*DAILY DEW 31ST/MAY/2021* *MY PRAYER FOR NIGERIA* (I) _Key Bible Text:_ *For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until the righteousness thereof go forth as brightness, and the salvation thereof as a lamp that burneth.* (Isaiah 62:1 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Lord, suffer the hands of those who beat the drums of war in Nigeria to fail in their attempts. 🙇🏽‍♂️ Those who refuse to let Nigeria prosper in peace, progress and unity, give them restlessness and send their peace on exile; cause them to have in abundance that evil which they wish the innocent. Those who insist that they will make Nigeria remain as it is, so they can remain in power, Lord, disappoint them and disarm them! Those who have taken it upon themselves, to use their privileged positions to suppress the rest, Lord deal with them with their own strategy; let them reap what they sow! Those who trample upon the rights of others while holding rigidly to their own rights, Lord humble them suddenly and "change it for them" unless they repent. Those who refuse to let peace reign in Nigeria, but they send their children/family out of the country, Father show them that you're the God of Justice and cause them to know sudden calamity unless they repent. Those leaders who take advantage of the poor, and send them to do their dirty errands, but refuse to better the economy & education so that the helpless will remain helpless, Lord expose them and shame them, unless they repent! All these I ask, in Jesus name. Amen.

*DAILY DEW 30TH/MAY/2021* *FRUITS BEFORE GIFTS* _Key Bible Text:_ *Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.* (Matthew 7:22-23 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ As powerful and as needful as the gifts of the Holy Spirit are, we must understand that they must not be used as an excuse for the manifestation of fruits of the Spirit. To walk in the fruits of the Spirit is arguably more important in terms of how they help one align with the fullness of salvation. The place of gifts cannot be overemphasized with respect of service in the body of Christ. Let's say Brother Emmanuel is a believer who is equipped with the gifts of Tongues and Healing, for instance, but hardly controls his anger and is short on patience. He will most likely still be very influential in the local assembly because of His healing gifts especially. On the other hand, Sister Grace, a believer who is fully practiced and established in the nine fruits of the Spirit, without any gifts, may be quite respected but not as influential as Brother Emmanuel who has two gifts. Here is the problem, neither of these two believers are fully matured in Christ. In Christ, there is both fruits and gifts fully at work. Hence, the goal is to strive to walk in the fruits of the Spirit even as we continue to seek the empowerment of the Holy Spirit that comes by the manifestation of the gifts. Whereas the fruits are compulsory for every believer and actually a sign of genuine salvation in Christ, the Gifts are distributed only at the discretion of the Holy Spirit and based on the hunger and thirst of individual believers. MEDITATION: *But the Spirit produces love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, humility, and self-control. There is no law against such things as these.* (Galatians 5:22-23) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Sunday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Wonders_of_Grace* *#Hello_May* ❤ *NEWS FLASH:* 🥳🥳 Links To Visit: *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional/episodes/TROUBLED-elli7h *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/05/fruits-before-gifts.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 29TH/MAY/2021* *WHY YOU NEED TO SHARE YOUR GRIEF WITH OTHERS* _Key Bible Text:_ *Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.* (Galatians 6:2 (NIV)) _Bible Insight:_ When facing trials, your emotional health needs to be a top priority. Feelings are neither good nor bad—they’re just emotions. But they need to be expressed appropriately to God and to a trusted friend. The Bible says, “Carry each other's burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ” (Galatians 6:2 NIV). You don't have to share your feelings with everybody, but you do need to have one person you can confide in. Someone you can go to and say, "Hey, can I just tell you how I'm really feeling right now?" This is someone who will listen, share in your pain and frustration, and then help you move forward. Paul gives a great example of sharing feelings instead of stuffing them in. He writes, *“My friends, I want you to know what a hard time we had in Asia. Our sufferings were so horrible and so unbearable that death seemed certain”* (2 Corinthians 1:8 CEV). If Paul, the greatest Christian who ever lived other than Jesus Christ himself, could be gut-level honest about what he was going through, then we can, too. MEDITATION: *If you think there’s no one who needs you to be this kind of friend to them, ask God to help you become more aware of other people’s struggles.