*DAILY DEW 13/JANUARY/2023* *HOW TO BECOME AN ASSET TO YOUR LOCAL ASSEMBLY* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *And a certain Jew named Apollos, born at Alexandria, an eloquent man, and mighty in the scriptures, came to Ephesus. This man was instructed in the way of the Lord; and being fervent in the spirit, he spake and taught diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the baptism of John. And he began to speak boldly in the synagogue: whom when Aquila and Priscilla had heard, they took him unto them, and expounded unto him the way of God more perfectly.* (Acts 18:24-26 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ _Become A Resource Person For The Growth of Your Local Assembly_ The local church I attended never could supply all I needed. I attended every Thursday a Bible Teaching Centre led by Venture Omor, a fantastic teacher. I attended every weekend Night vigil in a Grace of God Church to develop praying and remained in my local church. I learned faith, praying, and the supernatural from outside my local church, but my local church was where I got saved and stayed until I went to a higher institution. Ministries and ministers like me are here to supplement the ministries available to you in the local church. Stop running around in circles with everyone that fascinates you. You can learn from a thousand instructors, and be useful in your local assembly. God will not uproot you to follow anyone because of miracles, or any expression of ministry. 99% of people run after what God ordained for them to learn and implement in their local assembly. Those of you following me here, the day I announce I am coming to your city to plant a local church, you are not who, why, or what I am coming for, God wants me to inject new energy reaping the harvest of lost souls in your city! Everything I do here is to exhort you, so you can be more useful and fruitful in your local church. Stop jumping ship to follow people like me that inspire and exhort you. Learn, but keep faith in your local church. Stop joining every, "workforce" request for church plants by people you met and follow online. Keep at home in your local church, and join hands with those laboring to build that church! _MEDITATION:_ *"Take time to learn from other ministries and ministers for the purpose of investing that knowledge in your local assembly. Don't run away from your local assembly instead, become the difference you want to see and be patient and prayerful in the process"* -- David J.

*DAILY DEW 12/JANUARY/2023* *HOW TO BECOME AN ASSET TO YOUR LOCAL ASSEMBLY* (I) _Key Bible Text:_ *I have told you this many times before, and now I repeat it with tears: there are many whose lives make them enemies of Christ's death on the cross. They are going to end up in hell, because their god is their bodily desires. They are proud of what they should be ashamed of, and they think only of things that belong to this world.* (Philipians 3:18,19 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ _Getting It Right From The Beginning_ You don't start a new church plant with 3 days seminar and gospel concerts headlined by the best of gospel artists for the next 16 Sunday's back to back! 6 months ~ 12 months minimum of daily intercessions and soul winning will give you the stock of souls you need to start. We cannot be abetting church swapping and call it church planting. We cannot in all good conscience say we aren't reinforcing a very bad culture of church floaters. When God gives you a platform to minister to the body of Christ, we must keep our motives pure. You have been appointed to supply what's lacking in local church ministry, and not to destabilize local churches. There used to be Apostolic teaching centers that strengthened the local churches in the spheres of assignment. They taught the saints and sent them to their churches as firebrand assets. When. I got saved, and I had a very huge appetite for fellowship, praying, and teaching, sadly today we make converts who don't like attending church meetings, which makes me wonder what kinda gospel they heard, and what kind of salvation they are laying claim to! _MEDITATION:_ *"Your salvation experience is so vital that it can become a platform for greater heights in God, or a bane to real growth in Christ, except the Lord intervenes"* -- David J.

