*DAILY DEW 9/JULY/2025* *The Parable of the Sower* (4) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred."* (Mark 4: 8) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:8, Jesus teaches the Parable of the Sower, where some seeds fall on good ground, yielding a bountiful harvest. This parable represents those who receive God's Word with an open and receptive heart, allowing it to take root and produce fruit. The varying yields (thirty, sixty, and a hundredfold) illustrate the different levels of fruitfulness that can result from a genuine relationship with God. The good ground in this parable symbolizes a heart that is receptive, humble, and willing to obey God's Word. When we cultivate a deep and abiding relationship with God, we can expect to bear fruit in our lives. This fruitfulness can manifest in various ways, such as sharing the Gospel with others, demonstrating love and kindness, or living a life that honors God. This parable challenges us to examine the condition of our hearts and our responsiveness to God's Word. Are we like the good ground, allowing God's Word to take root and produce fruit in our lives? By surrendering to God and allowing His Word to guide us, we can experience a fruitful and fulfilling life that brings glory to Him. _MEDITATION:_ *"When God's Word meets a receptive heart, productivity and fruitfulness follow.

*DAILY DEW 8/JULY/2025* *The Parable of the Sower* (3) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And some fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up, and choked it, and it yielded no fruit."* (Mark 4: 7) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:7, Jesus teaches the Parable of the Sower, where some seeds fall among thorns. The thorns represent the worries, riches, and pleasures of life that choke out the Word of God, preventing it from bearing fruit. This parable warns against allowing worldly concerns to dominate our lives, causing us to lose focus on our spiritual growth. The thorns in this parable symbolize the distractions and temptations that can suffocate our spiritual lives. When we prioritize material possessions, wealth, or worldly desires over our relationship with God, we risk losing the fruitfulness that comes from following Him. Jesus' teaching encourages us to be mindful of the things that can choke out our spiritual growth. This parable challenges us to evaluate our priorities and ensure that our relationship with God remains paramount. By focusing on eternal things rather than temporary distractions, we can cultivate a fruitful spiritual life. Jesus' words remind us to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, trusting that He will provide for our needs. This parable invites us to reflect on our own lives: Are there thorns that are choking out our spiritual growth? Are we prioritizing our relationship with God above all else? By recognizing and removing the distractions that hinder our spiritual progress, we can experience the abundant life that Jesus offers. _MEDITATION:_ *"Don't let thorns of distraction, complacency, or bad habits suffocate your growth. Stay focused, stay fruitful."* *#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 7/JULY/2025* *The Parable of the Sower* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And some fell on stony ground, where it had not much earth; and immediately it sprang up, because it had no depth of earth."* (Mark 4: 5) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:5, Jesus teaches the Parable of the Sower, illustrating the different responses to God's Word. The seed that falls on stony ground represents those who receive the message with initial enthusiasm but lack depth in their understanding and commitment. Without roots, the seed springs up quickly but withers away due to lack of nourishment. This parable warns against superficial spirituality, where individuals are easily swayed by emotions or external pressures without internalizing the message. The stony ground represents a heart that is not receptive to spiritual growth, lacking the depth and commitment necessary for lasting transformation. Jesus' teaching emphasizes the importance of rooting oneself in faith, allowing God's Word to penetrate deeply into one's heart. This requires a willingness to listen, learn, and apply spiritual principles in daily life. By cultivating a deep and abiding relationship with God, individuals can withstand challenges and remain steadfast in their faith. This parable challenges us to examine the depth of our own spiritual roots. Are we merely going through the motions of faith, or have we allowed God's Word to transform us from the inside out? By seeking a deeper understanding of God's truth and applying it in our lives, we can develop a strong and resilient faith that endures through life's challenges. _MEDITATION:_ *"Let God's Word take root in you. Transform your habits, actions, and character. Live a life of impact."* *#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 6/JULY/2025* *Hardness of the Human Heart* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched [it] out: and his hand was restored whole as the other."