*DAILY DEW 26TH/ OCTOBER/2021* *CONTROL YOUR ANGER* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Be not quick in your spirit to become angry, for anger lodges in the heart of fools". (Ecclesiastes 7:9 (ESV.))* _Bible Insight:_ Mehn, the level of maturity that I see myself exhibiting in certain situations recently amazes me. Like, something that would have made me react very angrily in the past would happen these days and I won't even bat an eyelid. My reactions these days dey even shock me. 😂 I know that my relationship with God has become deepened than it used to be, but then I don't know if I should attribute this new level of maturity to that or if it is just old age playing out or if it's a combination of both. You know old age is nobody's mate. 😜 That being said, the truth is that some fights are just not worth the energy at all. Most often than not, we allow ourselves to be so eaten up by an offense or a particular situation that we exert so much energy that should have been channeled into something more rewarding into responding to an event that can actually be overlooked or at most responded to with lesser force. This is how some of us have ended up blowing things out of proportion for ourselves thereby landing into a bigger shit. Does it mean you should always let things go unattended to? Absolutely not, however, you can learn how to determine what offense is truly worth your energy, how to respond in a calmer way that will not get in the way of your mental wellbeing, and above all, how to shock people by simply pressing the ignore button, especially those who do certain "evil" on purpose just to trigger you to make you act stupidly. Remember that some of these people are the ones who will not hesitate to make a video of your stupid moments to post online just to tarnish your image. It might surprise you to know that some offense is geared towards triggering you to do stupid things that can be used against you in the future, this is why you need to be wise enough to think through certain stuff before responding. MEDITATION: *Don't always be swift to respond especially when you are angry. Do not make your heart a home for anger, doing that will only label you a fool even if you think you are not.* *#Ugoma_Johnson.* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Month_of_Goodnews* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_October* ❤ 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/2021/10/control-your-anger.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 19TH/OCTOBER/2021* *NOT NATURAL* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.* (John 13:34-35 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The love Christ laid down for us to emulate is not natural- a love that cares for the loveless and unlovable. Christ did not die for some group of nice people who wanted to do some good in the world. Actually, the reverse was the case. Christ died for a bunch of people who do nothing but some evil in this world. And in case, you're wondering, that includes you and I. It would have been probably easier to die for some bunch of jolly good fellows who wanted to do some good in the world. But how do you die for folks who did nothing but sin and careless about God? Such is the love that Christ set for us to emulate. The Love Jesus gave us is one that cares for those who do not care; one that forgives those who do not forgive; one that respects those who do not respect A love that prays for one's enemies and sincerely desires good for them. This is not a love that says, love your neighbour as you love yourself. That is a limited version of love. This love says, love your neigbour first, before loving yourself. How else did Jesus love us? *"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you..."* This love is never natural! It is supernatural! *MEDITATION* *Love endures long and is patient and kind; love never is envious nor boils over with jealousy, is not boastful or vainglorious, does not display itself haughtily. It is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride); it is not rude (unmannerly) and does not act unbecomingly. Love (God's love in us) does not insist on its own rights or its own way, for it is not self-seeking; it is not touchy or fretful or resentful; it takes no account of the evil done to it [it pays no attention to a suffered wrong].* (1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (AMP)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Month_of_Goodnews* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Hello_October* ❤ 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/2021/10/not-natural-2.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 12TH/OCTOBER/2021* *WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE THE CHURCH THEY ATTEND* _Key Bible Text:_ *And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.* (Acts 5:11-12 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *HERE ARE THE MANY REASONS WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE THE CHURCH THEY ATTEND: 1. The crowd the church pulls (everybody goes there) 2. Ambiance and comfortability of the church facility 3. The caliber of weekly attendees (for connection) 4. The charisma and personality of the pastor (I just like the pastor) 5. Family background (It's our family church) 6. The quality of their music (that church can sing) 7. Proximity (it's the one closest to my house) 8. Feel-good-only motivational preaching (I don't want any preaching that will 'stress' me) 9. The kind of programs they organize (talent hunts, singles valentine's picnic, suya and soya night, comedy and lots of fun, etc) BUT HERE ARE THE GOD-ORDAINED REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE A CHURCH YOUR HOME CHURCH: 1. Where I am challenged and trained to pray 2. Where I am taught and inspired to uphold the Word of God above everything else and live by it 3. Where I am guided on how to explain the gospel in clarity and win others to Christ 4. Where I am loved and practically taught to walk in love and serve others selflessly 5. Where I am challenged and shown how to walk in righteousness and in power 6. Where I can be accountable for my own spiritual growth Ask yourself today, why do you attend that church you attend? If it is any of the reasons in the first category, you are simply a Christian Club member, you don't have a church. *MEDITATION* *But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.