*DAILY DEW 21/FEBRUARY/2024* A Jonadab or A Jonathan. _Key Bible Text:_ *"But Amnon had a friend, whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah David's brother: and Jonadab was a very subtil man."* (2 Samuel 13:3 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ It is better to have no friends than to keep the wrong friends. Some friends are bad for you. Some friends will leave you "exposed" rather than keep you "protected". An evil company is not better than a lonely state. Loneliness is a blessing if compared with being surrounded with wrong and ungodly persons. Psalms 1:1 (KJV) Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful. Jonadab is like many people today. They like to give counsel but they won't apply that counsel themselves. They give counsel out of spite and jealousy but you will think they love you. Many have followed Jonadabs and lost their jobs, virginity, money, marriages and children, etc. Be careful who you call friends because there are still many Jonadabs out there. _MEDITATION:_ *Friendship with the ungodly and deceitful is like embracing a chameleon; they fit in, until they move* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2024* ?

*DAILY DEW 20/FEBRUARY/2024* BECOME! (V) _Key Bible Text:_ *"From the head of the idol of the Ammonite god Molech David took a gold crown which weighed about seventy-five pounds and had a jewel in it. David took the jewel and put it in his own crown. He also took a large amount of loot from the city"* (2 Samuel 12:30 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ Those who don't like to face challenges and difficulties will not become all they are meant to become. Don't be too quick to run from stress and troublesome situations. "Where duty calls or danger, be never wanting there" is a line of the popular "Stand up, Stand up for Jesus, ye soldiers of the cross" hymn Your duty post is at the place of your duties and dangers. Don't be missing in action. David added a costly jewel to His own crown because he rose up, mobilized his people, and went to fight. That God fights our battles doesn't mean we should run from them. It is only the battles we rise up to confront and conquer that God will then step in and fight for and with us, actually. _MEDITATION:_ *Greatness is the result of great boldness to confront great mess and stress* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2024* ?

*DAILY DEW 19/FEBRUARY/2024* BECOME! (IV) _Key Bible Text:_ *"So David gathered his forces, went to Rabbah, attacked it, and conquered it."* (2 Samuel 12:29 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ Those who are too petty and proud will miss important opportunities. This is because, they will pick a quarrel with how you corrected them instead of taking the point made; they will forget about what advice is being given, and be offended by who it was that had the audacity to advice them; they will focus on the minor and forget the major. Don't you ever be like that! Please! King David could have queried or questioned the loyalty of Joab for having the audacity to tell him to go and take the city of Rabbah by Himself. He could have faulted how he said it or when he said it or what he did not say or do when saying it. Instead, David took to the instructions and went to capture the city of Rabbah. Be like David. Also take note, that it is not only people that will push you to your Greatness. Circumstances and challenges are God's tools used in pushing his people to their greatness. Be sensitive to challenges. Things that pain you, stress you, trouble you and disturb you. Most times, they are there for your lifting but they don't appear so. _MEDITATION:_ *God's answers to our prayers for blessings usually come in form of challenges and difficulties. Don't forget this.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2024* ?

*DAILY DEW 18/FEBRUARY/2024* BECOME! (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And David gathered all the people together, and went to Rabbah, and fought against it, and took it."* (2 Samuel 12:29 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Do you agree with me, that *"A small bag of stones and catapult can bring greatness too"* ? Maybe you do. However, the next question will be, what is your own stone and Catapult? It maybe that shop you manage now. It may be that job you have now. It may be that handwork you run now. It may look "little" or "common" but your attitude towards it will make all the difference. If David had looked down on his stone and catapult, I repeat, he won't kill Goliath. His stone and catapult shows that his faith was not just in His skill but in His God. When we are too conscious of what we don't have, we downplay what we have. When we downplay what we have, we signal to God that we don't trust Him enough to use what we have. When we do so, we have by our faithlessness, deprived ourselves from greatness. Value your days of stone and Catapult, because the days when you will be able to gather all the people together, to achieve your goals will also come too. That David used stones and catapult before, does not mean he will always use stones and catapult. _MEDITATION:_ *And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.* (Matthew 13:58 (KJV) ) *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2024* ?

*DAILY DEW 17/FEBRUARY/2024* BECOME! (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"He sent messengers to David to report: “I have attacked Rabbah and have captured its water supply. Now gather the rest of your forces, attack the city and take it yourself. I don't want to get the credit for capturing it.”"* (2 Samuel 12:27-28 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ If you live without a God glorifying ambition, you will never have enough drive to achieve great things for God. "Great" is not defined by the general views and options or opinions of men. What is great, can be big in the eyes of one man, and small in the eyes of another. Hence, while chasing greatness, be sure to align with God's definition. But how do you know God's definition of greatness? This is where you must search God's word for yourself. And seek to know and find your God given purpose. If you follow another man's own "greatness", you might miss yours. David's greatness required he must face Goliath without Saul's armour. If he had thought that Saul's armour will make him great, he would have lost the battle. Find your God given greatness. A small bag of stones and catapult can bring greatness too. What is your own small stone and catapult? Secondly, have men, women, people that will push and challenge you. Don't be content being surrounded by yes- men (weak persons who always agrees with their political leader or their superior at work) This also means, don't be too comfortable with people who praise you or try to always please you. Also keep those who seem to attack or challenge you, around you too. If Joab had been overly ambitious, he would have taken rabbah for himself. However, he rather pushed David to go take it. _MEDITATION:_ *If you must become what and who God says you will be, don't get offended when people push you and provoke you to do more and be better!* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_FEBRUARY,2024* ?
