*TOPIC: GOD'S DESIGN FOR MARRIAGE*

_*"And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him." Genesis 2:18.*_

*MESSAGE*
When it comes to human sexuality and marriage, no human government has the authority to redefine what God has already established. Not even the Church invented marriage. Marriage was designed by God long before the Church existed, before the nation of Israel was formed, and before any human government was set up.

The true meaning of marriage goes back to the Garden of Eden in Genesis 2, where God Himself set the standard. This divine design is repeated and confirmed throughout the Bible. Even in the book of Revelation, marriage is used as a sacred picture of the relationship between Jesus Christ and His redeemed people. Scripture treats marriage as holy, and the book of Hebrews tells us that it is to be honoured by all.

Marriage is not a human experiment; it is a product of God's perfect creation. For this reason, we must rejoice in His plan, resist every attempt to weaken or corrupt it, and work daily to make our own marriages strong, healthy, and God-honouring.

Although the world continues to introduce new ideas and philosophies, our allegiance must remain with Almighty God — the One who invented marriage and put it into operation from the beginning. His design is not outdated; it is eternal.

*ACTION POINT*
✍️ Pray for your present or future marriage today and commit to honouring God's design in your relationships.

*SCRIPTURES*
Genesis 2:24;
Matthew 19:4–6;
Ephesians 5:31–33;
Hebrews 13:4.

*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Father, help me to honour Your design for marriage in my life.

2. Lord, strengthen marriages in my family and in Your Church.

3. Father, give me grace to stand firmly by Your truth in a changing world.

Luke 19: 1 - 28

1. Leadership Impartation
2. Joining the World
3. Occupy till I Come

1. LEADERSHIP IMPARTATION
Leadership in every sector is very important because it determines how. After all, the place will be and the impact of the leaders also matters because it is a means of delegating authority which will enable him to have a good successor among the followers. Joshua has been working with Moses as a co-labourer but the leadership mantle fell on him not in isolation but as someone who meant the business of being a leader. Moses therefore handed over properly to him without any grudge. Moses went up to Mount Gilgal and died but there was no leadership break since he handed over properly to Joshua and this Impartation prompted the spirit of God on him and he was filled with the Spirit of God which made him wise because Moses laid hands on him. This is an unction to function, and the people accepted him as their leader; surely, ministry is easy when people are ready to obey. Impartation matters in the ministry to any minister because it is a way to receive the staff of authority. Today we have many ministers who are not properly ordained and many are in a haste to receive the mantle of leadership, but Joshua waited till the completion of Moses' ministry and he received the mantle; unlike those who will fight their leaders and settle themselves by force. Many church leaders today are not successful because they have no proper Impartation from their leaders, even if they are called to start their ministry, they still need the Impartation from the leaders of the church from where they are leaving to start their own ministry.

2. JOINING THE WORLD
Evil communication corrupts good manners, any Christian who joins the world will lack the presence of God. Prophet Hosea cried on Ephraims who joined themselves to the people of the world, those who were disobedient to God and their leaders, those who were liars, rebellious, and Idol worshippers and they put themselves in unknown danger yet they refused to find God. Paul warned us not to join ourselves with the world so that we will not become enemies of God. We should not be attracted by the way they do things or else we will be lured into their way of life. Be satisfied with how God is dealing with you, and learn not the attitude of the heathens.

3. OCCUPY TILL I COME
The calling of Christians is a call that hands down different ministries to those who are called, and it is to be done to the end of their lives. Jesus' parable of Mina which is money, denotes the giving of ten pounds to them (maybe each), for them to trade with; one gained an additional ten pounds while the second gained another five pounds and both received reward accordingly, but the third person wasted the opportunity and delivered the money without gain for fear of failure. Many Christians are in the position of the last man, they cannot face risk, they are self-centred, and complain about their situation as if others who are making it are not in the same world as them. When it's time to do something that requires money in the church they will frown and complain as if God is asking for what He has not given to them. It is important to know that we cannot contribute equally, but when those with thousands are contributing why can't you put your own hundreds? According to this Luke account, it means their master gave ten pounds each, and he did not blame one that gained only five for he knew what he passed through before getting what he remitted and also he knew his ability, that he was able to make five might be something wonderful but for the complainer, the little he collected never yielded any increase as he went ahead and kept it without trading with it. Why not trade according to our capacity? I pray that the reward of doing good shall not elude us in the name of Jesus.

