*DAILY DEW 15/MARCH/2025* *FOLLOW THOU ME* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do?"* (John 21: 21(KJV)) _Bible Insight_ In John 21:21, Peter asks Jesus about the fate of John, one of Jesus' beloved disciples. This question comes after Jesus had just revealed to Peter the manner of his own death (John 21:18-19). Peter, still reeling from this revelation, can't help but wonder about John's future. Jesus' response is instructive: "If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? Follow thou me" (John 21:22). In essence, Jesus tells Peter to focus on his own calling and not compare himself to others. This lesson remains relevant today. We often find ourselves comparing our lives, ministries, or careers to those of others. However, Jesus reminds us that our primary concern should be following Him, not worrying about someone else's journey. The lesson from John 21:21 is clear: our focus should be on obeying God's will for our lives, rather than comparing ourselves to others. When we fix our eyes on Jesus and follow Him, we can trust that He will take care of everyone else's path. _MEDITATION:_ *"May we learn to mind our own business and follow Jesus, no matter what others may be doing."* *#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 14/MARCH/2025* *LOVEST THOU ME...?* _Key Bible Text:_ *"So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs."* (John 21: 15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _Restoration and Redemption_ This conversation between Jesus and Peter takes place after Peter's denial of Jesus during the crucifixion. Jesus' question, "Lovest thou me more than these?" (John 21:15), is an opportunity for Peter to redeem himself and reaffirm his love for Jesus. By asking Peter to confirm his love, Jesus is restoring their relationship and preparing Peter for a new role. _Commission and Responsibility_ Jesus' response to Peter's affirmation, "Feed my lambs" (John 21:15), is a commission to care for and nurture Jesus' followers. This command emphasizes the importance of servant leadership and responsibility. As Peter is entrusted with this task, he is reminded that his love for Jesus must be demonstrated through action and service to others. _Love and Obedience_ This passage highlights the connection between love and obedience. Jesus' command to "feed my lambs" is a direct result of Peter's affirmation of love. This demonstrates that true love for Jesus is not just emotional or verbal, but also practical and obedient. By obeying Jesus' command, Peter is demonstrating his love and commitment to Jesus and His followers. _MEDITATION:_ *"Love for Jesus must be demonstrated through action and service to others"* *#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 11/MARCH/2025* *The Blessing of Obedience* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? They answered him, No. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes."* (John 21:5-6(KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _Jesus' Provision and Guidance_ Jesus' question about having meat was not just about physical hunger but also about spiritual provision. The disciples' response, "No," indicated their emptiness and lack of spiritual nourishment. Jesus' instruction to cast the net on the right side of the ship was a test of their obedience and faith. By following His guidance, they experienced a miraculous catch, demonstrating Jesus' power to provide and guide. _Obedience and Faith_ The disciples' obedience to Jesus' instruction, despite their initial skepticism, led to a remarkable outcome. This episode highlights the importance of trusting and following Jesus' guidance, even when we don't understand the reasons or outcomes. By casting the net on the right side, the disciples demonstrated their willingness to trust Jesus, and He rewarded their faith with abundance. _Abundance and Blessing_ The miraculous catch of fish represents the abundance and blessing that comes from following Jesus and trusting in His guidance. The disciples' inability to draw in the net due to the multitude of fish symbolizes the overwhelming nature of God's blessings. This episode encourages us to trust in Jesus' provision, guidance, and blessing, knowing that He can exceed our expectations and provide abundantly. _MEDITATION:_ *Indeed, one day of God's favour is better than several days of human efforts without God!* *#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 10/MARCH/2025* *That I may see & know Jesus* _Key Bible Text:_ *"But when the morning was now come, Jesus stood on the shore: but the disciples knew not that it was Jesus."* (John 21:4 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _A Surprising Encounter_ After a long and unfruitful night of fishing, the disciples were exhausted and disappointed. But as the morning dawned, Jesus appeared on the shore, watching over them with love and care. However, the disciples did not recognize Him, highlighting their spiritual blindness and lack of expectation. _The Need for Spiritual Sight_ This encounter emphasizes the need for spiritual sight and discernment. The disciples had spent three years with Jesus, learning from Him and witnessing His miracles. Yet, in this moment, they failed to recognize Him. This teaches us that spiritual recognition and understanding require more than just physical presence or familiarity. We need the eyes of faith to see and recognize Jesus in our lives. _The Gift of Recognition_ The fact that the disciples did not recognize Jesus until later (John 21:7) underscores the gift of recognition that comes from God. Spiritual recognition is not based on human effort or merit but on God's gracious revelation. As we seek to follow Jesus and live for Him, we can ask for the gift of spiritual sight, trusting that He will reveal Himself to us in His perfect timing. _MEDITATION:_ *It is one thing to see Jesus. It is another thing to recognize Jesus!* *#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 9/MARCH/2025* *I GO A FISHING* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they caught nothing."* (John 21:3 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ _Returning to Familiar Patterns_ After Jesus' resurrection, Peter and the other disciples were struggling to understand their new reality. Peter, in particular, seemed to be reverting to his old ways, saying "I go a fishing." This statement indicates that Peter was returning to his familiar pattern of life before meeting Jesus, which was fishing. This behavior shows that Peter was uncertain about his future and was falling back on what he knew best. _Following Without a Clear Direction_ The other disciples followed Peter without questioning his decision, indicating that they were also uncertain about their direction. They went fishing with Peter, but their efforts were unsuccessful, as they "caught nothing." This outcome suggests that when we follow our own plans and desires without seeking God's guidance, we can end up empty-handed and unfulfilled. _Lesson on Following God's Plan_ This verse teaches us that we should not rely solely on our own understanding and plans. Instead, we should seek God's guidance and direction, even when we are uncertain about our future. Peter's experience shows that when we follow our own ways, we can end up with nothing. However, when we follow God's plan, we can experience abundance and fulfillment, as seen in the miraculous catch of fish that followed in John 21:4-6. _MEDITATION:_ *When we follow our own plans and desires without seeking God's guidance, we can end up empty-handed and unfulfilled!* *#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 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.
