*DAILY DEW 16/JANUARY/2024* The Folly In Man!! 5 _Key Bible Text:_ *"Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort."* (Daniel 3:29 (KJV) _Bible Insight:_ The real lesson we all fail to learn is that we never learn until it is late! Sadly! One would think that the King would now repent for real. Again, Daniel and his colleagues had proven again that Nebuchadnezzar is but a king of folly! Yet, the king would still fail to learn. His own decree that anyone who says any thing amiss against God would be cut in pieces and their houses made a dunghill became a prophecy that would register against him. He had another dream and this time, he no longer was seen as a golden head of a great image but a great tree that would be cut down. He was warned to becareful but alas he never learned. Just twelve months after, he opened his mouth to exhibit folly, but God had had enough! The decree of his own mouth was executed against him but this time, by God sent law enforcement agents. He was cut in pieces until he was left as an animal literally. And his own house became the dunghill of the forest where he grew and ran around like a mad beast with long hairs and nails. Man would always think too much of himself. We think we can outsmart God. We think we are wiser than God. What a shame. Even such empty lofty thoughts are yet a confirmation of the folly in man! _MEDITATION:_ 1 Corinthians 3:18-19 (KJV) Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you seemeth to be wise in this world, let him become a fool, that he may be wise. For 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙨𝙙𝙤𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙤𝙧𝙡𝙙 𝙞𝙨 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙂𝙤𝙙. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2024* ❤ 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 15/JANUARY/2024* The Folly In Man!! 4 _Key Bible Text:_ *"Therefore because the king's commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego."* (Daniel 3:22 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Zeal without knowledge is a disease that is deadly. Likewise, knowledge without zeal is even worse but Knowledge controlled by wisdom is the best. For wisdom is always justified by her children. Man's folly lies in his quickness to follow passionately vain men and men who by rather fallen standards are considered successful and desirable to be followed. A following that's both senseless and sycophantic. Fire is dangerous enough. What haste from the command of a power drunk king would make you hurry so much that you hurry to your own death!? I weep for the likes of Jonathan whose inability to "unfollow" his father, saul, led him to a rather untimely and avoidable death! The folly in man, makes many unable to decipher what really matters and to stick to such. We play too much. We play to the gallery. We play to the music of sentiments and emotions. We miss what is important and aim for what appears important but merely a distraction and delusion. Oh! Man! Who has bewitched us!? _MEDITATION:_ Proverbs 14:12 (KJV) There is 𝕒 𝕨𝕒𝕪 𝕨𝕙𝕚𝕔𝕙 𝕤𝕖𝕖𝕞𝕖𝕥𝕙 right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2024* ❤ 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 14/JANUARY/2024* The Folly In Man!! 3 _Key Bible Text:_ *"Then an herald cried aloud, To you it is commanded, O people, nations, and languages, That at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up"* (Daniel 3:4-5 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The great zeal mankind put into the pursuit of luxury and vanity is another confirmation of the folly in man! Man's folly lies in his quickness to insist on things that are highly unnecessary and vain glorious. When man get power drunk as he is wont to do, he insists on things that are simply wasteful or like they say, white-elephant-project like. It is disappointing enough that the golden image was built in the first place. Recall that only the head of the image was actually made of Gold and was set to represent the era of this ungrateful King. In his own statue, he built everything of gold. A silent but obvious rebellion and protest that only the head of the image was gold. The entire image should be gold-- hence he built it. In his vain mind, a dream is not as powerful as something really tangible. He thought to "cancel" the dream by building an all gold statue. This is also a quiet attempt at resisting the opportunity for the stone carved out without hands to be able to smash the statue from the weak and maleable clay and iron feet as the dream foretold. The consequences of Nebuchadnezzar's stubborn and foolish ways will eventually catch up with him. Such shall be the fate of anyone who fails to stamp out human nature folly by the renewing of their minds and the transformation that comes from such continuous renewal. _MEDITATION:_ Romans 12:2 (KJV) And be not conformed to this world: 𝙗𝙪𝙩 𝙗𝙚 𝙮𝙚 𝙩𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙨𝙛𝙤𝙧𝙢𝙚𝙙 𝙗𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙣𝙚𝙬𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙤𝙛 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙙, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2024* ❤ 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 13/JANUARY/2024* The Folly In Man!! 2 _Key Bible Text:_ *"Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.* (Daniel 3:1 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The Idea of "The great image" rather than move the King to the worship of God, moved the king to the worship of Gold. What a great folly! Man's folly lies in his quickness to desire more than is necessary; coveteousness. The king would both forget who made Him and also desire to gain more fame, prominence, glory and even worship! This is very much typical of the human nature. The emilokans of this world have tasted it all, but yet they will always want more! To be able to draw the line between covetousness/greed and a healthy desire for more growth and expansion is great gain! Most people do not seem to know where to draw the line. Or else why would a king, who never ever had an idea of an image, even forgot the dream, and also admited that God is the revealer of secrets, go ahead to set up a huge Golden Image and insist that all must bow to the said image? _MEDITATION:_ 𝙋𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙨 14:1 (𝙆𝙅𝙑) 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙤𝙡 𝙝𝙖𝙩𝙝 𝙨𝙖𝙞𝙙 𝙞𝙣 𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙝𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙩, 𝙏𝙝𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙞𝙨 𝙣𝙤 𝙂𝙤𝙙. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2024* ❤ 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 12/JANUARY/2024* The Folly In Man!! _Key Bible Text:_ *"Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible."* (Daniel 2:31 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ "The great image" idea was from a disturbing dream King Nubechadnezzar had. He forgot the dream and needed a revelation of both the dream and the interpretation of it. He got both but unfortunately forgot who revealed the dream or how he got the interpretation. Man's folly lies in his quickness in forgetting who MADE him. Daniel's intervention saved the day. The king had to admit as follows: Daniel 2:47 (KJV) The king answered unto Daniel, and said, Of a truth it is, that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou couldest reveal this secret. Before this, the king also did this:- Daniel 2:46 (KJV) Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odours unto him. But what happened next would shock the discerning mind! _MEDITATION:_ 𝙋𝙨𝙖𝙡𝙢𝙨 49:13 (𝙆𝙅𝙑) 𝙏𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙬𝙖𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙛𝙤𝙡𝙡𝙮: 𝙮𝙚𝙩 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙥𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙨𝙖𝙮𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨.
