance. The sun rises from the east and always sets in the west on a daily basis. The moon orbits the earth approximately once in a month, the planets orbit the sun, electrons orbit the nucleus, this is the pattern of creation that secures universal control.

The human body operates in a structured way by design. It is natural to use the restroom from time to time if your digestive system is actively engaged. A woman's monthly flow is regulated by a pattern.

So everything in creation runs on a pattern.

However, there are evil patterns that seek to frustrate the lives of people, making their lives bitter and unbearable.

For instance, there are people who come from certain bloodlines with strange evil patterns. Firstborn(s) do not excel. There are families where firstborn(s) find it difficult to finish schooling, and there are patterns where firstborn(s) die in their prime.

Evil family patterns operate on autopilot through family behavioural patterns. Certain lifestyles that are perpetuated overtime that has become the story of the family. Some families are notorious for alcohol, some with gross immorality, and some are known for prostitution.

Today's text and memory verse both captured the ill effects of evil patterns and how they operate. It says that "the fathers have sinned and are not, and the children have borne their iniquities;" to bear the iniquities of the fathers simply means to continue the same lifestyles of the fathers and the consequences.

The text elucidates in clear term how evil patterns perpetuate themselves in the lives of people generationally.

Death was foreign to the human race until Adam sinned, and death came upon all things and thus reigned on all men even on those who have not sinned. [Romans 5:14]

The good news is that you can disrupt the negative circle, and you can break the spell that sustains the evil patterns either in your life or in your family.

We saw what looked like polygamy with Father Abraham and Jacob, but we saw a difference with Joseph even in a strange land. He chose to discontinue the trend.

You may not be able to do anything about the history of your bloodline, but you can stop it from continuing with you.

*The seed of God in you by the Holy Ghost is greater than the evil patterns in your bloodline*

*Christ in you is the hope of glory, not shame!*

Receive grace to disrupt and overcome every evil pattern that runs in your bloodline today in Jesus' name.

Shalom, maranatha!

ACTION STEPS

2. Ask the Lord to show you prevalent evil patterns in your bloodline that require a brutal approach to change.

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. I receive grace to accept the responsibility to disrupt, overcome and destroy every evil patterns in my bloodline that threatens my glorious destiny in you and help me to fully maximise my destiny and to finish strong and unscathed in Jesus' name

CONFESSION

AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID

DAILY READING: Psalms 149-150; Hebrews 11-12;

HYMN
A mighty fortress is our God,
A bulwark never failing :
Our Helper He, amid the flood
Of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe
Doth seek to work his woe ;
His craft and power are great,
And armed with cruel hate "
On earth is not his equal.

2
Did we in our own strength confide,
Our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side,
The Man of God's own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be ?
Christ Jesus, it is He !
Lord Sabaoth is His name,
From age to age the same :
And He must win the battle.

3
And though this world, with devils
filled,
Should threaten to undo us:
We will not fear; for God hath willed
His truth to triumph through us.
Let goods and kindred go,
This mortal life also ;
The body they may kill :
God's truth abideth still,
His Kingdom is for ever.

*What does a SIDE CHICK do better than a WIFE???*



ABSOLUTELY NOTHING a SIDE CHICK does better than a WIFE. Your SIDE CHICK is just better because you haven't put her through what you have put your WIFE through, try it and you might even run away from the country for her.
How can your WIFE be as PERFECT as your SIDE CHICK when you have IMPREGNATED her 5times, sent her to LABOR 5times, ANTENATAL, POST NATAL, BREASTFEEDING for many years, CHILD CARE and UPBRINGING till each baby turns 20. Also SCHOOL RUNS every MORNING and EVENING, COOKS FOOD for the FAMILY, you will also DISTURB her at NIGHT like a MOSQUITO, she will be in the HOSPITAL for many days looking after you KIDS when they got SICK, HOUSE CHORES and GROCERIES still to be done by her. Furthermore, you the HUSBAND have caused her many CUTS down on her VAGINA, CUTS as a result of CS, what about SAGGED BREASTS from YOU SUCKING and your CHILDREN SUCKING, STOMACH STRETCH MARKS, PIMPLES and BIG NOSE you caused her during PREGNANCY. What about VOMITING, LOSS OF APPETITE, some men have totally withdraw their WIVES from SOCIETY because of their African beliefs yet you don't want to VALUE and RESPECT your WIFE, but only what you remember is that she is not ROMANTIC but your SIDE CHICK or SIDE HEN is... DEAR HUSBANDS, put that your SIDE CHICK or SIDE HEN to this LIFE THREATENING ADVENTURE and see if she can cope. Please learn to appreciate your WIFE, LIFE isn't all about S€X and ROMANCE, whereas you won't be horny forever. Remember how she was before you married her and remember that you are the CAUSE of her WOES. Truth is if you know what your wife is going through, you will go back to her FATHER with a BOTTLE of WINE and add EXTRA MONEY to her BRIDE PRICE. It isn't easy being a WIFE and MOTHER at the same time, is a FULL TIME JOB.

Some MEN will ask, what does a WIFE bring to the TABLE??? She literally BRINGS her LIFE.

RESPECT your WIFE..

CLASS DISMISSED..

*Here are some Bible verses about faith ¹ ² ³:*

- "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." (Hebrews 11:1)
- "And whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith." (Matthew 21:22)
- "For nothing will be impossible with God." (Luke 1:37)
- "For we walk by faith, not by sight." (2 Corinthians 5:7)
- "So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ." (Romans 10:17)
- "And without faith it is impossible to please God, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him." (Hebrews 11:6)
- "For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast." (Ephesians 2:8-9)

{Romans 12:1-8}
Everyone on planet earth has a destiny, career, gift & a ministry to fulfil. God has prepared an agenda for everyone on earth to fulfil their purpose [i.e time to fulfil their purpose on earth (Eccl 3)].
So brethren, if you noticed that the gift of your brother or your sister in the Lord is gradually manifesting, you shouldn't be jealous or angry because God's Time is the Best (Isa 60:22b)!
Instead of being jealous, you should pray to God to hasten the manifestation of your gift or your destiny because if you remain stagnant & aren't praying, you must surely fall into jealousy! It's normal for everyone even in the wicked world, movies we watch and activities we indulge ourselves! I Love that chapter !! Spread Love and Positivity !!!
