*DAILY DEW 17/DECEMBER/2023* *Taking Over Nations* (IX) _Key Bible Text:_ *"But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing."* (James 1:4 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Another force that is required if we must take over nations, is the force of patience, perseverance and long suffering. There can be no lasting impact that will influence your world without these trio. Patience will teach you not to expect fast response when someone you are hoping to win over is proving difficult. Perseverance will teach you to keep forgiving and loving someone who needs your guidance but acts like you are a nobody. Longsuffering will keep you going, when all efforts seems wasted and all years of labour of love seem fruitless or slow in bringing results. In the end, Jesus understood that though he spent over three & half years doing good works, men would still chant "Crucify Him"; his own disciples will deny him at some point; he would still need to ask God to forgive them on the cross; and as if that was not enough, he would have to be appearing & dissapearing for extra 40 days just to be sure His disciples don't go back into the world as fishermen, instead of fishers of men. _MEDITATION:_ *Jesus would never have succeeded if he hadn't all three precious and now rare virtues-- patience, perseverance and longsuffering.* *#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.
