*DAILY DEW 14/JULY/2023* *Available AND USEABLE* _Key Bible Text:_ *“And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord."* (Acts 9:10 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ ANANIAS, the disciple at Damascus did not SUDDENLY hear God's voice. It is true that he was never seen before or after this Acts 9:10-19 account of him. In nine verses or less, we read about this damascus disciple. Researchers may have even more to say about him, but it is important to note that the short verses still gives some vital information about him that every believer must care to understand, emulate & apply. 1. He saw a vision. Acts 9:10 (KJV) And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a VISION, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. This is one key the Lord uses to instruct his disciples. The mountain of transfiguration was a vision. (Mathew 17:9) Remember? Zachariah the father of John the Baptist saw a vision about his childbearing in His old age. (Luke 1:22) Cornelius and Peter saw a vision. This brought a major inroad of the Gospel being preached to Gentiles. It is a landmark precedent. (Acts 10:3 & 17) With these few points it is safe to conclude that vision was not for "ordinary" people who have not known or had dealings with God. Note the nature of these visions. They were very clearly divine and directive or instructive. They were neither vague nor were they received by ungoldly people. They commanded positive actions, that requires faith and trust in God. It takes men who have nurtured their walk with God to enjoy visions of this sort or some other level of clear communication with God. How is your walk with God? How is your hearing? Can God use you when he has a need to take care of? Are you sendable, useable and available? _MEDITATION:_ *"God is still in the business of using people.

*DAILY DEW 13/JULY/2023* *Keys 🔐 to Operate in the Anointing* _Key Bible Text:_ *“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."* (Mark 16:17-18 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ 1. Have a Solid Foundation The most important thing for a believer to have before they operate in the power of God is a firm foundation in their walk with Christ. One of the most dangerous things someone can do is jump into ministry and try to operate in the anointing without having a solid foundation. 2. Receive an Impartation If you want to receive an impartation from God, you must first serve the purpose of God. Learn to serve with the capacity that God has given you. If you skip this step, you risk receiving an impartation, but nothing happening afterward. 3. Beware of Fear and Timidity These feelings are big blockages for the flow of the anointing. As a person who desires to be used by God, one of the hindrances that satan will try to use is fear. Know that sometimes you will minister out of faith, and other times you’ll minister out of obedience to God’s command. 4. Association Matters Your environment is HUGE regarding developing what’s been deposited within you. Get close to anointed men and women of God who can push you to grow. Often, when they point out weaknesses or character flaws within us, God uses that to catapult our development. 5. Yield to God The anointing is for deployment. When God finds a man or woman who is yielded to Him, He allows His power to flow through them. _MEDITATION:_ *"Allow God to use you to demonstrate His power in your city. Remember, when a house has electricity, connect anything, and it’ll work."* *#Vlad_Savchuck* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JULY,2023* ❤ *#Guest_Message* 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/JULY/2023* *COMPASSION Compression* _Key Bible Text:_ *“Jesus wept"* (John 11:35 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ If the man with a solution had compassion why should people with no solution have no compassion too? 😥 JESUS had the solution. Jesus always has a solution. But he had lots of compassion too. He wept for Lazarus even when he came purposely to bring solution-- These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. (John 11:11 (KJV)) We live in a troubled world. We have so many many challenges and problems with little or no solutions. Solutions have never equalled the demand of problems. Problems have exceeded the supply of solutions. Solutions is so much in short supply compared to its demand. Sadly every solution comes with a "follow come" challenge or problem. If you want admission, you must pass well. If you gain the admission, you must pay tuition fees, feeding fees, books and other resources- problem! Even the student loan newly passed into law in Nigeria may be more of a problem than a solution for the problem it was brought to deal with. Problem! You turn left- problem. You turn right -problem. You do good. Problem. You fail to do good. Problem. Guess what? The biggest problem in all is that we have problem with showing compassion. In fact, the compassion tank of most people are either completely empty or at its lowest level. We need to fill up our compassion tanks. If the man with a solution had compassion why should people with no solution have no compassion too? 