Don’t dream of winning, train for it. – Mohamed Farah

Good morning



*Compiled by Hon. Osuji George osujis@yahoo.com, +234-8122200446*

*How to keep a relationship happy & strong …*

Love takes work, but it’s worth it every day . Show up for each other, even when life gets busy . Small gestures matter—text them "I love you" or surprise them with their favorite snack . Laugh together often—joy keeps love alive . Listen more than you speak, and really hear their heart . Never take them for granted—appreciation builds love higher . Keep choosing them, even on tough days .

Fights will come, but don’t let anger win . Take a breath, cool down, and talk it out . Say "I’m sorry" when you’re wrong—pride ruins love . Forgive quickly, because holding grudges hurts you both . Remember why you fell for them in the first place . Love isn’t perfect—it’s two people trying, every single day . Together, you’re stronger than any problem .

Never stop dating your partner—keep the spark alive ! Plan little surprises, like a picnic or a movie night . Hold hands, kiss often, and stay close—touch keeps love warm . Say "I love you" like you mean it, every time . Grow together, dream together, and build a future side by side . Love is a choice—make it every morning when you wake up . Start today, and keep fighting for what matters most—**each other** !

*THE RESTORER'S DAILY GUIDE*

DATE: FRIDAY 30TH MAY 2025

THEME:
*NOBODY CAN SATISFY ANYBODY*

MEMORIZE
Hebrews 12:14
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:

READ
1 Peter 3:13-18
And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?
But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;
But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:
Having a good conscience; that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good conversation in Christ.
For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing.
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
*You were not designed to meet people's expectations.*

MESSAGE
We were never created to meet people's expectations; that is God's job.

Unfortunately for God, He has not been able to satisfy the desires of "fallen humans" because they want what He hates...

This is why living to please people or to impress people is living in a fools paradise. It is a waste of time and effort.

It started in heaven, Lucifer faulted the holiest one who is without unrighteousness... and led a mutiny against the most high; His creator and boss because he was disgruntled about God's leadership style...

The father of the prodigal son couldn't satisfy his own son... he wanted more than staying in his father's house...

The people who ate miracle bread and fish from our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ also shouted, "Crucify him."

Judas Iscariot, who was shown so much love and acceptance from the best pastor, was the worst traitor and betrayer in history.

*When your best is never enough, don't blame yourself for it.*

When people disdain and contem, your best efforts care not about it. You were not designed to meet people's expectations.

Remember, the bee lives only for 40 days and must visit at least 1000 flowers to be able to produce only half of a teaspoonful of honey...

To us, it's only a teaspoonful honey, but to the bee, that is his whole life's labour and earnings...

There is only one person you should strive to please; and that is God. Having done all your best to please God, bless the LORD for whatever reactions you get from men, whether good or bad.

This is the conclusion of the whole matter;

1. Discover purpose,
2. Live maximally to release your full potential, and leave the rest for God.
3. Follow peace with all men, and as much as it lies with your strength, seek peace and pursue it.
4. Maintain a pure heart and a conscience void of offence towards others.
5. Most importantly, live ready for the LORD at all times because the time is short.

Cheers and shalom.

ACTION STEPS
1. Prayerfully meditate on today's devotional guide.
2. Be determined to be in God's good book always.
3. Do your best to stay out of trouble with all men, making peace your umpire.

REMEMBER
*You were not designed to meet people's expectations.*

PRAYERS
Dear heavenly Father, Thank you for today's devotional guide. Help me to know and to do your will always, keep me in the center of your perfect plans always and help me to pursue purpose to the fullest and to stand before you blameless in the end in Jesus name. Amen.

AUTHOR: JEDIDIAH DAVID

DAILY READING: Jeremiah 1-2; Psalms 34-37; Matthew 14-15;

HYMN
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus' blood and righteousness ;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus' name.

On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand ;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.

2
When darkness hides His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the vail.

3
His oath, His covenant, His blood,
Support me in the 'whelming flood ;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.

4
When He shall come with trumpet sound,
On ,may I then in Him be found,
Clothed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne !

ThankGod for today

BREAKING ANCESTRAL FORCES AND FAMILY CURSES: Genesis 32:24-32, Psalm 11:3, Isaiah 10:27

I don't know if you're suffering from FAMILY GENERATIONAL CURSES. Some families cannot move forward, marry on time, secure a good job or prosper in the works of their hands.

Many families find it hard to experience breakthrough in the areas of marriage, job, career, business and finances. When you are under the yoke of family curses, you cannot complete whatever you have started.

If you come from a cursed home, there will be no growth, experiencing unquestionable sickness and diseases. Everything about you will be delayed in the journey of life. People promise you good but never fulfill. A bad luck spirit will hunt and haunt you wherever you go and never give you peace. People hate you for no reason.

Today by the SPIRIT OF PROPHECY and ANGELIC INTERVENTION. I break that demonic yoke, evil altars, chains and cycle of GENERATIONAL CURSES over your life. Begin to make it in life and experience the HAND OF GOD'S FAVOR and BLESSINGS in JESUS CHRIST Name.

You shall not bury anyone young in your family! You shall not buried young.
-
That cage where the enemy kept you, that cage is broken right now in Jesus name.
-
I break the curse of spirit husband, I break the curse of spirit wife, I break the curse of spirit children; your tenure expires right now in Jesus Name!