*RESTORATION TODAY - TACN PRODUCTION*

*THURSDAY, JUNE 18, 2026.*

*TOPIC: THE GOLDEN RULE*

_*"Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets." Matthew 7:12.*_

*MESSAGE*
Wherever we find ourselves, strong relationships and genuine friendships are built on one simple but powerful principle — the Golden Rule that Jesus gave us. Many problems in relationships do not come from hatred, but from misunderstanding, assumption, secrecy, and poor communication.

There is the story of a new pastor who shared some wise rules with his congregation: if you have a problem, speak privately; avoid gossip; interpret others kindly; keep confidences; resist manipulation; and be honest when unsure. These were not complicated instructions. They were practical ways of protecting unity, trust, and peace in relationships.

The truth is that all of those rules can be reduced to one sentence: treat people the way you would like to be treated. When you speak honestly, listen carefully, protect people's dignity, and refuse to spread anger, you build bridges instead of walls. Misunderstandings decrease, trust increases, and peace becomes possible.

Many broken relationships could be healed if this rule was followed. Many friendships could be preserved if this principle was practised daily. Jesus did not give us this instruction as a suggestion, but as a way of life. If we choose to live by it, our homes, churches, workplaces, and friendships will become stronger and healthier.

*ACTION POINT*
✍️ Think about one relationship in your life and intentionally treat that person today in the way you would like to be treated.

*SCRIPTURES*
Matthew 7:12;
Luke 6:31;
Ephesians 4:31–32; Proverbs 18:24.

*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Father, help me to treat others with kindness and wisdom.

2. Lord, remove every spirit of anger, gossip, and misunderstanding from my heart.

3. Holy Spirit, teach me to live by the Golden Rule every day.

Deuteronomy 33
Hosea 4: 1 - 6: 3
Luke 18: 15 - 43.

1. Minister's Blessings
2. Like Pulpit, Like The Pew
3. Bringing Children To God:

1. MINISTER'S BLESSINGS
Curses, curses from parents, curses from colleagues, curses from the same blood, and curses from ministers cause many problems in the life of man. Many ministers met their curses on the Assembly, Parish, District, or Area where they were posted, but instead of removing the curse, they added to it for one reason or another. Moses in this passage, blesses the people and reverses all the parental curses that have been placed on many of the tribes. Despite the problems given to him by these people even to the detriment of deprived his entry to the Canaan land yet he blessed them. Studying his blessings, we can see how he reversed Jacob's curses on Ruben one of the tribes, whom his father said he would not excel. Moses declared life and multiplication, and he blessed Judah with self-reliance and deliverance, to Levi, he was blessed with success in his ministry to mention just a few. Ministers and church members should learn from Moses, there would certainly be problems at their new stations, some people will even tell them the matter as people told Elisha, but instead of working on such problems, they will compound the problem, and instead of looking for a solution they will transfer it to the incoming minister. God brings each minister to refine the church from the position she she find herself; doing it as the former ministers may not move the church forward. Moses rounded off his Ministry with blessings of peace and he said 'Peace be unto you Israel, you that have been saved by the hand of God. His parting blessing was like that of the father who loves his children, unlike Jacob who left blessings with a biased mind, not like David who told Solomon to behead Joab, but like that of Jesus parting blessings of peace to the church. Sendforth should be a time when Pastors will bless the church wholeheartedly not according to the gifts given. Some members will excuse themselves in such service but the parting blessings matter for it is also a way to settle one another's errors and open a new page on both sides.

