*DAILY DEW 18/APRIL/2022* *Be Vigilant* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh"* (Matthew 25:13) _Bible Insight:_ Matthew 25:1 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. 25:2 And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 25:3 They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: 25:4 But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 25:5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. Matthew 25:6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. 25:7 Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. 25:10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. 25:11 Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. 25:12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. _MEDITATION:_ *"Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord."* -- 1 Corinthians 15: 58 *#Micheal_Emmanuel* *#Monday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Showers_of_Blessings* *#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 17/APRIL/2022* *Harsh Ordinances* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven."* (Matthew 5:20) _Bible Insight:_ The teaching of Jesus in Matthew 5, 6 & 7 is arguably the greatest of all his teachings. So much that it is recorded in the last verse of Matthew 7:28 & 29 that the people marveled because He spoke as one with authority and not as the scribes. It's no gain say that these teachings hold ordinances that are not so easy to abide by as they are selfless and far from self seeking. Matthew 5:39 -45 says, *"But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."* Interestingly Jesus was not found wanting in all the ordinances as His very life was a reflection of his teachings and more. In this time and season when everyone has become a teacher on social media take time to meditate on Matthew 5,6 & 7. _MEDITATION:_ *"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."* -- Matthew 5:48 *#Micheal_Emmanuel* *#Sunday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Showers_of_Blessings* *#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 16/APRIL/2022* *Judas Cash-out? (Snippet on prophecies)* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation."* (2 Peter 1:20 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ When we read about the events that surround the birth of Christ, we are often tempted to believe that every occurrence were orchestrated in the Spirit and those at the time were acting by default. And this claims have quite some passages that can back them up such as Matthew 1:23-- "Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us." Likewise, Matthew 2:5,6, 16-- "And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet, And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel. Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men. Reading 2:17,18 further it says *"Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying, In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not. Finally, 2:23 says "And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene." There are several of these passages but let's build on this few; God is omnipresent, omnipotent etc..He does not live in time. He had seen in the future that a virgin would conceive the saviour, that Herod would kill the children under the ages of two and that one of the saviour's disciples would betray him...therefore he revealed those to the prophets of old..The later characters of this roles; Mary, Herod, Judas etc all acted on their own accords. Even when Jesus told Peter that he would deny him thrice before cockcrow it Was because Jesus had by Spirit seen how that Peter would deny him and not that Peter denied him to fulfil what Jesus said. Therefore Judas allowed greed and discontentment to rule him. _MEDITATION:_ *"Know ye not, that to whom ye yield yourselves servants to obey, his servants ye are to whom ye obey; whether of sin unto death, or of obedience unto righteousness?"* -- Romans 6:16 *#Micheal_Emmanuel* *#Saturday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Showers_of_Blessings* *#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 17TH/MARCH/2022* *Nature of Christ* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also"* (Matthew 5:38 - 39(KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ 5:40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. 5:41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. 5:42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 5:43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; 5:45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. 5:46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same? 5:47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so? _MEDITATION:_ *"Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect."* (Matthew 5:48(KJV)) *#Micheal_Emmanuel* *#Thursday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Resounding_Testimonies* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_March* ❤ 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.
