*REACH A POINT OF NO RETURN*
_Key Bible Text:_
*For how can those who abandon their faith be brought back to repent again? They were once in God's light; they tasted heaven's gift and received their share of the Holy Spirit.* (Hebrews 6:4 (GNB))
_Bible Insight:_
There is a point of no return in Christ. It begins from the new birth (the born again experience) and progresses to the point of no return in the knowledge and profession of Jesus Christ. There is a point you get to in Christ, where you can't easily turn your back on Christ. If you ever turn your back on Christ after getting to that point, you will not be able to return to Christ again.
Hebrews 6:1-2 explores the basics of the faith of Jesus Christ. However, it urges us to move to the deeper teachings and realities of the faith. These are teachings and realities that bring us to the point of no return in Christ, that is, we will not be able to turn our backs on Christ unless we are determined to crucify Christ afresh! And crucifying Christ afresh will mean, you were never truly saved to begin with.
Let's look at the three areas mentioned, which shows depth in Christ:- *"They were once in God's light; they tasted heaven's gift and received their share of the Holy Spirit."*
Hebrews 6:4 (CEB) *Because it's impossible to restore people to changed hearts and lives who turn away once they have seen the light, tasted the heavenly gift, become partners with the Holy Spirit,*
The light of God shines to reveal and deflect darkness, the heavenly gift and partnership with the Holy Spirit refers to levels of depth in walking and dealing with the Holy Spirit.
Anyone who wants to get to God's point of no return in Christ, must embrace light, heavenly gift and partnership with the Holy Spirit. These are levels that guarantees that we will not allow any atom of darkness to prevail over us neither shall we allow sin or anything else to draw us away from the faith- because we are led by the Holy Spirit who is in partnership with us.
*MEDITATION:*
*Matthew 6:23 (KJV) But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!*

*If God Permits*
_Key Bible Text:_
*And this will we do, if God permit.* (Hebrews 6:3 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Now listen to me, you that say, *Today or tomorrow we will travel to a certain city, where we will stay a year and go into business and make a lot of money.*
You don't even know what your life tomorrow will be! You are like a puff of smoke, which appears for a moment and then disappears.
What you should say is this: *If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.*
But now you are proud, and you boast; all such boasting is wrong.
So then, if we do not do the good we know we should do, we are guilty of sin. (James 4:13-17)
*MEDITATION:*
*We don't know what tomorrow holds but we know who holds tomorrow. And we trust him.*

*DAILY DEW 23RD/JULY/2021*
*The Fundamentals of the Faith* (VI)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and OF ETERNAL JUDGMENT.* (Hebrews 6:2 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
The doctrine of eternal judgment teaches that all that we do in the flesh or while alive here on earth, shall be weighed on the balance by God's righteous yardstick. Many times, we gloss over the subject of judgment but it is indeed a very great matter before God.
Jesus preached a lot about judgment. He kept reminding his audience about its weight and importance:
In Matthew 12:36-37 (KJV), _"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."_
In Matthew 12:41-42 (KJV) _"The men of Nineveh shall rise IN JUDGMENT with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. The queen of the south shall rise up IN THE JUDGMENT with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here."_
The doctrine of Judgment follows the reality and doctrine of resurrection. We are not like animals that die and simply return to dust. When we die, our spirits and souls are reaped by God waiting for judgement while our bodies return to dust.
In 1 John 4:17 (KJV), it reads *"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world."*
This is indeed one doctrine that all must lay to mind. Like the day of exam for students, and they strive to be ready for that day, we too must bear the day of Judgment in mind, and ensure that we shall have confidence when that day comes. And so help us God. Amen.
*MEDITATION:*
*For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?* (1 Peter 4:17-18 (KJV))

*LOVE THAT CORRECTS*
_Key Bible Text:_
*If you don't punish your children, you don't love them. If you do love them, you will correct them.* (Proverbs 13: 24 (GNB))
_Bible Insight:_
The Church needs to get used to the rebuke of the Lord. We are fat on "God loves me", and we are quick to forget that the Lord disciplines the one he loves, and he chastens everyone he accepts as his son.â€
Constant rebuke that is done in love will bring anyone into maturity.
This is the goal of Christ. That we may grow in him; until we all reach unity in the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.
Hebrew 12: 7-9
"If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.
Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flesh which corrected us, and we gave them reverence: shall we not much rather be in subjection unto the Father of spirits, and live?"
God help us.
*MEDITATION:*
*Remember that the LORD your God corrects and punishes you just as parents discipline their children.* (Deuteronomy 8:5 (GNB))

*DAILY DEW 21ST/JULY/2021*
*The Fundamentals of the Faith* (V)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and OF RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD, and of eternal judgment.* (Hebrews 6:2 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
This is a past reality, a present reality and a future reality: the resurrection of the dead. Jesus is described as the first born of the dead in Colossians 1:18 (KJV)-- *"And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD; that in all things he might have the preeminence."* This points to the fact that he is the first to have victory over death, a permanent resurrection from the dead without ever dying again.
The doctrine of the resurrection of the dead is one of the fundamental teachings of Jesus. Most anti christ religions always make this subject their greatest concern. They don't like to accept this truth so they fight it with everything they have.
Paul further argued extensively that if there is no resurrection of the dead, then christianity is a hoax, a religious scam to keep men under control. He didn't use these words but that's effectively what he means:
*For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.* (1 Corinthians 15:16-19 (KJV))
It is the power of resurrection that guarantees our victory over sin. The transforming power of God is continually working out itself in us, giving us newness of life, salvation from sin, salvation from sicknesses and diseases, etc. All of these flows from the power of the Holy Spirit which is able to make alive, to quicken and to restore.
*MEDITATION:*
*But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the first fruits of them that slept. For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.* (1 Corinthians 15:20-22 (KJV))
