*DAILY DEW 19/APRIL/2025* *AND DESIRED A MURDERER* _Key Bible Text:_ *"But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you."* (Acts 3: 14 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ In Acts 3:14, Peter is preaching to the crowd after healing the lame man. He highlights their role in rejecting Jesus, the Holy One and the Just, and instead choosing to release Barabbas, a murderer. _Contrast and Consequences_ This verse emphasizes the stark contrast between Jesus' innocence and Barabbas' guilt. By denying Jesus and preferring a murderer, the people demonstrated their flawed values and priorities. Peter's words serve as a reminder of the consequences of rejecting Jesus and the importance of acknowledging Him as the Holy One and the Just. _Call to Reflection_ Peter's statement invites the crowd to reflect on their actions and consider the implications of their choices.

*DAILY DEW 18/APRIL/2025* *Whom Ye Delivered Up* _Key Bible Text:_ *"The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go."* (Acts 3: 13 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _Context and Lesson_ In Acts 3:13, Peter is preaching to the crowd after healing the lame man. He emphasizes that the God of their ancestors has glorified His Son Jesus, whom they delivered up and denied in the presence of Pilate. _"Whom Ye Delivered Up"_ This phrase highlights the culpability of the Jewish leaders and people in Jesus' crucifixion. Peter boldly confronts his audience, pointing out their role in rejecting and handing Jesus over to be crucified, despite Pilate's intention to release Him. This serves as a reminder of humanity's responsibility in Jesus' death. _Call to Repentance_ By acknowledging their wrongdoing, Peter sets the stage for a call to repentance. He skillfully uses the crowd's familiarity with their own history and Scriptures to point them toward Jesus, emphasizing God's glorification of Him. This approach allows Peter to transition into a message of hope, forgiveness, and salvation through Jesus Christ. _MEDITATION:_ *"The Good Friday is a good time to reflect on the sacrifice Christ made for you. Recognize that our collective sin contributed to His suffering and death. Consider how His sacrifice has impacted your life, and express heartfelt gratitude for His boundless love and redemption!"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_APRIL,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 17/APRIL/2025* *WHY LOOK YE SO EARNESTLY ON US* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?"* (Acts 3: 12 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _Context and Lesson_ The context of Acts 3:12 is the healing of a lame man at the temple gate by Peter and John (Acts 3:1-10). When the crowd gathers in amazement, Peter seizes the opportunity to preach, redirecting their attention from himself and John to the true source of the miracle: Jesus Christ. _Redirecting Attention_ Peter's response emphasizes that the healing was not due to their own power or holiness but rather God's power working through Jesus Christ. This redirection of attention highlights the importance of pointing people to Jesus and the Gospel, rather than seeking to draw attention to oneself. _Seizing Opportunities_ This verse demonstrates Peter's willingness to seize opportunities to preach and share the Gospel. By using the miraculous healing as a teaching moment, Peter effectively communicates the message of salvation and glorifies Jesus Christ. This incident serves as a model for believers to recognize opportunities to share their faith and point others to Jesus. _MEDITATION:_ *"RECOGNIZE opportunities to preach using your wins, testimonies, miracles and achievements as a 'pulpit' for preaching Christ!"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_APRIL,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 15/APRIL/2025* *RISE UP AND WALK* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ancle bones received strength."* (Acts 3: 7 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _Lesson from Acts 3:7_ In Acts 3:7, Peter's physical act of taking the lame man by the right hand and lifting him up demonstrates a powerful lesson in faith. This action symbolizes Peter's trust in God's power and his willingness to take a step of faith. _Contextual Background_ The context is the encounter between Peter, John, and the lame man at the temple gate. Peter's words in verse 6, "In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk," are followed by this tangible demonstration of faith. By lifting the man up, Peter is essentially saying, "Let's see God's promise fulfilled." _Angle of Faith_ The angle of faith demonstrated here is one of active trust. Peter doesn't just pray or declare healing; he physically acts out his faith. By taking the lame man by the hand and lifting him up, Peter shows that faith involves action and tangible demonstration of trust in God's power. This act of faith releases God's power, and the man is immediately healed. _MEDITATION:_ *"After declaring, 'Rise Up and Walk' to any limitations in your life, go ahead and act like you believe it!* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_APRIL,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 14/APRIL/2025* *RISE UP AND WALK* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk."* (Acts 3: 6 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _Lesson from Acts 3:6_ In Acts 3:6, Peter's response to the lame man's request for alms reveals a profound lesson. Despite lacking material wealth, Peter offers what he has – the power of Jesus Christ. This encounter showcases the apostles' reliance on spiritual resources rather than earthly riches. _Contextual Background_ The context is Peter and John's encounter with a lame man at the temple gate. The man asks for alms, but Peter, instead of giving money, heals him in the name of Jesus Christ. This miracle demonstrates the apostles' authority and the power of faith. _Key Takeaway_ The lesson here is that true power and value lie not in material possessions but in spiritual resources. Peter's willingness to share what he has – the name and power of Jesus – highlights the importance of faith and spiritual wealth over earthly riches. This incident showcases the transformative power of faith and the apostles' commitment to spreading the Gospel. _MEDITATION:_ *"In the name of Jesus, may everything in your life suffering limitations, 'Rise Up and Walk'!* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_APRIL,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

