*THE BETTER COVENANT* (III)
_Key Bible Text:_
*And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.* (Revelation 21:3 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
*2. "I will be their God, and they will be my people."*
That God is your God is a big deal. That you are God's person, is the main goal. Being a people of God is one of the salient features of the New Covenant. It comes next to having God's laws in our inward parts.
Indeed a change of nature that conforms us to God's nature as revealed in Christ, can only result in our becoming God's people and God becoming our God. It is a two way relationship. God is ours. We are God's. Hallelujah!
To be God's means to live for His pleasure. To be God's is to exist at His commands and purpose. When we are God's people, we don't live by our own will but we pursue God's will.
On the other hand, when God is our God, we are God's highest priority. God lives for our well being and progress. God is committed to make our battles His. God is committed to be involved in all that concerns us as our God because we are His people.
The challenge is, we don't usually know how to be God's people. God is ours. And he does his part well. But we being God's people,is where we fail. We are called His people, but sometimes behave otherwise. This should not be so.
*MEDITATION*
*Becoming God's own/person/people and God being our God, is an exclusive preserve of the New Covenant. If we are not under the new covenant, we are not God's and God is not ours in this special sense. Only when a person subscribes to the new covenant does he or she become God's person and God his God.*

*DAILY DEW 9TH/SEPTEMBER/2021*
*THE BETTER COVENANT* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them* (Hebrews 10:16 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
*1."I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts."*
The Better Covenant is founded on the promise that God's laws will be inputted in our minds and our hearts will have them written in them. This simply means God promises that under the new covenant there will be a change of nature. This new nature has a new mindset and code inbuilt.
Jeremiah 31:33 (KJV) is the scripture being referenced. *"But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts;* and will be their God, and they shall be my people."
God putting His laws in our inward parts and writing it in our hearts is a big deal. It is one of the main difference between the old covenant and the new, which is better. Under the old covenant, men were encouraged to live by laws that were "alien" to them and those who survived did so only by virtue of rituals of sacrifices and offerings made to atone sin which was inevitable.
This change of nature is made possible in and by Christ -- Ephesians 2:10 (KJV) says *"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them."*
This should form and inform our relationship with God. We live from the inside out and not the other way round-- we are not shaped by our environment but by our new nature in Christ. Hallelujah
*MEDITATION*
*Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;* (2 Corinthians 5:17-18 (KJV))

*BRIDLE YOUR TONGUE*
_Key Bible Text:_
*Stay calm; mind your own business; do your own job. You've heard all this from us before, but a reminder never hurts.* (1Thessalonians.4.11 (MSB))
_Bible Insight:_
*"I am not afraid of anyone. I will say what I see. I like to say my mind so that I will not keep grudges. It is not good if I can't say what is on my mind, I will say it now. I don't want it to decay in my stomach"*
These are what so many people grow with, and what they think is right so as to live freely, but I tell you this has caused so many harms in a family, community, nations and so on. This is simply because, human beings refuse to keep silent and control their thought and tongues about what they see or hear-- especially when they are angry or excited.
It is good to say the truth at all times but wisdom is needed in the way you construct or express yourself and put down your words. Wisdom is needed not only in controlling and constructing what you say, but in determining the right timing to say what you have to say.
And there is a saying that goes, "if a person talks too much he or she will eventually fall into trouble."
Have you been in this category, is it that you must say all what you see or think or feel? Today am letting you know that it will eventually bring you no good but trouble.
The bible makes it clear to us in the book of James.3.6 (KJV) that *"And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. "*
So, you need to control your tongue. You don't have to let out everything you see/feel/think you need to say.
Peradventure, you are still in this mess, God can set you free. Only when you lay everything down at His feet through His son Jesus Christ then you will be free indeed.
You know, this act can lead to eternal damnation and there is no repentance in the grave. Words spoken can either destroy or make/build you.
Why don't you confess now to Jesus and repent from this dead work? It is only Jesus Christ you can tell everything, and get solution instantly depending on how much you trust Him.
The book of James 1:19-20 says, *"My dear brothers and sisters, be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to get angry. Your anger can never make things right in God's sight."* (NLT)
Only the righteous that will see God at the end of everything here on earth.
*MEDITATION*
*If you claim to be religious but don't control your tongue, you are just fooling yourself, and your religion is WORTHLESS.* (Jas.1.26 (NLT))*

*THE BETTER COVENANT* (I)
_Key Bible Text:_
*But now, Jesus has been given priestly work which is superior to theirs, just as the covenant which He arranged between God and His people is a BETTER ONE, because it is based on promises of better things.* (Hebrews 8:6(GNB))
_Bible Insight:_
Jesus arranged a BETTER COVENANT between His people (first, those who are Isrealites and second & eventually, those who believe in the death and resurrection of Jesus, i.e. the Gospel) and God. This covenant is based, built on promises of better things. Indeed *If there had been nothing wrong with the first covenant, there would have been no need for a second one.*
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", says God, "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.*
Worthy of note and mention, is the promises of better things upon which this new covenant is built: 1. "I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts."; 2. "I will be their God, and they will be my people."; 3. "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."; and 4. "I will forgive their sins and will no longer remember their wrongs." Wow.
These promises actually make the new covenant a better one.
We celebrate God for the new covenant!
*MEDITATION*
*By speaking of a new covenant, God has made the first one old; and anything that becomes old and worn out will soon disappear.* (Hebrews 8:13 (GNB))

*DAILY DEW 5TH/SEPTEMBER/2021*
*WE WORSHIP THROUGH MUSIC*
_Key Bible Text:_
*Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.*
(Psalm 149:3 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Worship is less about an activity and more about a heart posture that holds God in the highest esteem. The place where God is at the top of someone’s priority list.
Typically, we spend most of our time worshiping God through music. And understandably so. We can listen to it in the car, at the gym, and at home. Clearly, music is a popular avenue to worship our Creator.
Worship is a divine appointment with our God. It is both an extravagant expression and a reserved stillness. It is singing, and it is silence. It’s being still and knowing He is God, and it’s celebrating with banners and dancing. It doesn’t matter what type of song we sing. Whether it’s from the most popular group in the worship music scene or a hymn written in the 1700s, the style is not what’s important — the condition of our heart is.
MEDITATION:
*Let’s make worshiping through music a part of our daily routine. We should fill our vacant moments with songs that incite us to worship our amazing God. He is always worthy of it.*
