*DAILY DEW 17TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO MISSIONS* (V) _Key Bible Text:_ *And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.* (Matthew 19:29 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Sunday evening came. It was my first Sunday. I should have brought an evangelistic message, but again I felt led to speak on missions, and I did so. Then I asked the people to come back every night that week. They came, and on Monday night I gave them missions again. On Tuesday they got another dose of missions. Wednesday night they had to listen to still another missionary address. On Thursday night it was missions again. By Friday they were coming in increasing numbers, perhaps more out of curiosity than for any other reason, and once again they got a dose of missions. Then, I suppose they folded their arms, saying one to another, “This new pastor of ours, we cannot understand him. He doesn’t seem to have any sermons except on missions. But the second Sunday is coming. Perhaps then he will really start to preach.” The second Sunday came. I can remember it as though it were yesterday. At the morning service I made an announcement. “We are going to hold three services today,” I said, “and take up three missionary offerings: one this morning, another this afternoon and the last one tonight.” Some of them seemed to look at me in amazement, but I had started my work, assisted by one missionary, with an attempt at a missionary convention, and I was determined to see it through. That morning I spoke on missions and took up a missionary offering. I did the same in the afternoon and again at night. Here I was, hardly saying a word about home needs and yet taking all the money I could get from them for missions. But now for the sequel. _MEDITATION:_ *“The light that shines farthest shines brightest nearest home"* -- Oswald J. Smith (Culled from The Challenge of Missions by Oswald J.

*DAILY DEW 10TH/DECEMBER/2021* *THE WORD ABOVE ALL* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.* (Hebrews 13:7 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In 2021, a Pastor in one of the largest denominations in the world is still burying bibles under the foundation of the church building saying the church is standing on the word of God. We are still in such a bad shape doctrinally because we have resisted corrections all these years. No one who makes progress in the word does so by being stubborn and proud against the word. When I met the word, it disrupted all I ever believed. I had even seen more miracles - blind eyes opening, lame walking, and creative miracles where I come from before then! But I submitted to the word because it is the Word! Till date, show me in scriptures and that is the final. I mean there are many portions that aren't grey at all; it's black and white. _MEDITATION:_ *"For we are not as many, which corrupt the word of God: but as of sincerity, but as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ."* (2 Corinthians 2:17 (KJV)) *#Adebowale_Ibukun_Tosin* *#Friday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Supernatural_Supplies_Month* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#GuestMessage* *#Hello_December* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *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/the-word-above-all-ii.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 3RD/DECEMBER/2021* *As Jesus or As yourself?* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *This is how we've come to understand and experience love: Christ sacrificed his life for us. This is why we ought to live sacrificially for our fellow believers, and not just be out for ourselves.* (1 John 3:16 (The Message)) _Bible Insight:_ When Christmas is littered with new clothes, shoes, business boom and increase in commercial activities, ritual killings rumours, kidnappings, pick pocketing, one chance encounters, missing persons alert, Christmas rice and chickens to mention but a few, we easily miss the real focus of Christmas-- the Christ that was born to die, to rise and to reign eternally. We must never forget that Christmas is not about an opportunity to travel to the village with our latest show off biz efforts. Actually, we must however travel from John 3:16 to 1 John 3:16: Jesus threw a huge challenge at you and I, if we are truly his followers and not just some bunch of fun lovers, mistaking church for Christ, while also mistaking the Christ for the Chris, who happens to be our neighbor or some old school mate. Jesus indeed laid a different and more challenging rule with his life before he died on the cross. He said you ought to love as He himself loved- Not as you will like to love. In fact, not even as you will like to be loved. By the advent of John 13:34, Jesus overruled Mark 12:31 and everywhere else the position the commandment therein was contained. *And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.* (Mark 12:3 (KJV)) Please note this. This commandment along with the first part that says we should love God were the greatest commandments until Jesus began by saying, A NEW COMMANDMENT.... Jesus was fully aware that He was about to lay a new rule down. He was about to shift the goal post right in the middle of the match and like it or not, He had every right to! _MEDITATION:_ *When next someone says "Love your neighbour as you love yourself" Tell them that is the old rule. The new rule is to love as Jesus loves. May we receive grace to do likewise. Amen.* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Friday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Supernatural_Supplies_Month* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Hello_December* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *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/as-jesus-or-as-yourself-ii.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 26TH/NOVEMBER/2021* *THE TRAGEDY OF THE MAJORITY* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Go in through the narrow gate. The gate to destruction is wide, and the road that leads there is easy to follow. A lot of people go through that gate. But the gate to life is very narrow. The road that leads there is so hard to follow that only a few people find it.* (Matthew 7:13-14 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ When I first read the classic poem _"The Road Not Taken"_ By Robert Frost, I think I sort of fell in love with it. You will love it if you are a poem lover. 😀 I think it caught my interest, among other reasons, because it ended with how the choice of following the path less traveled by (I.e. the unpopular path), *"made all the difference."* Beloved, everyone who will make a difference for God, must be a person who doesn't get carried away by what the world wants & thinks. *A lot of people do not take their walk with God seriously simply because a lot of people do not take God seriously* A lot of people are scared of standing out. If you are scared of standing out, looking weird, talking differently, and doing things differently, you will never go very far with God. Abraham proved this statement right. He never cared what others thought when he wanted to leave his father's house to embark on a Journey to where he doesn't even know! He never hesitated to take Isaac his only son to sacrifice for God. Today, even after Christ, He still stands as a Father of Faith! What are you scared of? Why are you so concerned about what others think about how you love or worship or follow God! God is never found by the crowd and band wagon effect followers. God is almost always going against the crowd and popular demand. Following hard after God is actually going against the tide. You need to develop a mind-of-your-own approach if you must find God and do His bidden. Heaven is not going to be achieved by the validation seeking, people pleasing, attention seeking, never offending anybody type of believers. _MEDITATION:_ *I will rise now, and go about the city in the streets, and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.* (Song of Solomon 3:2 (KJV)) PS: If you must find God, the lover of your soul, don't seek him in the city streets and in the broad ways of life. #Selah *And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.* (Luke 16:15 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Friday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Supernatural_Supplies_Month* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Hello_November* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *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/2021/11/the-tragedy-of-majority-ii.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 19TH/NOVEMBER/2021* *POSITIVE PROVOCATION* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works."* (Hebrews 10:24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Generally speaking, to provoke someone is to do something that is disapproved of. Provocation is *"action or speech that makes someone angry, especially deliberately."* It also means *"the action of arousing sexual desire or interest, especially deliberately."* However, in Hebrews 10:24 there is another kind of provocation that is introduced. It is one that does good, glorifies God, and creates a pull for others to do good and glorify God. This is a positive kind of provocation. How do you provoke another to love and to good works? The first thing is to practice love and good works. Be an example of what it means to walk in love. Be an example of doing good works. Dorcas was an excellent example. When her name was mentioned for the first time in the Bible it had a unique introduction: *"Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did."* (Acts 9:36 (KJV)) What can you do to stay provoked to do good works and to walk in love? Feed on the examples of men and women who lived as striking examples of love and good works. Don't fall into the temptation of saying things like "That's their own life. Me I can't come and do that kind of thing. If you do me good, I will do you good" Rather, when you hear or read of outstanding examples of love and good works, ask the Lord to help you go and do likewise. _MEDITATION:_ *And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.* (Galatians 6:9-10 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Friday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Supernatural_Supplies_Month* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Hello_November* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *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/2021/11/positive-provocation.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
