*DAILY DEW 23/JULY/2023* *Time vs Eternity* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be."* (Revelation 22:12 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ There is no "time" in eternity but there is a dimension of eternity in time. Eternity is timeless or endless. Hence, time is relative to this present world. Only in this world does time count. However there is a relationship between time and eternity. You cannot achieve in eternity whatever you have not achieved in time. Let me be clear in this regard. If you don't make peace with God in this life where time counts, YOU CANNOT MAKE peace with God in eternity where time does not count. If you sow unrighteous works now in this time zone, you will reap the wrath of God in eternity. Choose wisely! God's kingdom operates on a cause and effect basis. You cannot play away your life on earth and expect God to pay you in eternity! This life where time matters is WORK ZONE! And you are always working. The issue is whether your works are righteous or unrighteous; whether they are acceptable or unacceptable; whether they are good or bad; whether they are faithful or unfaithful; whether they are of light or of darkness; and whether they are pleasing to God or displeasing to God. Beloved work the works that please God now that you are on earth! Otherwise, WHEN you get to eternity, you will not like what you get! Every seed sown here on earth will yield its kind of harvest in eternity. Eternity is REWARD ZONE oh! Time bound earth is work zone; eternity is reward zone! Time bound earth is work zone; eternity is reward zone!! Time bound earth is work zone; eternity is reward zone!!! What kinds of works are you working? You cannot afford to lazy about when God is taking note of your works waiting for you in eternity. Anything God blesses you on earth with, is only a tip of the iceberg compared to what awaits you in eternity. Keep your focus on the eternal. LABOUR! BUT *"Labour not for the meat which perisheth, but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting life, which the Son of man shall give unto you: for him hath God the Father sealed."* John 6:27 (KJV) _MEDITATION:_ *"And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth: Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours; and their works do follow them."* (Revelation 14:13 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JULY,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 22/JULY/2023* *The Brevity of Time* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble."* (Job 14:1 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Time is always measured in relation to a person or purpose or thing. Time is counted or measured in reference to a person's life. Your life is basically made up of time! This is why you take note of your age or years in life. How old you are, determines how and what people expects of you. When you were a toddler certain things were expected of and excused for you. You could cry anywhere and everyone would understand. When you became a teenager, you were not expected to cry for the same reasons or in the same way a toddler would do. The design of God is that time is fleeting and passing. Time is brief. Today will soon give way for tomorrow. To therefore appreciate the brevity of life is a mark of wisdom. One of the people I look up to, speaks a lot about having a "*sense of urgency*". It is basically an understanding that time is short and therefore whatever is right to be done, should be done already rather than delaying same. Paul achieved so much in life and ministry, contributing so much as 1/3 of the new testament because he strongly believes that time was short. *You will not achieve as much as you could If you live with the erroneous thinking that there is time!* When you truly embrace the philosophy that TIME IS SHORT, you will drastically hate procrastinating, wasteful or lazy lifestyle and slow decisions or actions. _MEDITATION:_ Here is a clear picture of Paul's philosophy when it comes to time: *"But I say this, brothers: the time is short, that from now on, both those who have wives may be as though they had none; and those who weep, as though they didn’t weep; and those who rejoice, as though they didn’t rejoice; and those who buy, as though they didn’t possess; and those who use the world, as not using it to the fullest. For the mode of this world passes away."* (1 Corinthians 7:29-31(WEB)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JULY,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 21/JULY/2023* *The Illusion of Time* _Key Bible Text:_ *"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven"* (Ecclesiastes 3:1 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ There will not always be time! Don't be deceived. You will not always have time. It is an illusion, a deceit of some sort, to believe that you will always have time. Realize that God has allocated time for each specific things or activities. There is a due time set for different things. You won't always have the time to do today what you should have done yesterday. This is because by the design of life, whenever you miss a particular time for doing something, at the time you return to do that same thing, you actually should be doing something else. The prodigal son for instance will always have a history of having been way ward. God's mercy and grace will forgive, but that story of him leaving his father and going to live a riotous living will always take a meaningful slot and impact in his life. He can never undo that. That time is wasted and gone forever. It is therefore a common error to suppose that there is always time. Indeed by mercy, God can grant you uncommon speed that gives you supernatural favour to achieve within a short time, what should take a longer period. However, you cannot at any time actually "recover" any time that you have wasted. _MEDITATION:_ *"Redeeming the time, because the days are evil."* (Ephesians 5:16 (KJV)) *“Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time."* (Colossians 4:5 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JULY,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 20/JULY/2023* *The Weakness That Brings Strength* _Key Bible Text:_ *"I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.* (Daniel 10:3, 8 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ There are paradoxes in life. Also in God's design for His children and His kingdom many paradoxes exist as well. Hamlet is notorious or popular for saying "I must be cruel to be kind"! How can that be? Does cruelty produce kindness? In God's Kingdom, certain things appear as contradictions but are simply true and powerful. For instance, Christ was made poor that we might become rich; those who profess to be wise in their own eyes become fools in God's eyes; those who scatter abroad or give generously retain or gather more than those who withhold or hoard their blessings! In the same vein, we must embrace weakness to become truly strong. God's strength is made perfect in our weakness. If you come to God as strong, you will first be made weak, so you can truly become strong. And If you come to God as weak, then God makes you truly strong. In seeking God dilligently, you must embrace the process of weakness. Long waitings on God, fervent prayers, and committed fastings will first weaken you (bodily) so that you can be strengthened spiritually. You must understand this. Don't be afraid of the body weakness that necessarily follows intense seeking of God's presence. Embrace it. We must go through that "pain" before we can take benefits of the gains of diligently seeking God. _MEDITATION:_ *“Are you still afraid of seeking God in fastings and prayers because of the physical toll it has on your body? Don't be! Your physical weakness is the temporary down payment for your gain of spiritual stamina and weight!"* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JULY,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.
