*DAILY DEW 9/MARCH/2023* *The Tragedy of Knowledge Without Application* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *"If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up."* (Daniel 3:17-18 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ The world will try to bend you into its mold. It will try to change you to suit its demands. The world will never spare you or let you be different from the rest of the world. The moment you desire to stand out for God, the world will rally around to make you become like "them". "If you can't beat them, join them" is the mantra of the world. The world pushes its narrative and ways of doing things by winning the majority over. "Majority carries the vote" is the goal. The world is designed to deceive the majority so that by following the majority you have a false sense of doing what is right. The standard of what is right or wrong as far as this world is concerned, is fast being determined by whatever the majority considers right. Do not let the world lure you away from the unpopular truth by the popular facts that are brandished as truth and norms and what is generally acceptable. There should be no surprises about this phenomenon. The world is only following its grand master and ultimate king. 1 John 5:19 says *"We know ...that the world around us is under the control of the evil one."* (NLT) The World does not follow the plan of God on its own. Only believers who embrace God's word and defy the world's ways that can uphold and instil the standards of God. Aside this, the world is bound on a downward course away from God and towards the devil's destructive fate. As a result, God's people must be so convinced and fully resolute to stand by the truth of God's word. We will never have God's way prevail on this earth unless we defy the world's ways. The world's ways will flow as a matter of course, but God's ways will only stand as a matter of force of conviction and sacrifice of convenience. _MEDITATION:_ *"Until and except your mind is made up for God and His word to do His biddings, the world will influence and lure you away from the light of God's truth! Shun the darkness of this hour by complete embrace & obedience to the truth of God."* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MARCH,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.
