*BEING IN CONTROL OR TRUSTING GOD*
_Key Bible Text:_
*Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.*
(Psalms 37:5 (NLT))
_Bible Insight:_
Over the years as I evaluate different things that I get anxious or stressed out about, there is one common thread in my response to them — a desire to be in control. It's as if playing out potential negative outcomes or imagining unsuccessful work projects puts me in the driver's seat. Nothing is going to happen without me being forewarned and prepared to face it.
The problem, however, is that trust and control do not coexist. You can have control or you can have trust, but you can’t have both. This presents a challenge considering that throughout scripture, God's instruction to us is to trust Him. In fact, we often see that God's guidance does not include the final picture nor are all the details known.
Scripture tells us that God desires our trust and dependence on Him along the way. Abraham was instructed to leave his country but not given a specific destination ahead of time. The people of God were told to step into the raging river prior to God parting the waters. Mary and Martha were challenged to trust when Jesus instructed the stone be removed from their dead brother’s tomb.
Evaluate your heart and motives today. How much of your stressing and worrying is an attempt to be in control? Make an attempt today to put your trust in Him again.
MEDITATION (THINGS TO DO DAILY):
*Acknowledge your struggle to Him and declare that you want to trust Him.*
*Stop negative thoughts within 30 seconds of them entering your mind and replace them with healthy thoughts.*

*PRESS ON TOWARDS THE GOAL (II)*
_Key Bible Text:_
*I press on towards the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.* (Philippians 3:14 (NIV))
_Bible Insight:_
To achieve a goal, it entails discipline, diligence, and Obedience in humbleness.
If you take time to read the book of Philippians from chapter two, it really explains what a man needs to do, to achieve a goal.
I will like to bring out some of the crucial things needed for a Christian that wants to get the prize without blame.
1. A believer must be sure of his or her salvation. He is not to be entangled with the things of this world in order to avoid distractions.
2. Commitment to the things of God, to the kingdom business and also loving the Lord with all of your heart, soul and mind. (Matthew 22:37)
3. Humbleness of heart to please God at all time.
4. Engaging in Soul winning as the heartbeat of God. Also being an exceptional candidate so as not to be affected with the plight of the devil or enemy is key.
5. Being like Christ, letting the mind of Christ also be in you. (Phillip. 2:5).
It is only those who serve God wholeheartedly, that will be among the chosen ones. Don't forget that you must be led by the spirit of God always. (Romans 8:14).
It is not enough to have the spirit of God but are you having intimacy with Him so that He will lead you at all times?
MEDITATION:
*In any situation you find yourself, ask yourself this question, WHAT WILL JESUS DO?.*
Become more like Christ.

*DAILY DEW 13TH/AUGUST /2021*
*THE HOPE SET BEFORE US*
_Key Bible Text:_
*That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us: which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast, and which entereth into that within the veil;*
(Hebrews 6:18-19 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
It is impossible for God to lie. We can be rest assured about that. We have two immutable things as a guarantee. The one is God's counsel. The other is, God's oath. (Heb 6:17). The writer of Hebrews then declares, almost like a digression- that *"we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:"*
These are strong words. The certainty of God's word is to make us take refuge in the consolation of the hope set before us. These are captured in the most descriptive terms. We don't just take refuge in this hope, we do so with dispatch- "fled for refuge"...
What hope? Hope that is an anchor to the soul! Hope that is both sure and steadfast. Remember, we are saved by hope. (Rom 8:24) This hope is one that is an anchor to the soul. Meaning, it saves or stabilizes our soul. We can be so convinced about this hope, because we have God's two immutable things-- His Counsel and His Oath.
MEDITATION:
*Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,* (1 Peter 1:3 (KJV))
*Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;* (1 Peter 1:13 (KJV))

*DAILY DEW 11TH/AUGUST /2021*
*YOU'LL RECEIVE THE PROMISE* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel, confirmed it by an oath:*
(Hebrews 6:16-17 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
In law Courts, all evidence must be confirmed by an Oath. The commissioner for Oath, signed and acknowledges the depositions whether by way of Affidavit or by witness statements. When matters are to be determined by affidavit evidence, the depositions alone without oral evidence suffices. However, when matters require oral evidence, the witness statements must also be relied on and thereby adopted.
Indeed "an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife". Should the opposing party fail to file a contradictory counter affidavit or defensive statement on Oath, the matter is surely held in favour of the Applicant or Claimant, who have brought in his evidence under Oath.
When God made a promise to Abraham, he sealed His promise under Oath by no greater authority except himself. God's infallibility can be trusted. His word is indeed the confirmation and end of all strife. No strife can last beyond the promise of God. No sickness, no infirmity, no devil can protest beyond the confirmation of God's word. You can take God's word to the bank, and cash it.
MEDITATION:
*God will prove His word true. He always does*

*DAILY DEW 6TH/AUGUST /2021*
*LIFE* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*“It’s urgent that you listen carefully to this: Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life and is no longer condemned to be an outsider. This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living.* (John 5:24(MSG))
_Bible Insight:_
In part one of the topic about life we see that Jesus Christ is the true life indeed. Only in Him and through Him can we truly live.
According to our text today, Jesus Christ is showing us how a person can get eternal life. He says if anyone listen carefully to His (Jesus) word and aligns himself with the Father, such a person automatically has Eternal Life.
Lets see the text in another version
(“I say emphatically that anyone who listens to my message and believes in God who sent me has eternal life, and will never be damned for his sins, but has already passed out of death into life. (Living Bible))
This is telling us that a person who refuses to hear and believe Jesus and the one who sent him, by following the sayings of Jesus Christ cannot and will not have eternal life.
How can they hear for them to believe? Romans 10:13 to 15 says:
13 Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
14 But how shall they ask him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?
15 And how will anyone go and tell them unless someone sends him?
This is what the Scriptures says about those who make effort to tell others about the way to life:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace with God and bring glad tidings of good things.â€[b] In other words, how welcome are those who come preaching God’s Good News! (Living Bible)
*Are you saved? Do you believed? Have you been sent?*
If your answer is yes, then the giver of life resides in you and also with you to give life to the people around you who are in the captive of the devil, to set the captives free through the life that is the light in you.
And if you are not saved, it is not too late for you to believe and call upon the name of the Lord who can give eternal life and bring you out of condemnation (out of darkness) into His marvelous light. You can turn your back to sin and turn to God.
*How can I do this? How can I get life?*
(1) Sincerely repent from your sin, (2) confess your sins to God (3) accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made because of you, (4) turn back to him and turn away from the lust of this world, (5) call on him for mercy with faith and He will give you life eternal.
Put your faith in Jesus and you shall rejoice evermore.
*MEDITATION*
*For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life [[a]in the eternal kingdom of God]? (MARK 8:36 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)*
