*DAILY DEW 8/MARCH/2025* *ETERNAL LIFE* _Key Bible Text:_ *"But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name."* (John 20:31 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _The Purpose of John's Gospel_ The apostle John explicitly states the purpose of his gospel: to help people believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God. John's gospel is not just a historical account of Jesus' life, but a carefully crafted narrative designed to persuade readers of Jesus' divinity and His role as the Savior of humanity. _The Importance of Faith_ John emphasizes the importance of faith in Jesus Christ. He writes that believing in Jesus is the key to having life through His name. This verse highlights the central message of Christianity: that faith in Jesus Christ is the only way to experience eternal life and a personal relationship with God. John's gospel encourages readers to put their faith in Jesus, trusting in His power to forgive sins and grant eternal life. _The Promise of Eternal Life_ The verse concludes with a profound promise: that those who believe in Jesus will have life through His name. This promise is not limited to earthly life, but extends to eternal life in the presence of God. John's gospel assures readers that faith in Jesus Christ is the key to experiencing this eternal life, and that this life is available to all who put their trust in Him. _MEDITATION:_ *Believing in Jesus and receiving eternal life is the only wise way.

*DAILY DEW 7/MARCH/2025* *PUT DOUBT OUT* (3) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."* (John 20:28-29 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _Thomas' Confession_ Thomas, having seen the resurrected Jesus and having touched His wounds, makes a profound confession: "My Lord and my God." This declaration acknowledges Jesus' divinity and lordship, and it marks a turning point in Thomas' faith. He has moved from doubt and unbelief to a deep and abiding faith in Jesus Christ. _The Blessing of Faith_ Jesus' response to Thomas highlights the importance of faith. While Thomas believed because he saw, Jesus pronounces a blessing on those who believe without seeing. This blessing is not limited to the disciples or the early Christian community; it extends to all who have put their faith in Jesus Christ throughout history. This verse emphasizes the value and reward of trusting in God's word and promises, even when we don't have tangible evidence. _Lesson for Us_ The lesson from this verse is that faith is not about seeing or experiencing physical proof; it's about trusting in God's character and promises. We are blessed when we believe in Jesus Christ, not because we've seen Him with our physical eyes, but because we've put our trust in His word and promises. _MEDITATION:_ *May we cultivate a deeper faith in our Lord, trusting in His goodness and sovereignty, even when we don't have all the answers!* *#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 6/MARCH/2025* *PUT DOUBT OUT* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing."* (John 20:27 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _Jesus' Invitation to Thomas_ Jesus, aware of Thomas' doubts, invites him to come closer and investigate His resurrected body. Jesus offers Thomas the opportunity to touch His hands and side, to verify the reality of His resurrection. This invitation shows Jesus' willingness to accommodate Thomas' doubts and to provide him with the evidence he needs to believe. _Overcoming Doubt and Unbelief_ Jesus' words to Thomas, "be not faithless, but believing," highlight the importance of faith and trust in our relationship with God. Thomas' doubts and unbelief are not condemned, but rather, Jesus encourages him to move beyond them and to place his trust in the reality of the resurrection. This verse reminds us that faith is not about having all the answers, but about trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty. _Lesson for Us_ The lesson from this verse is that God is willing to meet us where we are, even in our doubts and unbelief. He invites us to come closer, to investigate, and to experience His presence and power for ourselves. _MEDITATION:_ *As we navigate our own doubts and uncertainties, may we remember Jesus' words to Thomas and may we cultivate a deeper trust and faith in our Lord!* *#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 5/MARCH/2025* *PUT DOUBT OUT* _Key Bible Text:_ *"The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe."* (John 20:25 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _Thomas' Doubt_ Thomas, one of Jesus' twelve apostles, had missed the previous appearance of Jesus to the other disciples. When they told him about their encounter with the risen Lord, Thomas was skeptical. He refused to believe unless he saw the physical evidence of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection for himself. Thomas wanted to see the nail prints in Jesus' hands, put his finger into the wounds, and thrust his hand into Jesus' side. _The Need for Evidence_ Thomas' demand for physical evidence highlights the natural human desire for proof and certainty. We often want to see and touch before we believe. However, this approach can limit our faith and understanding. Jesus would later tell Thomas, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed" (John 20:29). This emphasizes the importance of trusting in God's word and promises, even when we don't have physical evidence. _Lesson for Us_ The lesson from this verse is that faith is not solely based on physical evidence or tangible proof. While it's natural to seek assurance, our faith should ultimately rest on the word of God and the promises of Scripture. We can learn from Thomas' experience to trust in God's sovereignty and provision, even when we don't have all the answers or physical evidence. By doing so, we can grow in our faith and develop a deeper trust in our Lord. _MEDITATION:_ *We can learn from Thomas' experience to trust in God's sovereignty and provision, even when we don't have all the answers or physical evidence!!