*DAILY DEW 2/JANUARY/2025* *OLD PRINCIPLES FOR NEW ACHIEVEMENTS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. AND YE SHALL EAT OLD STORE, AND BRING FORTH THE OLD BECAUSE OF THE NEW."* (Leviticus 26:9-10 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ No new achievements come about without engagements with the old. For new feats to be achieved, old fears must be overcomed. For new victories to be won, old defeats must be embraced, confronted and learned from. For a better, newer version of yourself to emerge, old principles and teachings must be revisited and applied or reapplied or revised. All the principles that produces great new achievements and phases are already revealed since time memorial. They are not new. The new year will be really new only when old lessons, old teachings, old principles, old methods are revisited, applied or reapplied, and remodeled or revised. _MEDITATION:_ *Nothing new comes except from something old.* Happy & Joyful New Year to all our readers.

Amen. *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 1/JANUARY/2025* *WHAT IS NEW?* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert."* (Isaiah 43:19 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Like God, one must decide to make something new. Nothing truly new comes about without the active role of someone or some people. As we cross into a new year, please take time to assess the preview year and be sure of what happened. People who cannot sit down and study what happened, how it happened, why it happened, and what could have happened or not, are usually left behind in life. Selah. When you know the dynamics of happenings, it places you in a position to make them happen or not. When you decide that this year or any year at all, will be better, then you must track all or most of the things that must be done to make the year better. _MEDITATION:_ *God makes things new for those who take responsibility to participate in the new things that God is making.* Happy & Joyful New Year to all our readers. Experience All Round Increase in Jesus name. Amen. *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 31/DECEMBER/2024* *HUNTING THE PERISHING* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."* (Luke 19:10 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Jesus the son of man came to this world "to seek and to save that which was lost." And in very clear terms has sent us to do likewise:- John 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you. "As [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you." That means as He came to seek and to save that which was lost, so must we do too. It is not an exegeration to say that there is no other primary or major objective for us in this life other than this-- to seek and to save that which was lost. Everything we do should and must revolve around this primary objective. Otherwise, how can we say we are being more like Christ, talk less of growing in Christ? This is why every December, while the world claims to celebrate the birth of Christ, we not only remind ourselves of the reason for his coming, we also emulate it as we engage in Hunting The Perishing-- A program targetted at fulfiling the great commission through short term missions. _MEDITATION:_ *The reason for the season is Christ and so the reason for his coming must be at the center of the reason for this season.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 30/DECEMBER/2024* *Synergy MISSIONS* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *"He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth."* (Luke 11:23 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Jesus repeated that principle when some disgruntled fellow accused Him of casting out demons by the aid of devil. Jesus answered that it was not possible for satan to cast out satan because every house divided against itself cannot stand. While this principle rose in response to such failed attempt at demonizing the power of Jesus, it is nonetheless a very important principle in missions. You don't cast out devils in the nations without the joint efforts of believers across nations. Anyone who is not actively gathering in souls by means of joint efforts in missions is actually scattering. It is not possible to be neutral. Neutrality is not only incriminating but an act of sabotage and treason against God's kingdom. Any sign of indifference is an unconscious act of scattering when one is supposed to be gathering with Christ. Unfortunately, many believers are in this category of indifference towards missions. By their indifference towards missions, they unwittingly are scattering God's harvest and causing shame! _MEDITATION:_ *Proverbs 10:5 He that gathereth in summer [is] a wise son: [but] he that sleepeth in harvest [is] a son that causeth shame.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2024* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 29/DECEMBER/2024* *Synergy MISSIONS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And John answered and said, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name; and we forbad him, because he followeth not with us. And Jesus said unto him, Forbid [him] not: for he that is not against us is for us."* (Luke 9:49-50 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ JESUS will not have his disciples forbid someone casting out devils in His name because the person was not among those named disciples or directly instructed by Him. His reason was simple: "HE THAT IS NOT AGAINST US is for us". This buttresses the synergy principle of MISSIONS. The Missions that must take the Gospel to the ends of the earth is the one that every believer considers themselves as stake holders. The laborers that are needed in the harvest/missions fields are those who do the work first as for the Lord-- and not to make a name for themselves. Missions succeeds when everyone identifies with it. This is the meaning of phrases like "Every Christian, a missionary". _MEDITATION:_ *In actual sense, not all Christians are missionaries but all Christians must live with a missionary mindset, missionary responsibility and missions consciousness* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2024* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 28/DECEMBER/2024* *PRAYER WATCH* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly [is] great, but the labourers [are] few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest."