*DAILY DEW 4/JUNE/2022* *PEOPLE & UNITY* _Key Bible Text:_ *“For it hath been declared unto me of you, my brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that there are contentions among you. Now this I say, that every one of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; and I of Christ. Is Christ divided? was Paul crucified for you? or were ye baptized in the name of Paul?"* (1 Corinthians 1:11-13 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ When our older daughter was a child in grade school, one day she came storming into the house, slammed the door, stomped into her room, slammed that door, all the while muttering under her breath, “People— people!—PEOPLE!” Thinking I might be of some help, I tapped on the door and asked, “May I come in?” The answer was an explosive “No!” “Why?” I asked. “Because you’re a people!” Even children have their problems with people. One thing’s for sure: believers who try to serve the Lord can expect to have problems with people—and maybe people will have problems with them! Moses had problems with people, so much so that one day he asked God to take his life because he’d had enough (Numbers 11). Sometimes the people you help the most appreciate it the least. Jesus healed ten lepers, and only one of them—a foreigner—came back to thank Him (Luke 17:11–19). When Paul was a prisoner in Rome, some of the Roman Christians, instead of encouraging the apostle, tried to make things more difficult for him (Phil. 1:12–21). Paul took the loving approach and thanked God that at least they were preaching the gospel. Ambrose Bierce wrote, “There are two classes of people: the righteous and the unrighteous. The classifying is done by the righteous.” His satirical pen makes a significant point: sometimes we create problems with people because we adopt a “we/they” attitude. Everybody in the church (or Bible class or choir or youth group) is either for us or against us. _MEDITATION:_ *“Most people think of a heretic only as somebody who teaches false doctrine. But the word translated “heresy” in the New Testament comes from a Greek word that means “to choose.” It describes an office seeker campaigning for votes and asking everybody, “Are you for me or against me?” There’s a willfulness about this attitude that often causes bad feelings and might produce division. If we take the “we/they” approach, we may become heretics; and instead of solving the problem, we will only make it worse."* *#Warren_W._Wiersbe* *#Saturday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Year_of_Big_Favours* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_June* ❤ (Culled from _On Being A Servant of God_ ) 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.
