*LIFE* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*“It’s urgent that you listen carefully to this: Anyone here who believes what I am saying right now and aligns himself with the Father, who has in fact put me in charge, has at this very moment the real, lasting life and is no longer condemned to be an outsider. This person has taken a giant step from the world of the dead to the world of the living.* (John 5:24(MSG))
_Bible Insight:_
In part one of the topic about life we see that Jesus Christ is the true life indeed. Only in Him and through Him can we truly live.
According to our text today, Jesus Christ is showing us how a person can get eternal life. He says if anyone listen carefully to His (Jesus) word and aligns himself with the Father, such a person automatically has Eternal Life.
Lets see the text in another version
(“I say emphatically that anyone who listens to my message and believes in God who sent me has eternal life, and will never be damned for his sins, but has already passed out of death into life. (Living Bible))
This is telling us that a person who refuses to hear and believe Jesus and the one who sent him, by following the sayings of Jesus Christ cannot and will not have eternal life.
How can they hear for them to believe? Romans 10:13 to 15 says:
13 Anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord will be saved.
14 But how shall they ask him to save them unless they believe in him? And how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?
15 And how will anyone go and tell them unless someone sends him?
This is what the Scriptures says about those who make effort to tell others about the way to life:
“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of peace with God and bring glad tidings of good things.â€[b] In other words, how welcome are those who come preaching God’s Good News! (Living Bible)
*Are you saved? Do you believed? Have you been sent?*
If your answer is yes, then the giver of life resides in you and also with you to give life to the people around you who are in the captive of the devil, to set the captives free through the life that is the light in you.
And if you are not saved, it is not too late for you to believe and call upon the name of the Lord who can give eternal life and bring you out of condemnation (out of darkness) into His marvelous light. You can turn your back to sin and turn to God.
*How can I do this? How can I get life?*
(1) Sincerely repent from your sin, (2) confess your sins to God (3) accept the Lordship of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice He made because of you, (4) turn back to him and turn away from the lust of this world, (5) call on him for mercy with faith and He will give you life eternal.
Put your faith in Jesus and you shall rejoice evermore.
*MEDITATION*
*For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world, and forfeit his life [[a]in the eternal kingdom of God]? (MARK 8:36 (Amplified Bible, Classic Edition)*

*CONTROLLED ANGER*
_Key Bible Text:_
*Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back.*
(Proverbs 29:11 (NLT))
_Bible Insight:_
Many people think that all anger is sinful, but that’s not true. Anger only becomes sin when it is expressed in an inappropriate way.
Sometimes the most appropriate response to a situation is anger. It can even be an expression of love. In fact, the Bible says God gets righteously angry, and the only reason you're able to experience anger is because you're created in his image.
But there is such a thing as sinful anger. This is when we blow up or clam up. It’s when we threaten, insult, or belittle someone.
While mismanaged anger is a sin, managed anger is an asset because it gives you a clear-headed view of the situation and allows you to respond with God’s love—even if you’ve been wronged.
Because God is for you and not against you, he gives you the ability to choose how to handle your anger. With the Holy Spirit working within you, you can choose a healthy response.
Have you ever been in a heated argument at home, and the phone rang and you answered it by sweetly saying, "Hello"? What just happened? You were able to change your tone instantly because you wanted to.
Proverbs 29:11 says, "Fools vent their anger, but the wise quietly hold it back" (NLT).
Choosing to get angry is just that—a choice. You’ve probably said at some point, "You make me so mad!" But nobody can control your emotions without your permission. *You can decide beforehand how you will respond and manage your anger.*
Your relationship with Christ will determine how well you master the anger in your life. Even in a crisis, in the most difficult of situations, you can manage your anger with God's love inside you.
*And when anger is managed wisely and appropriately, it produces great marriages, great friendships, great businesses, great leaders, and great progress*
MEDITATION:
*Right now, think of ways you could manage yourself whenever you're angry*

*DAILY DEW 23RD/JULY/2021*
*The Fundamentals of the Faith* (VI)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and OF ETERNAL JUDGMENT.* (Hebrews 6:2 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
The doctrine of eternal judgment teaches that all that we do in the flesh or while alive here on earth, shall be weighed on the balance by God's righteous yardstick. Many times, we gloss over the subject of judgment but it is indeed a very great matter before God.
Jesus preached a lot about judgment. He kept reminding his audience about its weight and importance:
In Matthew 12:36-37 (KJV), _"But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof IN THE DAY OF JUDGMENT. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."_
In Matthew 12:41-42 (KJV) _"The men of Nineveh shall rise IN JUDGMENT with this generation, and shall condemn it: because they repented at the preaching of Jonas; and, behold, a greater than Jonas is here. The queen of the south shall rise up IN THE JUDGMENT with this generation, and shall condemn it: for she came from the uttermost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here."_
The doctrine of Judgment follows the reality and doctrine of resurrection. We are not like animals that die and simply return to dust. When we die, our spirits and souls are reaped by God waiting for judgement while our bodies return to dust.
In 1 John 4:17 (KJV), it reads *"Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world."*
This is indeed one doctrine that all must lay to mind. Like the day of exam for students, and they strive to be ready for that day, we too must bear the day of Judgment in mind, and ensure that we shall have confidence when that day comes. And so help us God. Amen.
*MEDITATION:*
*For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?* (1 Peter 4:17-18 (KJV))

*The Fundamentals of the Faith* (II)
_Key Bible Text:_
*Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of FAITH TOWARD GOD.* (Hebrews 6:1 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Let's look at Hebrews 6:1 again. The term "principles of the doctrine of Christ" catches my attention. It reads in such a way that means a lot. First, there is a doctrine that God have approved. This is the doctrine of Christ. Second, the principles of the doctrine of Christ has a list of subjects, including, repentance from dead works. It also include "faith toward God" among others.
Today, we shall focus on faith towards God. This is a very crucial fundamental principle. Faith towards God is revealed in how we relate to His word. Do we take it to heart? Do we believe it, act upon it, meditate in it, teach it, sing it and above all, uphold it at all times? Faith towards God is not a thing of the heart alone. It is a matter we hold both at heart and in our daily lifestyle. And we must remember that the word of God is Jesus.
Faith towards God is also revealed in how we relate to God as a person. Do we reverence Him? Do we care about what He cares about? Do we shun what he shuns? Do we take seriously the things He takes seriously? Faith towards God is the foundation of our relationship and existence as believers. Without faith in God, we have no Christianity nor Doctrine of Christ.
*MEDITATION:*
*And how I kept back nothing that was profitable unto you, but have shewed you, and have taught you publickly, and from house to house, Testifying both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.* (Acts 20:20-21 (KJV))

*FEAR SEEKS HELP*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it.* (Hebrews 4:1 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
If you are a King James lover or student, you will see that Hebrews 4, starts with a line about "Fear" and ends with a line about "help". You can actually do some editing and remove all the words and verses in between, and you will be left with *"Let us therefore fear, .... and find grace to help in time of need."* Fear seeks help. Fear not only seeks help, it needs help.
Fear makes us realize we can't do it on our own. We need an external helping hand. Fear is not out of place in the life of the believer. A lot of teachings banish fear completely and demonize fear. There are many instances in scripture calling us to fear, directly and indirectly. Today's key text is one of such.
Fear, in this context drives us to seek help from God. It drives us to realize that the subject matter causing the fear is one that without our reliance on God, we wouldn't be able to handle on our own.
*MEDITATION:*
*Now, God has offered us the promise that we may receive that rest he spoke about. LET US TAKE CARE, then, that none of you will be found to have failed to receive that promised rest.* (Hebrews 4:1 (GNB))
