*DAILY DEW 1ST/AUGUST /2021*

*BE POSITIVE*

_Key Bible Text:_

*BE POSITIVE*

_Key Bible Text:_
*But if it grows thorns and weeds, it is worth nothing; it is in danger of being cursed by God and will be destroyed by fire. But even if we speak like this, dear friends, we feel sure about you. We know that you have the better blessings that belong to your salvation.*
(Hebrews 6:8-9 (GNB))

_Bible Insight:_

Being productive is the proof of growth in the faith. If you fail to use the opportunities God has brought your way to work on your intentional growth and impact, you are not going to like the consequences.

God doesn't waste resources. His seeds and rains are directed to ensure your growth and productivity. He may be patient with us, and correct us in love but He expects results.

Today's text and others before it, speaks so much about the need of intentionally growing and bearing fruits. It also makes clear the consequences of failure to yield growth and productivity.

However, the charge or instructions ends on a positive note. God believes you will make it in Christ. God believes you will succeed in Him. God expects that as long as you continue in Him, you will end the journey of your salvation well. And you will fulfill purpose.

Do you believe too?

MEDITATION:
*So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase..* (1 Corinthians 3:7 (KJV))

*DAILY DEW 31ST/JULY /2021*

*BE PRODUCTIVE*

*BE PRODUCTIVE*

_Key Bible Text:_
*God blesses the soil which drinks in the rain that often falls on it and which grows plants that are useful to those for whom it is cultivated. But if it grows thorns and weeds, it is worth nothing; it is in danger of being cursed by God and will be destroyed by fire.*
(Hebrews 6:7-8 (GNB))

_Bible Insight:_
GOD blesses the soil that drinks rain and grows useful plants to be cultivated. In other words, the rain that God freely sends is expected to be properly utilized for growth and impact.

However, on the contrary, should the soil fail to utilize the rain to produce growth and bear useful plants, it would suffer. Any soil that produces thorns and weeds will be in danger of being cursed and destroyed by fire. Men actually pluck out weeds and thorns, and gather them to be burned.

In the parable of the sower, remember that the ground or soil represents humans or souls. When you receive the seed of God's word, God expects growth. Likewise, when you receive rain from God, God expects productivity.

What are you doing with God's rain of health, healing, life, goodness, favour, mercies, opportunities?

MEDITATION:
*But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.* (Matthew 13:23 (KJV))

*CONTROLLED ANGER*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.*

*CONTROLLED ANGER*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.*
(Proverbs 29:11 (NLT))

_Bible Insight:_
Many people think that all anger is sinful, but that’s not true. Anger only becomes sin when it is expressed in an inappropriate way.

Sometimes the most appropriate response to a situation is anger. It can even be an expression of love. In fact, the Bible says God gets righteously angry, and the only reason you're able to experience anger is because you're created in his image.

But there is such a thing as sinful anger. This is when we blow up or clam up. It’s when we threaten, insult, or belittle someone.

While mismanaged anger is a sin, managed anger is an asset because it gives you a clear-headed view of the situation and allows you to respond with God’s love—even if you’ve been wronged.

Because God is for you and not against you, he gives you the ability to choose how to handle your anger. With the Holy Spirit working within you, you can choose a healthy response.

Have you ever been in a heated argument at home, and the phone rang and you answered it by sweetly saying, "Hello"? What just happened? You were able to change your tone instantly because you wanted to.
Proverbs 29:11 says, "Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back" (NLT).

Choosing to get angry is just that—a choice. You’ve probably said at some point, "You make me so mad!" But nobody can control your emotions without your permission. *You can decide beforehand how you will respond and manage your anger.*

Your relationship with Christ will determine how well you master the anger in your life. Even in a crisis, in the most difficult of situations, you can manage your anger with God's love inside you.

*And when anger is managed wisely and appropriately, it produces great marriages, great friendships, great businesses, great leaders, and great progress*

MEDITATION:
*Right now, think of ways you could manage yourself whenever you're angry*

*DAILY DEW 29TH/JULY/2021*

*SURRENDER WHAT YOU CAN'T CONTROL*

_Key Bible Text:_
*You see, his faith and his actions worked together. His actions made his faith complete.*
(James 2:22 (NLT))

_Bible Insight:_

*SURRENDER WHAT YOU CAN'T CONTROL*

_Key Bible Text:_
*You see, his faith and his actions worked together. His actions made his faith complete.*
(James 2:22 (NLT))

_Bible Insight:_
To make it through times of crisis with your emotional health intact, you’ll need to learn how to control what's controllable and trust God for the rest.

God is active in your mental, spiritual, and emotional health. He wants you to make wise choices based on his guidance from the Bible and through prayer.