* *#Blessing_Nwoke* *#Saturday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Wonders_of_Grace* *#Hello_May* ❤ *NEWS FLASH:* 🥳🥳 Links To Visit: *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional/episodes/TROUBLED-elli7h *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/05/why-you-need-to-share-your-grief-with.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 28TH/MAY/ 2021* *PEOPLE NEED GRACE NOW MORE THAN EVER* _Key Bible Text:_ *"But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: “God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.”* (James 4:6 (NIV)) _Bible Insight:_ To make it through crisis seasons or social unrest, you need to treat yourself and other people the way God treats you: with grace, mercy, and forgiveness. Grace means that God always gives you what you need, not what you deserve. If you got what you deserved, you wouldn't even be here. “God gives us even more grace, as the Scripture says, ‘God is against the proud, but he gives grace to the humble’” (James 4:6 NCV). God opposes the prideful and arrogant because they think they can do it all by themselves, apart from God. They don't think they need God or his grace. They approach life—even life in turmoil—with the mindset, “If it's to be, it's up to me.” But when you’re humble and admit that you can’t make it through difficult situations on your own, God opens the floodgates of heaven. He pours out his grace. And he expects those who have been shown amazing grace to then show that grace to others. Everyone has gone through tough times. To maintain your emotional health, you need to cut yourself some slack and do the same for others. People are feeling stressed, particularly the millions who are out of work and concerned about the future—maybe even about how they will make it to the next day. Be kind and gentle. Even the hardest people to love are fighting some kind of battle right now and need your grace. This will often take a lot of humility. When tensions are high, it’s easier to return wrong for wrong, give a sharp answer, withhold the benefit of the doubt, and speak before listening. Your neighbor needs your grace. Your children need your grace. The person you disagree with politically needs your grace. The world is on the defense, and there is nothing that will disarm people more than being given unexpected grace. MEDITATION: God has given you great grace. Go and extend that grace to others so they get a glimpse of what Jesus has done for them. *#Blessing_Nwoke* *#Friday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Wonders_of_Grace* *#Hello_May* ❤ *NEWS FLASH:* 🥳🥳 Links To Visit: *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional/episodes/TROUBLED-elli7h *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/05/people-need-grace-now-more-than-ever.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 27TH/MAY/2021* *POWER FOR SHOW OR FOR SERVICE?* _Key Bible Text:_ *The Spirit's presence is shown in some way in each person for the good of all.* (1 Corinthians 12:7 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ This is probably the most singular reason revival tarries and power demonstration is on the decline. A lot of people today wants power to kill their neighbour or colleague who is making life difficult for them. A lot more want power as a sign that they have finally arrived. So they can now prove that they are anointed senior men of God. Well, power responds to those who are ready for service & for the good of all. A heart of service is one of the key factors God looks out for in order to release His power in the life of a man. Service is the altar of sacrifice and selflessness. A lot of people want power so they can outshine their pastor or mentors. God is not committed to a desire that is not right before Him. God sees through our tears to the content and context of our inner desires and heart disposition. Some seek power in the spirit of competition rather than compassion. Some seek power in the spirit of religion rather than relationship. Other seek power to rise through their church's or ministry's organizational hierarchy rather than to raise the glory of God and to bring men back to God. The Holy Spirit sees through our heart. When the motive for seeking power is wrong, He is likely to overlook until a correction is made. Some people are asking God to give them power but they can't carry their bibles to seek for places where the Gospel have not reached in order to preach the Gospel. Others are looking for members of another church to covet and convert, and they think God will give them power to show that they have arrived and that theirs is the reigning place. God is not moved by such showmanship. MEDITATION: *Power answers to those whose primary goal is to serve God more and to enforce the will of God on earth as it is in heaven.* *#David Joshua Egbochuo* *#Thursday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Wonders_of_Grace* *#Hello_May* ❤ *NEWS FLASH:* 🥳🥳 Links To Visit: *Podcast:* https://anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional/episodes/TROUBLED-elli7h *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* http://dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/05/power-for-show-or-for-service.html *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
