*DAILY DEW 8TH/DECEMBER/2021* *Once Saved, Always Saved?* _Key Bible Text:_ *For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.* (Hebrews 10:26-27 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The logic of once saved always saved is that God is merciful, forgiving, and that he would not send Jesus to die for sins, and afterwards still punish believers for their sins. Another related logic is that God hates divorce. Since Christ is the groom of the church, His bride, God will not therefore divorce her, no matter what she does. Sound? Right? Well, let's see. Truth is, the above logic, and others that is being used to support the idea of once saved, always saved, is so sweet and believable that many easily fall for it. Why are these logic so effective in deceiving many? It is because it is a mixture of truth and not so true ideas of scripture. What's the truth? God indeed forgives and is merciful. He also is a divorce hating God. However, what is not so true? God also said ahead of time, that he is a consuming fire, and that he hates sin and that the wages of sin is death. The same Bible that teaches the half truth of these logic, also debunks the other not so true half. When it comes to this issue, you must desist from rationalization. Instead, you must stick to what is written. As you can see from Hebrews 10:26-27, it clearly shows that when believers return to their sins, after having received Christ, they are liable to face the same consequences facing those who do not receive Christ-- perishing eternally. _MEDITATION:_ *"If the penalty for breaking the law of Moses is physical death, what do you think will happen if you turn on God's Son, spit on the sacrifice that made you whole, and insult this most gracious Spirit? This is no light matter. God has warned us that he'll hold us to account and make us pay. He was quite explicit: "Vengeance is mine, and I won't overlook a thing," and, "God will judge his people." Nobody's getting by with anything, believe me."* (Hebrews 10:28-31 (The Message)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Wednesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Supernatural_Supplies_Month* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Hello_December* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *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/once-saved-always-saved.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 1ST/DECEMBER/2021* *The Fear That Is Forbidden* _Key Bible Text:_ *For God did not give us a spirit of timidity (of cowardice, of craven and cringing and fawning fear), but [He has given us a spirit] of power and of love and of calm and well-balanced mind and discipline and self-control.* (2 Timothy 1:7 (AMP)) _Bible Insight:_ There is a fear that encourages timidity, cowardice, lack of selfconfidence (Christ based confidence), tendency to quit, low self esteem etc. This fear, we are reminded, has no place in our recreated human spirit. This fear has nothing to do with the fear of God, which teaches us to walk away from ungodliness and walk confidently in righteousness. Paul charged his son Timothy, do not cower in fear. This fear breaks marriages. This fear hinders business owners from taking calculated risks. This fear demotivates. This fear triggers self defeat. This fear makes anyone who is its victim a loser or a quitter. God does not want any of His children to live with such fears. This new month make up your mind, to walk devoid of a fear that fails to recognize the victorious person you are in Christ. This fear has torment and it is not the kind that God desires for His children. Say "no" to it and go ahead and press into all of God's promises to you even as you recognize that Christ in you is the hope of glory. _MEDITATION:_ *For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.* (Romans 8:15 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Wednesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Supernatural_Supplies_Month* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Hello_December* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *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/the-fear-that-is-forbidden.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 24TH/NOVEMBER/2021* *ON FINDING PURPOSE* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.* (Matthew 4:18-20 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One danger with trying to find out your purpose or what exactly you should be doing is that, should you find out, you will try to make it happen yourself and in your own time. This does not mean you should not pray for leading or direction, but while you pray, unless and until God tells you otherwise, keep doing what you are doing. And do it well! All through scriptures, there is not one single person who spent his time seeking to find out what his life's purpose or calling should be. Usually, God was the person who came looking for them and telling them what they should do. We like to call it divine interruption. Sometimes, God would announce their lives' mission before they were even born. This doesn't in any way suggest that God must come to you in a spectacular way for it to be that you are in the center of God's will for you. As long as you are a child of God and are daily loving and walking with God, that's fine; that's all that matters. Whether God decides to send you to save the whole of Asia or He allows you to sing in the choir of your small church, that is okay. There were many soldiers who fought the many wars that Israel had to fight on their way to Canaan; though we do not know their names, and God did not come to them like He came to Moses and Joshua, would we say they did not live lives of purpose? Many of us do not know who Lapidot is. But Lapidot was the husband of Deborah, the great prophetess and judge of Israel. Though his name was mentioned once in the bible, yet I celebrate him as a man who understood his place and chose to live the life of obscurity that God elected for him. _MEDITATION:_ *The scripture says that there is time for everything and truly there is and it is God who knows the times of your life. And He is the One who makes ALL things beautiful in His time.