2. LIKE PULPIT, LIKE THE PEW
The congregation is supposed to follow the Priest but God says He will deal with both equally. Many people believe that the church will be like the minister and Jesus says the servant cannot be more than his master and Paul wanted his people to emulate him. But the Priest and the people of Israel and Judah refused to remain in the knowledge of God and they were dying for lack of knowledge. There was no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God, but they engage in swearing, lying, killing, stealing, committing adultery and shedding innocent blood. They provoked the Priest and the prophet to pronounce what ought not to be pronounced, which provoked God to anger. To these God wanted to punish the Priest and the people together. Many Assemblies ready to starve the minister with hunger because he did not allow them to touch the separated thing for something else, and some ministers compromised in the manner of treatment posted on them, but know this, both shall be punished when the time comes. All believers are priests by the death of Jesus Christ, and all sins mentioned above are in our society and the church and this doesn't give respect to the church or leaders of today, Some leaders lure members to fornication and adultery, while some see nothing bad in fornication, adultery and some encourage divorce. Some ministers led a rebellion against their leaders like Korah Satan and Abiram. All these evils are in the church despite the intervention of the Holy Spirit that people claimed to have received. Let us run away from all this havoc; may we not perish with the world in Jesus name. God is merciful if we can return to Him, no matter how many our sins are, He will forgive us. This is the message of Prophet Hosea saying to the people of Israel, Judah, and Ephraim that they should return to their God, though He has injured them, He will heal them, He has smitten them yet He will bind their wounds. Therefore the message is for both the pulpit and pew; return to the Lord He has no delight in the dead of the sinner.

3. BRINGING CHILDREN TO GOD:
Children are the heritage of God and they need to seek God like grown-up people. Someone says leave the elders and concentrate on the children for the children are tomorrow's church, more so it is easier to train them than the elders. Jesus laid his hand on them and blessed them. Today many left the children's church uncared for, while the adult church is in good facilities. Some left their children at home when coming to worship, while the rules of conduct of the church commanded us to bring our children to the house of worship with us. Pharaoh told Moses to go out from Egypt leaving the children behind but Moses refused and he says we will go with our children to serve our God. Let there be adequate provision for the children to serve their God, most of the people committing atrocities in our society are those who were not well-groomed in the church. The children are like the blind man who demanded that he might see. The blind man in the passage made an inquiry about what happened, that's how the children are inquisitive to ask and we must show them the way to the Lord. The man shouted that nobody could silence him, likewise, the children after knowing the truth will not allow anyone or any situation to divert their attention from God the owner of the church that's why they need to be trained from the child that no one will be able to sn**ch them from God. The blind man did not miss his words and he said that I may see, and Jesus said, " Your faith heals you, and he was healed. We all need prayers at this juncture because many are the opportunities around us that we are not seeing. I must say here, not only blind are blind but those that have no solution to their problems are also blind, those that continue managing insufficient income and find no way out are blind, those that are looking for job for many years and have no employment and still idle are also blind; for many opportunities are around us until we ask, cry, and pray the solution may not come. Someone needs to develop something that can engage and feed him but he or she is still moving from interview to interview, the opportunity is beckoning to him but he is blind to see; please pray to God to also open your eyes. I pray that all darkness in our lives shall disappear in Jesus mighty name.

BEFORE YOU SLEEP:

THE ECONOMY OF EDEN.

Genesis 1:31 And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, IT WAS VERY GOOD......

God created TREASURES. Whatever you are seeking for has been created in the garden of Eden.

Satan has never created anything, he only hijacked what God created.

Wealth is meant for children of God who work hard. Work hard as long as it takes, save and invest while you're still agile.

As a beneficiary of God's benevolence, where do you fall into?
•Low class - they earn and spend.
•Middle class- they earn, save some and spend.
•Upper class-they earn, save, invest and spend some.
•Top class- they earn, save, invest, create products and expand.

