*DAILY DEW 29/DECEMBER/2022* *THE NEED FOR PROPER APPEARANCE* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life"* (Proverbs 6:23 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ A truly spiritual person will never consider a sister dressing like a whore for any relationship. Sister, stop spoiling your prayers looking like the whore that you are not! Dress well. Dress right. Cover your body properly. It makes no sense to look like the loose person that you are not. What's the hypocrisy of having what you wear to church, and what you can wear everywhere else but church? Holiness isn't about the meeting place, it is the ever-abiding presence of God that makes you holy. No, you cannot dress as the world dictates, you are different, you are not of this world, you are of God. Whatever you can't wear to church meetings, doesn't belong to your wardrobe. Your wardrobe must not be against you, by misrepresenting you. Moses was confused for an Egyptian because of the robe he had on. What's all that piercing and tattoo about. After all these years in the faith, it is the tattoo that you crave. Wearing clothes that could barely cover you enough isn't growth, it is degeneration! You want to be radical, cast out devils, and heal the sick, not by tiding to worldly influences. Don't degrade into a heretic that the kind of godly men you seek for life partners have been warned to avoid. _MEDITATION:_ *"You should halt your descent into worldliness, and ascend again the hill of God. The world has nothing to offer you. Don't take satan's bait!

*DAILY DEW 28/DECEMBER/2022* *THE NEED FOR STRONG REPROOFS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life"* (Proverbs 6:23 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Without strong reproofs, permissiveness and looseness can very easily become the culture of your house, especially in how your leaders and workers are adorned. I remember years back, a young lady in the choir came to church wearing a see through dress to lead the singing. I came into the church and it was annoying as it was embarrassing. I stopped the singing, called her out, and told her to go home, change their dress and come back. She apologized and said that was all she could wear that Sunday Morning after the service. I gave her money after the service to go get a replacement, and told her to never dress like that anywhere, it was that bad, but she eventually dropped out of the church, but those that stayed on shared up in how they dressed and what they wore to church. The shock was the number of people that came to praise my courage to fix the shameful thing right and there. *Don't allow unruly people to create a counterculture in the house. If they cannot follow, peacefully ask them to leave!* It is why a Pastor must be of good courage. Some heretics cannot be admonished, and the cure is to reject and eject them out of the groups they seek to ruin, and as is always the case, they will move on, which is good for the church and them too. Don't allow one small girl to turn your hand and walk all over you; fix it. You cannot spend time teaching and then someone chooses to do as he or she pleases and walk all over the church, and dress like she is going to the club to lead singing in the church. I'd rather pray than have such singing. You cannot have a house full of scantily dressed ladies, and have the move the Spirit in signs and wonders, because we will have an explosion of naked boobs and bums! So the Holy Spirit would rather not deal. *Proper dressing should still be taught, and enforced among workers and leaders. We cannot keep looking the other way, and say, "the Holy Spirit will fix it!"* Despite Aarons flowing dresses, he was still to wear boxers from the waste to the thigh to prevent his nakedness from appearing by similitude to the people and before God. Ministering forbids nakedness. (NET) Exodus 28:42-43: "⁴² Make for them linen undergarments to cover their naked bodies; they must cover from the waist to the thighs. ⁴³ These must be on Aaron and his sons when they enter to the tent of meeting, or when they approach the altar to minister in the Holy Place, so that they bear no iniquity and die. It is to be a perpetual ordinance for him and his descendants after him." _MEDITATION:_ *"Set a standard for acceptable dressing in your house. Ensure no one in your workforce dresses and looks whorish, having eyes full of adultery. Don't discuss it, fix it."* *#Austine_Oviawe* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_DECEMBER* ❤ *#GuestMessage* Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 22/DECEMBER/2022* *REDISCOVERING THE HABIT OF DAILY PERSONAL QUIET TIME* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into a solitary place, and there prayed."* (Mark 1:35 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Prayerlessness and not reading your Bible daily (The Twin Discipline For Spiritual Progress) should be treated with the same importance and urgency. Jesus said people err (get it wrong) because; 1. They DONT KNOW the scriptures. 2. They DONT KNOW the power of God. (AMPC) Matthew 22:29: "²⁹ But Jesus replied to them, You are wrong because you know neither the Scriptures nor God’s power." You need to become thoroughly acquainted with the will of God, which is the word of God as captured in scriptures, and the Holy Spirit who is the power of God. Knowing the scriptures will help you pray better, and praying better will help you work God's power, and understand scriptures better. Many people excuse their neglect with being too busy as in work and family demands, and traffic stress for those that live in congested urban places like Lagos. *Spiritual disciplines are not for lazy and idle people.* Looking back, I actually read much more and prayed much more when I had a 16 hours a day job. The lack of time made me consecrate to pray without fail, deleted entertainment and things not so important. I never prayed less than two hours and read for a minimum of one hour. *The key for busy believers maintaining and developing their prayer lives and reading habit is to redeem the time!* Do not allow anything bring about neglect of your daily spiritual disciplines, or else you become used to not praying and reading at all, dig in and set apart time away from your work time to pray and read, as in read, not that reading of one, two, three or four chapters daily, and thinking God understands, the issue is the ignorance and lack that prayerlessness generates, not God understanding! Daniel was a Prime Minister that prayed three times daily! *Your spiritual disciplines must be built around purpose, commitment and consecration, not idleness, and zero demand for your time.* Even if you are not as busy, and have all the time, you must build your disciplines like someone who has no time, and have very stringent demand on your time. _MEDITATION:_ *"Prosecute your praying and reading like a person that has to leave for work 6am and return late owing to traffic, don't allow your downtime become what you use for these strategic disciplines, otherwise when you get that job, get married, get admitted to study and life take it's normal toll, you will find it impossible to pray and read completely."* *#Austine_Oviawe* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_DECEMBER* ❤ *#GuestMessage* Links To Visit: *Register4HTP2022:* https://bit.ly/HTP2022_ACTIVATED *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
