*DAILY DEW 2/APRIL/2025* *BY THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Therefore being by the right hand of God exalted, and having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this, which ye now see and hear."* (Acts 2: 33 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Peter's sermon reaches its climax as he describes Jesus' exaltation to the right hand of God. This phrase, "by the right hand of God exalted," emphasizes Jesus' enthronement and His position of authority and power. Peter's audience would have understood this as a reference to Psalm 110:1, where David writes about the Messiah being seated at God's right hand. The phrase "having received of the Father the promise of the Holy Ghost" highlights the Father's role in sending the Holy Spirit. Jesus, now exalted, has received this promise from the Father and has poured out the Holy Spirit upon His followers. This verse underscores the Trinity's involvement in the salvation event: the Father sends the Spirit, Jesus pours out the Spirit, and the Spirit empowers believers. The lesson from this verse is that Jesus' exaltation and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit are intimately connected. As Jesus is enthroned, He sends the Holy Spirit to empower His followers. _MEDITATION:_ *"This emphasizes the importance of understanding the Holy Spirit's role in the life of believers and recognizing Jesus' authority and power in sending the Spirit.

*DAILY DEW 1/APRIL/2025* *IT WAS NOT POSSIBLE* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Him, being delivered by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by wicked hands have crucified and slain: Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it."* (Acts 2: 23-24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Peter's sermon takes a somber turn as he confronts his audience with their role in Jesus' crucifixion. He emphasizes that Jesus' death was not a random event, but rather it was part of God's predetermined plan. The phrase "determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God" highlights the sovereignty of God, even in the midst of human wickedness. Despite the gravity of their sin, Peter doesn't leave his audience without hope. He declares that God raised Jesus from the dead, loosening the pains of death. This resurrection is not just a historical event, but also a theological statement: Jesus' victory over death demonstrates His power and authority. The phrase "it was not possible that he should be holden of it" emphasizes that death had no claim on Jesus. The lesson from this verse is that God's sovereignty and humanity's sinfulness are intertwined, yet God's power and redemption ultimately triumph. Peter's message underscores the importance of acknowledging our role in Jesus' death, while also recognizing God's ultimate plan of salvation. _MEDITATION:_ *"This passage encourages believers to trust in God's sovereignty, even in the midst of adversity, and to rejoice in Jesus' victory over death."* *#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 31/MARCH/2025* *BY MIRACLES AND WONDERS AND SIGNS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Ye men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man approved of God among you by miracles and wonders and signs, which God did by him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also know."* (Acts 2: 22 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Peter's sermon takes a turn as he addresses his fellow Israelites, drawing their attention to Jesus of Nazareth. He emphasizes that Jesus was "approved of God" through the miracles, wonders, and signs that God performed through Him. This endorsement from God serves as a powerful validation of Jesus' ministry and message. The phrase "in the midst of you" highlights the fact that Jesus' ministry was not some distant event, but rather it occurred in the presence of the very people Peter is addressing. The Israelites had witnessed Jesus' miracles and teachings firsthand, and Peter appeals to their personal knowledge and experience. This emphasizes the importance of eyewitness testimony and personal encounter with Jesus. Peter's message underscores the importance of recognizing Jesus as the One sent by God, rather than just a human teacher or prophet. By acknowledging Jesus' divine approval, the Israelites (and believers today) can place their faith in Him as the Savior and Lord. _MEDITATION:_ *"The lesson from this verse is that Jesus' credentials as the Messiah were demonstrated through His miraculous works, which were empowered by God."* *#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 30/MARCH/2025* *WHOSOEVER SHALL CALL* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."* (Acts 2: 21 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Peter's sermon on the Day of Pentecost reaches its climax with this verse, where he emphasizes the simplicity and universality of salvation. Quoting from Joel 2:32, Peter declares that anyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved. This message is a direct response to the crowd's question, "What shall we do?" (Acts 2:37), providing a clear call to action. The phrase "whosoever shall call" underscores the inclusive nature of God's salvation. It doesn't matter who you are, where you come from, or what you've done – salvation is available to everyone. This verse eliminates any notion of exclusivity or elitism, emphasizing that God's offer of salvation is open to all people. In this context, "calling on the name of the Lord" means more than just uttering words; it involves a genuine turning to God in faith and repentance. _MEDITATION:_ *"Peter's message emphasizes the importance of responding to God's offer of salvation, not just intellectually, but also with a willingness to surrender one's life to Him."* *#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 29/MARCH/2025* *BEFORE THAT GREAT AND NOTABLE DAY* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke: The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come."* (Acts 2: 19-20 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ The context of Acts 2:19-20 is Peter's sermon on the Day of Pentecost, where he continues to quote from Joel 2:30-31. Peter is emphasizing the significance of the events unfolding before their eyes, particularly the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. He warns his audience that before the "great and notable day of the Lord" arrives, there will be dramatic and ominous signs. The lesson from this verse is that God's judgment and redemption are often preceded by visible signs and wonders. The text describes cosmic disturbances, including blood, fire, smoke, and celestial darkness. These signs serve as warnings, calling people to repentance and preparation for the Lord's return. Believers must now more than ever be aware of these signs and remain vigilant, living holy lives in anticipation of Christ's return. The reference to the "great and notable day of the Lord" is a clear allusion to the Second Coming of Christ. Peter's message emphasizes the urgency of responding to God's offer of salvation before it's too late. _MEDITATION:_ *"As believers, we must take heed of these signs and warnings, using them as opportunities to share the Gospel with others and to live lives that reflect our hope in Christ's return."