*FAITH FOR ALL SEASONS*
_Key Bible Text:_
*I know what it is to be in need and what it is to have more than enough. I have learned this secret, so that anywhere, at any time, I am content, whether I am full or hungry, whether I have too much or too little.*
(Philippians 4:12 (GNB))
_Bible Insight:_
What if Joseph did not save 20% of the supply of food of Egypt in those seven years of plenty?
The whole world, not just Egypt, would have perished.
When Joseph interpreted that dream to pharaoh, pharaoh’s cabinet members and palace staff were all there. They heard the meaning of the dream and the suggestion Joseph gave on how to prepare for the 7 years of famine. Yet, none of them applied that suggestion to their lives. They all ate like hoodlums during the seven years of plenty until famine landed.
Life is in seasons.
When your season of plenty comes, as much as you would want it to always be there, experience teaches us that it is not always there. What you do with the plenty in the season of plenty will determine your quality of life when the next season comes.
Don’t spend all your income. Don’t suddenly change your wardrobe and car and apartment just because you got a bump in your salary or landed one contract.
This is a simple truth that many find hard to live by. Save 20% of your income at the least. Problems no dey finish. Good things no dey finish too.
Don’t live above your means. Don’t live to make a statement to those you believe thought you wouldn’t make it. Don’t make God seem unfaithful to you. That won’t be fair.

*ON FINDING PURPOSE* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Work hard at whatever you do, because there will be no action, no thought, no knowledge, no wisdom in the world of the dead---and that is where you are going.*
(Ecclesiastes 9:10 (GNB))
_Bible Insight:_
David didn't know he was going to be the king of Israel until Samuel showed up and anointed him. Nobody drummed it into his ears to discover or find his purpose. He simply loved and lived for God, obeying and serving Jesse his father and polishing his skills - playing the harp and slinging.
Today, we call these things skills but I don't think David saw them like that. He probably learnt how to sling stones as a way of protecting his sheep from the lions and the bears. He played the harp as a way of entertaining himself and his fellow shepherds while they were at the bush. He wasn't doing any of these for the palace cos he didn't know he would ever be there, but he did them well. He simply made the most of his situations.
He didn't let the anticipation of what tomorrow could bring deny him the joy and glory of really living today. Yet, God had His eyes on him and when the right time came, He, God, began to move men and materials in his favor. So, I'll enjoin you to do your best today. Forget about tomorrow; the Lord Jesus said: today's trouble is sufficient for it. The best way to really prepare for the future is to live today well.

*ON FINDING PURPOSE*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."*
(Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
One of my younger friends said she was having issues with discovering her purpose and this has lingered.
And I said this to her:
"Scripture says: whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. It is important that you don't get fixated on finding one special thing or purpose for your life. God is working things out for you so you can trust him to orchestrate events that will move you to the expected end he has for you.
He is the one that said: I know the plans I have for you, plans for good and not of evil, to bring you to an expected end. He is the one that will bring you to that end. So, I will need you to simply relax in His everlasting arms and trust that He is working things out for you. You simply have to do today's work very well. Bloom where you are currently planted. Be the best at the thing you are doing NOW."
I find that many young people have been inundated with so much teaching about finding or discovering purpose that they end up marking time, wondering endlessly what their purpose is. Many do not do well in the course they are studying now in school because they have convinced themselves that that course may not be in line with their purpose.
This is deception.
I have someone doing her NYSC in my office now. She graduated with First Class Honours from Covenant University from the department of Microbiology. You know what? She is not interested in practicing Microbiology. She is into digital media and has a great YouTube Channel already with close to 10,000 subscribers.
She did well in Microbiology even when she knew she wasn’t going to pursue a career in Microbiology. She simply bloomed where she was planted. She did with all her might what her hand found to do at the time.
_MEDITATION:_
*The Lord's prayer says, 'give us this day our daily bread.' Our walk with God is a daily walk. Wake up each morning and ask Him to guide you. That's all that's important. Even if He shows you the entire nine yards, can you go the journey on your own?*

*DAILY DEW 19TH/NOVEMBER/2021*
*POSITIVE PROVOCATION*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works."*
(Hebrews 10:24 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Generally speaking, to provoke someone is to do something that is disapproved of. Provocation is *"action or speech that makes someone angry, especially deliberately."* It also means *"the action of arousing sexual desire or interest, especially deliberately."* However, in Hebrews 10:24 there is another kind of provocation that is introduced. It is one that does good, glorifies God, and creates a pull for others to do good and glorify God. This is a positive kind of provocation.
How do you provoke another to love and to good works? The first thing is to practice love and good works. Be an example of what it means to walk in love. Be an example of doing good works. Dorcas was an excellent example. When her name was mentioned for the first time in the Bible it had a unique introduction: *"Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did."* (Acts 9:36 (KJV))
What can you do to stay provoked to do good works and to walk in love? Feed on the examples of men and women who lived as striking examples of love and good works. Don't fall into the temptation of saying things like "That's their own life. Me I can't come and do that kind of thing. If you do me good, I will do you good" Rather, when you hear or read of outstanding examples of love and good works, ask the Lord to help you go and do likewise.
_MEDITATION:_
*And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.* (Galatians 6:9-10 (KJV))

*THE POWER OF THE RENEWED MIND* (The End)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"In conclusion, my friends, fill your minds with those things that are good and that deserve praise: things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and honorable."*
(Philippians 4: 8 (GNB))
_Bible Insight:_
In concluding this series on the power of the renewed mind, let's look at additional practices we must internalize and make a part of our day to day activities. We can renew our mind in doing the following:
4. By deliberate intentional thought management:
Philippians 4:8 (Amp) says *"For the rest, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is worthy of reverence and is honorable and seemly, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely and lovable, whatever is kind and winsome and gracious, if there is any virtue and excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think on and weigh and take account of these things [fix your minds on them]."*
Guard your heart with all diligence. What enters your mind determines the output of your life. It is YOUR responsibility to manage your thought process. It is up to you to ensure that what goes into your mind, will be in compliance with Philippians 4:8. When you do this, you are mastering the practice of renewing your mind.
5. By discovering who you are in Christ.
Find all the "IN HIM" scripture, meditate on them and practice their reality. Let's take Romans 8:37 (KJV), it says *"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us."* This means YOU are MORE THAN CONQUERORS. This means you are victorious over the vicissitudes of life.
Another example, is found in Romans 8:32 (KJV), and it says *"He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"* This simply means in and through Christ, you have access to all things that God can offer! Hallelujah!
This too is important: 1 Corinthians 1:30 (KJV) says *"But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:"* You are an explanation of God's wisdom in Christ. You are also a carrier of the wisdom of God through Christ. Same thing for wisdom, applies to righteousness, sanctification and redemption.
6. By choosing the right association.
Wrong people with great potential get derailed by wrong association. Don't ever allow your mind renewal get derailed or distracted by being involved with the wrong association.
_MEDITATION:_
*Make this declaration: My mind is renewed and my mind continues to undergo daily renewal treatment as I apply myself to the word and to obey the Spirit of God in all things in Jesus name. Amen*
(Culled from Sunday Message By Pastor Evangelist K. C. Onyegbuna)
