*DAILY DEW 2/NOVEMBER/2023* *TONGUES* (VII) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy."* (1 Cor 14:1) _Bible Insight:_ Paul is basically saying that DESIRE is all a man with the spirit needs to manifest a spiritual gift. As a result he is exhorting us to desire spiritual gifts and stresses prophecy as he states it brings the most edification in a local church context. Now if all were limited to some gifts, he would not say this at all! He then goes on to state that he wants all to speak In tongues or even better prophesy! *"I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying."* (1 Cor 14:5) So to answer our question. Do all speak with tongues? The answer is NO! But can all speak with tongues? Every believer? The answer is yes! Should they earnestly desire to! For if they have the Holyghost and all gifts are in him then every manifestation is a possibility should they desire it! I hope this helped? _MEDITATION:_ *All gifts are in the Holy Ghost and you have the Holy Ghost. Therefore, every manifestation is a possibility if only you desire it!"* *#Olaleye_Oluwafemi* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_NOVEMBER,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/NOVEMBER/2023* *TONGUES* (VI) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ."* (Ephesians 4:11-12) _Bible Insight:_ What exactly does Paul mean by the statement/question-- “Do all speak in tongues?" The context of this Chapter is the body of Christ. The breakdown above is speaking to functions. Hence, he begins with apostles, prophets, teachers which are ministry gifts then miracles, gifts of healings, tongues and interpretation which are spiritual gifts. So the clear answer here will be "No". In the body of Christ, all do not have the function in the body to be apostles, prophets, workers of miracles and speakers of tongues. Don’t miss this . All do not have the same function! This is because Paul is speaking clearly as regards MINISTRY. For when we see Paul speak functionally about the body of Christ he refers to ministry function. *"And are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief corner stone"* (Eph 2:20) All don’t have the same function ministerially but note this. Everyone can manifest spiritual gifts if they DESIRE IT. *"But covet earnestly the best gifts."* 1 Cor 12:31 _MEDITATION:_ *Everyone can manifest spiritual gifts if they DESIRE IT."* *#Olaleye_Oluwafemi* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_NOVEMBER,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 31/OCTOBER/2023* *TONGUES* (V) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?"* (1 Corinthians 12:30) _Bible Insight:_ The second thing to understand is that Paul is bringing order to how the gifts are manifested in a typical church service. The teaching on the gifts has a local church service context. It is why he says in 1 Corinthians 14:23-- *If therefore the whole church be come together into one place, and all speak with tongues, and there come in those that are unlearned, or unbelievers, will they not say that ye are mad?* And again in 1 Corinthians 14:26, it says *"How is it then, brethren? when ye come together, every one of you hath a psalm, hath a doctrine, hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath an interpretation. Let all things be done unto edifying."* It is why the emphasis of 1 Corinthians 12,13, 14 is actually edification and love. For a healthy body is one that exists in harmony. If the body doesn’t edify itself then the body eventually gets diseased and then dies. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, what exactly does Paul mean by the statement/question-- “Do all speak in tongues?" _MEDITATION:_ *For a healthy body is one that exists in harmony."* *#Olaleye_Oluwafemi* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_NOVEMBER,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 27/NOVEMBER/2022* *WHAT WOULD BE YOUR PRICE?* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine."* (2 Timothy 4:2 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Neymar is one of the most well-known footballers in the world, and famously public about his Christian faith. After it was reported his club offered him $500,000 a month in return for keeping quiet about Jesus, the Evangelical Alliance’s Phil Knox, asks: “what would be your price?” It sounds like an icebreaker question at the start of your midweek small group: _Would you rather have half a million pounds a month or be able to talk about Jesus at work?_ The scenario seems pretty extreme but, incredibly enough, this question is based on a real-life example. It has been reported that Brazilian footballer Neymar has a clause in his contract whereby he receives almost €500,000 per month if he avoids “any political or religious propaganda that could damage the image and unity of the club”. The Paris Saint Germain (PSG) player is a Christian and has made several public expressions of faith, but it seems, contractually, he is obliged not to make any more. The motivations behind this clause are fascinating to explore, both on the part of the club and the player, and it raises some interesting questions for all followers of Jesus. A SOURCE OF ENCOURAGEMENT Perhaps Neymar thinks that public declarations don’t make much of an impact. I would love to let him know that they do. In a world where it can feel increasingly unpopular to follow Jesus, public figures expressing how much their faith impacts their life can be a source of great encouragement. I have been known to punch the air in agreement with the Queen on Christmas day as she preaches Christ to millions, and holler in agreement with Justin Bieber as he affirms, “I doubt I’d be alive if not for Jesus.” I revel in retweeting the regular scriptural insights of The A-Team’s Mr. T. When celebrities step out in faith declaration, it reminds Christians of their own place in the cloud of witnesses and strengthens plausibility structures for those searching for answers or exploring Christianity. _MEDITATION:_ *"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry."* (2 Timothy 4:3-5 (KJV)) *#Phil_Knox* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_NOVEMBER* ❤ Links To Visit: *Register4HTP2022:* https://bit.ly/HTP2022_ACTIVATED *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 26/NOVEMBER/2022* *CONDITION YOUR MIND FOR GREATNESS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"FOR AS HE THINKETH IN HIS HEART, SO IS HE: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart is not with thee."* (Proverbs 23:7 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Avoid people who talk only about how tough the country and the world is and how so many people are suffering and can’t pay their rent and school fees. You already know these things so you don’t need constant reminders. Spend time instead with those who discuss opportunities and those who are doing great things by seizing these opportunities. Cos there is always abundance. Imagine how much oil and gas companies have made in the last few months while millions of people are protesting and grappling with high energy bills. Just imagine it. Imagine how much pharmaceutical companies and companies like Zoom and Amazon made during Covid while millions of people were excited about handouts from their various governments. Imagine how much many online learning platforms continue to make today as people continue to strive to learn money making skills. It’s the same world, but different experiences. _MEDITATION:_ *"And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, which come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight."* (Numbers 13:33 (KJV)) *#Tochukwu_Nkwocha* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_NOVEMBER* ❤ Links To Visit: *Register4HTP2022:* https://bit.ly/HTP2022_ACTIVATED *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.
