*DAILY DEW 5/APRIL/2024* *Honouring God* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Honour the LORD with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:"* Proverbs 3:9 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ To honour God is to love him, obey him, and please him. God loves to be sincerely and genuinely honoured. God detects and detests shallow honour that is born of hypocrisy and unfaithfulness. Isaiah 29:13-14 (Amplified Bible): And the Lord said, Forasmuch as this people draw near Me with their mouth and honor Me with their lips but remove their hearts and minds far from Me, and their fear and reverence for Me are a commandment of men that is learned by repetition [without any thought as to the meaning], Therefore, behold! I will again do marvelous things with this people, marvelous and astonishing things; and the wisdom of their wise men will perish, and the understanding of their discerning men will vanish or be hidden. God demands we honour him with our minds, souls, spirit and bodies (strength). Thus adding our substance can be a sign of genuine honour but when even that is done without genuine obedience or regard, God is not pleased. Honour God with your substance & do so genuinely. _MEDITATION:_ *"A son honoureth his father, and a servant his master: if then I be a father, where is mine honour? and if I be a master, where is my fear? saith the LORD of hosts unto you, O priests, that despise my name. And ye say, Wherein have we despised thy name?"* (Malachi 1:6 (KJV)) *#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 4/APRIL/2024* *FEAR THE LORD, DEPART FROM EVIL* 2 _Key Bible Text:_ *"It shall be health to thy navel, and marrow to thy bones."* Proverbs 3:8 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The fear of God and abstinence from evil brings health to the body. Proverbs 3:7-8 (GNB) Never let yourself think that you are wiser than you are; simply obey the LORD and refuse to do wrong. If you do, it will be like good medicine, healing your wounds and easing your pains. Evil doing births Ill health. Doing good by the fear of God also promotes health. Never think it is wrong to refrain from evil because you are afraid of God. Being afraid of God and refraining from evil is healthy and biblical. When your love for God makes you obey God, you are also being biblical. Likewise when your fear for God makes you obey God, you are also being biblical. In the end, only those who truly believe and have received Jesus as Lord by faith, can truly please God. And for them, they have what it takes to please or obey God. Hence, your being afraid of God and obeying him out of fear is only because you have first believed and received what it takes to be the sons of God. _MEDITATION:_ *"Even if you claim to love God,but are yet to receive Jesus as Lord and savior, you will still fail to please or obey God."* *#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 3/APRIL/2024* *FEAR THE LORD, DEPART FROM EVIL* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil."* Proverbs 3:7 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The fear of the Lord makes you wise by making you depart from evil. It is in your departure from evil, that the fear of the Lord is proven! The proof of godly reverence is in your godly abstinence from evil. You cannot fear God, and at the same time, embrace or condone evil. The two are mutually exclusive. The bible teaches that we should fear God. Jesus was very explicit and didn't mince words in Matthew 10:28 (KJV): *And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather FEAR HIM which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.* He not only taught the fear God, but he indirectly said, we should fear God because He destroys both body and soul in hell! _MEDITATION:_ *"It is okay to argue that God does not send people to hell. Well, he created hell and Jesus said he destroys both soul and body in hell. Think about it!"* *#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 2/APRIL/2024* *Trust in the LORD* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.."* Proverbs 3:5-6 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The United States of America, has their motto as "In God We Trust". But even such beautiful mottos don't actually mean much until one through consistent actions show that they trust God. Why should you trust God? Your knowledge is limited. We don't always see beyond our noses. Common sense is limited and even common sense is too common to make one exceptional in life. You can't be the best until you go beyond common sense and common knowledge. Trusting in God, gives you access to do things beyond common sense and common knowledge. Those who trust in God, actually take more actions, exhibit more courage, make more mistakes at times, and at the same time, achieve more results, because God has got them covered. Those who take risk and those who quit playing safe, and leave their comfort zones exhibit that they truly trust God. _MEDITATION:_ *"When last did you TRUST God enough to do more than you will normally do?"* *#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 1/APRIL/2024* *NEW LIFE BEFORE NEW RULES* _Key Bible Text:_ *"As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."* (John 17:2-3 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Religious rules and regulations are great. For where there are no rules, disorder is very likely. But rules are not the first thing in our relationship with God. The first thing is a new life. God gave us His Son so that whosoever believes in Him will receive this new life: the God-kind of life. This makes us a new specie of human beings. A new race created to be like Him, to think like Him, and to act like Him. Giving Christian rules to a person who doesn't have eternal life is like asking a dead man to obey your rules. What you will get is frustrations and disappointments! The change cannot be real. It will be like forcing a person to comply. That's what happens with dead religion.. So what God did was to give us His life, His nature, His very own DNA, what we call ETERNAL LIFE! In Christ, we become children of God. Now when we let this divine life govern our thoughts, words, and actions, we will not struggle with righteous rules and regulations. They will flow from within. The transformation is from inside out. _MEDITATION:_ *"So what God did was to give us His life, His nature, His very own DNA, what we call ETERNAL LIFE!"* *#David_O._Alabi * *#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.