* *#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 28/MARCH/2025* *IT SHALL COME TO PASS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:"* (Acts 2: 17-18 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Acts 2:17-18 is Peter's sermon on the Day of Pentecost, where he quotes Joel 2:28-32 to explain the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Peter emphasizes that this event marks the beginning of the "last days," a period characterized by God's Spirit being poured out on all people. The lesson from this verse is that God's Spirit is available to everyone, regardless of age, gender, or social status. The text specifically mentions sons, daughters, young men, old men, servants, and handmaidens, indicating that the Holy Spirit's empowerment is inclusive and democratized. This challenges traditional notions of spiritual hierarchy and emphasizes the equal access to God's presence and power. The outpouring of the Holy Spirit enables believers to prophesy, see visions, and dream dreams. This implies that the Spirit's empowerment is not just for personal edification but also for ministry and service. _MEDITATION:_ *"As believers, we are called to be vessels of the Holy Spirit, using our gifts and abilities to build up the Body of Christ and extend God's kingdom."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MARCH,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 27/MARCH/2025* *This is That* _Key Bible Text:_ *"But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words: But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel."* (Acts 2: 14, 16 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Peter, empowered by the Holy Spirit, stood up with the eleven apostles and addressed the crowd gathered in Jerusalem. He began by getting everyone's attention, saying, "Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words" (Acts 2:14). Peter's boldness and clarity in communication serve as a model for effective evangelism and public speaking. Peter then proceeded to explain the phenomenon of the Holy Spirit's outpouring, quoting the prophet Joel (Acts 2:16). By referencing Scripture, Peter provided a biblical framework for understanding the events unfolding before their eyes. This approach demonstrates the importance of grounding our message and experiences in the Word of God, ensuring that our words and actions align with biblical truth. The lesson from this verse is the importance of bold, Spirit-empowered communication and biblical grounding in our witness. As believers, we are called to share the Gospel message with clarity, confidence, and conviction, just like Peter. By relying on the Holy Spirit's empowerment and staying rooted in Scripture, we can effectively communicate the message of salvation to a world in need. _MEDITATION:_ *"May we be rooted in Scriptures, guided by Scriptures and empowered by the truth of Scriptures"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MARCH,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 26/MARCH/2025* *The Power for Life & Ministry* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance."* (Acts 2: 4 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ The descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples, as described in Acts 2:4, marked a pivotal moment in the history of the early church. The Spirit's arrival empowered the disciples to speak in other tongues, enabling them to communicate the Gospel message to people from diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds. This miraculous event fulfilled Jesus' promise to send the Holy Spirit as a helper and advocate (John 14:26). The lesson from this verse is the importance of the Holy Spirit's empowerment in sharing the Gospel. The disciples, despite their previous failures and fears, were transformed into bold and effective witnesses through the Spirit's anointing. This emphasizes the need for believers to rely on the Holy Spirit's power and guidance in their evangelistic & ministry & life efforts, rather than relying solely on their own abilities. Furthermore, this verse highlights the inclusive and universal nature of the Gospel message. The disciples' ability to speak in other tongues allowed them to transcend linguistic and cultural barriers, demonstrating that the Gospel is for all people, regardless of their background or nationality. This serves as a reminder to the church today to prioritize evangelism and discipleship among diverse populations, ensuring that the Gospel message is accessible and inclusive for all. _MEDITATION:_ *"Remind the church today to prioritize evangelism and discipleship among diverse populations, ensuring that the Gospel message is accessible and inclusive for all"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MARCH,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 25/MARCH/2025* *Replacing Those Who Fall Out* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Beginning from the baptism of John, unto that same day that he was taken up from us, must one be ordained to be a witness with us of his resurrection."* (Acts 1: 22 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ In Acts 1:22, Peter emphasizes the importance of selecting a witness who has been with Jesus from the beginning of His ministry, specifically from the baptism of John. This requirement ensures that the new apostle has a deep understanding of Jesus' teachings, miracles, and ultimately, His resurrection. By choosing someone who has been a part of Jesus' inner circle, the disciples can ensure continuity and authenticity in their witness. The lesson from this verse is the importance of personal experience and firsthand knowledge in sharing the Gospel. The disciples recognized that a genuine witness must have a deep, personal understanding of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. This principle remains relevant today, as believers are called to share their personal experiences and testimonies of God's work in their lives. Furthermore, this verse highlights the significance of continuity and succession in the spread of the Gospel. The disciples were intentional about selecting a new apostle who could carry on the legacy of Jesus' teachings and ministry. This mindset is essential for the church today, as we strive to pass on the baton of faith to future generations and ensure that the Gospel message continues to spread. _MEDITATION:_ *"In replacing leaders, we must select faithful men who understand the mandate we are called into"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MARCH,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 24/MARCH/2025* *Unity & Harmony* _Key Bible Text:_ *"These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren."* (Acts 1: 14 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ The early Christian church was marked by unity and harmony, as evident in Acts 1:14. The disciples, women, Mary the mother of Jesus, and Jesus' brethren all came together in one accord to pray and make supplications. This unity was not coincidental, but rather a deliberate choice to put aside individual differences and focus on their shared faith. The lesson from this verse is the importance of unity and collective prayer in the life of believers. When believers come together in one accord, they create a powerful atmosphere that invites God's presence and intervention. This unity also fosters a sense of community and support, which is essential for spiritual growth and perseverance. In today's church, we can learn from the example of the early Christians. We should strive to create an atmosphere of unity and harmony, where believers can come together to pray, worship, and support one another. By doing so, we can experience the power of collective prayer and witness the transformative work of God in our lives and communities. _MEDITATION:_ *"In times of uncertainties, transitions, and major changes, united prayer and fellowship is the next best thing to do"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MARCH,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