And then, when you encounter something out of your control, you can surrender it to God and trust him to work it out for good.

There is a great example of this in the Bible with Abraham: "You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did" (James 2:22 NIV).

It's easy to go to extremes with this. For instance, you can say it’s all up to God and become passive to the point where you do nothing. On the other hand, you can act like God doesn't play a part in your life and assume everything depends on you. *Both extremes are wrong.*

Maintaining good physical health, for example, is about balance. The same is true with emotional health. Find a balance that helps you recognize what’s in your control, and then make wise decisions based on God’s guidance as you read His Word and talk to him in prayer. And, learn to let go of those things that only God can handle.

There are a lot of things in your life you can’t control. You can't control what happens during a pandemic or crisis, and how the government and other people handle it.

*You can't control the circumstances of life, but you can choose how you will respond—and that will make all the difference.* God is always there to help you make that choice.

MEDITATION:
*What are the uncontrollable things in your life that have caused you stress because you’ve been trying to control them?*
*Why not hand them over to God today?*

*DAILY DEW 28TH/JULY/2021*

*REACH A POINT OF NO RETURN* (III)

_Key Bible Text:_
*And then they abandoned their faith! It is impossible to bring them back to repent again, because they are again crucifying the Son of God and exposing him to public shame.* (Hebrews 6:6 (GNB))

*REACH A POINT OF NO RETURN* (III)

_Key Bible Text:_
*And then they abandoned their faith! It is impossible to bring them back to repent again, because they are again crucifying the Son of God and exposing him to public shame.* (Hebrews 6:6 (GNB))

_Bible Insight:_

After knowing or experiencing the following basic teachings:- 1) principles of the doctrine of Christ; 2) the foundation of repentance from dead works; 3) faith toward God; 4) the doctrine of baptisms; 5) laying on of hands; 6) resurrection of the dead; 7) eternal judgment. You actually move to the more deeper teachings, namely: 1) being enlightened in the things of God (i.e. receiving light in the ways of God); 2) tasted of the heavenly gift; 3) made partakers of the Holy Ghost; 4) tasted the good word of God; and 5) the powers of the world to come.

These are depths that once a believer reaches ought to continue in its realities and practice. By so doing, falling away from the faith becomes impossible. It is only when a believer does not appreciate these aspects of the faith (i.e. both the fundamental and the deeper principles) that falling away becomes possible.

Also a believer does not just simply attain these aspects but continuously grows in them and daily practices its implications and realities. Being enlightened in the word for instance, is not a one-of thing. We daily grow in the light of God's word. Likewise experiencing the powers of the age should come, shouldn't be one-of. There is no way a believer will key into these that he would ever find himself looking back or crucifying Christ again.

*MEDITATION:*

*And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.!* (2 Peter 1:5-8 (KJV))

*DAILY DEW 26TH/JULY/2021*

*REACH A POINT OF NO RETURN*

_Key Bible Text:_
*For how can those who abandon their faith be brought back to repent again? They were once in God's light; they tasted heaven's gift and received their share of the Holy Spirit.* (Hebrews 6:4 (GNB))

*REACH A POINT OF NO RETURN*

_Key Bible Text:_
*For how can those who abandon their faith be brought back to repent again? They were once in God's light; they tasted heaven's gift and received their share of the Holy Spirit.* (Hebrews 6:4 (GNB))

_Bible Insight:_

There is a point of no return in Christ. It begins from the new birth (the born again experience) and progresses to the point of no return in the knowledge and profession of Jesus Christ. There is a point you get to in Christ, where you can't easily turn your back on Christ. If you ever turn your back on Christ after getting to that point, you will not be able to return to Christ again.

Hebrews 6:1-2 explores the basics of the faith of Jesus Christ. However, it urges us to move to the deeper teachings and realities of the faith. These are teachings and realities that bring us to the point of no return in Christ, that is, we will not be able to turn our backs on Christ unless we are determined to crucify Christ afresh! And crucifying Christ afresh will mean, you were never truly saved to begin with.

Let's look at the three areas mentioned, which shows depth in Christ:- *"They were once in God's light; they tasted heaven's gift and received their share of the Holy Spirit."*

Hebrews 6:4 (CEB) *Because it's impossible to restore people to changed hearts and lives who turn away once they have seen the light, tasted the heavenly gift, become partners with the Holy Spirit,*

The light of God shines to reveal and deflect darkness, the heavenly gift and partnership with the Holy Spirit refers to levels of depth in walking and dealing with the Holy Spirit.

