*DAILY DEW 11/SEPTEMBER/2023* *Eat Before Going* _Key Bible Text:_ *"When you meet together, one person has a song, and another has a teaching. Another has a new truth from God. Another speaks in a different language, and another person interprets that language. The purpose of all these things should be to help the church grow strong."* (1 Corinthians 14:26 New Century Version (NCV)) _Bible Insight:_ We were taught to eat before going to any party so that your eyes won't be on the food. So that you won't get angry when the food does not reach you on time, or at all. So that if the food comes, you are fine, and if it somehow misses you, you are fine. So that you can enjoy the event without distraction. It will be good if good food reaches you but you are not dependent on it. It is the delicious extra that comes on what you have already eaten. That is how church should be for every Christian. The beautiful extra. Your personal walk with God should be so healthy that whether the word hits you or goes over your head, whether the pastor preaches sense or nonsense, you will be fine. You can enjoy serving God without distraction. It would be good if there was a word for you every Sunday, but you are not dependent on it. It is the glorious icing on the cake of your vital relationship with God. 70% of what God is doing in your life should be in the secret place. 30% or less should be the public worship. When this is so, you will always overflow. You will never burn out. You will not have ups and downs. When others are angry and offended, your peace and joy will flow like a river. When they are falling into pride and sin, your righteousness will shine like the Son. _MEDITATION:_ *"Church is not a social gathering where you come to charge your spiritual phones. No it is a city lighting up the world - set on a hill that cannot be hidden, a chosen generation separated, a royal priesthood interceding, a peculiar people lifted, a holy nation worshipping; showing forth the praises of Him who called them out of darkness, into His marvelous light.-- That is the Church."* *#Ebele_UzoPeters* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_SEPTEMBER,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.
