Take a deep breath Remember that as long as you're alive, there's hope. Hope helps us face life's challenges with confidence, knowing that something better is on the way. Don't lose hope; you never know what good things God has planned for you tomorrow. Yes he has big plans for you. #Graced ..

*DAILY DEW 31/MAY/2022* *DISCIPLESHIP, GATHERINGS & GROWTH* _Key Bible Text:_ *“Some people have gotten out of the habit of meeting for worship, but we must not do that. We should keep on encouraging each other, especially since you know that the day of the Lord's coming is getting closer."* (Hebrews 10:25 (CEV)) _Bible Insight:_ 'We don't need long sermons. Just 10 minutes can be very edifying' Me: Ah, satan we've seen you. Stop disguising. 10 minutes is edifying. 2 hours is more edifying. It's only in the body of Christ soldiers are told to train on their own. Soldiers train together as an army! Get into the gathering of the saints. That's where the training is! Amen After 3 years of ministry, Paul said to the Pastors at Ephesus, 'I have not shunned to declare to you the whole counsel of God' (Acts 20:27). They had been taught all they needed to know as touching the Christian faith. It was because they met daily (Acts 20:31). You can spend 20 years in church today and not even learn the essential and core doctrines in the faith because we have to keep relaying foundations. You come to church once a week and the world washes off the influence before the next week. Either by stronger cell units, family structures, or community level gatherings, we (must) gather more as we see the day approaching...! A major part of discipleship is PHYSICAL OVERSIGHT. We don't just preach and teach mindlessly. There are people who get distracted, some sleep off, some start chatting. I'm always on the look out for people while teaching. This oversight also plays out during prayer. There are those who just stand and look around while others show no zeal at all. Such people are helped in the gatherings. This is one of the disadvantages of online streaming. Many tune in without actively following and we can't even know. Imagine if Jesus had streamed the last prayer meeting in the garden, He wouldn't have known that they were sleeping through the session. Take away physical oversight, discipleship is weakened and on its way out. _MEDITATION:_ *“Research has shown that it takes at least 66 days (two months and six days) to build a habit that automatically shows up in our daily living. For most believers, their bible study and prayer habits are epileptic because they've never gone just one month without breaks. In the early church, this was easily achieved because they gathered daily. Long term exposure to sound doctrine and training is the only pathway to maturity!"* *#Adebowale_Ibukun_Tosin* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Grace_For_Accomplishments* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_June* ❤ 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 *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 30/MAY/2022* *COMMISSIONED* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *“Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the [very] close and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be)."* (Matthew 28:19-20 (Amplified)) _Bible Insight:_ You see, my understanding of ministry makes it very hard for me to put musicians on such pedestals that makes them feel so entitled. Because you see, the person doing the most in the church is the SOUL WINNER. If you don't get this, you might need to read the whole of the gospels and Acts again. So, the major person Jesus is going to commend in the church is the SOUL WINNER. Take away his work, there will be no ministry! The soul winner is any Christian that has received training for the work of ministry. Do we pay those? If we don't pay people for winning souls, which is the major work in the church; the major work that makes the work of Jesus come to effect in the lives of men, then I can't be thinking of paying people for ushering, playing instrument, etc. Does that mean I don't value them? Oh, is money how we value people's service in church now? Who are they serving? Jesus? He values them! We value them too! And we value everyone serving the Lord freely in His house. The church is such that the keyboardist is grateful for the usher, not that he feels he is the engine driving the ministry and everyone else should be grateful that he's around. Poor mindset. This is why folks in church who are growing in the word should be the ones to rather learn to play one or two instruments. Such men don't feel entitled in the ministry. They know they've been blessed and their service is nothing but gratitude. I really don't get this talk about, 'So with the much work and effort and money I invested in my craft, I should be playing in church for free?' Who is this one really? Are you to serve the Lord with something that doesn't cost you at all? Some left their families, sold their houses, forfeited career opportunities to serve Jesus but you have invested too much in music to do it for the Lord freely? Please, stop playing and enrol in foundation class. Funny people. _MEDITATION:_ *“Do you know I learnt to write just because of ministry? That's what passion for the Lord compels us to do. Those times will be here again, when we will learn skills just to waste them on the Lord like the woman with the alabaster box. Amen"* *#Adebowale_Ibukun_Tosin* *#Monday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Grace_For_Accomplishments* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_May* ❤ 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 *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 29/MAY/2022* *COMMISSIONED* _Key Bible Text:_ *“Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. And ye are witnesses of these things."* (Luke 24:45-48 (KJV) ) _Bible Insight:_ Did you ever feel that preaching the Gospel is only a pastor or an evangelist’s job? It is beautiful that God chooses to partner with each and every one of us who knows of Him as a savior. While we feel the need to evangelize, many often save it for those rare opportunities. However, it is important to recognize that we are on a mission wherever God has placed us and we need to look for opportunities and create them; not just wait. A change in perspective to know that your identity is first in Christ will drive you for His mission. Jesus operated in the power of the Holy Spirit all through his ministry; He gave us access to the same power through faith, that we could share in His mission. In John 13:15, this is indicative that Jesus set an example for us to follow Him in His mission before commissioning us to do the same. *Our God is a missionary God, He always sends and restores. The Holy Spirit is a Missionary Spirit, empowering us to fulfill our calling, and Jesus was a missionary in action, He first set an example for everything He eventually commanded us to do as well.* _MEDITATION:_ *“Someone asked Will the heathen who have never heard the Gospel be saved? It is more a question with me whether we (who have the Gospel and fail to give it to those who have not) can be saved."* — Charles Spurgeon *#Favour_David_Okwelum* *#Sunday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Grace_For_Accomplishments* *#Hello_May* ❤ 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 *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 28/MAY/2022* *Be Revived* _Key Bible Text:_ *“I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked"* (Revelation 3:15-17 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Revival is to bring back to a previous condition from a state of complacency, passiveness, and lukewarmness. While restoration is a necessary part of revival, there is more to being revived than just being restored from a state of emptiness and brokenness. Revival is renewal, restoration and rekindling of the love and power of God in our lives. Recognizing our freedom in Jesus and our access to supernatural help, Counsel, and power through the Holy Spirit is vital in being effective as His followers. This is the work of the Holy Spirit in us, however, this is preceded by our willingness and participation in the same. *Your desire and desperation to experience restoration is a necessity to experience it.* In Revelation 2:4, Jesus rebuked the church at Ephesus for having left its first love. It is very important to *continuously revive our love for God and our passion for His mission.* This can happen only by exposing ourselves to the knowledge and revelation of His love for us. We love God because He first loved us, and His love for us since the beginning of time is beyond human comprehension. _MEDITATION:_ *“Before trying to fix fading areas that need attention, by yourself, expose yourself to the awesomeness of God and His love for you, it is the most powerful means to being revived!"* *#Favour_David_Okwelum* *#Saturday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Grace_For_Accomplishments* *#Hello_May* ❤ 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 *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.