Anyone who wants to get to God's point of no return in Christ, must embrace light, heavenly gift and partnership with the Holy Spirit. These are levels that guarantees that we will not allow any atom of darkness to prevail over us neither shall we allow sin or anything else to draw us away from the faith- because we are led by the Holy Spirit who is in partnership with us.

*MEDITATION:*

*Matthew 6:23 (KJV) But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!*

*REACH A POINT OF NO RETURN* (II)

_Key Bible Text:_
*They knew from experience that God's word is good, and they had felt the powers of the coming age.* (Hebrews 6:5 (GNB))

_Bible Insight:_

How do you get to know from experience that God's word is good? By holding on to it and seeing it come out as true and reliable. God's word when put to the test and it turns out to be true, is the best experience ever. I have tasted of the goodness of the word. I have held onto God's word, and it has not turned out to be anything but disappointing. That's the most exciting experience. It is not an experience to have and yet turn away from God.

In the same vain, believer here in time have experienced the powers of the age to come. The age to come refers to the life hereafter. It is a wonderful thing experiencing that power of the life hereafter right here on earth. Imagine receiving the dead back to life? Or watching a deaf receive their hearing or a lame recover their walking? Indeed, several times, God shows us the power of the age to come.

How do we get to see and know these and still turn away from the faith? Only those who have chronic doubt or are deceived by the devil will allow such. Indeed, it is almost impossible to have the light of God, have the gift of heaven, share partnership with the Holy Ghost, experience the goodness of God's word and the power of the coming age and still walk away from God.
Instead, we press in...

*MEDITATION:*

*Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,!* (Philippians 3:13 (KJV))

*If God Permits*

_Key Bible Text:_
*And this will we do, if God permit.* (Hebrews 6:3 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

Now listen to me, you that say, *Today or tomorrow we will travel to a certain city, where we will stay a year and go into business and make a lot of money.*

You don't even know what your life tomorrow will be! You are like a puff of smoke, which appears for a moment and then disappears.

What you should say is this: *If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.*

But now you are proud, and you boast; all such boasting is wrong.

So then, if we do not do the good we know we should do, we are guilty of sin. (James 4:13-17)

*MEDITATION:*

*We don't know what tomorrow holds but we know who holds tomorrow. And we trust him.*

*The Fundamentals of the Faith* (VI)

_Key Bible Text:_
*Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and OF ETERNAL JUDGMENT.* (Hebrews 6:2 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

The doctrine of eternal judgment teaches that all that we do in the flesh or while alive here on earth, shall be weighed on the balance by God's righteous yardstick. Many times, we gloss over the subject of judgment but it is indeed a very great matter before God.

Jesus preached a lot about judgment. He kept reminding his audience about its weight and importance:

In Matthew 12:36-37 (KJV), _"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."_

In Matthew 12:41-42 (KJV) _"The men of Nineveh shall rise IN JUDGMENT with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. The queen of the south shall rise up IN THE JUDGMENT with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here."_

The doctrine of Judgment follows the reality and doctrine of resurrection. We are not like animals that die and simply return to dust. When we die, our spirits and souls are reaped by God waiting for judgement while our bodies return to dust.

In 1 John 4:17 (KJV), it reads *"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world."*

This is indeed one doctrine that all must lay to mind. Like the day of exam for students, and they strive to be ready for that day, we too must bear the day of Judgment in mind, and ensure that we shall have confidence when that day comes. And so help us God. Amen.

*MEDITATION:*

*For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?* (1 Peter 4:17-18 (KJV))

*LOVE THAT CORRECTS*

_Key Bible Text:_
*If you don't punish your children, you don't love them. If you do love them, you will correct them.* (Proverbs 13: 24 (GNB))

_Bible Insight:_

The Church needs to get used to the rebuke of the Lord. We are fat on "God loves me", and we are quick to forget that the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.”

Constant rebuke that is done in love will bring anyone into maturity.

This is the goal of Christ. That we may grow in him; until we all reach unity in the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.

Hebrew 12: 7-9
"If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?

But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?"

God help us.

*MEDITATION:*
*Remember that the LORD your God corrects and punishes you just as parents discipline their children.* (Deuteronomy 8:5 (GNB))

Jesus is described as the first born of the dead in Colossians 1:18 (KJV)-- *"And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD; that in all things he might have the preeminence."* This points to the fact that he is the first to have victory over death, a permanent resurrection from the dead without ever dying again.

The doctrine of the resurrection of the dead is one of the fundamental teachings of Jesus. Most anti christ religions always make this subject their greatest concern. They don't like to accept this truth so they fight it with everything they have.