*DAILY DEW 11/JANUARY/2023* *Become A Builder Not A Breaker* _Key Bible Text:_ *Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God,) which is in Jerusalem.* (Ezra 1:3 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ God doesn't ask people to leave any church. God doesn't lead people away from churches. As messed up as some churches in Revelation were, there is no one instance God ask it to shut down or make members leave. We see Jesus in the midst, with the Seven candlesticks in his hands. Nothing going forward should make you break ranks with your local church. Make where you are the last place you will worship and serve till he comes or calls you home. Things go wrong? Join in and make it right. Church not growing? intercede and win souls you settle into the church. Put your heart, soul, mind, strength, influence, gifts, and money into the minustry of your local church in 2023. Roll up your sleeves and join in to build the church. _MEDITATION:_ *"Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem."* Ezra 1:5 (KJV) *#Austine_Oviawe* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2023* ❤ *#Guest_Message* Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 31/DECEMBER/2022* *THE DEMANDS OF GROWTH* _Key Bible Text:_ *"But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me."* (1 Corinthians 15:10 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ You won't commit to a local church for the necessary devotions, commitment and accountability that will guarantee proper and solid spiritual development, but you are looking for mentors and fathers on social media. ko le work. You desire growth, repent and devote yourself to 1. Fellowship. 2. Prayers. 3. The small groups in your church, e.g. your unit, Bible study group, Sunday School group, etc 4. Take delivery of the doctrines of your local church. Get MP3s. Take training and classes. When you miss a meeting, get the recording and hear it over and over. 5. Join a service group in your local church. Don't just be a 'member' be a worker! 6. Start soulwinning, and make it your goal to always bring one person to church every Sunday. 7. Become fully subscribed to the financial stewardship practiced in your church, and be faithful to it. With a good library added to the above and the great instructors in the body of Christ, you will have no need for a Zuckerberg Zaddy. Instructors abound to supply what's lacking in your local church assembly, stop floating around. Everything I know about faith, the supernatural, healing, etc didn't come from my local church. I got them from instructors, but my church raised me in integrity, living right, accountability, and walking in righteousness. *Uprooting yourself from the local church for every small itch is unspiritual, and unscriptural. Take roots and blossom where God planted you.* The Bible says God has placed every member of the family in the body as it pleased him. Some of us in a big church will be lost and never achieve height and stature, while others in a small church will not. Devoting yourself and giving 100% commitment to your local church will change your worship experience. Get a print Bible, a jotter, and a pen, listen to your Pastor teach, taking notes, and you will find you have been taking one of the finest teachers for granted all this while because while he taught, you were fumbling with your phone and posting nonsense on social media. Sing and dance during the praise session next Sunday during the worship, and you will find your church praise team is better than you thought. You are suffering from irreverence. It takes a level of reverence to have fellowship with God. Going to the airport and taking a flight are two different things. It's irresponsible as it is irreverent to habitually go late to church, and when you get there, in no time you have dozed off. *You are in serious spiritual decline when it doesn't matter if you come to church or not, pray or not pray, give or not give.* You are suffering from spiritual paralysis. _MEDITATION:_ *"_Repentance is not changing church, it is changing your attitude and wrong behavior toward the church and spiritual things._* *Place, "I will be a good church from this day" on top of your decisions for 2023.."* *#Austine_Oviawe* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2023* ❤ *#GuestMessage* Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 30/DECEMBER/2022* *THE DEMANDS OF CONSECRATION* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life"* (Proverbs 6:23 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Obsession with secular entertainment will never allow you to develop the necessary spiritual disciplines for the kind of results you want from God for your life. The filth and lust in secular entertainment are the worlds we are warned to not love. Go through (censor) the lyrics of the music, and comedy you subject your righteous soul to every day! Why not separate yourself, and come clean for God to clean, fill up and use? And that your boyfriend/ girlfriend that is tempting and tripping you into fornication will have to go too! 😐 You cannot enter without departing first from everything and everyone that's feeding, and empowering your flesh through lust. No believer has ever flirted with the world and survived it. All Lot did was pitch his tent toward Sodom, he slowly, but surely ended up in Sodom. Sister, what is it with your sudden closeness with hook up advocates? Why is your page suddenly littered with your half-naked pictures? You are too saved to live a carnally permissive life. *It is time to be desperate unto purpose and God. You cannot live your life like the unsaved!* You are the righteousness of God in Christ. God saved you early to prevent sinful damage to your soul. Don't squander the blessings of early salvation in licentious permissiveness. Those your harlot panties don't belong to where God is bringing you. Dress wholesome with shamefacedness. It is time to depart from iniquity, and live out your new life in Christ. *Contend and strive for faith, souls, the supernatural, and the full expression of God's life in you.* Listen to the correction of the Holy Spirit, the instructions of scriptures for righteous living, and the reprimands of your conscience. _MEDITATION:_ *"Stop making yourself a carnal spectacle, and specimen of worldly dressing. Dress to cover your nakedness properly. If you have to ask, " is this skirt too short?" YES, IT IS! " Can I wear this as a believer?" NO, YOU CAN'T! Can I hear so and so music as brevity? " NO, YOU SHOULDN'T! Listen to the witness of the Holy Spirit and your good conscience."* *#Austine_Oviawe* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_DECEMBER* ❤ *#GuestMessage* Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
