*DAILY DEW 21/AUGUST/2023* *How to Hear God’s Voice* _Key Bible Text:_ *"My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me."* (John 10:27 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ 1. Get into God’s word to hear His voice. If you want to hear God’s voice, study His word. 2. The Spirit Speaks. Spiritual preparation and active participation are required to hear the Spirit. The Holy Spirit speaks through impressions, promptings, and suggestions, bringing things to remembrance. 3. God’s voice is hidden in God’s wisdom. God’s ways are in line with God’s wisdom. 4. Pay attention to peace. 5. Lower the noise. When we lower the noise we can hear His voice. 6. Unmute God. You can’t hear God’s voice today if you didn’t heed His voice yesterday! Repent for disobedience and start obeying the last thing God told to do. 7. Write down vivid dreams. 8. Don’t neglect prophecies. The prophet of God does not replace my need to hear from God. Neither does our hearing from God replace our need for the prophet of God. _MEDITATION:_ *"And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers."* John 10:4-5 (KJV) *#Vlad_Savchuk* *#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 20/AUGUST/2023* *Jesus did not save you online* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves his children, too."* (1 John 5:1) _Bible Insight:_ Woke up late - online service Had a long week - online service They plan to protest - online service Elections being conducted - online service Someone blocked your car - online service You have too many things to do - online service You need to arrange some things - online service Saturday was lit - online service Wind starts blowing - online service Rain fell - online service You dreamt that rain fell - online service I don't mean watching service online is a sin. It is not. Especially when you have no choice; but when you do? Ahn ahn! Jesus did not save you online. He came all the way down here. And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us. He became like you, and died for you. Fall in love nau. Fall in love with the imperfect Body of the One who died to give you Life, and a Hope, and an Inheritance. C'mon! Where is your love; your passion; your belonging; your longing; your commitment; your devotion - to the Body of Christ? Can you be a true believer without it? 1 Thessalonians 2:17-18 As for us, brothers and sisters, when, for a short time, we were made orphans by being separated from you--in person, not in heart--we longed with great eagerness to see you face to face. For we wanted to come to you--certainly I, Paul, wanted to again and again--but Satan blocked our way. NO. It is not possible. Before, Satan might have been blocking your way, but now, you yourself have become the block. Even the ice block Any small thing; church fellowship is the first thing you cancel. Stop it. Repent. Return to your first love. What will you say to the Lord when that Indonesian church says "Despite the flood in 2014...." or that church in Delta says "Despite the flood in 2017, we did not forsake the gathering of Your people" What will you say when members of Ekklesia Yan'uwa a church in Maiduguri which was demolished in 2021 with several injured and one killed and that Sunday they still held full service - what will you say when they say "Lord, we did not forsake the gathering of the brethren?" Please, wake up. _MEDITATION:_ *"Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching."* Hebrews 10:25 (KJV) *#Ebele_UzoPeters* *#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 19/AUGUST/2023* *Not Salty; Not Sacrifice* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And every oblation of thy meat offering shalt thou season with salt; neither shalt thou suffer the salt of the covenant of thy God to be lacking from thy meat offering: with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt."* (Leviticus 2:13 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ I agree with Pastor Vlad on this: *"Salt is a good metaphor for Christian conversation and behavior."* 🧂*"Salt improves taste; in the same way, what believers say and do should leave a “good taste” for others."* 🧂 *"Salt also preserves food; Christians should influence others for eternity with their grace-filled lives. Saints, be salty!"* But let's connect it with scriptures. God told his people, Israel and by extension, his people today, including you and I -- *"with all thine offerings thou shalt offer salt"* No offering will be accepted by God if it has no salt. Romans 12:1 (KJV) connects the dots further: *"I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye PRESENT your bodies a LIVING SACRIFICE, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service."* We do this presentation of ourselves as living sacrifices as we live a salty lifestyle-- Romans 12:2 (KJV) puts it clearly *"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."* The salty lifestyle calls for non-conformist standards and values. We can't be salty if we conform & subscribe to the wordly principles, standards and views around us. Rather, we must put a stop to decadence and degeneration as salt does. We must improve the taste of things around us for good and for God's glory, even as we bring eternal values to bear! As we let our *"light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."* (Matthew 5:16 (KJV)) _MEDITATION:_ *"Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men!"* Matthew 5:13 (KJV) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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/AUGUST/2023* *HOW TO LAST* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, THAT I MAY PROVE THEM, WHETHER THEY WILL WALK IN MY LAW, OR NO."* (Exodus 16:4 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ After they murmured, again we will notice that God seemed to overlook their response style one more time instead we read as follows:- *"Then said the LORD unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, THAT I MAY PROVE THEM, WHETHER THEY WILL WALK IN MY LAW, OR NO."* Exodus 16:4 God is more interested in seeing how committed you are in walking with Him in his word and will! Even when God blesses us inspite of us, his blessings are not a confirmation that we are doing well, but rather a test whether we will recognize his goodness and reciprocate his faithfulness. Sometimes, God will rather examine or test your faith and commitment with blessings rather than allowing satan to afflict you like Job. It is how you use your blessings that shows whether you will last in the faith or fall out. If both your blessings & your problems bring you closer to God, you are preparing yourself to last in this race. Practice consistently believing God and walking in obedience to God. Don't be like the Israelites who saw the wonders of God, and were fearful and grateful but who could not sustain that experience in their walk with God. How you continue with God, is more important than how you begin with God. Be conscious of lasting in your transformative experiences with God. _MEDITATION:_ *"You can loose the transformation experience if you don't stay conscious of continuing in your disciplines of walking with God!"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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 17/AUGUST/2023* *HOW TO LAST* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee."* (Exodus 15:26 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ After they murmured, we will notice that God seemed to overlook their response style instead we read as follows:- *"And he cried unto the LORD; and the LORD shewed him a tree, which when he had cast into the waters, the waters were made sweet: there he made for them a statute and an ordinance, and there he proved them."* Exodus 15:25 KJV And then the Lord added...*"If thou wilt DILIGENTLY hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes...."* the promise that follows is not the problem. The problem is our ability to carry out the terms of engagement! Shortly after this scenario, another problem came up and once again, they responded with even a worse attitude:- *"And the whole congregation of the children of Israel murmured against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness: and the children of Israel said unto them, Would to God we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the flesh pots, and when we did eat bread to the full; for ye have brought us forth into this wilderness, to kill this whole assembly with hunger."* (Exodus 16:2‭-‬3 (KJV)) Dont be so surprised with their response. Rather, look inwards, when and how have you behaved in like manner? Of course, not with the same words but have your faith not dropped and your commitments to the Lord wanned when your prayers kept looking unanswered? Have you not been tempted to "help" God since God was being too slow? Have you not accused God of abandoning you and being unfair? Have you not asked God why he has not delivered as expected both or either directly or indirectly? _MEDITATION:_ *"Your Faith in God is not proven by how you praise God when your prayers are answered but by how you praise God even when you have no testimony yet!"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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.
