*DAILY DEW 12/MAY/2024* *GUARDED HEARTS* _Key Bible Text:_ *Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.* (Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Your heart must be guarded. You owe it a duty to yourself, your neighbours, your future, your generation, and your God, to guard your heart with all diligence. Matthew 15:18-19 (CEV) But the words that come out of your mouth come from your heart. And they are what make you unfit to worship God. Out of your heart come evil thoughts, murder, unfaithfulness in marriage, vulgar deeds, stealing, telling lies, and insulting others. As powerful as the tongue is, it is what the heart permits that comes from it. It is what the heart digests and accepts that comes from the tongue. The key of the tongue is the heart. How do one guard one's heart?! 1. Check or correct the focus of your heart. If your affection is on things above, your focus will eventually regulate the culture you imbibe and the things you meditate on. 2. Make a habit of agreeing and believing God's words. This creates a pattern for your heart. 3. Make a habit of self Examination or heart examination. The heart is powerful and should never be underestimated. A consistent check to be sure we are in line with the word is paramount. _MEDITATION:_ *"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? I the LORD search the heart, I try the reins, even to give every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings."* (Jeremiah 17:9-10 (KJV)) *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,2024* ? *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 11/MAY/2024* *GOD'S WORDS* (3) _Key Bible Text:_ *For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.* (Proverbs 4:22 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ God's words are medicinal. They have curative and preventing capacities. They make the user, healthy. God's words bring divine healing and divine health. Those who are ill can be healed when they habitually use God's words. Those who are not ill can remain healthy when they habitually use God's words. The illness in question is both physical or medical and spiritual or emotional. One can be sick spiritually or sick physically/medically. To live healthy in every sense, especially in the real sense, as far as God is concerned, become a user of God's words. God's words are life enriching. They make life worth living, meaningful and eternally relevant. God's words are the true yardstick for measuring a life well lived. God's words communicate the essence of life. _MEDITATION:_ *"Are you a user of God's words? Those who use God's words live a more meaningful and impactful and healthy life."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,2024* ? *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 10/MAY/2024* *GOD'S WORDS* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.* (Proverbs 4:20-21 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Depart. Keep. Depart. We are not to let God's word depart from our eyes. This is a call to focusing on God's words. It calls for meditation. It calls for daily reading of the word. It calls for continuous thinking and application of the word. When we choose to not DEPART from God's words, other things that are not in line with God's words, departs from us. Drawing near to God's words, never letting our eyes depart from God's words, actually forces habits, ways, ideas that are not in line with God's words, to depart from our lives. Not departing from God's words, forces sin and unrighteousness to depart from us. Keep. As we do not depart from God's words, we depart from sin. As we depart from sin and anything not pleasing to God, we are keeping God's words. Keeping God's words equals departing from anything contrary to God's words. _MEDITATION:_ *"If you are struggling to depart from a bad habit or sin, it is because you are departing from the word of God. Not departing from God's words, causes breaking away from unrighteousness"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,2024* ? *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 7/MAY/2024* *SHUN INJUSTICE* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; and their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall. For they eat the bread of wickedness, and drink the wine of violence.* (Proverbs 4:16-17 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ If God is in control, why is evil rampant? Why do good people suffer? Why is there so much pain and confusion and destruction of the innocent? These are the regular questions you hear from concerned persons. The answer remains the same. Evil is in this world because men who take pleasure to do evil are in this world. They don't sleep well, until someone is not well because of them. They have sound sleep when they have dealt wickedly. They don't like peace,they like violence. The worst part is that, these days, they carry out their evil in disguise and hypocritically. In the public, they make gestures and suggestions of how to deal with evil, but in secret, they continue to sponsor wickedness. Here is another reason we must never be like them. Evil is evil and the moment we indulge in some degree of it, we are not different from those who go all out in it. And we also become hypocrites when we fault others for the evil they do, while excusing ourselves. _MEDITATION:_ *"May we not be like the pot calling kettle black."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,2024* ? *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 6/MAY/2024* *SHUN INJUSTICE* _Key Bible Text:_ *Don't take Wicked Bypass; don't so much as set foot on that road. Stay clear of it; give it a wide berth. Make a detour and be on your way.* (Proverbs 4:14-15) (Message) _Bible Insight:_ Renew your commitment to do only goodworks daily. Renew your commitment to refrain from evil, injustice and wickedness. Proverbs 4:14-15 (GNB) Do not go where evil people go. Do not follow the example of the wicked. Don't do it! Keep away from evil! Refuse it and go on your way. Remember that everyday is another day to be tempted to do evil, or something wrong or sinful. But you can always choose to walk away, overcome it, obey God instead and do what God wants you to do. Take sometime to reflect about your daily activities. Before each day, think of ways you can show kindness and do justice. At the end of each day, reflect upon your day and figure out where you did well, or could have done better or missed a chance at being kind or doing good or shunning evil. _MEDITATION:_ *"Proverbs 4:14-15 (NLT) Don't do as the wicked do, and don't follow the path of evildoers. Don't even think about it; don't go that way. Turn away and keep moving."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,2024* ? *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
