*DAILY DEW 19/JANUARY/2025* *PRAY MORE* _Key Bible Text:_ *"If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it."* (John 14:14 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Here are three key lessons from John 14:14: Lesson 1: The Power of Prayer in Jesus' Name Jesus' promise in John 14:14 emphasizes the importance of praying in His name. When we pray in Jesus' name, we are acknowledging His authority, power, and mediation. This is not a magical formula, but a genuine expression of our dependence on Him and our alignment with His will. Lesson 2: The Condition for Answered Prayer The verse begins with "If ye shall ask," indicating that there is a condition for Jesus to answer our prayers. We must ask in faith, in accordance with God's will, and with the right motives. This condition highlights the importance of aligning our prayers with Scripture and seeking God's glory rather than our own interests. Lesson 3: The Assurance of Jesus' Response Jesus' promise, "I will do it," provides assurance that He will respond to our prayers prayed in His name. This assurance is not a guarantee of immediate answers or specific outcomes but rather a confidence that Jesus will work everything out for our good and His glory. As we pray in Jesus' name, we can trust in His sovereign wisdom and timing. _MEDITATION:_ *AS YOU pray more this year, may your life be an evidence that God answers prayers in Jesus name.

*DAILY DEW 18/JANUARY/2025* *Salvation Through Jesus* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."* (John 14:6 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Jesus' statement in John 14:6 is a profound declaration of His divine identity and role. He asserts, "I am the way, the truth, and the life," emphasizing His exclusive position as the mediator between God and humanity. This affirmation underscores Jesus' unique status as the Son of God, sent to reconcile the world to the Father. Jesus' claim, "no man cometh unto the Father, but by me," highlights the exclusivity of salvation through Him. This statement eliminates any notion of multiple paths to God or alternative means of salvation. Instead, Jesus presents Himself as the sole gateway to the Father, emphasizing the necessity of faith in Him for eternal life. The implications of John 14:6 are far-reaching and profound. This verse underscores the centrality of Jesus Christ in the Christian faith, emphasizing that salvation, truth, and eternal life are inextricably linked to Him. _MEDITATION:_ *As the Way, Truth, and Life, Jesus invites humanity to place their faith in Him, promising that those who do will experience the Father's love, forgiveness, and eternal presence* *#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 17/JANUARY/2025* *"A Future Home."* _Key Bible Text:_ *"In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you."* (John 14:2 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ In John 14:2, Jesus comforts His disciples with a promise of a future home in heaven. He describes His Father's house as having "many mansions," indicating a vast and spacious dwelling place. This phrase is often interpreted as a reference to the various rooms or abodes within God's heavenly kingdom, where believers will reside in eternity. Jesus' statement is not just a vague promise, but a personal assurance that He is actively preparing a place for His followers. The phrase "I go to prepare a place for you" emphasizes Jesus' intentional and loving effort to create a home for those who trust in Him. This preparation involves not only the physical aspect of heaven but also the spiritual and relational aspects of eternal life with God. The verse also highlights Jesus' transparency and honesty with His disciples. He assures them that if this promise were not true, He would have told them. This statement underscores Jesus' credibility and trustworthiness, reminding believers that they can rely on His words and promises. As Jesus prepares a place for His followers, they can have confidence in His love and provision for their eternal future. _MEDITATION:_ *Are you one of Jesus' disciples? Are you preparing for the same place Jesus has gone to prepare for you?* *#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 15/JANUARY/2025* *"The Way of Love."* _Key Bible Text:_ *"By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."* (John 13:35 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ The verse in John 13:35 highlights a fundamental characteristic of Jesus' disciples: love for one another. Jesus declares that the mark of His followers is not their doctrine, rituals, or external practices, but the way they treat each other. This emphasis on love underscores the importance of relationships and community within the body of Christ. By loving one another, Jesus' disciples demonstrate their commitment to His teachings and values. The lesson from John 13:35 teaches us that love is the ultimate apologetic for the Christian faith. In a world where divisions and conflicts often dominate the headlines, the love of Jesus' disciples can be a powerful witness to the transformative power of the Gospel. By demonstrating love, kindness, and compassion towards one another, we can create a compelling narrative that draws others to Christ. This verse encourages us to prioritize love and relationships within our communities, recognizing that this is a key aspect of our witness to the world. Furthermore, John 13:35 reminds us that love is not just a feeling, but a choice that requires effort and commitment. Jesus' disciples are not simply expected to feel affection for one another, but to actively demonstrate love through their words, actions, and attitudes. _MEDITATION:_ *This verse challenges us to examine our own relationships and interactions with others, asking ourselves whether our love for one another is evident to those around us. By choosing to love and serve one another, we can fulfill Jesus' command and demonstrate our discipleship to a watching world.