*DAILY DEW 20/AUGUST/2023* *Jesus did not save you online* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too."* (1 John 5:1) _Bible Insight:_ Woke up late - online service Had a long week - online service They plan to protest - online service Elections being conducted - online service Someone blocked your car - online service You have too many things to do - online service You need to arrange some things - online service Saturday was lit - online service Wind starts blowing - online service Rain fell - online service You dreamt that rain fell - online service I don't mean watching service online is a sin. It is not. Especially when you have no choice; but when you do? Ahn ahn! Jesus did not save you online. He came all the way down here. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. He became like you, and died for you. Fall in love nau. Fall in love with the imperfect Body of the One who died to give you Life, and a Hope, and an Inheritance. C'mon! Where is your love; your passion; your belonging; your longing; your commitment; your devotion - to the Body of Christ? Can you be a true believer without it? 1 Thessalonians 2:17-18 As for us, brothers and sisters, when, for a short time, we were made orphans by being separated from you--in person, not in heart--we longed with great eagerness to see you face to face. For we wanted to come to you--certainly I, Paul, wanted to again and again--but Satan blocked our way. NO. It is not possible. Before, Satan might have been blocking your way, but now, you yourself have become the block. Even the ice block Any small thing; church fellowship is the first thing you cancel. Stop it. Repent. Return to your first love. What will you say to the Lord when that Indonesian church says "Despite the flood in 2014...." or that church in Delta says "Despite the flood in 2017, we did not forsake the gathering of Your people" What will you say when members of Ekklesia Yan'uwa a church in Maiduguri which was demolished in 2021 with several injured and one killed and that Sunday they still held full service - what will you say when they say "Lord, we did not forsake the gathering of the brethren?" Please, wake up. _MEDITATION:_ *"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."* Hebrews 10:25 (KJV) *#Ebele_UzoPeters* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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 1/AUGUST/2023* *No Cross, No Gospel* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified"* (1 Corinthians 2:1-2)) _Bible Insight:_ Dead bodies are used to train surgeons. They cut them open from head to toe, to see where everything is; so that they can know how to operate on the living. If you don't go to the Cross where Christ died, where His body was broken, and His blood was shed; where He tasted death; there is no way the Holy Spirit can help you live, or minister to you the living Christ. -- Pastor Ebele UzoPeters If you must be truly of Christ, you must be totally surrendered to the cross. To learn the way of the cross is to truly understand the way of Christ. Paul the apostle even made us to understand that his priority is to totally learn Jesus and Him Crucified so that his preaching will not raise believers who have no conviction engineered by the power of God. That your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:5) As a believer learn to dwell on the cross of Christ. Understand how central and primary the Cross remains to your life as a believer. You can't truly live out the realities of the divine life if you don't fully appreciate the divine death through the cross of Christ! For I delivered to you FIRST OF ALL that which I also received: THAT CHRIST DIED for our sins according to the Scriptures. (1 Corinthians 15:3) There can be no divine life without the divine death of the cross. _MEDITATION:_ *"Any minister of the word who shies away from the message of the Cross, is unfit to hold the scalpel blade of the Spirit, which is the word of God.-- EbeleUzoPetees* *#Ebele_UzoPeters* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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 30/APRIL/2023* *SHUNNING HYPOCRISY* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye?"* (Luke 6:41 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ You may choose to be fake anywhere else; but please, not in church. In church, be real about life and godliness. No forming. No airs. No pretense...because in a real church, you are not just dealing with men. You are dealing with God. There are two kinds of pretenders. 1. The hypocrites: those who are still in love with the world and with sin but like to look holy in Christians circles. Yes. Big mistake. There's no point in living such a life. Stop wasting your time going to church. At the end of the day, you gain nothing but judgment. Make up your mind to lay hold of the grace of God, wave a final goodbye to the world, and follow Jesus with your whole life. 2. The disobedient: those who think being real means behaving anyhow in the corporate fellowship of believers - dressing anyhow, saying anything, and just 'being yourself'. Er....No. Christian faith is not about you. Church is not about you. It is about God. It is about Jesus. And to be in church means to be there for Him. Not for yourself. Who He is. How great He is. What He has done. His will. His word. His purpose etc. You are there, not to just express yourself and stay deformed, but to meet the Lord Christ and be transformed. 