* *#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 4/MARCH/2025* *HERALDS OF FORGIVENESS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained."* (John 20:23 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _Authority to Forgive_ In this verse, Jesus is granting His disciples authority to forgive sins. This authority is not based on their own power or ability, but on Jesus' own authority and power. He had just shown them His resurrected body and had breathed the Holy Spirit into them, empowering them for their mission. Now, He's giving them the authority to declare forgiveness to those who repent. _The Ministry of Reconciliation_ This verse highlights the disciples' role in the ministry of reconciliation. As ambassadors of Christ, they are to declare forgiveness to those who turn to God in repentance. This is not about them having the power to forgive sins on their own, but about them being agents of God's forgiveness. They are to proclaim the Good News of forgiveness and reconciliation to a world in need. _Lesson for Us_ The lesson from this verse is that we, too, have a role in the ministry of reconciliation. As believers, we are called to be ambassadors of Christ, sharing the message of forgiveness and reconciliation with others. We are not the ones who forgive sins, but we are to declare God's forgiveness to those who repent. _MEDITATION:_ *May we take seriously our role in this ministry, sharing the Good News of forgiveness and reconciliation with a world in need!!* *#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 1/MARCH/2025* *TOUCH ME NOT!* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God."* (John 20: 17 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Jesus' instruction to Mary Magdalene, "Touch me not," may seem puzzling, but it highlights the significance of His ascension to the Father. Jesus was not yet in His glorified state, and His ascension was necessary to complete His mission. By telling Mary not to touch Him, Jesus was emphasizing the importance of His ascension and the change that was about to take place. Jesus' message to His brethren, "I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God," is a profound statement of the new relationship that believers have with God through Jesus. By using the phrase "my Father, and your Father," Jesus is emphasizing the familial relationship that believers have with God, and the access they have to Him through Jesus. This message is a testament to the completed work of Jesus on the cross and the new era of salvation that had begun. This verse also highlights the importance of obedience and mission. Jesus instructs Mary to go to His brethren and deliver a message, which she promptly does (John 20:18). This demonstrates the importance of obeying Jesus' instructions and fulfilling our mission as His followers. _MEDITATION:_ *As believers, we are called to share the message of Jesus with others and to fulfill our role in His mission to the world!!* *#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/FEBRUARY/2025* *THEY KNEW NOT!* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead."* (John 20: 9 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ The disciples' lack of understanding about Jesus' resurrection is highlighted in this verse. Despite Jesus' repeated predictions of His death and resurrection (Matthew 16:21, 17:22-23, 20:17-19), the disciples still did not grasp the significance of these events. This verse emphasizes the importance of understanding and applying Scripture to our lives. The disciples' ignorance of Scripture led to their confusion and unbelief when they encountered the empty tomb. If they had remembered Jesus' teachings about His resurrection, they would have been prepared for this event and would have had a deeper understanding of its significance. This verse teaches us the importance of knowing and applying Scripture to our lives, especially during times of uncertainty and confusion. This verse also highlights the importance of spiritual understanding and discernment. The disciples saw the empty tomb and the grave clothes, but they did not understand the significance of these events. It was not until Jesus appeared to them and explained the Scriptures that they understood the truth about His resurrection (Luke 24:13-35). This verse encourages us to seek spiritual understanding and discernment, and to rely on God's Word to guide us in times of uncertainty. _MEDITATION:_ *Three and a half years of teachings and emphasis. Yet, the disciples did not know nor understand when he was eventually crucified. Yet, you read the bible a few times and are already supposing or assuming that you have known the word enough.

