*DAILY DEW 22/OCTOBER/2023* *The Witnesses' Assignment* (4) _Key Bible Text:_ *"So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? He saith unto him, Yea, Lord; thou knowest that I love thee. He saith unto him, Feed my lambs."* (John 21:15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ A witness is in the business of loving God above all else. God uses those who proves to be in love with him. You cannot meaningfully build up yourself, talk less of others, if you have no growing love for God. The love for God must come first before the love for souls. It is the love for God that propels the passion for soul winning. Any love for God that does not result in increasing love for the people of God is actually questionable. There can be no better proof that we are growing in love for God if it is not bringing about more love for the souls that Jesus died for. Aim to grow in love for God. Don't be satisfied with where you are. Truth is if we are not growing in love, tendency is that we have left our first love. To be an effective witness, we go beyond falling in love with Jesus. We nurture that love and we grow that love daily. _MEDITATION:_ *Our witnessing among people can only be as God desires, as we remain strong growing in love for God.* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_OCTOBER,2023* ❤ 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 21/OCTOBER/2023* *The Witnesses' Assignment* (3) _Key Bible Text:_ *"For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you always in my prayers."* Romans 1:9 (KJV) _Bible Insight:_ A witness is in the business of praying for souls. God uses the prayers of His people to build up His Kingdom. Jesus said to Peter, in Luke 22:31-32, *"Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren."* The success of the witnesses' assignment lies heavily on prayers. We can't just preach men into God's kingdom without prayers. We can't just sing men into the Kingdom without prayers. We can't just cajole men into the kingdom without prayers. We can't just use examples and godly living to win men into the kingdom without prayers. Prayer is always an essential necessity in every activity that will bring about spiritual growth, kingdom growth, kingdom expansion and soul winning. Though *"The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few"* we can't just rush into the work without prayers. Jesus said, *"Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest."* (Matthew 9: 37, 38 (KJV)) _MEDITATION:_ *Every great harvest of souls into God's kingdom is always a product of great prayers and intercession!!* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_OCTOBER,2023* ❤ 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 20/OCTOBER/2023* *The Witnesses' Assignment* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *"For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels."* Luke 9:26 (KJV) _Bible Insight:_ A witness is in the business of boldness even before soul winning. God uses the bold to build up His Kingdom. The word of God is to be boldly declared. Those who represent Christ must be bold and unashamed. We are not timid or insecure. We are loud but respectful. We are firm, convincing and inspiring. We don't cower or shy away from declaring or defending the Gospel of Christ. The witness assignment requires the ability to speak up wherever and whenever necessary. At home, at the office or shop or workplace or in school or any where at all. Boldness is an essential requirement for an effective witness. Be bold as lion. Be brave and expressive. The Holy Ghost is the Spirit of boldness, power, love and sound mind! And He has been given to us as our backing. So what's your excuse!? We move! _MEDITATION:_ *For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.* (2 Timothy 1:7 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_OCTOBER,2023* ❤ 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 19/OCTOBER/2023* *The Witnesses' Assignment* _Key Bible Text:_ *"But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth."* (Acts 1:8 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ You may never become an Apostle, a Prophet, a Pastor, an Evangelist or even a Teacher. No! You may never be any of these! But once you are born again, you are born a witness of Christ! Being a witness is not a function of your temperament, whether introverted or extroverted. Really, it does not matter if you like to keep to yourself a lot, can lock yourself in your house for five straight days, or even throw away your phone inside locker for that long or more. It does not also matter if you talk so much, can hardly shut your mouth or else people will think you are sick and all. Yes, even if you are outgoing, love making friends and always happy to travel. Whether you are taciturn or loquacious, you are meant or designed to be a witness of Christ once you are a child of God, born of the water and the word, born of the Spirit of God, born of the word of God, and not of the will of man-- including your own will. What does it mean to witness Christ!? You are to reveal Jesus. You are to showcase Jesus to your world. You are to confirm that he lived, died, lives again and never to die again. You are to be the evidence that Jesus is real because your life gives credence to it and your testimony keep pointing to it. You are Christ's witness, not His weakness. You are Christ's example not His "shambles". You're Christ evidence that "Jesus was here" and "He is here now" Hallelujah! _MEDITATION:_ *This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses.* (Acts 2:32 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_OCTOBER,2023* ❤ 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 18/OCTOBER/2023* *The Underdogs' Advantage* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"God purposely chose what the world considers nonsense in order to shame the wise, and he chose what the world considers weak in order to shame the powerful. He chose what the world looks down on and despises and thinks is nothing, in order to destroy what the world thinks is important. This means that no one can boast in God's presence."* (1 Corinthians 1:27-29 (The Goodnews Bible)) _Bible Insight:_ Don't blow your own trumpet rather give praise to God who lifts the underdogs. God chooses to favour those who life may have been unfair to and their chances to win in the competition of life seems daunting or impossible. God chooses to smile upon such because He rather bless those who will recognize Him as their advantage than those who will ascribe their success to themselves-- how good they are or how well connected they are. Look at Jephthah. He was abandoned and treated like an outcast, his half siblings rejected him because he was born by an harlot. Eventually, he became sought after and made king over his people. And the underdog became victorious. God made the difference for him. (See Judges 11) Has life been unfair? Do you feel marginalized? Do you feel abandoned? Do you think you don't stand a chance? Does it look like all your mates have gone ahead of you and left you wallowing behind in pity? Listen, my friend! Don't you despair. Don't you throw in the towel. Don't you give up. Don't you get in any pity parties. Don't you call yourself what God has not called you. Don't you ever do that! Instead, call on God. He is your advantage. He is your helper. He has a soft spot for people like us. To do us good so we get him the credit and give him the glory. If a David can kill a Goliath in near unfathomable circumstances, God can rewrite your story for His glory, no matter the odds. _MEDITATION:_ *For [simply] consider your own call, brethren; not many [of you were considered to be] wise according to human estimates and standards, not many influential and powerful, not many of high and noble birth. [No] for God selected (deliberately chose) what in the world is foolish to put the wise to shame, and what the world calls weak to put the strong to shame.* (1 Corinthians 1:26-27 (Amplified Bible)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_OCTOBER,2023* ❤ 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.
