*DAILY DEW 28/JULY/2025* *The Danger of Overfamiliarity* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."* (Mark 6: 3-4) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 6:3-4, Jesus' hometown folks struggle to recognize His divine authority due to their familiarity with His earthly family and background. They see Him as "the carpenter, the son of Mary," rather than the Messiah. This passage highlights how overfamiliarity can lead to a lack of reverence and recognition of God's work. The people's reaction to Jesus demonstrates how familiarity can breed contempt. They were "offended at him," failing to see beyond their everyday interactions with Him. This incident serves as a reminder to approach God's work with humility and openness, rather than letting familiarity cloud our perception. Jesus' response, "A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house," underscores the challenge of being recognized as a vessel of God's power in familiar settings. This principle applies to our own lives, reminding us to be mindful of the tendency to overlook God's work in our midst due to familiarity. This passage encourages us to cultivate a sense of awe and reverence for God's work, even when it occurs in familiar contexts. By recognizing the potential for overfamiliarity to blind us to the divine, we can approach God's work with greater humility and openness. _MEDITATION_ *"How often we celebrate God's work in other circles other than our own very circle. We fall into the grip of overfamiliarity even before we realize it. Celebrate what God is doing in your midst."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_July,2025* ❤ *Facebook Link:* https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZXrcgLmwm/ Please follow *David Joshua Egbochuo* on Facebook for more positive impact contents.

*DAILY DEW 27/JULY/2025* *Faith Beyond Physical Appearances* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And when he was come in, he saith unto them, Why make ye this ado, and weep? the damsel is not dead, but sleepeth."* (Mark 5: 39) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 5:39, Jesus tells the mourners at Jairus' house, "The damsel is not dead, but sleepeth." This statement highlights Jesus' perspective on life and death, emphasizing His divine authority and power. To the mourners, the girl's condition seemed irreversible, but Jesus saw beyond the physical reality. Jesus' words demonstrate that He operates from a spiritual perspective, where death is not always the end but can be a transition. This perspective encourages believers to trust in God's power and promises, even when circumstances seem hopeless. Jesus' statement also foreshadows the girl's resurrection, showcasing His authority over life and death. This verse teaches us about the importance of faith that sees beyond physical appearances. Jesus' words to the mourners serve as a reminder to trust in God's power and sovereignty, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges. By faith, believers can experience God's miraculous intervention in their lives. In conclusion, Jesus' statement in Mark 5:39 encourages believers to adopt a spiritual perspective, trusting in God's power and authority. This faith can lead to miraculous outcomes and a deeper understanding of God's sovereignty over all circumstances. _MEDITATION_ *"Faith speaks from a different perspective that's beyond the physical situation or appearance.

*DAILY DEW 26/JULY/2025* *Protocol Faith vs Proactive Faith: Faith That Works* _Key Bible Text:_ *"As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe."* (Mark 5: 36) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 5:36, Jesus tells Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, "Be not afraid, only believe" after hearing that his daughter has died. This verse highlights the importance of faith in the face of adversity. Jairus had come to Jesus seeking healing for his daughter, and despite the delay and bad news, Jesus encourages him to maintain his faith. The context of this verse allows us to compare the approaches of Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood. While Jairus represents a more traditional and possibly anxious approach, seeking Jesus' direct intervention, the woman exemplifies faith through action, touching Jesus' garment in faith. Jesus' response to both individuals underscores the value of faith, whether expressed through direct request or tangible action. Jesus' words to Jairus emphasize the essence of faith: trusting in God's power and promise despite circumstances. Faith is not about the absence of challenges but about trusting God's ability to work through them. This lesson applies universally, encouraging believers to hold onto faith in the face of uncertainty and adversity. This passage teaches us about the importance of maintaining faith, especially when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges. Jesus' encouragement to Jairus serves as a reminder that faith can overcome fear and doubt, leading to miraculous outcomes. Both the woman's and Jairus' stories demonstrate that faith, whether expressed through action or trust, is powerful and recognized by Jesus. _MEDITATION_ *"There's a protocol faith and there is a proactive faith.

*DAILY DEW 25/JULY/2025* *Faith in Action* _Key Bible Text:_ *"When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in [her] body that she was healed of that plague."* (Mark 5: 27-29) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 5:27-29, a woman with a 12-year-old issue of bleeding touches Jesus' garment, believing that this act will bring her healing. This passage showcases the woman's faith and determination. Despite being considered unclean due to her condition, she pushes through the crowd to reach Jesus, demonstrating her desperation and trust in His power. The woman's decision to touch Jesus' garment highlights the significance of physical touch in biblical narratives. Her touch serves as a tangible expression of her faith, and Jesus' power responds to her action. This story illustrates that faith can be expressed in various ways, including through physical gestures. The passage notes that the woman was immediately healed after touching Jesus' garment (Mark 5:29). This instantaneous healing underscores Jesus' divine authority and power. The woman's physical healing also symbolizes the spiritual healing and restoration that Jesus offers to all people. This story teaches us about the importance of faith, determination, and trust in Jesus' power. The woman's experience serves as an example of how individuals can access Jesus' healing touch, even in the midst of challenges and obstacles. Her testimony also highlights Jesus' willingness to impart His power and bring restoration to those in need. _MEDITATION_ *"Faith does not wait for a special time.

