*DAILY DEW 7/AUGUST/2023* *NOT TO BE LOVED* _Key Bible Text:_ *"'Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God."* James 4:4 (KJV) _Bible Insight:_ The believer is called into a delicate place-- you are to live daily in a world you are to refuse to fall in love with. We are to be like good citizens but never really placing our allegiance and loyalty to the world or any of the nations of this world. We are to plan for the future but constantly reminding ourselves that there is no true future in this world. We are to make money and earn a decent living, but always reminding ourselves that more money must never become the primary motive for which we live. Like Rehab, we must never place hope in this world, but rather we must place loyalty to God's soon coming kingdom. As she deliberately worked against the world of her time in preference to the people of God, we must desist from preferring this world or her goods whenever they place a conflict with the Lord and His word! Like spies we must conduct our affairs with much restraint and wisdom, using all our resources to advance our grand objective, the growth and realization of Kingdom of God and his soon coming King! We can sing the national anthems of this world, but only as a lip service for our hearts must sing the praises of Him that have called us out of darkness into his marvelous lights. Even if we must suffer being misunderstood or never trusted or never loved, we must remember that it has to be so. For as we are not to love this world, so are they not to love us. _MEDITATION:_ *"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you. If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you."* (John 15:18-19 (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 6/AUGUST/2023* *Waiting on God* _Key Bible Text:_ *"'And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."* (Luke 24:49 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The times we belong to, many believe that God can do so much with a little or no praying at all. Our generation believes that IT IS NOT until you pray and fast and tarry for so long in God's presence before you carry the power of God. We ask why we don't see so much power at work, but don't equally ask why we don't tarry so much in the presence of God. We want to match the works of the Apostles, without waiting until we are endued with power from on high. The patience & perseverance of Paul in the three days of fasting or that of Jesus in waiting 40 days & night or that of the church that ministered unto the Lord in prayers & fasting is a reminder that the move of God is the outcome of the waiting on God. Even in all daily living, to enjoy supernatural happenings, we need to return to daily desire of koinonia with the Father. We need to relearn how to wait on the Lord, patiently & consistently as a matter of life style. And not even just because we want to move in power. But because their is deep desire for intimacy with the Father. Those who seek the Father farther, Enjoys his power longer. _MEDITATION:_ *"As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them."* (Acts 13:2 (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 5/AUGUST/2023* *THE FOLLOWING SAINTS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"'And JESUS SAID unto them, COME YE AFTER ME, and I WILL MAKE YOU to become FISHERS OF MEN. And straightway they forsook their nets, and followed him."* (Mark 1:17-18 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The saints that Jesus died for must become the saints that won't let his death go unsung, untold, uncelebrated and unannounced! *_Speaking Gospel_* The Gospel we are saved by and are called to preach is a speaking Gospel! Jesus said unto them! You & I are that "them" of today! The Gospel of Jesus must speak to you daily! The evidence that you have heard the speaking Gospel is when you too begin to recho the voice of the Gospel! What are you speaking today? Political news? Football news? Blog news? Entertainment news? Economic news? What you are speaking is a reflection of what you are hearing! Are you hearing the Gospel speak? *_Christ Seeking Gospel_* The Gospel must be all about Christ and Him crucified. If that is not the Focus, then it is not the Gospel. Not only that the Gospel must first make you a seeker of Christ, otherwise you have not truly received the Gospel. Those who truly come to Christ, must totally learn of Christ. I hear Jesus say, *"COME YE AFTER ME"* Do you? *_Men Making Gospel_* Christ seeks to make you! He says, I WILL MAKE YOU to become! WHATEVER you think you are today, can you say Christ made you that!? Anything you think you are or becoming that Christ has not made you into, is not the making of the Gospel! *_FISHERS OF MEN_* What Christ desires to make you become, is a fisher of men! God have not made you, until you become a fisher of men! That's the only thing Christ is proud to take credit for in your life! Even when you become a nurse, lawyer, Doctor, carpenter or furniture maker, fashion designer, markerter, CEO, farmer, teacher, accountant, or attendant or whatever you want, if you are not fishing men, Christ have not made you! When you relegate your primary role of fishing men to be only something you do or attempt to do during missions week, or during evangelism day, or during well planned church program, then we truly are yet to be fishers of men! _MEDITATION:_ *"Missions week without missions field is missions weak!"* #Selah *"Those who truly follow Jesus, follow after soul winning!"* *#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 4/AUGUST/2023* *A FAITH THAT STANDS STILL* _Key Bible Text:_ *"'Did the gods of any other nations save their countries from the emperor of Assyria? When did any of the gods of all these countries ever save their country from our emperor? Then what makes you think the LORD can save Jerusalem?' The people kept quiet, just as King Hezekiah had told them to; they did not say a word."* (2 Kings 18:33, 35-36 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ It is good to talk back at the devil. It is good to counter what the enemy voices are saying. Faith does that too. However do not put yourself under pressure to talk back at the devil even when the Lord has not spoken or you have not yet connected to know and speak what the Lord is saying. Faith keeps still too. Faith stays calm too. Faith refuses to respond too. Faith refuses to answer back too. Faith can be amusingly silent, and patient but not complacent. Don't forget Moses. Exodus 14:13 says, *"And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, STAND STILL, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you to day: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever."* Just like Hezekiah, after all Assyrian commanders had to say, ugly things like- *"When did any of the gods of all these countries ever save their country from our emperor? Then what makes you think the LORD can save Jerusalem?"* Or things like: You cannot save yourself or help yourself or heal yourself but you are praying for others and it will happen? Why? Where is your God? When questions or scenarios like this or similar to this comes your way, don't be quick or pressured to give a response. Trust God and be still for Faith stands still even in the storms. Jesus said the following words that still pictures how peace or calm and challenges can exist at the same time.. *"And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake. But there shall not an hair of your head perish. In your patience possess ye your souls."* Luke 21:17-19 (KJV) In your patience posses your soul, in your faith be calm and see God fight for you. _MEDITATION:_ *"When Faith is silent in the public it is because it is loud in the secret. Nurture the voice of God in your spirit man over that situation, so that when it is time to speak out, you will speak victoriously!"* *#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 3/AUGUST/2023* *The Cross: A Symbol of Humility* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."* (Philippians 2:2-3 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves! Wow! This is profound. However it is easier said than done, especially when you walk in the flesh! Realizing how heavy these words and those that follow are, the scriptures directly points us to remember how that Christ suffered on the Cross enabled by humility! Humility is central to the love walk. The second and horizontal part of the cross is our relationship with others. "God is love" means God loves OTHERS and cannot be without looking out for the good of others. This was perfectly demonstrated in Christ dying for us while we were still sinners. The Cross demands that you humble yourself before others as unto God! Humility will mean intentionally ignoring your rights at times. It means preferring others have their way. Humility means being emotionally intelligent and being aware of the needs of others as much as you are aware of yours. *"Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others." (Philippians 2:4 (KJV)) Humility will show in little things as well as in big things. How quickly you apologize even if you are not wrong How quickly you greet first even if you are greeting someone younger or you're superior too How you rather allow others to insult or annoy you without making a big deal of it How you don't allow everything that annoys you to become a big deal How you make effort to be at peace with others How you are able to not always choose to defend yourself even when you are right How you are able to suffer wrongly for something you didn't do or handle it with grace, poise and calm when defending yourself. _MEDITATION:_ *"You cannot carry your cross daily in following Jesus without humility!"* *#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.
