*DAILY DEW 31/AUGUST/2023* *The Difference Maker* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.* (Isaiah 60:1-2 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Making a difference is the make up of great people. Everyone who must become notable in life must be in the business of difference making. Not making a difference is the real definition of a failure. Don't ever be okay with not being felt in any place you find yourself. Making a positive difference.... There are positive and negative differences one can make, but there are more positive differences calling to be made than there are negative... You must learn to desire to make a positive difference. In seeking to make a positive difference, always remember that bad news travel faster. This explain why a lot of messy and unhealthy things are popular, or should I say, notorious on social media. So between the positive difference and the negative difference, don't be surprised if negative difference travels faster, and makes more noise than the positive. Remember, your goal is not just to make the news but the positive (good) news. Don't be carried away by things that make more waves if they are not positive, God glorifying and edifying. In thd final analysis, however, the negatives don't make any difference. Rather, they add to the rot in the system. Today you hear someone who was some kind of celebrity or popular on social media has suddenly gone viral because they leaked a nude themselves Or you hear someone has committed murder (homicide), killing a sister or brother or wife or husband or children, etc... And these make the news but they actually only add to the rot in the system. The real deal is making a positive difference! And that's what you want to be doing! _MEDITATION:_ *You must decide to make a positive difference by doing something positively different in a good way.* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_SEPTEMBER,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 30/AUGUST/2023* *Resisting The Unholy Romance* (IX) _Key Bible Text:_ *"You're cheating on God. If all you want is your own way, flirting with the world every chance you get, you end up enemies of God and his way. And do you suppose God doesn't care? The proverb has it that "he's a fiercely jealous lover"* (James 4:4-5 (The Message) _Bible Insight:_ These words of God are not before us for our consideration; they are there for our obedience and we have no right to claim the title of Christian unless we follow them. For myself, I fear any kind of religious stir among Christians that does not lead to repentance and result in a sharp separation of the believer from the world. I am suspicious of any organized revival effort that is forced to play down the hard terms of the kingdom. No matter how attractive the movement may appear, if it is not founded in righteousness and nurtured in humility it is not of God. If it exploits the flesh it is a religious fraud and should not have the support of any God-fearing Christian. Only that is of God which honors the Spirit and prospers at the expense of the human ego. “That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord” (1 Corinthians 1:31) The End. _MEDITATION:_ *Think of God as a Jealous God that He is. Think of anything worldly as unfaithfulness and cheating on God. How Jealous do you suppose God is for every time we align and behave like the unsaved world?* -- David Joshua Egbochuo *#A_W_Tozer* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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 29/AUGUST/2023* *Resisting The Unholy Romance* (VIII) _Key Bible Text:_ *"The sinful nature wants to do evil, which is just the opposite of what the Spirit wants. And the Spirit gives us desires that are the opposite of what the sinful nature desires. These two forces are constantly fighting each other, so you are not free to carry out your good intentions."* (Galatians 5:17 (NLT) _Bible Insight:_ It is true also that the grosser manifestations of fallen human nature are part of the kingdom of this world. Organized amusements with their emphasis upon shallow pleasure, the great empires built upon vicious and unnatural habits, unrestrained abuse of normal appetites, the artificial world called “high society”— these are all of the world. They are all part of that which is flesh, which builds upon flesh and must perish with the flesh. And from these things the Christian must flee. All these he must put behind him and in them he must have no part. Against them he must stand quietly but firmly without compromise and without fear. So whether the world presents itself in its uglier aspects or in its subtler and more refined forms, we must recognize it for what it is and repudiate it bluntly. We must do this if we would walk with God in our generation as Enoch did in his. A clean break with the world is imperative. _MEDITATION:_ *"So I say, let the Holy Spirit guide your lives. Then you won't be doing what your sinful nature craves."* (Galatians 5:16) *#A_W_Tozer* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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 28/AUGUST/2023* *Resisting The Unholy Romance* (VII) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Do not try to work together as equals with unbelievers, for it cannot be done. How can right and wrong be partners? How can light and darkness live together?"* (2 Corinthians 6:14 (GNB) _Bible Insight:_ If this is a fairly accurate view of things, what can we say then when Christian men vie with one another for place and position? What can we answer when we see them hungrily seeking for praise and honor? How can we excuse the passion for publicity which is so glaringly evident among Christian leaders? What about political ambition in Church circles? What about the fevered palm that is stretched out for more and bigger “love offerings”? What about the shameless egotism among Christians? How can we explain the gross man-worship that habitually blows up one and another popular leader to the size of colossus? What about the obsequious hand-kissing of moneyed men by those purporting to be sound preachers of the gospel? There is only one answer to these questions; it is simply that in these manifestations we see the world and nothing but the world. _MEDITATION:_ *"No passionate profession of love for “souls” can change evil into good. These are the very sins that crucified Jesus."* *#A_W_Tozer* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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 27/AUGUST/2023* *Resisting The Unholy Romance* (VI) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."* (Matthew 5:3-4 (KJV) _Bible Insight:_ The ancient Pharisees, in spite of their zealous devotion to religion, were of the very essence of the world. The spiritual principles upon which they built their system were drawn not from above but from below. They employed against Jesus the tactics of men. They bribed men to tell lies in defense of truth. To defend God they acted like devils. To support the Bible they defied the teachings of the Bible. They scuttled religion to save religion. They gave rein to blind hate in the name of the religion of love. There we see the world in all of its grim defiance of God. So fierce was this spirit that it never rested till it had put to death the Son of God Himself. The spirit of the Pharisees was actively and maliciously hostile to the Spirit of Jesus as each was a kind of distillation of the two worlds from whence they came. Those present-day teachers who place the Sermon on the Mount in some other dispensation than this and so release the Church from its teachings little realize the evil they do. For the Sermon on the Mount gives in brief the characteristics of the kingdom of renewed men. The blessed poor who mourn for their sins and thirst after righteousness are true sons of the kingdom. In meekness they show mercy to their enemies; with guileless candor they gaze upon God; surrounded by persecutors they bless and curse not. In modesty they hide their good deeds. They go out of their way to agree with their adversaries and forgive those who sin against them. They serve God in secret in the depth of their hearts and wait with patience for His open reward. They freely surrender their earthly goods rather than use violence to protect them. They lay up treasures in heaven. They avoid praise and wait for the day of final reckoning to learn who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. _MEDITATION:_ *"Do you believe the sermon on the mount? Or does its being above what's obtainable make you think it is outdated?."* *#A_W_Tozer* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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.