*DAILY DEW 26/FEBRUARY/2025* *NICODEMUS!* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight."* (John 19: 39 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Nicodemus, a Pharisee and member of the Jewish ruling council, had previously come to Jesus at night, seeking answers about His teachings (John 3:1-21). Now, he boldly comes forward to show his respect and devotion to Jesus, even in death. By bringing a large quantity of expensive spices, Nicodemus demonstrates his love and appreciation for Jesus, and helps to prepare His body for burial. This verse highlights the transformation that had taken place in Nicodemus's life. Initially, he had come to Jesus in secret, afraid of being ostracized by his peers. However, as he grew in his understanding of Jesus' teachings, he became more confident in his faith, and eventually, he was willing to publicly identify himself with Jesus, even in the face of potential ridicule or persecution. The lesson from this verse is that true faith requires boldness and courage. As followers of Jesus, we are called to be willing to stand up for our beliefs, even if it means facing opposition or criticism. Nicodemus's example encourages us to be bold in our witness, and to demonstrate our love and devotion to Jesus, both in life and in death. _MEDITATION:_ *Like Peter, Nicodemus outgrew cowardice. We should too!* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 25/FEBRUARY/2025* *DO IT AFRAID!* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus."* (John 19: 38 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Joseph of Arimathaea's actions demonstrate a remarkable display of courage and devotion to Jesus. Despite being a secret disciple, Joseph risked his reputation and safety by openly asking Pilate for Jesus' body. This bold move highlights the transformative power of Jesus' teachings and the loyalty they inspired in His followers. Joseph's bravery serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Jesus' message. This verse also underscores the theme of redemption and restoration. By taking Jesus' body and preparing it for burial, Joseph ensured that Jesus received a dignified and respectful treatment, even in death. This act of kindness and compassion foreshadows the ultimate redemption and restoration that Jesus would accomplish through His resurrection. The lesson from this verse is that faithfulness and loyalty to Jesus often require courage and risk-taking. Joseph's example encourages us to be bold in our witness and to stand up for what we believe in, even if it means facing opposition or ridicule. As followers of Jesus, we are called to demonstrate our devotion to Him through tangible acts of love and service, just as Joseph did. _MEDITATION:_ *Being bold sometimes means ignoring the fear screaming in your head* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 24/FEBRUARY/2025* *CONSCIOUS EFFORT TO FULFILL SCRIPTURE!* _Key Bible Text:_ *"After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst."* (John 19: 28 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Jesus' statement "I thirst" may seem like a simple physical request, but it holds profound theological significance. By expressing His physical need, Jesus demonstrated His humanity and vulnerability. At the same time, this statement also underscored Jesus' deliberate and voluntary sacrifice on the cross. He was not just a victim of circumstance, but the willing Lamb of God, who gave Himself up for the sins of humanity. This verse also highlights Jesus' conscious effort to fulfill Scripture. By saying "I thirst," Jesus alluded to Psalm 22:15, which prophesied that the Messiah would experience extreme thirst during His crucifixion. This detail reinforces the idea that Jesus' death was a meticulously planned and executed event, orchestrated by God Himself to accomplish humanity's redemption. The lesson from this verse is that even in the midst of extreme suffering and vulnerability, Jesus remained focused on fulfilling His divine mission. His statement "I thirst" serves as a poignant reminder of His humanity and His willingness to endure the ultimate sacrifice for our sake. As followers of Jesus, we are called to emulate His selfless example, putting the needs of others before our own, and trusting in God's sovereign plan, even in the midst of adversity. _MEDITATION:_ *Normalize doing good but sometimes painful deeds that comply with positive fulfilment of scripture.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