* (Mark 3: 5) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 3:5, Jesus encounters a man with a withered hand in the synagogue on the Sabbath. The Pharisees watch closely to see if He will heal on the Sabbath, intending to accuse Him. Jesus, however, looks around at them with anger, grieved by the hardness of their hearts. This reaction highlights the spiritual insensitivity and lack of compassion that had taken hold of the Pharisees. The hardness of the Pharisees' hearts is evident in their prioritization of rules over compassion and their failure to recognize Jesus' authority. Jesus' response demonstrates that a hardened heart can lead to spiritual blindness, causing individuals to miss God's work and fail to show empathy towards others. In contrast, Jesus' healing of the man showcases His power and authority, emphasizing the importance of compassion and mercy. This passage encourages us to examine our own hearts and attitudes towards others. Are we prioritizing rules and traditions over showing compassion and kindness? Jesus' example reminds us to approach others with empathy and understanding, rather than judgment. By softening our hearts and following Jesus' example, we can demonstrate God's love and mercy to those around us. _MEDITATION:_ *"How soft is your heart towards God? Do you show compassion to men? Are you hard or difficult to deal or relate with?"* *#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 4/JULY/2025* *Spiritual Kinship* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother."* (Mark 3: 34-35) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 3:34-35, Jesus redefines family relationships, emphasizing that true kinship is based on obedience to God's will. As he looks at those around him, he declares that those who do God's will are his brothers, sisters, and mother. This passage highlights the importance of spiritual obedience over biological relationships. Jesus' statement doesn't diminish the value of family ties but rather emphasizes that doing God's will is the ultimate measure of one's relationship with him. The lesson here is clear: *obedience to Christ's words* is the key to experiencing a deep, spiritual connection with him. By prioritizing God's will, we demonstrate our commitment to following Jesus and become part of his spiritual family. This passage encourages us to: - *Prioritize obedience*: Seek to understand and follow God's will in our lives. - *Look beyond biological ties*: Recognize that spiritual relationships can be just as meaningful and significant. - *Cultivate a deeper connection with Christ*: By doing God's will, we strengthen our bond with Jesus and become part of his family. _MEDITATION:_ *"We truly reveal our family relationship or connection in God's kingdom, when we seek & obey the word of God."* *#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 5/JULY/2025* *The Parable of the Sower* (1) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And it happened, as he sowed, [that] some [seed] fell by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured it."* (Mark 4: 4) _Bible Insight_ _The seed that falls by the wayside_ In Mark 4:4, Jesus teaches the Parable of the Sower, illustrating the different responses to God's message. The seed that falls by the wayside represents those who hear God's word but don't understand or internalize it. The birds that devour the seed symbolize Satan's attempts to steal God's word from our hearts. When we don't grasp or apply God's message, we become vulnerable to spiritual attacks and distractions. Do not assume that the satan that steals the word from our hearts come as satan. He comes sometimes as thoughts, sometimes as friends, sometimes as social media analytics and critics, sometimes as mood swings even, etc. This parable emphasizes the importance of: - *Receptivity*: Being open and receptive to God's word. - *Understanding*: Grasping the meaning and significance of God's message. - *Application*: Putting God's word into practice to bear fruit. Action steps-- This passage encourages us to: - *Cultivate a receptive heart*: Be open to God's word and willing to learn. - *Guard against spiritual distractions*: Be mindful of Satan's attempts to steal God's word from our hearts. Refer to the different ways he comes to steal them. - *Apply God's word*: Put God's message into practice to experience spiritual growth and fruitfulness. _MEDITATION:_ *"Our ability to procure, protect, process God's word defying every confusion and distraction, is our surest path to victory and greatness in this Kingdom."* *#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 3/JULY/2025* *The Unforgivable Sin?* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation."