*DAILY DEW 2/AUGUST/2023* *The Cross: A Symbol of Humility* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross."* Philippians 2:5-6, 8 (KJV) _Bible Insight:_ The Cross of Christ is a reminder of and a lesson in HUMILITY! YOU cannot truly walk with God with the spirit of pride. This pride issue is definitely a matter! Christ conquered the flesh and by extension pride on the Cross. This should serve as a lesson in the pain of humility! Hear this:- humility will be painful at times. Don't expect to be humble always if you are not ready to count that pain of being treated less than you deserve as a gain! The Cross will demand that pride dies! Pride towards God must die! That's the VERTICAL side of the cross. It is your relationship with God. You must become humble in the sight of God. Your humility unto God is proven as you remain relentless in seeking His will, His word and His Ways in your life. A believer who is too busy to secure God's presence is proud. If you are too busy to make time to know God, you are simply saying that you're too big for God. When other things easily drag you away from God's presence, from your prayer/quiet/bible study time you are suffering from pride unknown to you. Those who humble themselves under the mighty hand of God ensure that they make a habit of staying at the feet of Jesus and at the foot of the cross. _MEDITATION:_ *"How humble are you before 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 1/AUGUST/2023* *No Cross, No Gospel* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified"* (1 Corinthians 2:1-2)) _Bible Insight:_ Dead bodies are used to train surgeons. They cut them open from head to toe, to see where everything is; so that they can know how to operate on the living. If you don't go to the Cross where Christ died, where His body was broken, and His blood was shed; where He tasted death; there is no way the Holy Spirit can help you live, or minister to you the living Christ. -- Pastor Ebele UzoPeters If you must be truly of Christ, you must be totally surrendered to the cross. To learn the way of the cross is to truly understand the way of Christ. Paul the apostle even made us to understand that his priority is to totally learn Jesus and Him Crucified so that his preaching will not raise believers who have no conviction engineered by the power of God. That your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:5) As a believer learn to dwell on the cross of Christ. Understand how central and primary the Cross remains to your life as a believer. You can't truly live out the realities of the divine life if you don't fully appreciate the divine death through the cross of Christ! For I delivered to you FIRST OF ALL that which I also received: THAT CHRIST DIED for our sins according to the Scriptures. (1 Corinthians 15:3) There can be no divine life without the divine death of the cross. _MEDITATION:_ *"Any minister of the word who shies away from the message of the Cross, is unfit to hold the scalpel blade of the Spirit, which is the word of God.-- EbeleUzoPetees* *#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 31/JULY/2023* *A Beginner's Guide to Prayer* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."* (Hebrews 4:16 (KJV) ) _Bible Insight:_ 1. Close the door to distractions When you come to prayer, eliminate distractions. Like intimacy in marriage, closeness with God happens behind closed doors. 2. Know that God Loves Your Presence God loves your presence more than you love His. Psalm 149:4 reveals that the Lord finds pleasure in His people. God's love for us is not based on tolerance but on deep affection. 3. Just be with God Learn to be with God, not just "seek" Him. In Exodus 24:12, God asks Moses to come up to the mountain and be there. This step encourages us to just 'be' in the presence of God, not necessarily doing anything but simply resting learning to be still before Him (Isaiah 30:15). 4. Don't be overcome by guilt when you falter Train your mind not to feel guilty for missing a day or two. If you didn't spend time in prayer like you may have wanted to, you shouldn't be overcome by guilt saying, "I'm sorry," instead, you should come back to prayer saying, "God, I've missed you." 5. God loves you despite your sin Lastly, never let sin prevent you from prayer. When Adam sinned, God didn't cancel His appointment with him. Instead, He sought Adam, asking him why he didn't show up (Genesis 3:9). _MEDITATION:_ *"God knew what Adam had done, yet instead of asking, "How could you have done that?" God asks Adam, "Where are you?"* *#Vlad_Savchuck* *#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 30/JULY/2023* *Adding Values; Removing Vanities* _Key Bible Text:_ *"The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light."* (Romans 13:12 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One month rounds off;another begins. One month finishes, another is about to be added. Technically speaking, we are putting off the old month and putting on the new. As the time passage signals a new beginning, and the end of a period, something must also be added and removed from your life. This addition and subtraction is very important. Something not okay must leave and something great must enter. Don't just look out for what to add. Also look out for what to remove. Check your value system. By that, I mean the parameter you use in judging what is right or wrong as well as the attitude and actions that make up your life. What can be improved upon in your value system? And what must you drop or stop indulging? YOU know certain things are not the best there can be, but laziness, procrastination and unseriouness have not allowed you drop them. Stop them- before they stop you! Drop them-- before they make you drop out from the path of excellence and greatness. Whatever is not good enough is not good enough. It can be likened to darkness. Take a walk. Move! Move to the light (& right) side of life. _MEDITATION:_ *"But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof."* (Romans 13:14 (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.