* *#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 15/JANUARY/2025* *"The Way of Glory."* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Therefore, when he was gone out, Jesus said, Now is the Son of man glorified, and God is glorified in him."* (John 13:31 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ The verse in John 13:31 presents a striking paradox. Jesus declares that the Son of Man is glorified at the very moment when Judas departs to betray Him, setting in motion the events that would lead to Jesus' crucifixion. This statement seems counterintuitive, as we would expect glory to be associated with triumph, power, and recognition, rather than suffering, rejection, and death. However, Jesus' words reveal that His glory is not measured by human standards, but by the fulfillment of His divine mission. The lesson from John 13:31 teaches us that true glory is not about external recognition or earthly success, but about faithfulness to one's calling and purpose. Jesus' glory was not diminished by His impending suffering, but rather, it was revealed in His willingness to surrender to God's will. This verse encourages us to reevaluate our understanding of success and glory, recognizing that true fulfillment and recognition come from aligning ourselves with God's purposes, even if it means embracing challenges and difficulties. Furthermore, John 13:31 highlights the inseparable link between the glory of the Son and the glory of the Father. Jesus declares that God is glorified in Him, underscoring the unity of their purposes and the mutual glorification that occurs through their shared work. This verse reminds us that our own glory and fulfillment are inextricably linked to our relationship with God and our alignment with His will. _MEDITATION:_ *By surrendering to God's purposes and embracing His calling, we can experience a deeper sense of glory and fulfillment that transcends earthly measures.* *#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 14/JANUARY/2025* *"Ye are not all clean."* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For he knew who should betray him; therefore said he, Ye are not all clean."* (John 13:11 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ The verse in John 13:11 offers a profound insight into Jesus' awareness of the hearts of those around Him. Despite being in the midst of His closest disciples, Jesus knew that one among them, Judas, would soon betray Him. This knowledge led Jesus to declare, "Ye are not all clean." This statement serves as a poignant reminder that even in the most intimate and seemingly sacred gatherings, there can be those who harbor hidden motives and impurities. The lesson from John 13:11 encourages us to cultivate a nuanced understanding of human nature. Just as Jesus recognized that not all of His disciples were "clean," we too must acknowledge that even within our closest circles, there may be individuals who do not share our values or intentions. This awareness should not lead to cynicism or distrust but rather to a deeper reliance on discernment and wisdom. By seeking God's guidance, we can navigate complex relationships and situations with greater clarity and effectiveness. Furthermore, John 13:11 invites us to reflect on our own spiritual cleanliness. Jesus' statement, "Ye are not all clean," serves as a gentle rebuke, reminding us that we all fall short of God's standards. _MEDITATION:_ *This verse encourages us to examine our own hearts and lives, acknowledging areas where we may need cleansing and forgiveness. By doing so, we can deepen our relationship with God and cultivate a greater sense of humility, compassion, and empathy for others.* *#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 13/JANUARY/2025* *"IN HUMILITY, RECEIVE..."* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Peter saith unto him, Thou shalt never wash my feet. Jesus answered him, If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me."* (John 13:8 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ The exchange between Jesus and Peter in John 13:8 highlights a critical aspect of the Christian life: humility and surrender. Peter's initial refusal to allow Jesus to wash his feet stems from a misunderstanding of Jesus' role and a sense of pride. He cannot fathom why the Master would stoop to serve him. However, Jesus' response underscores the importance of humility and willingness to receive from Him. By washing Peter's feet, Jesus is not only demonstrating His servant-leadership but also symbolically cleansing Peter from sin. Jesus' statement, "If I wash thee not, thou hast no part with me," drives home the necessity of surrender and dependence on Him. Peter's reluctance to receive from Jesus would have resulted in his exclusion from fellowship with Him. This verse teaches us that our relationship with Jesus is not based on our own merits or efforts but on our willingness to receive from Him. We must acknowledge our need for cleansing, forgiveness, and transformation, and surrender to Jesus' work in our lives. The lesson from John 13:8 encourages us to cultivate a posture of humility and receptivity in our relationship with Jesus. We must recognize that our salvation, growth, and transformation are entirely dependent on His work in us. By surrendering to Jesus and receiving from Him, we can experience the depth of His love, forgiveness, and transformation. _MEDITATION:_ *May we, like Peter, learn to humble ourselves and receive from Jesus, that we might have a deeper part with Him.