Everyone including you have some level of Treasures in our possession. You were created to be VERY GOOD.

Today I humbly recommend that you upgrade and adjust your class.

*TOPIC: TURN TO GOD, NOT TO SUBSTITUTES*

_*"And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me." Psalm 50:15.*_

*MESSAGE*
The Christian world today is witnessing a dangerous drift towards materialism and self-preservation. Many believers now give more attention to comfort, security, and wellbeing in this temporary world than to their spiritual lives and the world to come.

This unhealthy focus has pushed many away from total dependence on God. Instead of prayer, faith, and trust in the promises of Scripture, some have turned to other sources of power and security. They seek shortcuts, alternative spiritual systems, and human solutions to protect themselves and solve life's challenges.

In doing so, many have quietly sidelined the mighty promises of God. Yet God remains faithful. He has promised deliverance to those who call upon Him. The psalmist did not hesitate to trust God in times of trouble. He had confidence that God would answer when called upon.

Believers today must return to this simple, powerful confidence. When the storms of life come, God should be our first response, not our last option. He is still able to deliver, protect, and provide. His power has not diminished.

Do not abandon the living God for substitutes that cannot save.

*ACTION POINT*
✍️ Make God your first point of call in every challenge you face.

*SCRIPTURES*
Psalm 50:15;
Psalm 86:7;
Jeremiah 33:3;
Proverbs 3:5–6.

*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Lord, restore my confidence in Your power and promises.

2. Father, deliver me from the temptation to seek help outside of You.

3. Help me to trust You fully in every season of my life.

BEFORE YOU SLEEP:

ETERNAL LIFE.

After all said and done, where will you spend eternity? E shock you? You read me well, I say where will you spend eternity?

If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.1st Cor 15:19

For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Matthew 16:26

And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:Mark 9:45

If rapture happens overnight, where do you think you will be?

The Bible Calendar For 16th June 2026.

Deuteronomy 31: 14 - 32: 14
Hosea 1: 1 - 2: 1
Luke 17: 1 - 19

POINTS:
1. Write a Memorial Song
2. Redemption of His People
3. You Are To Forgive Seven Times Daily

1 WRITE A MEMORIAL SONG
The song ministry is powerful and enduring in all times and spaces; it's more memorable than speech or any other means of preserving culture and tradition. God gave Moses the last assignment: songwriting and teaching the Israelites the songs to be a memorial for their generations. Surprisingly, God said that the people will forget all the laws and the statutes but they will not forget the songs because they will be transferred from generation to generation. That tells us the importance of song to the human race, even every tradition has some special songs, and every family has a way they eulogise their people and whenever this comes up they will be encouraged and enthusiastic. Each religion also has songs, every denomination has its way they sing their songs and that's the peculiarity of such a denomination. Moses who had been working for forty years, wrote many books of law that are still relevant today, and everything was set for him to die and the successor was really prepared and ordained, yet he was not released as God says write a song that will be memorable. Songwriting is a gift that has no age limit, but many who have the gift to sing have left it because for one reason or another, they drop song composition, and some choirs cannot compose songs again they would rather look for copyright everywhere. We should know that it is important for us personally, with family, and assembly to have a song that will usher us to the presence of God. Moses taught them the song as God instructed him that even when the people had gone astray that song would continue to remind them of the will of God for them, such songs were the songs that they were commanded to sing in the strange land where they were taken to as captives and they refused to sing but asked how can we sing the song of God in a strange land? They know something must happen when the song of God is sung, but many are singing today just to entertain people instead of bringing down the glory of God. As the composition of the song was the last assignment given to Moses, so Song Ministry will be the last assignment that we will do in heaven. But if you have stopped singing here on earth, how would God be happy, He still loves your song ministry, because song ministry evangelises more than preaching.