And the Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved."* (Acts 2: 47 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _A Community of Praise_ In Acts 2:47, we see the early Christians "praising God" and "having favour with all the people." This praise and worship were a natural outpouring of their hearts, reflecting their gratitude and adoration for God's work in their lives. Their praise was also a witness to those around them, demonstrating the transformative power of their faith. _Favour with God and Man_ The verse notes that the early Christians had "favour with all the people." This favour wasn't just a result of their good deeds or social status, but rather a manifestation of God's blessing and approval. As they walked in obedience to God, they experienced favour with both God and man, which helped to create a positive reputation for the church. _The Lord's Sovereign Hand_ The final part of the verse highlights the Lord's sovereign hand in the growth of the church. "The Lord added to the church daily such as should be saved" emphasizes God's active role in drawing people to Himself. This verse reminds us that salvation is ultimately a work of God, and that He is the One who brings people into His family. The early church's growth was a testament to God's power and grace at work in their lives. _MEDITATION:_ *"May The Lord add to the church daily such as should be saved, in Jesus name.

This joy was likely a result of their newfound faith and their sense of community with one another. Their generosity was also evident in their willingness to share their resources and meals with one another. _The Importance of Community_ This verse emphasizes the importance of community in the life of a believer.

*DAILY DEW 9/APRIL/2025* *MANY WONDERS AND SIGNS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And fear came upon every soul: and many wonders and signs were done by the apostles."* (Acts 2: 43 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _A Sense of Awe and Reverence_ In Acts 2:43, we see that "fear came upon every soul" as a result of the apostles' ministry. This fear wasn't a negative emotion, but rather a sense of awe and reverence for the power of God. The apostles' ability to perform "many wonders and signs" demonstrated the authenticity of their message and the presence of God among them. _The Power of God at Work_ The wonders and signs performed by the apostles served as a testament to the power of God at work among them. These miracles weren't just random events, but rather a manifestation of God's presence and approval of the apostles' ministry. The people were witnessing the supernatural, and it had a profound impact on their perception of the apostles and their message. _The Impact on the Community_ The combination of fear, wonders, and signs created a sense of excitement and curiosity within the community.

*DAILY DEW 3/APRIL/2025* *THAT SAME JESUS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.."* (Acts 2: 36 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ The context of Acts 2:36 is Peter's sermon on the day of Pentecost, where he addressed the crowd of Jewish people gathered in Jerusalem. Peter's message was clear: Jesus, whom they had crucified, was indeed the long-awaited Messiah, the Lord and Christ. This declaration was a bold statement, as it confronted the crowd with their complicity in Jesus' death. The lesson from this verse is one of recognition and acknowledgment. Peter called upon the house of Israel to recognize Jesus as both Lord and Christ, acknowledging their past mistakes and accepting the truth about Jesus' identity. This recognition is not just a matter of intellectual assent but also involves a deep sense of repentance and surrender. The implications of this verse are profound. By acknowledging Jesus as Lord and Christ, we are, in effect, surrendering our lives to His authority and lordship. This recognition is the first step towards a deeper relationship with God and a transformed life. _MEDITATION:_ *"As we reflect on this verse, we are challenged to examine our own understanding of Jesus and our willingness to submit to His lordship."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_APRIL,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
