*DAILY DEW 28TH/JUNE/2021* *PLAN TO SUCCEED* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *God, who at sundry times and in divers manners SPAKE IN TIME PAST unto the fathers by the prophets, hath in these last days SPOKEN UNTO US BY HIS SON, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds* (Hebrews 1:1-2 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The writer of Hebrews successfully emphasized the importance of following God's word in these last days. He skillfully argued how that God had been dealing with men by middlemen such as prophets and priests but now has showed Himself to men by revealing Himself in the person of His own son. You can doubt middlemen but never ever doubt His own son! To remind us the high standing of His son, he informs us that the Father had actually appointed the son as heir over all things. Not only that, without His son, this very world would never be in existence- all things was created through the Son. This is reemphasized in John, where the son was introduced as the WORD: *_In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without HIM was not any thing made that was made._* John 1:1-3 (KJV) And just in case you are unsure if the Word was actually referring to the son, there is no need for uncertainty at all. John 1:14 (KJV) is apposite, *"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."* Beloved, if you truly understand that God in these last days is speaking through His Son, who is the Word, who is the heir of all things and the source of all that's created, you had better place the WORD where it should really be in your life-- your number one access and key to success!

*DAILY DEW 27TH/JUNE/2021* *PLAN TO SUCCEED* _Key Bible Text:_ *This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then THOU SHALT HAVE GOOD SUCCESS.* (Joshua 1:8 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Scandals, murders, robberies, rapes, political assassinations, marital infidelity, corruption, bribery, and so many other man made problems and vices are all a result of disobedience to God's word. Man in his self professed wisdom, derides God's word and refuses to hearken to His will and ways. Alas, the more individuals deliberately dance away from the truth of God's word, and rather walk in their selfish and instinctive ways, the more we self destruct and damage what God has given to men for their good. While this dangerous trend is not going away till Jesus returns, every individual must decide to walk way from the path of destruction and seek the wisdom of God. The wisdom of God is not hidden from men but men prefer their human and foolish ways that have caused more harm than good. Joshua 1 verse 8 calls us to the open secret of finding a good success. A sure plan to not fail, is having a plan to not ignore the word of God. A sure path to success in this world and the world to come, is making a personal decision to stick to the word of God. To know the word, to meditate on it, to read it daily and apply it unapologetically and consistently is God's idea of a good success. MEDITATION: *The foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.* (1 Corinthians 1:25 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Sunday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Generational_Impact* *#Hello_June* ❤ *NEWS FLASH:* 🥳🥳 Links To Visit: *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional/episodes/TROUBLED-elli7h *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/06/plan-to-succeed.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 26TH/JUNE/2021* *YOUR FAITH PLEASES GOD* _Key Bible Text:_ *And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.* (Hebrews 11:6 (NIV)) _Bible Insight:_ There’s no doubt about it: Our faith pleases God. And the lack of it displeases God. In the Bible portion we read today, Jesus marveled at the faith of the centurion. We also read that he marveled at the unbelief of people he encountered in his ministry – because of their unbelief he “could not a mighty work there.” How does Jesus respond to your faith? Does He marvel at it? Or is He constrained from doing mighty work because of your unbelief? When we don't exercise faith, we displease God. On the other hand, when we exercise faith, we please God. It's as simple as that. Choosing a faith response gives God the opportunity to display His power. When you see His power in action, your faith is built up. And it gives God the chance to work in and through you to accomplish His purposes. MEDITATION: *What are you going to choose today – fear or faith?