1. are pretending that God they are worshipping in public is not present in their private lives 2. are pretending that God they are running away from privately is not present in the corporate worship Lord have mercy on His people. _MEDITATION:_ *Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye.* (Luke 6:42 (KJV)) *#Ebele_UzoPeters* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,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 1/DECEMBER/2022* *THE SPIRIT VS THE SOUL!* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart."* (Hebrews 4:12 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ New Life isn't in the soul of a Christian. It is in his spirit. This is a very important fact which if understood will make a great difference. The spirit and the soul are not the same. One of the most important differences is that the soul is self conscious, but the spirit-man is not. The spirit-man is conscious of God. If there was no music, no singing, no falling under the anointing, but God was in the room; the spirit will know, but the soul won't. The soul needs those other things to be able to discern God's presence. The downside to that is that there can be a wind of prophecy, a fire of tongues, and an earthquake of mighty preaching, and God is not in any of it.🥺 But the spirit will pick up His still small voice. So self-affirmation, self-determination, self-love self-advertisement, self-motivation is primarily soulish or carnal. The soul is powerful, but it is not the spirit. The soul is strengthened in front of a mirror, but the only mirror for the spirit-man is the word of God. But without the help of the Spirit, you could turn the word of God into a physical mirror, into a motivational book, and glean from it only the things you want to hear and things easy to be understood. But should you present yourself before the living Word with meekness and sincerity, it will immediately begin to divide asunder between soul and spirit. It will show you Christ. _MEDITATION:_ *"For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace."* (Romans 8:5-6 (KJV)) *#Ebele_UzoPeters * *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_DECEMBER* ❤ Links To Visit: *Register4HTP2022:* https://bit.ly/HTP2022_ACTIVATED *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 29/SEPTEMBER/2022* *"Hello, Hello, Oh We Lost Him"* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life."* (2 Corinthians 3:5-6 (KJV) _Bible Insight:_ There is this joke about radio programs, how, many people seem to die on radio programs, because you will hear - Hello, Hello, oh we lost him😀 It reminds me of how many people have 'died' in Bible study by the same token - misinterpreting a single word by removing it from its passage and from its contextual meaning, and focusing on the meaning of the original Greek word behind that word. The letter killeth🤷🏽‍♂️ Unfortunately for them, language is more than the sum of individual words. Assuming what the radio presenter said was a verse of Scripture, and I take 'LOST' from the sentence - We lost him - and check the Greek word, I'll conclude that the person has died, because that is what it means to lose a person!😃 But in the context of radio programs, it simply means something else. It means disconnected communication, not death! There's no how you can miss that if you are listening to the radio program. You may only arrive at such a wrong conclusion when you focus on that one word - the word 'Lost' Then you end up looking for what is not lost. ..ehm..the Greek word for faith used here is ajeokutamamomi, the Hebrew word for prayer used here is agbado, and that means so so and so....No Sir. We have to be careful about such methods. Always check the meaning of words first from the MICRO-context of a passage Micro-context, because there are some strange brethren who always appeal to macro-context when they want to play kalo kalo with the word. Something will be very clear in the Bible, but because they cannot accept the truth of it, they start saying - 'Go back and start reading from chapter one to understand the context.' Hehehehehe - alawada, Mr. Bean in Bible Study, Episode 1. If you like go back to Kafanchan and start from Chapter minus twelve hundred, the truth will not change. 1 John 1:9 that says if we confess our sins, God is faithful to forgive and cleanse us won't change because you went back and started reading from Chapter Wikipedia. Lol. _MEDITATION:_ *"So...Back to micro-context. Macro is important for general grasp, but micro is key for specific truths. The Bible wasn't written in chapters and verses and passages often have main points, side points, tributaries, detours and so on. If you must check for a root word, always do so with the micro-context in mind. Avoid changing the meaning of a whole verse or couple of verses because of one word.* *Once I see a person do that, I usually conclude that as far as the truth is concerned o "We lost him.".* Activity:- YMC22 is a missions conference to expose you to very critical & life transforming teachings & workshop.