* (Luke 10:2 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ One of the specific things we are told and taught to pray for IS for increase of labourers into the harvest fields. A great harvest should enjoy great labour of many labourers. But unfortunately in this particular harvest, labourers are lacking. And God asks us to pray for their provision. One response will be to pray. And to pray for more labourers. But who are these laborers? Labourers are witnesses, missionaries, ministers of the Gospel, financial partners, and intercessors. Another response will be to take the challenge first, to be an answer to the prayer. How can you be praying for more labourers when you yourself have not taken up a part in the labour? _MEDITATION:_ *When last did you pray asking God to send laborers into the harvest field?! And have you taken a part yet?* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_DECEMBER,2024* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 27/DECEMBER/2024* *PRAYER WATCH* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour?"* (Mark 14:37 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ ANOTHER hallmark of Christianity is practicing WATCHFULNESS in prayer! Sometimes, we read of times Jesus expressed an emphatic need from his disciples. In this case it was the need to keep watch with him in prayer for just an hour! Prayer is an invitation to partner with God in what he is doing on earth. When you pray, you are partnering with God to achieve his purposes on earth. _MEDITATION:_ *If Jesus asked one favor of you, will you do it!? Well then, he asks you now. For he is still interceding at the right hand of the Father. Let's join him then, to keep watch in prayer, even if for an hour-- or less!* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_DECEMBER,2024* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 26/DECEMBER/2024* *REPENT-- Don't PRETEND* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And Peter remembered the word of Jesus, which said unto him, Before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice. And he went out, and wept bitterly."* (Matthew 26:75 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ ANOTHER hallmark of Christianity is practicing REPENTANCE! IF God's word does not move you to repentance when you find that you are going contrary to its directions, you are not a child of God. Period. A true believer is one who takes correction from God's word & is quick to repent. Don't pretend about whatever you have done that is against God's word! Don't think it does not matter. If God's word cannot change you, you have no part in Christ. _MEDITATION:_ *Genuine Repentance Is the litmus test of authentic Christianity* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_DECEMBER,2024* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 25/DECEMBER/2024* *DENY SELF--- NOT CHRIST* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Peter said unto him, Though I should die with thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewise also said all the disciples."* (Matthew 26:35 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ ANOTHER hallmark of Christianity is NOT DENYING CHRIST BUT SELF! A believer will always be placed among two options all through life-- deny self or deny Christ! Unfortunately, you can't be free from this two-- you either obey one or the other. When you deny self, you are obeying Christ. When you obey or follow self or flesh, in a sense, you are denying Christ. Peter indulged for a moment in the act of self preservation, so he thought. He distanced and disassociated himself from Christ because he was consumed with thoughts of fear of being arrested and dealt with as Christ was. In the end, while confessing like Peter did (in Matthew 26:35) is actually good, it is not enough. Peter told Jesus he would never deny him but Christ knowing all things, forwarned him. He should have been more careful. Thank God! When Peter realized he had fallen into the betrayal Jesus foretold, he simply repented genuinely. _MEDITATION:_ *Genuine Repentance Is Better Than Pretence* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_DECEMBER,2024* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 24/DECEMBER/2024* *NO OFFENCE AGAINST CHRIST* (GOD IS NOT YOUR PROBLEM) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Peter answered and said unto him, Though all [men] shall be offended because of thee, [yet] will I never be offended?"* (Matthew 26:33 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ ANOTHER hallmark of Christianity is NEVER TAKING OFFENCE AGAINST CHRIST! LIFE will push you to the wall. Challenges will attack you like an armed robber. A lot will happen that will want to make you question God or lose faith in God or get angry at God. But never never never let anything that life throws at you make you get offended with God. Apart from it being a useless or unhelpful reaction towards life's challenges, it actually makes the situation worse. Because it is okay(normal) for life to be against you, while God is on your side. But if life is against you and you also allow the pressure to make you get angry with God, then life truly is against you and you are against yourself. What other hope do you have outside of Christ? When life appears hard and difficult to understand, remember that God is not against you. _MEDITATION:_ *Remember Jesus' response to John the Baptist in Matthew 11:6, "And blessed is [he], whosoever shall not be offended in me."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_DECEMBER,2024* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
