*DAILY DEW 25/MAY/2023* *SANCTIFIED BY GOD THE FATHER* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Jude, the servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, to them that are sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ, and called."* (Jude 1:1 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *"Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God?"* In John 10:36, that was what Jesus asked the Jews who wanted to stone him for making himself equal with God by claiming he was the son of God. The point for me is that Jesus regarded himself as *"him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world."* Truly, that is the reality everyone who claims to follow Jesus must have. *We are those whom the Father had sanctified and sent into this world of sin and corruption.* When you consider the meaning of sanctification, you will realize that if we were not in this decaying world, we won't be in need of sanctification. Sanctification is therefore a must for every follower of Jesus, who have been saved. To be sanctified is to be made holy, and set aside for sacred or ceremonial use. Your sanctification is a big deal for God. If Jesus was sanctified, none of us will do without sanctification. A close scrutiny at scriptures will reveal that sanctification is two fold. And this we shall study more of as God gives us grace. _MEDITATION:_ *The church is not a theological classroom. It is a conversion, confession, repentance, reconciliation, forgiveness and sanctification center, where flawed people place their faith in Christ, gather to know and love him better, and learn to love others as he designed.* -- Paul David Tripp. *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,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 24/MAY/2023* *“HE ANOINTS MY HEAD WITH OIL"* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over."* (Psalms 23:5 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ I always wondered what this part of Psalm 23 meant. I thought “He anoints my head with oil” was figurative language for God keeping the Psalmist healthy. I never knew this parallel. Sheep can get their head caught in briers and die trying to get untangled. There are horrid little flies that like to torment sheep by laying eggs in their nostrils which turn into worms and drive the sheep to beat their head against a rock, sometimes to death. Their ears and eyes are also susceptible to tormenting insects. So, the shepherd anoints their whole head with oil. Then there is peace. That oil forms a barrier of protection against the evil that tries to destroy the sheep. Do you have times of mental torment? Do worrisome thoughts invade your mind over and over? Do you beat your head against a wall trying to stop them? Have you ever asked God to anoint your head with oil? He has an endless supply! His oil protects and makes it possible for you to fix your heart, mind, and eyes on Him today and always! There is peace in the valley! May our good Father anoint your head with oil today so that your cup overflows with blessings! God is good and He is faithful!!” _MEDITATION:_ *The oil is a symbol of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is God's antidote to enable the believer stay protected in this poisonous world.* -- David Joshua Egbochuo *#Author_Unknown* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,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 23/MAY/2023* *RAISE A PRAYER ALTAR FOR MISSIONARIES* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God's mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike. I am in chains now, still preaching this message as God's ambassador. So pray that I will keep on speaking boldly for him, as I should."* (Ephesians 6:19-20 (NLT)) _Bible Insight:_ GO into the world and be involved in MISSIONS. Even if you can't, for certain reasons, PLEASE PRAY FOR MISSIONARIES. They seem to be the target of the enemy as we speak. Pray for: Safety & Provision, among others. We need your prayers NOW than before. The GOSPEL needs to be preached at all cost but it doesn't have to be by the blood of men when it could be averted. Hearing of the transition of missionaries from all around the world, on mission fields, is capable of weakening the resilience of others. Please PRAY FOR MISSIONARIES. Please GIVE TO MISSIONS. Please GO FOR MISSIONS. I speak as one who has a FIRSTHAND experience of what missionaries go through to make sure the GOSPEL is preached to the unreached. May the LORD give the Church understanding and cause the LIGHT of the GOSPEL to spread beyond our laxity in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen. _MEDITATION:_ *A believer that is not involved in missions cannot possibly be following Christ who is God's missionary from heaven to earth.* -- David Joshua Egbochuo *#Peter_Jerry* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,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 22/MAY/2023* *CALLED TO PRAY FOR THE NATIONS-- SUDAN* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel."* (Ephesians 6:18-19 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ PRAY FOR SUDAN- For families in Sudan, holding on to hope at present is a great challenge. Those stepping out of their front door do not know whether they will return alive. Please pray for safety for those living with fear. Local church leaders tell Open Doors that the climate of fear is now being fanned by politicians. Voices from the old Bashir regime are now openly suggesting the move to democracy was an error, and that the only peace now lies in a return to the authoritarian rule of the past. Please pray that the Sudanese people reject these voices. Local church leaders ask that we pray for justice and healing – and an outcome that does not open the way for more radical Islamist groups. Please pray that the Sudanese people continue to fight for a government that respects human rights, freedom of worship and dignity for all. _MEDITATION:_ *Making prayers for the nations is a call and an assignment given to every follower of Jesus.* -- David Joshua Egbochuo *#Caroline_Duffield* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,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 21/MAY/2023* *CALLED TO PRAY FOR THE NATIONS-- SUDAN* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"I want you to know how glad I am that it's me sitting here in this jail and not you. There's a lot of suffering to be entered into in this world--the kind of suffering Christ takes on. I welcome the chance to take my share in the church's part of that suffering."* (Colossians 1:24 (The Message)) _Bible Insight:_ “Christians in Sudan are always vulnerable,” notes Fikiru Mehari, a field researcher with the Christian charity Open Doors in East Africa, “and now, they are even more vulnerable.” Open Doors ranks Sudan at number ten on it’s World Watch List - making Sudan the 10th most dangerous country in the world to be a Christian. Conversion from Islam to Christianity no longer means the death penalty – but it does means shame and hostility. Christian converts are often thrown out of their own homes and communities, or disinherited by parents. “Now we have a situation, in this violence, where Christian converts may be trapped, or locked up, with family members who may be deeply abusive to them,” Mehari points out. ”It is a situation of huge concern, particularly for women.” Financial vulnerability is a further issue. Employment discrimination against Christians is a fact of life in Sudan. “When you apply for a job, they will openly ask you at interview, what is your religion?” says Mehari. “Many times that translates into only precarious employment, and no permanent means of income. It is likely that the majority of Christians will not have that cushion of savings to fall back on.” When life becomes a desperate hunt for food, medicine or fuel, those without savings will face harrowing choices. _MEDITATION:_ *The acutely Persecuted Christians should always be a concerned for every follower of Christ.* -- David Joshua Egbochuo *#Caroline_Duffield* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,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.
