*DAILY DEW 2/MAY/2024* *Wisdom* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding. Exalt her, and she shall promote thee: she shall bring thee to honour, when thou dost embrace her."* (Proverbs 4:7-8 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Prioritize wisdom over other things. The only caveat is, don't fall for any kind of wisdom that contradicts or negates Christ. 1 Corinthians 1:21 (KJV) For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. 1 Corinthians 1:22 (KJV) For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: 1 Corinthians 1:23 (KJV) But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness; If your "wisdom" makes you turn away from God, you have actually missed wisdom. Christ has been made for us wisdom. So the wisdom we must get is the type that places Christ as saviour, Lord and King over all. _MEDITATION:_ *"True wisdom, promotes and brings honour to those who seek the wisdom from above"* *#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 1/MAY/2024* *Wisdom* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Get wisdom, get understanding: forget it not; neither decline from the words of my mouth. Forsake her not, and she shall preserve thee: love her, and she shall keep thee."* (Proverbs 4:5-6 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Wisdom and understanding must be sought after, pursued, and aquired. Wisdom and understanding can be forgotten. Effort must be made, structure put in place, so as not to forget ... One can decline wisdom and understanding. One must make a conscious decision never to decline words of wisdom and understanding. Those who fail to recognize wisdom and understanding when they appear, will refuse it either ignorantly or stubbornly. The wise elders of late king Solomon advised his son to treat the people nicely, but Rehoboam was not in alignment with God. Hence, he didnt detect the wisdom and understanding of the aged. Instead he swallowed the nonsense from his age mates, and paid the heavy price of losing the larger part of the Kingdom to Jeroboam. _MEDITATION:_ *"Rehoboam forsook wisdom and as a result the kingdom was not preserved. Love wisdom and understanding for they will keep you and yours"* *#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 30/APRIL/2024* *A Father's Instructions* (3) _Key Bible Text:_ *"For I was my father's son, tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother. He taught me also, and said unto me, Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live.* (Proverbs 4:3-4 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ William Wordsworth in the year 1802, wrote the poem "My Heart Leaps Up". In it, he used the phrase, “Child is the Father of Man”. This can also be rendered as the boy is the father of the man! *"The term basically means that the behaviour and activities of a person's childhood go a long way in building his personality."* In Proverbs 4:1-4, verse 1 takes its justification first in verse 2. Verse 2 is gotten or formed from the explanation in verse 3 & 4. The father who called for the attention of his children to his instructions, explained that he too was his father's son. And his father taught him to *"Let thine heart retain my words: keep my commandments, and live."* _MEDITATION:_ *"When a father fails to teach his children, he has failed to teach his children's children."* *"When a son fails to take to the instructions of a father, he has failed his own children also"* *#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 29/APRIL/2024* *A Father's Instructions* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *"For I give you good doctrine, forsake ye not my law.* (Proverbs 4:2 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Proverbs 4:2 For I give you good teaching; do not give up the knowledge you are getting from me. (BBE) Verse 1 says take seriously the instructions of a father. Verse 2 tells us why! Fathers are full of good teachings!! Don't give up the knowledge they give you. Proverbs 23:23 (KJV) says *"Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding."* What we pay to buy wisdom, instructions and understanding is attention and diligence. You pay attention and diligence to buy truth! Sometimes in a sense you can pay money, but that is only if you need, say to pay for a conference, register for a retreat venue or move to a location via transportation and its fare where such truth will be dished out. Locate and identify the fathers in your life and reconsider the truths they have been sharing with you. Many free truths are looking for people to cherish them. Many fathers are being taken for granted. Another tragedy is when one does not identify those fathers or father figures that God has placed in their lives. _MEDITATION:_ *Who is your father? Who are your fathers? Are you taking to their good instructions?* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_APRIL,2024* ? *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 28/APRIL/2024* *A Father's Instructions* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Hear, ye children, the instruction of a father, and attend to know understanding.* (Proverbs 4:1 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ God designed fathers to be wise and experienced enough to give valuable instructions. God's plan is that fathers are well experienced and well knowledgeable to give valuable and life impacting instructions. As a young man, if you are not consciously acquiring knowledge and building capacity to make you become in the near future an invaluable instructor to your friends, colleagues, subordinates, and eventually your own children or wards in your care, you are not doing well. Today's tragedy is having fathers who deprive their wards and children of sound and valid instructions. Ours is fast becoming a world, where boys and young men become ill prepared or even accidental fathers. Every father, must ensure that they understand the power of their instructions. If all our young boys and children follow all our instructions will they know understanding and will our world become a better place? _MEDITATION:_ *What kind of a father are you becoming? *What kind of a father are you?* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_APRIL,2024* ? *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
