*DAILY DEW 18/APRIL/2024* *Wisdom & Understanding* (6) _Key Bible Text:_ *"My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion: So shall they be life unto thy soul, and grace to thy neck." (Proverbs 3:21-22 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Wisdom & understanding are to be cherished, sought out, applied, guarded & shared. If you focus on wisdom & understanding, you will grow in it. Hence, you are to ensure that you keep your eyes on the goal -- to grow in wisdom & understanding. Keep sound wisdom & understanding. It is not enough to have it. You must keep, apply, walk in it. Solomon was reknown for wisdom but if you look at his end, you will realize his wisdom was not kept or applied in His life consistently to the end. He veered off at some point. Anyone can veer off the main road of wisdom into the bush paths of foolishness. You can begin in wisdom and end in foolishness. Know this and be wise. So shall they be life unto thy soul and grace to thy neck. It is as you keep wisdom in view and keep walking in tune with it, that your soul will find true life and grace. _MEDITATION:_ *Dear friend, guard Clear Thinking and Common Sense with your life; don't for a minute lose sight of them. They'll keep your soul alive and well, they'll keep you fit and attractive.* (Proverbs 3:21-22) *#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 14/APRIL/2024* *Wisdom & Understanding* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *"She is more precious than rubies: and all the things thou canst desire are not to be compared unto her. Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand riches and honour."* Proverbs 3:15-16 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Wisdom & understanding are more precious than rubies. In fact, "all the things you can desire" cannot be compared with wisdom & understanding. King Solomon gave a fine example of this. When he was to ask God for something after his rise to the throne, he asked for wisdom! How pleased God was with him! Our desire for money or wealth should never be stronger than our desire for wisdom & understanding. Length of days or longevity come with wisdom & understanding. If you would last in any good thing, you will need wisdom & understanding. Riches & honour also comes to the one who finds wisdom & gets understanding. If you focus on wisdom & understanding, riches & honour will eventually become yours! _MEDITATION:_ Wisdom is more valuable than jewels; nothing you could want can compare with it. Wisdom offers you long life, as well as wealth and honor.

*DAILY DEW 13/APRIL/2024* *Wisdom & Understanding* (1) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding. For the merchandise of it is better than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold."* Proverbs 3:13-14 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Find wisdom. Get understanding. Whatever you already have, You don't have to find. If you have to find it, then you don't have it or you don't have it enough! Whatever you have to get, is something you don't have or don't have enough of. We are to find wisdom and get understanding, because we will need them and cannot have enough of them. 13. Happy is anyone who becomes wise---who comes to have understanding. 14. There is more profit in it than there is in silver; it is worth more to you than gold. _MEDITATION:_ As silver and gold can be gathered, so is wisdom and understanding. How rich are you in wisdom & understanding? *#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 11/APRIL/2024* *Spiritual Disciplines* (4) _Key Bible Text:_ *"My son, do not despise or shrink from the chastening of the Lord [His correction by punishment or by subjection to suffering or trial]; neither be weary of or impatient about or loathe or abhor His reproof, For whom the Lord loves He corrects, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights."* Proverbs 3:11-12 (Amplified)) _Bible Insight:_ ....Neither be weary of or impatient about or loathe or abhor His reproof, For whom the Lord loves He corrects, even as a father corrects the son in whom he delights. God's punishment is not only physical or through challenges or trials. In the new testament, God does more of corrections by His word, and through the ministry of the Holy Spirit who drives godly sorrow and repentance. Take Peter for instance. He took the word of Jesus as a prior rebuke and felt great godly sorrow when he remembered the word of the master:- Mark 14:72 (KJV) And the second time the cock crew. And PETER CALLED TO MIND THE WORD THAT JESUS SAID UNTO HIM, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when HE THOUGHT thereon, he wept. God's word is designed to bring corrections and instructions unto righteousness. It is against this backdrop, one must learn to be humble in the face of corrections or instructions by God's word. _MEDITATION:_ *"A generation that prefers God's promises and blessings above God's commandments and injunctions, will be hardened or shrink at the rebuke of the Lord"* *#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 10/APRIL/2024* *Spiritual Disciplines* (3) _Key Bible Text:_ *"My son, do not make your heart hard against the Lord's teaching; do not be made angry by his training: For to those who are dear to him the Lord says sharp words, and makes the son in whom he has delight undergo pain."* Proverbs 3:11-12 (BBE)) _Bible Insight:_ Do not make your HEART HARD against the Lord's teaching; do not be made ANGRY by his training: For to those who are dear to him the Lord says SHARP WORDS, and makes the son in whom he has delight UNDERGO PAIN. Think of Miriam, who in Exodus 15:20 (KJV) was called "the prophetess, the sister of Aaron". But in Numbers 12:1 (KJV) "Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman." This attracted God's severe correction and discipline. Numbers 12:9-10 (KJV) And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them; and he departed. And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous. God punished a prophetess. Even Moses himself had his share of discipline too when he struck the rock twice rather than speak to the rock as the Lord instructed. God is no respecter of persons. _MEDITATION:_ *"A generation that does not learn that God is a disciplinarian will definitely take God for granted and will scoff at corrections"* *#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.