😥 When we retrain our minds against all odds to show compassion especially when that is all we can do, we will begin to force open the possibilities of a miracle. As a matter of fact, compassionate people are solution driven people. Every real good work has been done as a compassionate response. The more compassion God sees in you over the challenges and problems you see around you, the more you give God additional reasons to bless you and make a miraculous solution for you to meet those needs. Stop the compassion compression. Everyone maybe low key angry, dealing with their challenges, but choose to, and practice showing compassion even when others confront you with their own challenges and problems. _MEDITATION:_ *"Compassion is a catalyst for miracles."* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JULY,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 11/JULY/2023* *"The Mary Method"* _Key Bible Text:_ *“And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her."* (Luke 10:41-42 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Life is busy running so fast like a mad man chasing nothing. Today runs fast like in a relay race, trying to give the batton of time over to tomorrow, who soon follows the example of yesterday who gave the batton to today! Everyone is in a frenzy trying to catch up. And when we finally catch our breath, we are sorry or worry over the death of someone, whose exit from the race forces us to a hurried pause: wondering if there was a meaning to it all. But then, soon afterwards, we go again at it. Running hard to catch up. It is this thing called the rat race. The system is filled with every reason to keep the chase. We are running a race that actually needs grace but we are often too busy, to come bodly before the throne of grace. Is it not *"that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need"?* But the one need we need to heed we skip. We needed to have paused in ponder of His grace, which come not but by knowing knowledge. Peter said it: *"Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,"* 2 Peter 1:2 (KJV) Peter said it. Jesus said it first. Mary understood it. Martha understood it at last. Will you not also understand it? *But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her.* That's the Mary Method! The Mary Method is to take calculated and highly necessary breaks from time to time to just be with the fountain of grace. By spending time at his throne of grace daily, we become infused with grace for this race through more knowledge of Him, who is the God of all grace. _MEDITATION:_ *"When last did you go on a retreat (whether personal or in a group) to be with the Lord like Mary? Retreat away from the many things we naturally busy with and worry about. Only one thing is needful. Use the Mary Method not the Martha method that is so common"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JULY,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 10/JULY/2023* *Practicing Humility* _Key Bible Text:_ *“Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you."* (John 13:13‭-‬15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ It is in the nature of humans to desires greatness. Men measures greatness by wealth, fame, achievements, power, etc. However with every measure of greatness and achievement, comes the default setting of humans to boast with pride. That feeling of satisfaction that comes with promotion or achievement also has a "follow come" feeling of pride! This tendency for example creates talks and phrases like "self made", "proud achiever", "proud of you", "proudly Nigerian" or proudly whatever. The more dangerous version of this trend, is that with growth of influence and affluence comes the rising tendency in humans to (love to) be worshiped and served. Some nurse these tendencies and desires secretly in false show of humility. While many throw all caution away and express their desire to be worshiped or praised and served. Some even go as far as inflicting pain or punishment on those who fail to worship or serve or praise them. Remember, Mordecai and Haman? (Esther 7-10) Even more pathetic is that humans, including those with nothing of striking influence or affluence also parade themselves with pride. It is natural. It is the human nature. Pride is human! Humility is divine. God desires a different template than what men desire and are prone to. For every true follower of Jesus, our path and style must be one of humility. Say no to pride! Pride kills. It is God's laid down standard, that the more we rise in life, the more we must strive to stay humble. In fact, with more achievements, we must deliberately do things that will punch and pinch our ego and force us to not only remember Christ's example, but to replicate and represent Him. With more success, with more answered prayers, with more promotions, with more money and influence, intentionally do things that will keep you humble. Create a system or habits that will push you towards humility and not allow you to sway towards pride. Humility is like moving against the current. So you must intentionally work at it or you will be carried away by the current. _MEDITATION:_ *"The greatest secret to staying humble is practicing service. Serve. Especially, serve those who should be serving you. It is not common sense because it does not make sense. But it is bible sense. The Jesus way! Let's follow. Will you?"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JULY,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.