Paul further argued extensively that if there is no resurrection of the dead, then christianity is a hoax, a religious scam to keep men under control. He didn't use these words but that's effectively what he means:

*For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.* (1 Corinthians 15:16-19 (KJV))

It is the power of resurrection that guarantees our victory over sin. The transforming power of God is continually working out itself in us, giving us newness of life, salvation from sin, salvation from sicknesses and diseases, etc. All of these flows from the power of the Holy Spirit which is able to make alive, to quicken and to restore.

*MEDITATION:*

*But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.* (1 Corinthians 15:20-22 (KJV))

*DAILY DEW 20TH/JULY/2021*

*The Fundamentals of the Faith* (IV)

_Key Bible Text:_
*Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of LAYING ON OF HANDS, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.* (Hebrews 6:2 (KJV))

*The Fundamentals of the Faith* (IV)

_Key Bible Text:_
*Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of LAYING ON OF HANDS, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.* (Hebrews 6:2 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

There is a doctrine of laying on of hands. Wow. This essentially means that this is much more of a big deal than we had even figured 🤔

Let's take a quick look at the subject more closely. First, observe that it comes after baptism, in the list. First, let's see this:

*Acts 8:18 (KJV) And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,...*

So we see that Holy Spirit power can flow through the laying on of hands. When one who is anointed lays their hands on another, power is released to work wonders.

*1 Timothy 4:14 (KJV) Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery.*

Gifts, virtues, grace, healing and so much are transferable through the laying on of hands. We should ensure that we don't take it lightly and that we don't settle for less.

Jesus declared that all who believes in Him, will do wonders with their hands. This should be heavy in our hearts.

*MEDITATION:*

*And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.* (Mark 16:17 - 18 (KJV)

*DAILY DEW 19TH/JULY/2021*

*What's Your Focus?*

_Key Bible Text:_
*For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost].* (Proverbs 23:7 (AMP))

*What's Your Focus?*

_Key Bible Text:_
*For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost].* (Proverbs 23:7 (AMP))

_Bible Insight:_

I’ve learnt one thing in life so far: what you focus on somehow expands. Focus on your business, invest your thoughts and imaginations on how to grow it, talk about it with your spouse and friends; and gradually but surely, it will expand.

On the other hand, spend your time on every gist in town and watch the uselessness of your life expand. You will know more gists and gossips and, by the law of attraction, you will attract people like you and your life will nosedive or at best stagnate.

The human mind is powerful to the extent that we focus and whether the focus is to the left or the right, your mind does not care. It will give you back, in multiple folds, what you are steadily planting in it.

This is why the Bible declares: guard your heart (mind) with all diligence for out of it are the issues or essence of life.

*MEDITATION:*
*Whenever you want to achieve something, keep your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit their target with their eyes closed.* -- Paulo Coelho

*Forgiveness & Faith*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.* (James 5:16 (KJV))

*Forgiveness & Faith*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.* (James 5:16 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

If you are trusting God for healing, asides from praying, there are three things you should do:

1. Forgive offences.
Even though you can be healed even when in unforgiveness, it is a door that will open a man up to demonic attacks. And it has the potential to hinder faith.

2. Keep your focus on the Word of God, especially as pertaining to healing.
Stop paying attention to your condition. Satan is an attention seeker! Faith or doubt is fed through focus. And it takes faith to possess your healing.

3. Hang around people who believe in healing. Their faith is contagious, and they carry an atmosphere for healing.
You don't want to be around people who talk down on healing or the miraculous. They will corrupt whatever faith you have if you listen to them long enough.

*MEDITATION:*
*Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.* (1 Peter 2:24 (KJV))

*The Fundamentals of the Faith* (III)

_Key Bible Text:_
*Of the DOCTRINE OF BAPTISMS, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgment.* (Hebrews 6:2 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

It seems a lot have changed about how water baptism is being taught and practiced. We are safe to assume that the baptism which Hebrews 6:2 refers to, is water baptism and not Holy Spirit baptism. This is because Hebrews 6:4 places the subject of the Holy Spirit as among the matters of teachings or pursuit of perfection.

Water baptism have been debated along different lines. One of them is whether it should be by immersion or not. Children are also claimed to be baptized at birth. The scriptures is sufficiently clear as to the place and purpose of water baptism. First, there is no doubt that Jesus himself submitted, preached and practiced full immersion water baptism. This should lay to rest any controversy whether it should be ideally by immersion or not.

Furthermore, all through scriptures, water baptism followed almost immediately one decides to place their faith in God, and have repented from dead works of sin. The ordering of these three -- repentance, faith and baptism is certainly sequential. Baptism is signifying that the believer have passed through death of Christ and have reason to a newness of life. And we must remember that there were no baptismal classes back in the 1st century church.

Have you been baptized since you started following Christ?

*MEDITATION:*
*Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.* (Romans 6:4 (KJV))