* *#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 12/JANUARY/2025* *Devil's Antics* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to betray him"* (John 13:2 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ The verse in John 13:2 reveals a critical moment in the unfolding drama of Jesus' betrayal. The devil, having influenced Judas Iscariot's heart, sets in motion a chain of events that would change the course of history. This verse teaches us that our thoughts and actions are not always our own, but can be influenced by external forces, including the enemy of our souls. It highlights the importance of being mindful of the thoughts we entertain and the influences we allow into our lives. The fact that the devil put the thought of betrayal into Judas' heart underscores the reality of spiritual warfare. It reminds us that we are not just fighting against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers of darkness (Ephesians 6:12). This verse encourages us to be vigilant and proactive in guarding our hearts and minds against the enemy's schemes. By putting on the armor of God and standing firm in our faith, we can resist the devil's influences and remain faithful to God's purposes. The lesson from John 13:2 also serves as a warning against the dangers of unchecked ambition, greed, and pride. Judas' betrayal was motivated by his own selfish desires, which ultimately led to his downfall. This verse reminds us that when we allow our own interests and desires to take precedence over God's will, we open ourselves up to the enemy's influence and risk compromising our faith. _MEDITATION:_ *May we learn from Judas' mistake and cultivate a heart of humility, obedience, and surrender to God's will.* *#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 11/JANUARY/2025* *Selfless Service* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet."* (John 13:13-14 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ In John 13:13-14, Jesus emphasizes the importance of humility and servant-leadership. He acknowledges His position as Lord and Master, but instead of using this authority to command obedience, He uses it to demonstrate a powerful lesson. By washing His disciples' feet, Jesus shows that true leadership is not about exercising power, but about serving others. This act of humility underscores the need for leaders to prioritize the needs of those they serve. Jesus' statement, "ye also ought to wash one another's feet," extends this lesson beyond the realm of leadership. He emphasizes that servant-hood is not just a characteristic of leaders, but a fundamental aspect of the Christian life. By washing one another's feet, Jesus' disciples – and by extension, all believers – are called to demonstrate humility, empathy, and a willingness to serve one another. This mutual servant-hood fosters a sense of community, equality, and shared purpose. The lesson from John 13:13-14 remains relevant today. As believers, we are called to emulate Jesus' example of servant-leadership and humility. By prioritizing the needs of others and serving one another, we demonstrate our commitment to Jesus' teachings and foster a sense of unity and purpose within the body of Christ. _MEDITATION:_ *As we reflect on Jesus' words, may we be inspired to cultivate a spirit of humility and servant-hood in our own lives.* *#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 10/JANUARY/2025* *Be Humble* _Key Bible Text:_ *"But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew.And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept."* (Mark 14:68, 72 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ The poignant account of Peter's denial of Jesus in Mark 14:68, 72 serves as a powerful reminder of the human capacity for failure and the importance of humility. Peter, one of Jesus' closest confidants, had earlier proclaimed his devotion to Jesus, declaring that he would never deny Him (Mark 14:31). Yet, when faced with the pressure of a potentially hostile crowd, Peter's courage faltered, and he denied knowing Jesus not once, not twice, but three times. The cock's crowing, which marked the fulfillment of Jesus' prophecy, served as a stark reminder to Peter of his failure. The realization of his denial and the memory of Jesus' words pierced Peter's heart, leading him to tears of repentance. This moment of reckoning underscores the importance of acknowledging our weaknesses and vulnerabilities. Peter's denial demonstrates that even the most well-intentioned among us can fail, but it is in these moments of failure that we are afforded the opportunity to learn, grow, and seek forgiveness. The lesson from Peter's denial is clear: humility and self-awareness are essential components of the Christian walk. We must recognize our propensity for failure and acknowledge our limitations. By doing so, we create space for God's grace and mercy to operate in our lives. Peter's story serves as a powerful reminder that failure is not the end, but rather an opportunity for redemption and growth. _MEDITATION:_ *As we reflect on Peter's denial, may we be encouraged to cultivate humility, acknowledge our weaknesses, and seek forgiveness when we fail.* *#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.
