*DAILY DEW 24TH/NOVEMBER/2021* *ON FINDING PURPOSE* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.* (Matthew 4:18-20 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One danger with trying to find out your purpose or what exactly you should be doing is that, should you find out, you will try to make it happen yourself and in your own time. This does not mean you should not pray for leading or direction, but while you pray, unless and until God tells you otherwise, keep doing what you are doing. And do it well! All through scriptures, there is not one single person who spent his time seeking to find out what his life's purpose or calling should be. Usually, God was the person who came looking for them and telling them what they should do. We like to call it divine interruption. Sometimes, God would announce their lives' mission before they were even born. This doesn't in any way suggest that God must come to you in a spectacular way for it to be that you are in the center of God's will for you. As long as you are a child of God and are daily loving and walking with God, that's fine; that's all that matters. Whether God decides to send you to save the whole of Asia or He allows you to sing in the choir of your small church, that is okay. There were many soldiers who fought the many wars that Israel had to fight on their way to Canaan; though we do not know their names, and God did not come to them like He came to Moses and Joshua, would we say they did not live lives of purpose? Many of us do not know who Lapidot is. But Lapidot was the husband of Deborah, the great prophetess and judge of Israel. Though his name was mentioned once in the bible, yet I celebrate him as a man who understood his place and chose to live the life of obscurity that God elected for him. _MEDITATION:_ *The scripture says that there is time for everything and truly there is and it is God who knows the times of your life.

*DAILY DEW 23RD/NOVEMBER/2021* *FAITH FOR ALL SEASONS* _Key Bible Text:_ *I know what it is to be in need and what it is to have more than enough. I have learned this secret, so that anywhere, at any time, I am content, whether I am full or hungry, whether I have too much or too little.* (Philippians 4:12 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ What if Joseph did not save 20% of the supply of food of Egypt in those seven years of plenty? The whole world, not just Egypt, would have perished. When Joseph interpreted that dream to pharaoh, pharaoh’s cabinet members and palace staff were all there. They heard the meaning of the dream and the suggestion Joseph gave on how to prepare for the 7 years of famine. Yet, none of them applied that suggestion to their lives. They all ate like hoodlums during the seven years of plenty until famine landed. Life is in seasons. When your season of plenty comes, as much as you would want it to always be there, experience teaches us that it is not always there. What you do with the plenty in the season of plenty will determine your quality of life when the next season comes. Don’t spend all your income. Don’t suddenly change your wardrobe and car and apartment just because you got a bump in your salary or landed one contract. This is a simple truth that many find hard to live by. Save 20% of your income at the least. Problems no dey finish. Good things no dey finish too. Don’t live above your means. Don’t live to make a statement to those you believe thought you wouldn’t make it. Don’t make God seem unfaithful to you. That won’t be fair. _MEDITATION:_ *Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.* (James 2:18 (KJV)) *#Nkwocha_Tochukwu* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Supernatural_Supplies_Month* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_November* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/11/faith-for-all-seasons.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 22ND/NOVEMBER/2021* *ON FINDING PURPOSE* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Work hard at whatever you do, because there will be no action, no thought, no knowledge, no wisdom in the world of the dead---and that is where you are going.* (Ecclesiastes 9:10 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ David didn't know he was going to be the king of Israel until Samuel showed up and anointed him. Nobody drummed it into his ears to discover or find his purpose. He simply loved and lived for God, obeying and serving Jesse his father and polishing his skills - playing the harp and slinging. Today, we call these things skills but I don't think David saw them like that. He probably learnt how to sling stones as a way of protecting his sheep from the lions and the bears. He played the harp as a way of entertaining himself and his fellow shepherds while they were at the bush. He wasn't doing any of these for the palace cos he didn't know he would ever be there, but he did them well. He simply made the most of his situations. He didn't let the anticipation of what tomorrow could bring deny him the joy and glory of really living today. Yet, God had His eyes on him and when the right time came, He, God, began to move men and materials in his favor. So, I'll enjoin you to do your best today. Forget about tomorrow; the Lord Jesus said: today's trouble is sufficient for it. The best way to really prepare for the future is to live today well. #OneDayAtATime. _MEDITATION:_ *Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest.* (Ecclesiastes 9:10 (KJV)) *#Nkwocha_Tochukwu* *#Monday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Supernatural_Supplies_Month* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_November* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/11/on-finding-purpose-ii.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg *WhatsApp Group:* http://bit.ly/The_David_Generation Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 20TH/NOVEMBER/2021* *ON FINDING PURPOSE* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."* (Jeremiah 29:11 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One of my younger friends said she was having issues with discovering her purpose and this has lingered. And I said this to her: "Scripture says: whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might. It is important that you don't get fixated on finding one special thing or purpose for your life. God is working things out for you so you can trust him to orchestrate events that will move you to the expected end he has for you. He is the one that said: I know the plans I have for you, plans for good and not of evil, to bring you to an expected end. He is the one that will bring you to that end. So, I will need you to simply relax in His everlasting arms and trust that He is working things out for you. You simply have to do today's work very well. Bloom where you are currently planted. Be the best at the thing you are doing NOW." I find that many young people have been inundated with so much teaching about finding or discovering purpose that they end up marking time, wondering endlessly what their purpose is. Many do not do well in the course they are studying now in school because they have convinced themselves that that course may not be in line with their purpose. This is deception. I have someone doing her NYSC in my office now. She graduated with First Class Honours from Covenant University from the department of Microbiology. You know what? She is not interested in practicing Microbiology. She is into digital media and has a great YouTube Channel already with close to 10,000 subscribers. She did well in Microbiology even when she knew she wasn’t going to pursue a career in Microbiology. She simply bloomed where she was planted. She did with all her might what her hand found to do at the time. _MEDITATION:_ *The Lord's prayer says, 'give us this day our daily bread.' Our walk with God is a daily walk. Wake up each morning and ask Him to guide you. That's all that's important. Even if He shows you the entire nine yards, can you go the journey on your own?* *#Nkwocha_Tochukwu* *#Saturday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Supernatural_Supplies_Month* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#HTP2021_Loading* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_November* ❤ Links To Visit: Register for *HTP2021:* https://bit.ly/HTP2021_Registration *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/11/on-finding-purpose.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