*DAILY DEW 24/JULY/2025* *Share Your Testimony* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee."* (Mark 5: 18-19) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 5:18-19, Jesus heals a man possessed by demons and sends him back to his community to share his testimony. This passage highlights the importance of personal evangelism and sharing one's experiences of God's power and compassion. Jesus instructs the man to go home to his friends and tell them about the great things the Lord has done for him. The man's testimony serves as a powerful witness to the transformative power of Jesus' healing touch. By sharing his story, the man can inspire others to seek Jesus and experience similar transformation. This lesson emphasizes the value of personal testimony in spreading the message of God's love and redemption. Jesus' decision to send the man back to his community rather than keeping him by His side demonstrates His prioritization of ministry and evangelism. Jesus entrusts the man with a crucial role in sharing the Good News, illustrating the importance of involving others in the work of ministry. In conclusion, this passage teaches us about the importance of personal evangelism, the power of testimony, and prioritizing ministry. _MEDITATION_ *"Sharing our experiences of God's work in our lives, can inspire others and help us fulfill our role in spreading the message of redemption and love."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_July,2025* ❤ *Facebook Link:* https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZXrcgLmwm/ Please follow *David Joshua Egbochuo* on Facebook for more positive impact contents.

*DAILY DEW 23/JULY/2025* *Souls Over Possessions* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And they that saw [it] told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and [also] concerning the swine. And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts."* (Mark 5: 16-17) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 5:16-17, the people who witnessed the miracle of the demon-possessed man being freed told others about what happened, including the destruction of the pigs. However, instead of being grateful for the man's healing, the crowd asked Jesus to leave their area. This reaction highlights the value they placed on material possessions (the pigs) over the value of a human soul. In this passage, Jesus' actions demonstrate that He values the soul of one individual over the loss of material possessions, in this case, the pigs. By freeing the demon-possessed man, Jesus showed that the worth of a human being redeemed is greater than the value of earthly possessions. The crowd's request for Jesus to leave reveals their priorities. They were more concerned about their economic loss (the pigs) than the spiritual gain of one of their own being set free from demonic possession. This incident serves as a lesson in prioritizing eternal values over temporal ones. In conclusion, the passage highlights Jesus' valuation of human souls over material possessions. While the crowd prioritized their economic interests, Jesus demonstrated that the salvation of one individual is of greater worth. This lesson encourages believers to reevaluate their priorities, focusing on eternal values rather than temporal ones. _MEDITATION_ *"God can allow material possessions to be destroyed, but he cares more about the salvation of a soul."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_July,2025* ❤ *Facebook Link:* https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZXrcgLmwm/ Please follow *David Joshua Egbochuo* on Facebook for more positive impact contents.

*DAILY DEW 22/JULY/2025* *Trusting God Even In the Storms* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?"* (Mark 4: 37-38) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:37-38, Jesus and his disciples encounter a great storm on the lake while crossing in a ship. The disciples, fearing for their lives, wake Jesus, who is sleeping, and ask if he cares that they perish. This passage highlights the contrast between Jesus' calm trust in God and the disciples' fear and doubt. Faith in the Midst of Turmoil The disciples' question, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" reveals their lack of faith in Jesus' ability to care for them in the midst of the storm. This incident teaches the importance of trusting Jesus, even when circumstances seem overwhelming. Jesus' Power over Nature The passage sets the stage for Jesus' demonstration of power over nature, as he calms the storm. This miracle showcases Jesus' divine authority and ability to bring peace and safety to those who trust him. In conclusion, the story of the storm on the lake teaches the importance of trusting Jesus in the midst of life's challenges. It encourages believers to have faith in Jesus' power and care, even when circumstances seem impossible. By trusting Jesus, believers can experience peace and safety, knowing that he is in control. _MEDITATION_ *"Some storms come our way despite our obedience to God.

*DAILY DEW 21/JULY/2025* *The Parable of the Mustard Seed* _Key Bible Text:_ *"[It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it."* (Mark 4: 31-32) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:31-32, Jesus teaches about the kingdom of God using the analogy of a mustard seed. He compares the kingdom to a small seed that, when sown, grows into a large plant, providing shelter for birds. This parable highlights the contrast between the kingdom's humble beginnings and its eventual grandeur. The mustard seed represents the small and seemingly insignificant start of Jesus' ministry, which would eventually grow into a vast and expansive kingdom. This parable encourages faith and hope, reminding believers that even the smallest beginnings can lead to remarkable outcomes through God's power. The growth of the mustard seed into a large plant symbolizes the kingdom's expansion and its impact on the world. The image of birds lodging in its branches suggests that the kingdom will provide refuge, shelter, and sustenance for many. This parable emphasizes the kingdom's universal scope and its invitation to all people. In conclusion, the parable of the mustard seed teaches that the kingdom of God, though starting small and seemingly insignificant, will grow and have a profound impact on the world. It encourages believers to trust in God's power and promises, recognizing that even the smallest beginnings can lead to extraordinary outcomes. _MEDITATION_ *"The Kingdom of God is God's greatest accomplishment on earth and hereafter.

But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come."* (Mark 4: 28-29) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:28-29, Jesus teaches about the kingdom of God using the analogy of a seed growing into a harvest. The passage describes the natural process of growth, from the blade to the ear and finally to the full corn in the ear. The parable highlights God's sovereignty in the growth and harvest of His kingdom. Just as the earth produces fruit naturally, God's kingdom grows through His divine power. The passage also emphasizes the importance of patience and trust, recognizing that God is at work in the growth process. The passage also notes that when the fruit is ripe, the harvest comes.

*DAILY DEW 19/JULY/2025* *Trust The Divine Process* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how."* (Mark 4: 26-27) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:26-27, Jesus teaches that the kingdom of God is like a seed that grows secretly, without the farmer's knowledge of how it happens. This parable highlights the mysterious and supernatural nature of God's kingdom. The passage emphasizes God's sovereignty in the growth of His kingdom. Just as a seed grows without human understanding, God's work in the world is often mysterious and beyond human comprehension.
