*KEEPING THE BODY BALANCED*
_Key Bible Text:_
*Then said he unto them, Therefore every scribe which is instructed unto the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which bringeth forth out of his treasure things new and old.* (Matthew 13:52 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
*The Old & New Testament Have Treasures for the New Creation Man*
A lot of times we believers ruled out certain things in the name of it is under the Old Testament. Some go as far as wrongly including the idea that tithe is for Old Testament. Granted that certain things do not apply under the New Testament, for example, you don't need any intermediary priest to ask for God's forgiveness. However, there are certain teachings that align both in the New and Old Testament and these must be richly discerned and taught.
Striving to get a balance in the body of Christ can only be achieved when doctrines and teachings align. A lot of division and confusion breeds in the body of Christ because many believers fail to take time to study the word, rather than accept man made commandments and traditions passed down as true doctrines. To keep balance in the body of Christ, we must keep balance in the doctrines of Christ as understood and taught by believers
We are going to consider two major ideas/teachings that are very relevant to the believer even in this Holy Spirit Era. The first is the teaching about the wrath of God vs the love of God. The second is related, but different, that is, the love of God vs the fear of God.
God willing, we shall receive more light as we look at these two together. While we are at it, would you agree that the Love of God is the only factor that leads men to salvation? Or do you think apart from the love of God, an understanding of the wrath of God is key if an individual would be receptive to the Gospel?
You could share your thoughts with a friend or share your thought with us as a comment. Pray that the Lord will give you insight into His word so that you may have balance.
Remain blessed.

*DAILY DEW 12TH/OCTOBER/2021*
*WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE THE CHURCH THEY ATTEND*
_Key Bible Text:_
*And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.* (Acts 5:11-12 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
*HERE ARE THE MANY REASONS WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE THE CHURCH THEY ATTEND:
1. The crowd the church pulls (everybody goes there)
2. Ambiance and comfortability of the church facility
3. The caliber of weekly attendees (for connection)
4. The charisma and personality of the pastor (I just like the pastor)
5. Family background (It's our family church)
6. The quality of their music (that church can sing)
7. Proximity (it's the one closest to my house)
8. Feel-good-only motivational preaching (I don't want any preaching that will 'stress' me)
9. The kind of programs they organize (talent hunts, singles valentine's picnic, suya and soya night, comedy and lots of fun, etc)
BUT HERE ARE THE GOD-ORDAINED REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE A CHURCH YOUR HOME CHURCH:
1. Where I am challenged and trained to pray
2. Where I am taught and inspired to uphold the Word of God above everything else and live by it
3. Where I am guided on how to explain the gospel in clarity and win others to Christ
4. Where I am loved and practically taught to walk in love and serve others selflessly
5. Where I am challenged and shown how to walk in righteousness and in power
6. Where I can be accountable for my own spiritual growth
Ask yourself today, why do you attend that church you attend? If it is any of the reasons in the first category, you are simply a Christian Club member, you don't have a church.
*MEDITATION*
*But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.* (1 Timothy 3:15 (KJV))

*DAILY DEW 8TH/OCTOBER/2021*
*The Advent of the Man Behind the Shadows* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*This is a symbol which points to the present time. It means that the offerings and animal sacrifices presented to God cannot make the worshiper's heart perfect.* (Hebrews 9:9 (GNB))
_Bible Insight:_
*The Insufficiency of the Old Order*
The old order utilized outward rules to engage the worshipers. Rules touching drink, foods and various purification processes. These are all outward rules, which apply only until the time when God will establish the new order-- which new order, we have since entered!
Christ came as the High Priest of the good things that are already present in this new order. The tent in which He serves is greater and more perfect; it is not a tent made by human hands, that is, it is not a part of this created world but heavenly.
When Christ went through the tent and entered once and for all into the Most Holy Place, He did not take the blood of goats and bulls to offer as a sacrifice; rather, He took His own blood and obtained eternal salvation for us. Hallelujah!!
In contrast with the old order, the blood of goats and bulls and the ashes of a burnt calf are sprinkled on the people who are ritually unclean, and this purifies them by taking away their ritual impurity.
This shows us the amazing power and great accomplishment of the the precious blood of Christ! Christ through the eternal Spirit, offered Himself as a perfect sacrifice to God. His blood has the added benefit of not only ceremoniously and temporarily cleansing us, but it will purify our consciences from useless rituals, so that we may serve the living God.
*MEDITATION*
*For this reason Christ is the one who arranges a new covenant, so that those who have been called by God may receive the eternal blessings that God has promised. This can be done because there has been a death which sets people free from the wrongs they did while the first covenant was in effect.* (Hebrews 9:15 (GNB))

*DAILY DEW 7TH/OCTOBER/2021*
*The Advent of the Man Behind the Shadows* (I)
_Key Bible Text:_
*The first covenant had rules for worship and a place made for worship as well.* (Hebrews 9:1 (GNB))
_Bible Insight:_
*The Old Order of Worship*
A brief understanding of the old order of worship is necessary for those in Christ to understand the privilege and responsibility bestowed upon us.
The old order of worship was tied to a physical location and settings. A tent was put up, the outer one, which was called the Holy Place. In it were the lampstand and the table with the bread offered to God.
Behind the second curtain was the tent called the Most Holy Place. In it were the gold altar for the burning of incense and the Covenant Box all covered with gold and containing the gold jar with the manna in it, Aaron's stick that had sprouted leaves, and the two stone tablets with the commandments written on them. {Items which were symbolic in the Most Holy Place}
Above the Box were the winged creatures representing God's presence, with their wings spread over the place where sins were forgiven. But now is not the time to explain everything in detail. (So sins and atonement for same must be done in the Most Holy Place)
This is how those things have been arranged. The priests go into the outer tent every day to perform their duties,
but only the high priest goes into the inner tent (The Most Holy Place), and he does so only once a year. He takes with him blood which he offers to God on behalf of himself and for the sins which the people have committed without knowing they were sinning.
These were symbolic patterns or arrangements which would now, in this dispensation, reveal their truest meanings or significance.
*MEDITATION*
*The Holy Spirit clearly teaches from all these arrangements that the way into the Most Holy Place has not yet been opened as long as the outer tent still stands.* (Hebrews 9:9 (GNB))

*DAILY DEW 6TH/OCTOBER/2021*
*THE BETTER COVENANT* (The End)
_Key Bible Text:_
*If there had been nothing wrong with the first covenant, there would have been no need for a second one.* (Hebrews 8:7 (GNB))
_Bible Insight:_
But God finds fault with his people when he says, *"The days are coming, says the Lord, when I will draw up a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah. It will not be like the covenant that I made with their ancestors on the day I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt. They were not faithful to the covenant I made with them, and so I paid no attention to them."*
*Now, this is the covenant that I will make with the people of Israel in the days to come, says the Lord: I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.*
*None of them will have to teach their friends or tell their neighbors, 'Know the Lord.' For they will all know me, from the least to the greatest. I will forgive their sins and will no longer remember their wrongs.*
By speaking of a new covenant, God has made the first one old; and anything that becomes old and worn out will soon disappear.
The power of the new covenant calls us to dwell upon the precious promises of God so that we don't lose sight of the essence of the new covenant.
*MEDITATION*
*For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect.* (Hebrews 10:1 (KJV))