* *#Nkwocha_Tochukwu* *#Wednesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Supernatural_Supplies_Month* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_November* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *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/2021/11/on-finding-purpose-iii.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 17TH/NOVEMBER/2021* *THE POWER OF THE RENEWED MIND* (IV) _Key Bible Text:_ *And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord* (Ephesians 5:18-19 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ By doing all of the following, we keep our minds renewed and by so doing, we keep our life transformed: 1. Speak to yourself in Psalms, Hymns and spiritual songs. (Ephesians 5:19.) The atmosphere you create around you, become your reality. When you sing songs that take lyrics from Psalms, and Hymns that tell you about Elohim, and spiritual songs that get you going strong in God, you will automatically place your mind on some sort of auto renewal. Conversely, when you sing songs that bring the world and its temptations alive, and you dance to beats and music videos where twerking, smoking and clubbing is the order of the day, you have created an atmosphere that's a strategic minus as long as engaging mind renewal is concerned. 2. Develop an intimate fellowship with God. The intimacy of fellowship is what defines a strong relationship. You can have a relationship that is going no where but once you exercise yourself to a deep and consistent fellowship I.e. Koinonia, you know that relationship is going to another level. Don't just be in a relationship with God, rather deepen your fellowship/communion with God. Then, you will have a relationship that really help you achieve mind renewal. 3. Nurture the habit of constantly and always speaking in tongues. (Romans 8:26) The baptism in tongues is not a badge to show you are baptized but a tool to service your fellowship with God. Your relationship with God is an empty container but your fellowship with God is the content. When you fill your fellowship with God with great acts like speaking in tongues (among others as already mentioned) you create a strong mind renewal atmosphere. _MEDITATION:_ *IN YOUR mind renewal journey, you can not grow beyond the atmosphere and activities you constantly engage in* (Culled from Sunday Message By Pastor Evangelist K. C.

*DAILY DEW 10TH/NOVEMBER/2021* *PURE WATER* (THE END) _Key Bible Text:_ *In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.* (John 7:37-38 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The essence of this teaching is to remind and explain to an extent the importance of the "pure water" that can positively impact our conscience and cleanse our bodies. Please understand that the washing of our bodies refers to the outward transformation of the acts of our bodies. Thus it is vital to explore other significant usage of the word _water_ Water as already explained refers to the word of God that cleanses us by first ridding us of evil conscience and then helping us conduct ourselves in line with our renewed minds. However, there is more. This then brings us to the very important *rivers of living water* By this reference, Jesus introduced a new symbolic meaning to the word, "water", that is, the Holy Spirit. (John 7:39). Notice that in John 7:39 where this direct connection was made between water and the Holy Spirit, there was need to make a clear reference that Jesus meant "rivers of living water" as a specific reference to the Holy Spirit. Here there is a slight difference that can be inferred with the phrase "washing of water" and "rivers of living water". The former may be from a fixed source whereas the latter is from a moving source. The Holy Spirit indeed, is ever moving, transforming and discipling men. Indeed, there is a relationship with water and the Holy Spirit. Looking at John 1:33 (KJV), which says *"And I knew him not: but he that sent me to baptize with water, the same said unto me, Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit descending, and remaining on him, the same is he which baptizeth with the Holy Ghost."* We can see that water baptism required total submergence of the individual. Likewise, the operation of the "rivers of living water", that is, the Holy Spirit, requires total yielded-ness and submergence or to be more accurate, submission. When we approach our High Priest, we must come as we have been invited to do, but we must come with readiness to allow both the pure water of the water and living water of the Spirit to run their course through our lives. Otherwise, even if we come, we would not know any change or difference in us. This is why many who "come" to Christ, and even attend church, are still without any meaningful transformation! _MEDITATION:_ *Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.* (Hebrews 3:12-13 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Wednesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Supernatural_Supplies_Month* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Hello_November* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *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/2021/11/pure-water-end.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
