*DAILY DEW 12/DECEMBER/2023* *TAKING NATIONS FORCEFULLY* (IV) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh."* Jude 1:22-23 (KJV) _Bible Insight:_ To take nations forcefully, the meaning of nations must be understood. Every individual is a nation. In Genesis 15:23 God referred to Esau and Jacob as two nations while they were still in their mother's womb. There are also ethnic nations. A group of people bound by common languages, beliefs, customs, traditions and world views. For example, Yoruba nation, igbo nation, Hausa nation, etc There are state nations. Where a group of nations are bound together by a common country, or national constitution, and laws. A good example is Nigeria. So these are the basic types of nations. So when thinking of taking over nations forcefully, we must begin with the individual as the one that forms all the other kinds of nations. Remember that FORCE is not physical force, such as violent arrest or detention or forceful coercion. Force is in a spiritual dimension as already explained. The first way to take over nations, is to ensure that you as a nation is sold out to the kingdom of God. You can't take if you are not yet taken yourself. Only those who keep themselves in the love of God, Jude 21) can properly have compassion and save others. (Jude 22,23) _MEDITATION:_ *Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.* (Jude 1:21 (KJV)) *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_DECEMBER,2023* ❤ 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.
