*DAILY DEW 29TH/MARCH/2022* *THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT MARRIAGE* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Summing up: Be agreeable, be sympathetic, be loving, be compassionate, be humble. That goes for all of you, no exceptions. No retaliation. No sharp-tongued sarcasm. Instead, bless--that's your job, to bless. You'll be a blessing and also get a blessing."* (1 Peter 3:8-9 (The Message)) _Bible Insight:_ There are stages that every marriage will go through. These stages can make or mar your marriage. Hence, understanding what these stages can bring is key, so you know what to do and how to make the most of each stage. The number one stage of marriage is:- 1. The honey moon stage: This one is usually the easiest and the one that attracts many singles towards marriage. Alas, it is just an introductory stage of marriage that starts informally from serious courtship and more formally after the wedding night. It may last from a month to a year, more or less depending on the couple. PS- Some have learned to move from a short term honey moon stage, to a life time honey moon, sometimes called, honey years. The key to this switch still lies in understanding every stage of marriage and working towards the best of each stage. 2. The reality stage-- This is when the real person shows up. All the sugar coated-ness and best-foot showing, gradually begins to wear off. Shocks and surprises at differences of the two individuals begins to rear their (ugly) heads up. At this stage, Mr Right becomes Mr Wrong or Mr Not So Right, while Mrs Right, wants to remain Mrs Right even when she is wrong. At this stage, there are two other possible Stages that would naturally come up next, depending on the parties -- it is either the Retaliation Stage or The Renovation Stage. This reality stage is usually where many lose it and thereby forgo their rather shortlived "firebrand, together forever love" they had professed to each other. _MEDITATION:_ *"Every stage of marriage can either make or mar your marriage. But knowing what to do, and doing what it takes to keep your marriage on top and in good shape, is the way to having a successful married life"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Hello_March* ❤ (Culled from Young Ministers Fire Camp Meeting, March, 2022) 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 *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 22ND/MARCH/2022* *ARE YOU LED?* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God."* (Romans 8:14 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ We have refused to be led! Being led of God legitimises your sonship Submit to the ordinance of the purpose and plan of God. Jesus was not gently led to the wilderness but he was driven to the wilderness. Jesus dealt with the flesh in the wilderness Our greatest hindrance to being led of God is not a demon but the flesh. Until flesh is dealt with, we can't be easily led by God The spirit of this age is on a rampage. Until you die, you can't be led. The evidence that the spirit of the age is on rampage is found in what christian youths do on social media You can't follow God unless you are willing to be led.. God's ways are not always interesting, exciting, _MEDITATION:_ *"The question is not what is in it for me?"* *"The question is what is in it for God? ."* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_March* ❤ (Culled from Young Ministers Fire Camp Meeting, March, 2022) 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 *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 15TH/MARCH/2022* *Faith Series: Samson- an unlikely man of Faith* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Then went Samson down, and his father and his mother, to Timnath, and came to the vineyards of Timnath: and, behold, a young lion roared against him. And the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done."* (Judges 14:5-6 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Performed Acts of Righteousness (Heb. 11:33) We also see Samson's faithful dependence on God at the end of chapter 15. After defeating a thousand men with the jawbone of a donkey, Samson became very thirsty. Samson realized that God was the sustainer of his life and asked God to quench his thirst, confidently knowing that God could. At first, Samson's prayer seems disrespectful and out of anger toward God. Samson, however, also acknowledged that he should glorify God because it was by his power that he killed 1,000 men. Furthermore, Samson did not want God's glorious victory to be diminished by the surrendering of one of God's servants to his enemies. Viewed in that light, his prayer was the furthest thing from being disrespectful. Because of his sincere prayer, God sent water to revive Samson. As James writes, "The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much" (Jas. 5:16). Certainly, it was "by faith" that Samson "performed" this act of righteousness. Became Mighty in War, Put Foreign Armies to Flight (Heb. 11:34) As a judge, one of Samson's responsibilities was to de-liver God's people from oppressors (Judg. 2:18). Samson was faithful to God by carrying out God's purpose for him. The Scriptures tell us that Samson sought "an occasion against the Philistines" (14:4). Samson found two separate occasions to afflict the Philistines in chapter 15. The first was "a great slaughter" (v. 8). The second was the occasion where Samson killed a thousand men with a jawbone of a donkey (v. 5). Samson certainly became "mighty in war" and "put foreign armies to flight" for the sake of God and his people. God has given us a purpose as well. Paul said that we were "created for good works, which God prepared before-hand, that we should walk in them" (Eph. 2:10). _MEDITATION:_ *"Like Samson, we must be faithful to God by carrying out his purpose for us. We must constantly seek occasions to do good works for God and men. Only then may we be "mighty in war" in God's army."* *#Jonathan_Brown* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_March* ❤ 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 *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 8TH/MARCH/2022* *Faith Series: The Courage of Gideon* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets."* (Hebrews 11:32 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ 2. It takes a courageous faith to throw down the altars of Baal. “Israel’s religious leaders were ‘Modernists’! They had turned away from the good old gospel of salvation by faith in the God who had brought Israel out of Egypt. They had said: ‘How do we know that Jehovah is the only real God? or that He is even the greatest of the gods? After all, we have never seen Him; nor has anybody else ever seen Him. How do we really know that our forefathers were right in what they said about Him? We have only their word for it. They were probably mistaken. Look at the magnificent temples and impressive gods of the surrounding nations. No wonder they despise our own inferior-looking religion. Their gods can be seen. There can be no doubting their reality. Why should we cling to the worn-old faith of yesterday? Give us modern gods and an up-to-date religion!’” (J. Sidlow Baxter). It certainly takes courage to break down the modern altars of Baal. It means being unpopular when we denounce apostasy, but fearless, courageous believers are needed who will say with Paul:- *"What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice."* (Philippians 1:18 (KJV)) _MEDITATION:_ *"For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death."* -- Philippians 1:19-20 (KJV) *#Francis_Dixon* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_March* ❤ 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 *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 1ST/MARCH/2022* *MARCHING TOWARDS MATURITY* _Key Bible Text:_ *"So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed."* (Acts 19:20 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ God's word is so powerful! The way it changes lives is indescribable. No case is hopeless! Satan knows the power of the WORD hence he's corrupted it for many with human traditions and enticing words of human wisdom. But the truth will prevail! Many believers don't have faith in the power of God's word. They will pay huge sums for anger management classes because they don't believe the word can destroy every work of the flesh. So, when some of us say we don't need such classes they think it's because we've never had such issues. No, we've been there but the word worked! I'm talking about real bible study that births a vibrant prayer culture, not some human philosophy wrapped in bible verses. The only thing that subdues the works of the flesh is the Spirit! People come into church with different kinds of weaknesses. If our meetings aren't filled with spiritual activities able to deal with these issues, the works of the flesh will thrive in our midst! In other words, if we are not praying, studying, and doing ministry together as we should, people will be involved with other things. That is the beginning of scandals. No congregation will rise above the quality of spiritual oversight and training they receive. _MEDITATION:_ *"If we preach based on the trends of today, we cannot impact the next generation with the same messages since trends will always come and go. If we preach the eternal gospel of Christ, our message remains timeless in an ever changing world. Let's preach the gospel! Selah."* *#Adebowale_Ibukun_Tosin* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Happy_New_Year_2022* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_March* ❤ Links To Visit: *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/12/trusting-against-all-odds.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.
