*DAILY DEW 13/APRIL/2022* *TAKING THE GATES OF ECONOMY* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And the LORD shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the LORD thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them"* (Deuteronomy 28:13 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The gift of service will make a way for you if you must take the gates of economy & finance. Every value served opens an opportunity for financial remuneration. To significantly impact the economy, we must render significant values that attracts remuneration while bettering the lives of people. Serve loyally in any worthwhile capacity by giving quality services and products at a cheap price. Build a team. Create an avenue for entrepreneurship and employment, around a common business goal. To take over any gate, especially the gate of economy, the following points are key: 1. Obedience to God is the first law in taking over territories. 2. Courage to challenge the status quo and courage to challenge oneself to step up and do more, render more impactful value driven services and products. Courage to prove to your investors that you are investable. Courage to prove to your customers that you are worth their money. To take over the gate of economy, one must take calculated risks. Having courage is a risk so also is being obedient. Remember that failure is like a sling shot; you must go back to go farther forward. Many Christians lack the courage to go forward, we are easily stuck with familiar terrains and routine. We must break away from our comfort zones if we must go forward. Don't be afraid when thoughts come persistently. They may be a link to your next best product or service. Think about what you are thinking about. _MEDITATION:_ *"Obedience and courage will birth you territories"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Wednesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Showers_of_Blessings* *#Hello_April* ❤ (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 6TH/APRIL/2022* *Be PURPOSE-DRIVEN* (The End) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Don't worry and ask yourselves, "Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?" Only people who don't know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all of these. But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well."* (Matthew 6:31-33 (CEV)) _Bible Insight:_ Jesus switched from talking about physical food to spiritual food. This is the second time He made such a switch of words. The Samaritan woman wanted physical water, but Jesus redirected her to her real need – living water, eternal life. The disciples talked about food, Jesus redirected them to that which is more important - spiritual food – doing God’s will. The disciples focused on the physical. Jesus wanted them to know the importance of that which is spiritual. We are to be concerned with the will of God. We are to be concerned with the salvation of the lost. Can we see the PASSION of Jesus’ heart? Can you feel the passion of His heart today? Are we talking only about the physical? Are we praying only for physical needs? Are we preoccupied only by the physical – the affairs of this life? We are to be PASSIONATE not just because this is God’s will for us. Jesus explains further, saying to His disciples, in verse 35: “Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” _MEDITATION:_ *"We are to be PASSIONATE because time is running out. It’s the right time to reap now! Let us develop a PASSION for the work of God. Don’t wait. Do it now. You may not get another chance."* *#Christian_Cheong* *#Wednesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_April* ❤ 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 30TH/MARCH/2022* *THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT MARRIAGE* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *"The marriage bed must be a place of mutuality--the husband seeking to satisfy his wife, the wife seeking to satisfy her husband. Marriage is not a place to "stand up for your rights." Marriage is a decision to serve the other, whether in bed or out."* (1 Corinthians 7:3-4 (The Message)) _Bible Insight:_ After the Reality Stage, it either you break into the Retaliation Stage or the Renovation Stage. It is almost impossible to taste both Retaliation Stage & Renovation Stage, because the two stages further lead to different outcomes/stages. 3. Retaliation stage-- this is the stage where the couples reacts based on the harsh discoveries revealed from the Reality Stage. This is where you find couples saying things like, *"I can't cope with my husband's/wive's poor etiquette, poor cooking skills, poor communication abilities, poor..."* When couples put on the *"I can't this and that..."* They begin to retaliate & fight back in a way that badly affect the marriage, leading to the stage of Rejection. Or 4. Renovation Stage -- unlike retaliation stage, couples who make the most of reality stage, give a positive and healthy attitude towards the realities they wake up to. Rather than fight & quarrel, they wear garments of grace, forgiveness, willingness to improve, and willingness to adjust & do all it takes to make each other better, and thereby make the marriage work. This then leads to the Renewal stage 5. Renewal stage: this is the outcome of living by the fruit of the spirit. It makes marriage takes its true shape of making two become one. The couple become a renewed pair. At this stage they have learned to compliment each other, rather than fight or detest the differences of each other. Or 6. Rejection stage. When Reality Stage is mismanaged, it leads to retaliation, which leads to either divorce or separation or an enduring marriage. People divorce each other, because they have rejected their partner. It is the outcome of failure to live by the fruits of the Spirit. _MEDITATION:_ *"With my little experience so far, my number one advice for couples, intending or not, is be flexible and be ready to adjust. If you don't want to bend, you will break or the marriage will break."* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Wednesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Hello_April* ❤ (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 23RD/MARCH/2022* *ARE YOU LED?* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well."* (Matthew 6:33 (CEV)) _Bible Insight:_ Abraham's hope is not built on wealth. When wealth stops wowing you, God knows you are ready to become wealthy. The end time wealth is for those whose hearts are set on God. Caleb had a different Spirit because he was willing to be led. God's intention is to bring his glory upon all flesh. But when our flesh rules over our spirit, we will not get to the place God has in mind for us. Ask yourself *"Am I too much alive?"* You need to die completely and not just daily. We are sons and inheritors. We are the ones that will deliver the kingdoms of this earth and the ends of the earth to God. When our hearts begin to burn for the nations, when the things of this world starts coming we won't make a big deal of it. We must come to a place when things don't tinkle our fancy anymore. _MEDITATION:_ *"Make a U-turn and start running after God, and things will make a U-turn and start running after you."* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Wednesday_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 16TH/MARCH/2022* *Faith Series: Samson- an unlikely man of Faith* (IV) _Key Bible Text:_ *"If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."* (2 Chronicles 7:14 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Mockings . . . Chains and Imprisonment ... Afflicted, Ill-treated (Heb. 11:36, 37) As a result of Delilah's trickery, Samson lost his strength and the Philistines put him in chains. According to Hebrews 11:36-37, the Philistines afflicted him by gouging out his eyes and taking him to a pagan ceremony where they mocked him in front of 3,000 spectators. Samson realized that his sin had caused all these worldly people to mock both him and God. Faithfully, Samson did not give up on God and prayed for deliverance. God granted him strength again. Samson used this God-given strength to carry out God's will and deliver God's people from their enemies. While this cost Samson his life, it allowed him to kill "more than those whom he killed in his life" (Judg. 16:30). Samson died faithfully. There might be some public sin in our lives at times that may cause the God whom we claim to serve and the brethren with whom we have fellowship to be mocked and tortured. In this situation we must repent and faithfully pray to God to give us strength. In repenting, we must turn away from sin and try to correct our lives in the area in which we were wrong. We must use the newly found strength to over-come God's enemies with abstinence from sin. In doing so, we will live faithfully. We live in a world in which we look at most things from a pessimistic point of view. I have always tended to do this with the life of Samson. It is remarkable to consider that de-spite all the evil things he did in his life, he was able to turn back to God and God then considered him faithful. _MEDITATION:_ *"It gives us courage to know that we can turn from our many failures and faithfully do the things God has planned for us to do."* *#Jonathan_Brown* *#Wednesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_March* ❤ Source: Guardian of Truth XLI: 7 p. 20-21 April 3, 1997 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.