* (Mark 3: 28-29) _Bible Insight_ Jesus taught that while all sins and blasphemies can be forgiven, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is an exception (Mark 3:28-29). This warning emphasizes the gravity of rejecting God's work and attributing it to Satan. The Pharisees attributed Jesus' work to Beelzebub (Mark 3:22). Jesus' response highlights the danger of hardened unbelief and willful rejection of God's Spirit. _Key Lessons To Apply:_ - *Rejection of God's work*: Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit involves attributing God's work to Satan or rejecting God's Spirit. - *Hardened unbelief*: This sin is characterized by a stubborn refusal to acknowledge God's truth. - *Eternal consequences*: Those who commit this sin are in danger of eternal damnation. This passage encourages us to: - *Be sensitive to God's Spirit*: Recognize and respond to God's work in our lives. - *Avoid hardened unbelief*: Cultivate a humble and open heart to God's truth. - *Seek forgiveness and mercy*: For those who may have unknowingly committed this sin, seek God's forgiveness and mercy. _MEDITATION:_ *"It is unforgivable to consistently refuse, reject and deny the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. This is the reason many die and enter into eternity without Christ. The consequences are irreversible."* *#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 2/JULY/2025* *BINDING THE STRONG MAN* _Key Bible Text:_ *"No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house."* (Mark 3: 27) _Bible Insight_ Jesus taught that to plunder a strong man's house, one must first bind the strong man (Mark 3:27). In this context, the strong man represents Satan, and the house represents the domain of darkness. This verse teaches us that: 1 - *Spiritual warfare precedes victory*: Before experiencing deliverance or salvation, the stronghold of Satan must be overcome. 2 - *Jesus' authority is key*: Jesus' power and authority are essential for binding the strong man and freeing captives. What power does an ordinary man have over the devil? _Application in Evangelism or Ministry:_ 1 - *Prayer and spiritual preparation*: Before engaging in evangelism or ministry, prayer and spiritual preparation are essential to overcome spiritual strongholds. Every day is a day you are stepping out into the enemy's territory. Being successful in life, business and career also requires you prepare and pray for victory. 2 - *Recognizing spiritual opposition*: Be aware of the enemy's attempts to hinder the spread of the gospel and the work of God. Every opposition in the physical is a manifestation of the spiritual aggression and opposition of the enemy. Don't be casual. 3- *Relying on Jesus' authority*: Trust in Jesus' power and authority to overcome spiritual opposition and bring people to salvation. Without being in tune and aligned with God, your advancement is never guaranteed. _Ministry Impact:_ This teaching encourages ministers and evangelists to: - *Pray for spiritual breakthroughs*: Seek God's power and guidance to overcome spiritual strongholds. - *Trust in Jesus' authority*: Rely on Jesus' power to bring people to salvation and deliverance. - *Be prepared for spiritual opposition*: Anticipate and overcome spiritual resistance through prayer and faith. _MEDITATION:_ *"Don't do life casually. Every advancement in life, ministry, career, family or business is a matter of engaging in spiritual warfare. Only those who have power with God stands a chance at true advancement in life."* *#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 1/JULY/2025* *The Pharisees' Accusation* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils. And he called them [unto him], and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?"* (Mark 3: 22-23) _Bible Insight_ The scribes from Jerusalem accused Jesus of being possessed by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, and claimed he cast out demons through Satan's power (Mark 3:22). This accusation was a direct attack on Jesus' authority and the work of God. Jesus responded with a parable, questioning how Satan could cast out Satan (Mark 3:23). He highlighted the absurdity of the accusation, pointing out that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. Jesus' response demonstrated his wisdom, authority, and insight into the spiritual realm. _Key Lessons to Apply:_ - *Not everyone will recognize God's work*: Some people may attribute God's work to evil or misunderstand its significance. Before you conclude that something is not of God, be sure you have done all necessary checks. - *Divided kingdoms fall*: Jesus' parable emphasizes the importance of unity and the destructive nature of division. Are you a unifier or a divider? - *Jesus' authority is supreme*: Jesus' response demonstrates his authority over the spiritual realm and his power to cast out demons. Do you recognize divine authority? - *Stay focused on God's work*: Like Jesus, we should prioritize serving God and spreading the gospel, even in the face of criticism or opposition. Stay put in the midst of the chaos or criticisms. - *Recognize the enemy's tactics*: Be aware of the enemy's attempts to divide and undermine God's work. Persevere and be focused. - *Trust in Jesus' authority*: Remember that Jesus has ultimate authority over all realms, including the spiritual. Once you know you are on God's side, bask in the reality of God's authority. _MEDITATION:_ *"Criticisms and opposition is sometimes a way to recognize a move that is of God and a big threat to the enemy."* *Happy New Month to you. May you overcome every opposition and criticism on your path in Jesus name. Amen.