* (1 Timothy 3:15 (KJV)) *#Sam_Chiaka* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Month_of_Goodnews* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_October* ❤ Links To Visit: *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/2021/10/why-people-choose-church-they-attend.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 5TH/OCTOBER/2021* *THE BETTER COVENANT* (V) _Key Bible Text:_ *My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous* (1 John 2:1 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *4."I will forgive their sins and will no longer remember their wrongs."* Under the new covenant, there is a guarantee of divine forgiveness and total forgetfulness of your sins by God. Hallelujah! God is committed to making you His own forever. Recognizing human fallibility & imperfection, He promises you an open check of forgiveness of sin and complete forgetfulness of sin. Please note that this is in addition to all the other three promises- 1. "I will put my laws in their minds and write them on their hearts."; 2. "I will be their God, and they will be my people."; 3. "None of them will have to teach their friends or tell their neighbors, 'Know the Lord.' For they will all know me, from the least to the greatest." Hence, a believer who is living conscious of the entire promises upon which the new covenant is built, will appreciate the intent of 1John 2:1- *these things write I unto you, that ye sin not* Sin is not expected but only recognized as a possibility that could be encountered on the journey towards perfection. In the event that it occurs, (we are not told to live in the consciousness of sin, but in the event that we malfunction, because sin is a bug or malware in the system of the recreated believer), we have an advocate who is skilled in the art of ensuring that we obtain forgiveness and complete forgetfulness of sin from the Father. This should fuel us to pursue perfection, knowing that should anything go wrong inadvertently in the process, we are not canceled out but we are encouraged to "go and sin no more" Hallelujah! *MEDITATION* *And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for our's only, but also for the sins of the whole world. And hereby we do know that we know him, if we keep his commandments.* (1 John 2:2-3 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Month_of_Goodnews* *#Hello_October* ❤ Links To Visit: *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional/episodes/TROUBLED-elli7h *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/10/the-better-covenant-v.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 28TH /SEPTEMBER/2021* *HEARING GOD* _Key Bible Text:_ *To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.* (John 10:3-4 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ When I was still riding a motorbike, I went somewhere to preach in the early 1980s. As I was returning, there was a heavy downpour of rain and it beat hard on me like stones. There was no shelter under which to park. The only option was to keep going. I shivered with cold. I cried out "Lord, remember your servant. O God, I am not complaining, but remember me. I have to go to places for preaching engagements. You are the one who provided this motorcycle. Thank You. But I wish you would give me a car, to reduce the stress I am facing at this time". And the Lord said "I will get you a car". A week after, a sister brought a Volkswagen Beetle. She said the Lord told her that she should give me the car. Then I asked the Lord, "Is this the car?" The Lord said, "This is not the car. This is a sympathy offering. If I were you. I would not take it." Who am I to take what the Lord would not take? I politely thanked the sister and told her that I could not take the car and that it was neither meant for me nor for the work. She got annoyed. She said "What do you mean? I told you that God told me to give it to you!" Then I said "But I told you that God did not tell me to receive it." She got me wrong. And did not understand me. She jumped up and said "Well, we are trying to help you. Are you trying to be over humble?" I was surprised. Then she took the car, went and gave it to another preacher in town who did not know that the car had been brought to me before. When I got to that preacher's house for the regular leader's meeting, he joyfully told me about the miraculous provision of the car. He said "Sir, see the car the Lord has provided for me!" I said, "Yes, that's alright. Praise God." So he started riding the car. But when the husband of the lady arrived from his journey, he asked his wife about the car. She said the Lord led her to give it out. He said "No, don't bring confusion into my house. Go and bring back my car. Otherwise, there will be problem." The sister began to run helter-skelter. The man said "I am a Christian, and you are a Christian. Go and bring my car back. God has not told me to give it to any evangelist." The sister went and begged the man of God and brought the car back. The man of God began to trek again. When next I went for our usual fellowship, the man of God said, "Do you see what this brother did? His wife made an offering to the Lord, and he disagreed. She came and collected the car back. They have insulted the Lord." I laughed. When he calmed down, I said "Sir, I don't know whether you prayed about it. The car was brought to me before and the Lord said it was not meant for me and the work. And so when I saw it in your house, I wondered how the Lord led you. But it's alright. Please, wait for the right vehicle. When it comes, you will know".