*DAILY DEW 25TH/JUNE/2021* *REDISCOVERING THE WAY* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Rid yourselves, then, of all evil; no more lying or hypocrisy or jealousy or insulting language."* (1 Peter 2:1 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ I joined a local church in 2012, and in my usual way, I watched things for the first few weeks before deciding to settle in. Finally, I took the decision to join them and to serve; enrolled in the foundation class and began my journey there. What really thrilled me was their passion for evangelism. This was a local church where a major thing people consider before getting into courtship is passion for ministry. I loved it. Later, I joined the choir department and I began to play drums alongside another brother. I have some little pro training from classes I took in the past, understand a few rudiments, and so my playing was good enough. I'm rusty now though. Pastoring has stolen that from me. Haha. Now, unknown to me, as I was just busy doing my thing, enjoying the sessions, playing my best, the other drummer was growing envious and jealous. I had no idea! A brother called my attention to it and asked me to be careful but I just didn't see it. But one day, this guy literally dragged with me and got angry and refused to get up from the drum when it was my turn to play. I left him and engaged in the singing sessions. So easy. Me that even while playing drums, you'd catch me singing. It was never about drumming. After the meeting, I walked up to him to ask why he did that, and he gave some flimsy excuses. Well, it was already clear to me that he was jealous. So, I asked him to let us spend time together in prayer and study, because I know that would heal his mind deeply. I also offered to train him in my own little way because I was obviously playing better. In my exact words to him: 'I won't be here for long, but you will be here, so be sure I'm not trying to take your place'. He agreed but never was available and so the envying continued. He never learnt anything till I left! Guess what? After my departure from there, another drummer joined the church and perpetually benched him because he was still the amateur player that he was. A competitive mindset is the reason why you'll find yourself envying those you are meant to learn from. There are people who have been placed in your life to help you become a better version of yourself, but you can choose to resent them, get intimidated, or simply yield to learn. Even in the business world, where competition is a thing, people study the models of their competitors! Even in the business world... I've seen much envy and jealousy play out among believers. There are singers in church who just detest other singers because they seem to possess more skill. There are preachers who detest other preachers because they have a better grasp of scriptures. Some detest those who seem to know how to disciple men. Some even detest others for being prayerful! Someone might think, even in the house of God???? Yes, Galatians 5:19-21 was written to the church - the works of the flesh can be seen among the saints if they do not renew their minds. It takes humility to learn from those who are better and more experienced. *MEDITATION:* *Learn this: Don't miss the light in a bid to always be under the spotlight.* *#Adebowale_Ibukun_Tosin* *#Friday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Generational_Impact* *#GuestMessage* *#Hello_June* ❤ *NEWS FLASH:* 🥳🥳 Links To Visit: *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional/episodes/TROUBLED-elli7h *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/06/rediscovering-way-i.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9..

*DAILY DEW 24TH/JUNE/2021* *REDISCOVERING THE WAY* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For it is by God's grace that you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own efforts, but God's gift, so that no one can boast about it. God has made us what we are, and in our union with Christ Jesus he has created us for a life of good deeds, which he has already prepared for us to do."* (Ephesians 2:8-10 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ Don't put the cart before the horse (even though both are important). Your conduct in Christ should be driven by a revelation and consciousness of what He has done for you in redemption. If your conduct is driven by anything else other than this, at best, you'll frustrate yourself. Worse, even if you manage to succeed at it, you'll have wasted your time because the presentation of our bodies to God must be inspired by a desire to respond to His mercy. Romans 12:1 (NIV), states, *"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, IN VIEW OF GOD'S MERCY, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship."* God's mercy, in this context, refers to all Apostle Paul wrote in the chapters before (Romans 1-11) - how he emphasized that our righteousness (justification) in Christ came by faith; not works. We don't do good works to keep scores with God. We do good works in response to God's goodness to us. It's the same way God wants men to respond to His goodness (clearly demonstrated in salvation) by believing in the gospel. Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that God's kindness is intended to lead you to repentance? (Romans 2:4 (NIV)) You can read up more references about responding to God's goodness by living a holy life, I mean, a life pleasing to Him. *MEDITATION:* *Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.* (Titus 2:13-14 (KJV)) *For further study refer to 2 Corinthians 5:14; Titus 3: 1-8; 1 Corinthians 6:18-20; Ephesians 4:32; 1 Corinthians 1:9-10; 2 Peter 1:9-11* *#Prince_James* *#Thursday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Generational_Impact* *#GuestMessage* *#Hello_June* ❤ *NEWS FLASH:* 🥳🥳 Links To Visit: *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional/episodes/TROUBLED-elli7h *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/06/rediscovering-way.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
