*DAILY DEW 6/APRIL/2024*
*Honouring God* (2)
_Key Bible Text:_
*"So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine."* Proverbs 3:10 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Proverbs 3:9-10 (Amplified) Honor the Lord with your capital and sufficiency [from righteous labors] and with the firstfruits of all your income; So shall your storage places be filled with plenty, and your vats shall be overflowing with new wine.
God's word is replete with instructions that proposes that giving to God or at the instance of God's word, provokes abundance as a result.
Luke 6:38 (GNB) Give to others, and God will give to you. Indeed, you will receive a full measure, a generous helping, poured into your hands -- all that you can hold. The measure you use for others is the one that God will use for you.”
So in honouring God, our substance is not left behind or excluded. Our giving must be done cheerfully and gladly.
2 Corinthians 9:6-7 (KJV) But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
_MEDITATION:_
*"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work."* (2 Corinthians 9:8 (KJV))

*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))

*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."*

*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!"*
