*DAILY DEW 1/AUGUST/2023* *No Cross, No Gospel* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified"* (1 Corinthians 2:1-2)) _Bible Insight:_ Dead bodies are used to train surgeons. They cut them open from head to toe, to see where everything is; so that they can know how to operate on the living. If you don't go to the Cross where Christ died, where His body was broken, and His blood was shed; where He tasted death; there is no way the Holy Spirit can help you live, or minister to you the living Christ. -- Pastor Ebele UzoPeters If you must be truly of Christ, you must be totally surrendered to the cross. To learn the way of the cross is to truly understand the way of Christ. Paul the apostle even made us to understand that his priority is to totally learn Jesus and Him Crucified so that his preaching will not raise believers who have no conviction engineered by the power of God. That your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. (1 Corinthians 2:5) As a believer learn to dwell on the cross of Christ. Understand how central and primary the Cross remains to your life as a believer. You can't truly live out the realities of the divine life if you don't fully appreciate the divine death through the cross of Christ! For I delivered to you FIRST OF ALL that which I also received: THAT CHRIST DIED for our sins according to the Scriptures. (1 Corinthians 15:3) There can be no divine life without the divine death of the cross. _MEDITATION:_ *"Any minister of the word who shies away from the message of the Cross, is unfit to hold the scalpel blade of the Spirit, which is the word of God.-- EbeleUzoPetees* *#Ebele_UzoPeters* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,2023* ❤ *#Guest_Message* 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 Feel Free to Share with Friends.
