*DAILY DEW 08/APRIL/2022* *THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT PARENTING* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Didn't God create you to become like one person with your wife? And why did he do this? It was so you would have children, and then lead them to become God's people. Don't ever be unfaithful to your wife."* (Malachi 2:15 (CEV)) _Bible Insight:_ When it comes to domestic chores, train your male and female children to be able to function comfortably in every kind of domestic matters. Don't relegate the girls to the kitchen alone. Ensure your boys are familiar with doing the dishes as well as cooking and laundry. Likewise, let the girls be able to wash the car, and any other chore typically relegated to boys. Our children should go through the Bible while they are with us from Genesis to Revelation. Don't educate your children in home chores and academic studies while you leave them naive in spiritual matters. Take time to train them to be spiritually strong. Be their first and most trusted bible teacher before their sunday school teacher. Give them the best Education you can afford. Home schooling or proper help with home work should also be encouraged. Be involved in their studies. Be there to ensure they are guided and not left exposed to unnecessary and unwholesome knowledge. Ensure they have enough bible knowledge to counter teachings that are anti-bible or anti-Christ. Expose your children to the word of God as well as to fellowship or church life. Let them attend bible studies, prayer meetings and evangelism with you. Teach your children money management at an early stage. Rather than pretend they don't know or not ready to know the value of money, teach them the value of money. Teach them to save their pockets money and gifts. Teach them that not every kobo that enters their hands must be used to buy something. Get a small savings box for them or open an account for them, or both. Teach them financial literacy. Your marriage should be the first 24hours practical marriage seminar session they should know and learn from. Create a home they would always love to grow up and replicate and improve upon. _MEDITATION:_ *"God intended the family to be a center that would raise Godly children in the world.

*DAILY DEW 07/APRIL/2022* *THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT PARENTING* (I) _Key Bible Text:_ *"I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children walking in truth, as we have received a commandment from the Father."* (2 John 1:4 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The training of the children is a kingdom priority. God is more interested in how children are raised than we could imagine. Definitely, the level of attention given to children upbringing, going by the much decadence and loss of values prevalent today is a testament of poor parenting in this last days. God would rather we cater for children in terms of teaching them right, than giving them everything they ask for. We have replaced providing the demands of children with proper nurturing of children. This nurturing begins from the womb. And it is definitely not the sole business of the mother. Both parents, especially the Father, must start laying hands on the children from the womb. This must be done deliberately and consistently. The baby right from the womb must be familiar with the parents' praying and prophetic voices. Start to prophecy to your children not only when they are still in the womb but after they have been born as well. Prophecy more than you complain and chide. As you prophecy ensure you are living a exemplary and practical life, aligned with the Word of God. Set a good example before your children. Don't ask of them what you can't or do not do yourself. Reading parents for instance, will definitely produce reading children. Lovely, mutually respectful and caring parents, will naturally produce lovely and emotionally intelligent children. Love your wife as the gift to your children. Love your husband as the gift to your children. It is sheer ignorance and hypocrisy to claim to love your children, while hating, abusing and disrespecting your spouse. _MEDITATION:_ *"And did not God make [you and your wife] one [flesh]? Did not One make you and preserve your spirit alive? And why [did God make you two] one? Because He sought a godly offspring [from your union]. Therefore take heed to yourselves, and let no one deal treacherously and be faithless to the wife of his youth."* -- Malachi 2:15 (Amplified Bible) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Thursday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Hello_April* ❤ (Culled from Young Ministers Fire Camp Meeting, March, 2022) 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 6TH/APRIL/2022* *Be PURPOSE-DRIVEN* (The End) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Don't worry and ask yourselves, "Will we have anything to eat? Will we have anything to drink? Will we have any clothes to wear?" Only people who don't know God are always worrying about such things. Your Father in heaven knows that you need all of these. But more than anything else, put God's work first and do what he wants. Then the other things will be yours as well."