*DAILY DEW 7/DECEMBER/2022* *When Your Church’s Missions Heartbeat Has Flatlined* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Wherefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus, and love unto all the saints, Cease not to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers; That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him"* (Ephesians 1:15-17 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ _Plead with God before You Plead with Them_ In our modern age, we easily turn to methods to fix a problem. We work hard at the trellis to fix the vine. But not Paul. He begins this letter to the Philippians on his knees, recognizing the health of the vine is God’s business. The letter starts with thankfulness to God for his grace so evidently at work in the church, which turns toward intercession. He asked God to impart discernment to their ever-increasing love in order to please him (Phil. 1:9–11). The plague of mission drift must first be addressed here, pleading with God to shape our minds so we might be sent on mission. God is the one who works in us to will and to work for his purpose (Phil. 2:13). Paul will plead with the ladies who’ve become contentious in chapter four, but not before pleading with God on their behalf. God alone holds the power to motivate us for the mission. _MEDITATION:_ *“The plague of mission drift must first be addressed here, pleading with God to shape our minds so we might be sent on mission.”* *#Greg_Handley* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Guest_Message* *#Hello_DECEMBER* ❤ Links To Visit: *Register4HTP2022:* https://bit.ly/HTP2022_ACTIVATED *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.
