*DAILY DEW 11TH/JANUARY/2022* *THE LUSTS OF OTHER THINGS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and THE LUSTS of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful."* (Mark 4:19 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Three things hinder the influence of the word of God in the life of a man: the cares of this world; the deceitfulness of riches; and the lusts of other things. Each of these can choke the word to the point of rendering it useless and fruitless. It is YOUR responsibility to counter the impact of these three hindrances. Today's focus is the lusts of other things. In previous devotional reflections both the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches has been delt with. (see 29th December 2021 & 4th January, 2022) When we desire other things above the focus of the Word of God, we cause the word to be choked. For instance, when we lust after fame or desire a relationship with a male or female to the point we lose control, we choke the word of God in us. The word of God which counsels purity or self control becomes a mere distraction because lust have taken control of your mind. When you desire a job so badly, that you do not mind to reduce or alter your actual age so as to qualify for the job opening, the lust towards that job, have rendered the Word of God that preaches contentment, integrity and honesty to naught in your life. Watch what you desire badly. Anything you so much desire that makes you lower the standard of the word is choking the word of God in your life. _MEDITATION:_ *Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.* (1 John 2:15-16 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Happy_New_Year_2022* *#Hello_January* ❤ Links To Visit: *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/trusting-against-all-odds.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 21ST/DECEMBER/2021* *FINANCING MISSIONS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.* (Galatians 6:2, 10 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ How do we get it? Perhaps if I were to tell you how we do NOT get it, it would help. We do not raise it by means of suppers, bazaars, concerts, rummage sales, or oyster stews. Not because I am against these methods, but because they will not work. What does a business man do when he runs across a method that will not work? He scraps it, does he not? Now listen. I am responsible, humanly speaking, for the personal support of three hundred and fifty missionaries. Every month of my life I have to get more than $25,000, or humanly speaking, they will starve. How many of you business men carry as heavy a responsibility? What would you do if you had to get $25,000 every month, and if three hundred and fifty workers were dependant upon it? May I pause long enough to say that never once has God failed. Whether I am at home or on some foreign field, or holding evangelistic campaigns in Great Britain or Austria, the money comes in and allowances go out. _MEDITATION:_ *"Now tell me if you ever knew a rummage sale to produce $25,000. If not, then what good is it? Do you blame me for scrapping a method that will not produce what I need? I have never known it to happen. Well then, what do I do? I turn to another method, of course, a method that will bring in the amount needed"* -- Oswald J. Smith (Culled from The Challenge of Missions by Oswald J.

*DAILY DEW 14TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO MISSIONS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *There is that scattereth, and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it tendeth to poverty.* (Proverbs 11:24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ God, from His vantage point, can look down upon an entire world and see every village, city, country, continent, and island at the same time. If we could only get far enough away, we could see the world as Jesus saw it. But some of us have never travelled and we have never listened to those who have travelled. We do not study geography. We know but little of what lies beyond. And worst still, when we do eventually we are all focused on greener pastures and not on missions and need for souls to be won. SUPREME No w let us look at another word in our motto, the word “supreme.” *“The SUPREME task of the Church is the evangelization of the world.”* If world evangelization is our most important work, then when a missionary convention is held we should lay everything else aside and be present at every session, otherwise we are putting something else first, and we do not believe that it is more important than anything else. We show by our actions that we put missions second, or even last. If world evangelization comes first, then we should concentrate on giving to missions and let others who do not have the vision, contribute to other things. There will always be plenty for the home work for there are always those who put the home work first. The many worthwhile objects here at home will be cared for, since only the minority will be interested in the supreme task of the church. _MEDITATION:_ *If we put missions first, then we will give more to missions than to anything else. Otherwise something else takes first place.* (Culled from The Challenge of Missions by Oswald J.
