*DAILY DEW 17TH/OCTOBER/2021* *FIGHT* _Key Bible Text:_ *For the desires of the flesh are opposed to the [Holy] Spirit, and the [desires of the] Spirit are opposed to the flesh (godless human nature); for these are antagonistic to each other [continually withstanding and in conflict with each other], so that you are not free but are prevented from doing what you desire to do.* (Galatians 5:17 (AMP)) _Bible Insight:_ The toughest battles I have ever fought were battles between what I knew and what I felt. I see divine truth as stated in God's word, but sometimes my feelings say something else. I see God's word says that if I believe in Jesus who died for my sin and was raised for my justification, then I have salvation by faith, without works. But I don't always feel saved. I have to learn to ignore my feelings and focus on Jesus. I see God's high standard of walking in holiness and consecration, yet I find that sometimes I have to fight my feeling so it can conform to God's standard. I see God's word tells me of my permanent victory in Christ, of my greatness in Him, but I have to force my feelings to agree in the face of staggering oppositions. I see God's word tells me the gifts of the Spirit are mine, that the sick will be healed through my hands, but I have to bring my mind into subjection to it and insist until it complies to the truth of God's word. I think this is a fight I must keep fighting and keep winning as I walk on in my Christian faith. When the feeling of sickness attacks me, the feeling of sorrow, the feeling of pain, the sense of loss or lack, and all the challenges of this life, I have to insist on God's word, inspite of how I feel. God's word alone is truth. Anything contrary is a lie. I have come to realize that my circumstances and feelings will not always automatically agree with or reflect what God's word says, so I fight to ensure it aligns to God's word. I believe this is an honourable fight for the sons of God on earth. I think we will keep engaging in this fight until we put off this body of flesh. I believe this will be the basis of our eternal reward on that day. So dear believer, fight! *MEDITATION* *Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.* 1 Timothy 6:12 *#Sam_Chiaka* *#Sunday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Month_of_Goodnews* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_October* ❤ Links To Visit: *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/2021/10/fight.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 16TH/OCTOBER/2021* *PRAYER HABIT- THE MISSING LINK* _Key Bible Text:_ *And as a widow even for eighty-four years. She did not go out from the temple enclosure, but was worshiping night and day with fasting and prayer.* (Luke 2:37 (AMP)) _Bible Insight:_ Anybody who is interested in making a headway in spiritual matters must be given to prayer. There are no alternatives. There's no man who has ever amounted to anything worthwhile with God that wasn't a man of prayer and meditation on God's truth. All religions pray. The very fact that all religions take prayer as an integral part of their worship shows you that there's something about prayer that connects man to the supernatural. Yet we know that only in Christ do we have unhindered access to the fullness of God's power. Since you have access to God's inexhaustible wealth in Christ why not give yourself to prayer much more? If you withdraw yourself from speaking vainly and from gadding idly, from watching everything you see on TV, and from going after novelties and rumours, you will have enough time suitable for prayer and meditation on godly things. That favorite TV series that has taken all your evenings until you're too tired to pray at night why not give it up? The pleasure of sleep that keeps you on bed untill the time you have to hurry off to work and you're unable to pray every morning, when will you deal with it? Or perhaps it's your phone that keeps you away from prayer? Hear the Apostles: Acts 6:4 But we will give ourselves CONTINUALLY to prayer, and to the ministry of the word. Prayer must be a habit. He who intends to grow in the grace of Christ must learn to depart from the multitude and everything else frequently, just like Jesus. I said FREQUENTLY. We so love to talk a lot but silence is more helpful many times. We love the company of our friends but a withdrawal is better many times. We love pleasure so much, yet true pleasure is only experienced as the flesh is denied. Leave vain things to vain people sir. Shut your door behind you and commune with Jesus your beloved. Stay frequently with Him; you won't find a greater peace anywhere else. Give yourself to prayer and so you too can be a blessing to your world. It's a beautiful day today. Use it well. *MEDITATION* *And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers..* (Acts 2:42 (KJV)) *#Sam_Chiaka* *#Saturday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Month_of_Goodnews* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_October* ❤ Links To Visit: *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/2021/10/prayer-habit-missing-link.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 12TH/OCTOBER/2021* *WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE THE CHURCH THEY ATTEND* _Key Bible Text:_ *And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things. And by the hands of the apostles were many signs and wonders wrought among the people; and they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch.* (Acts 5:11-12 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *HERE ARE THE MANY REASONS WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE THE CHURCH THEY ATTEND: 1. The crowd the church pulls (everybody goes there) 2. Ambiance and comfortability of the church facility 3. The caliber of weekly attendees (for connection) 4. The charisma and personality of the pastor (I just like the pastor) 5. Family background (It's our family church) 6. The quality of their music (that church can sing) 7. Proximity (it's the one closest to my house) 8. Feel-good-only motivational preaching (I don't want any preaching that will 'stress' me) 9. The kind of programs they organize (talent hunts, singles valentine's picnic, suya and soya night, comedy and lots of fun, etc) BUT HERE ARE THE GOD-ORDAINED REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD MAKE A CHURCH YOUR HOME CHURCH: 1. Where I am challenged and trained to pray 2. Where I am taught and inspired to uphold the Word of God above everything else and live by it 3. Where I am guided on how to explain the gospel in clarity and win others to Christ 4. Where I am loved and practically taught to walk in love and serve others selflessly 5. Where I am challenged and shown how to walk in righteousness and in power 6. Where I can be accountable for my own spiritual growth Ask yourself today, why do you attend that church you attend? If it is any of the reasons in the first category, you are simply a Christian Club member, you don't have a church. *MEDITATION* *But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.* (1 Timothy 3:15 (KJV)) *#Sam_Chiaka* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Month_of_Goodnews* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_October* ❤ Links To Visit: *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/2021/10/why-people-choose-church-they-attend.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
