*DAILY DEW 12/NOVEMBER/2022* *God Is Not Through With You Yet* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:"* (1 Corinthians 1:28-30 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Solomon only amplified his father's weakness for ladies. He had a huge appetite for women. All shades. Plump. Slim. Arsenal. Manchester. He could not say no to any one that caught his eye. He never discriminated against any lady. All nationalities were present in his harem. He was a very horny king with 700 wives and 300 concubines. They flocked around him because he had money to throw around. Excessive debauchery. Yet, God appeared to him many times and gave him an open cheque. New Testament? John the Baptist was very powerful and many feared him. A trail blazer who was quite unusual. Eccentric. But towards the end of his life, he doubted many things he knew. Gave in to depression and self-pity. Yet, no man born of woman is greater than John the Baptist. Peter was very presumptuous. A talkative who always spoke before he thinks. He was also impulsive. Behind the gra gra surface was a veneer of cowardice. A man who could not stand up to a maid later stood in front of thousands a few months later and led 3,000 to Christ in one day. Paul was an accessory to murder. He was sold out to exterminating believers. He had gone to collect letters authorizing him to arrest any believer he came across when he had a life-changing encounter that led to him writing half of the New Testament. The Bible did not gloss over their characters or whitewash them. Through their humanity, we also understand how frail we are and how we all go through similar trials and temptations. Through their victories, we are encouraged that we can also overcome our frailties and be victorious. The Bible is a perfect book of imperfect characters- people just like us, warts and all. Their stories were written to reassure us that God's grace is sufficient for us and His power is made perfect in our weakness. Don't give up! God is not through with you yet. _MEDITATION:_ *"For we do not have a High Priest who is unable to sympathize and understand our weaknesses and temptations, but One who has been tempted [knowing exactly how it feels to be human] in every respect as we are, yet without [committing any] sin.Therefore let us [with privilege] approach the throne of grace [that is, the throne of God’s gracious favor] with confidence and without fear, so that we may receive mercy [for our failures] and find [His amazing] grace to help in time of need [an appropriate blessing, coming just at the right moment]."* (Heb 4:15-16 Amplified)) *#Bayo_Adeyinka* *#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 11/NOVEMBER/2022* *God Is Not Through With You Yet* (I) _Key Bible Text:_ *"For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called: But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty"* (1 Corinthians 1:26-27 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ I love the Bible. It's a very real, practical and down-to-earth book. Very relatable. It doesn't gloss over the characters foibles. Shows you the characters struggle just like we do. Sarah's jealousy was never hidden. She was a very strong character who was over-bearing and a nag. If you're woke, you'll describe her as wicked for instigating the expulsion of a mother with a child. Yet, she was called mother of many nations. Abraham slept with his househelp. Got her pregnant. That was scandalous. His wife asked him to? Was he eyeing the househelp before?He told lies in the face of imminent danger. Not exactly courageous if you ask me. A simp but he was called a friend of God. Esther has been touted as a role model. But was she? She entered a beauty contest where one of the conditions was to sleep with the king. Yes, she slept with the boss to climb the ladder and improve her career prospects. Yet, she has a book named after her. Judah was a slave trader who patronized prostitutes and slept with his daughter-in-law. The products of the one-night stand were twins. A broke ass who slept with prostitutes on credit. But Jesus came through his tribe and is called the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. The story of Jacob is well known. A serial cheat, liar and fugitive. He played a fast one on his blind father. He was the Hushpuppi of his generation. His inspiration was his mum who played one child against the other. Yet, he became so great God was named after him- God of Jacob. David. Had an eye for women. Michal. Ahinoam Abigail. Maacah.Haggith. Abital. Eglah. Bathsheba. At least 8 wives. Murdered the husband of one of them and almost murdered the husband of another. To be sure David was dying, they had to put a young lady beside him to keep him warm. It was when he didn't have an erection that they knew he was truly gone. David was also a poor father. His children were indisciplined. One almost killed him and another raped the sister. His was a house of commotion. Nevertheless, his lineage was established forever with him being an ancestor of Jesus. _MEDITATION:_ *"Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men."* (1 Corinthians 1:25 (KJV)) *#Bayo_Adeyinka* *#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.