2. REDEMPTION OF HIS PEOPLE
No matter how angry God may be, He still has plans for the salvation of His people. Prophet Hosea warned the Israelites as he revealed their sins and condemned them and he named the first daughter Jezreel for he said she would avenge the blood of innocents that have been shed by them and the second daughter was named Lo-ruhamah which means no mercy, Israel must go to exile, and he called the name of the third child Lo- ammi which means you are not my people and I will not be your God, which means He disown them from being His people. But by mercy, God remembered His covenant considered their great numbers called them His people, and accepted them as His people. What a great spiritual illustration of redemption! He has redeemed us not because we are perfect, for we are from an adulterous woman. I strongly believe that there will be redemption for our nation, the mercy of God shall locate her and redeem her from the guilt of the innocent blood. He will remember the saints in the nation and have mercy. If He can promise Abraham that if He can get ten people in S***m and Gomorrah the city shall not be destroyed; I perseve the saints in Nigeria are more than ten, I'm convince, the Lord will have mercy and deliver this nation from destruction and the will of the enemies of the nation that are planning evil against her peace and revive the economy and security of this country in Jesus name.

3. YOU ARE TO FORGIVE SEVEN TIMES DAILY
Forgiveness is highly demanded from us if we want our sins to be forgiven. Forgiveness is an act of God and very difficult for human beings to do, but Jesus taught that the only way to receive forgiveness for our own sins is to forgive those sinned against us. Jesus is talking of total forgiveness here not partial, forgiveness in its totality as if the error was not committed. Though it is difficult especially when we see the effects of wrong deeds in our life, we should know that the only way for us to have peace in our mind and continue a relationship is to forgive. Disciples in other gospelers asked how many times we can forgive daily and the answer is seventy times seven but the account of Luke here frankly says seven times in a day. This is an instruction from God because we are not perfect, we also sinned against some people knowingly or unknowingly. Forgive and forget is the order; though I have received many questions on the matter of forgiveness, the principle of God cannot be changed; if we want our sins to be forgiven, we must forgive others that sinned against us. May the Lord help all those who find it difficult to forgive others especially those who are carrying the scar inflicted on them by their offenders in Jesus name. Remember, it's only by the mercy we have not consumed.

*TUESDAY, JUNE 16, 2026.*

*TOPIC: UNCONQUERABLE LOVE*

*_"That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." Matthew 5:45._*

*MESSAGE*
One of the greatest characteristics of the love of Jesus is that it does not play favourites. His love is not selective, biased, or limited by human standards. God shows kindness to everyone — the faithful and the faithless alike. "He maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust." This is not weakness; it is divine strength. Hatred cannot defeat this love. Instead, His love overcomes hatred.

This kind of love does not come naturally to us. Human love is easily wounded and quickly withdrawn, even among fellow believers. We love those who are kind to us and struggle with those who hurt us. That is why we must grow in grace. This higher kind of love only becomes possible when we choose to cooperate with the love of God already placed within us by His Spirit.
Jesus gave us a difficult but life-transforming command: "Pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you." When we pray for our enemies, something powerful happens — not just in them, but in us. Our hearts begin to reflect the heart of Christ. Bitter feelings start to lose their grip. Anger is replaced with compassion. Defence gives way to spiritual strength.

It is by walking in this unconquerable love that we truly resemble our heavenly Father. This is the love that held Jesus on the cross. This is the love that forgave us when we had nothing to offer. And this is the love that can conquer those who oppose us, not by force, but by grace.

*ACTION POINT*
✍️ Choose today to pray genuinely for someone who has hurt or opposed you.

*SCRIPTURES*
Matthew 5:45;
Luke 6:27–28;
Romans 5:8;
1st John 4:20.

*PRAYER POINTS*
1. Lord, teach me to love as You love.

2. Help me to overcome anger, bitterness, and resentment through Your Spirit.

3. Let Your unconquerable love flow through me to others.