* (Matthew 6:31-33 (CEV)) _Bible Insight:_ Jesus switched from talking about physical food to spiritual food. This is the second time He made such a switch of words. The Samaritan woman wanted physical water, but Jesus redirected her to her real need – living water, eternal life. The disciples talked about food, Jesus redirected them to that which is more important - spiritual food – doing God’s will. The disciples focused on the physical. Jesus wanted them to know the importance of that which is spiritual. We are to be concerned with the will of God. We are to be concerned with the salvation of the lost. Can we see the PASSION of Jesus’ heart? Can you feel the passion of His heart today? Are we talking only about the physical? Are we praying only for physical needs? Are we preoccupied only by the physical – the affairs of this life? We are to be PASSIONATE not just because this is God’s will for us. Jesus explains further, saying to His disciples, in verse 35: “Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.” _MEDITATION:_ *"We are to be PASSIONATE because time is running out. It’s the right time to reap now! Let us develop a PASSION for the work of God. Don’t wait. Do it now. You may not get another chance."* *#Christian_Cheong* *#Wednesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_April* ❤ 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 5TH/APRIL/2022* *Be PURPOSE-DRIVEN* (IV) _Key Bible Text:_ *"For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."* (2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Learn from Jesus – He knows clearly the Father’s will – (1) PRAY AND SEEK WISE COUNSEL FROM ABOVE. Discuss with your spouse, family members – get advice, know what you need to do at this stage of your life. (2) PLAN AND PRIORITIZE. You need to plan. Jesus did not choose to go with His disciples. He got a quiet place and a one-on-one conversation with the woman. He started talking about water, because that’s what the woman was out to get. And Jesus gave her the “living water”. Prioritize and you will be able to DO and FINISH the works God has entrusted you. Lastly… 3. Live Your Life With A Godly PASSION The disciples urged Jesus, “Rabbi, eat something.” (4:31) Jesus said, “I have food to eat that you know nothing about.” When he sat down at the well, he was weary, and needed refreshment; but this opportunity of saving souls made him forgets his weariness and hunger. He ought to be thinking about food. The disciples have to urge him to eat. _MEDITATION:_ *"The disciples were interested in food. They went into the village to get food. They came back with it. The Lord was consumed with love for lost souls. He was interested in saving men and women from sin, and giving them the water of everlasting life."* *#Christian_Cheong* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_April* ❤ 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 4TH/APRIL/2022* *Be PURPOSE-DRIVEN* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest."* (John 4:34-35 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ God wants to work through you to bring love back into your home, to bring the good news of Jesus to your colleagues, to restore someone who is grieving or hurting, and give them divine hope and joy. Live your life with a divine purpose. Let God do His work through you. Matt 5 – Jesus says God expects us to be “the light of the world” and “salt of the earth”. Jesus shows us a second lesson: 2. Live Your Life With THE RIGHT PRIORITIES Speaking to His disciples after they return from buying food, Jesus says (John 4:34) “My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to finish His work.” Obviously Jesus is not saying He does not need to eat. He is thirsty and hungry at this time, that’s why the disciples went to the village to get food. Jesus wanted them to know that the real aim and purpose of His life was not to cater to the body, but rather to do the will of God. At this point of time, getting food is not the important thing. Meeting up with this woman is. Once He missed her, there might not be a second chance. Jesus has just done it – leading the Samaritan woman to faith in God and eternal life in Him. And not just for her. Jesus stayed two more days in that town so that more will have a chance to hear – He is to DO and FINISH God’s work. John 4:41 “And because of His words many more became believers.” The people say in verse 42, “now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Saviour of the world.” _MEDITATION:_ *"Jesus says the priority now is to DO God’s will and FINISH His work. Not just knowing, but doing. Many know but not doing."* *#Christian_Cheong* *#Monday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_April* ❤ (Culled from Young Ministers Fire Camp Meeting, March, 2022) 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.
