*DAILY DEW 10/MARCH/2023* *The Tragedy of Knowledge Without Application* (IV) _Key Bible Text:_ *"Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego... And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace."* (Daniel 3:19-20 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Indomie and spaghetti Christianity is that type that despises difficulties and suffering for the sake of faith in God. Many claim to believe in Jesus, but will never fancy that kind of life Jesus lived-- one of suffering for what he did not do, all because He was bound to please His heavenly Father. Stomach infrastructure Christianity is that type that lacks the spine and conviction to say "NO" to that which will not please God, for fear of falling out of favour with men or losing their earthly privileges, or earthly friendships/connections. Indeed the fear of men is a snare. *"The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe."* (Proverbs 29:25 (KJV)) Spineless Christianity and boldless Christianity does more harm than good. The world is NOT meant to embrace that believer who shuns her worldliness and ungodliness. That charmeleon Christianity that tries to play it safe, with one leg in the Lord and the other in the world, is nothing but a town hall different from bala blue, that is to say, nonsense gibberish. *"If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you."* John 15:18 (KJV) My friend, if the world is not hating you, then you are not behaving like Jesus, whom the world hated. The world will surely hate on those who rejects her ways and shun her standards. John 15:19 (KJV) says *"If ye were of the world, the world would love his own: but because ye are not of the world, but I have chosen you out of the world, therefore the world hateth you."* Are you seeking the praise and friendship of this world? Then you are not serious to walk with God. Let those who will follow Jesus in carrying their cross daily, brace up for the persecution that will be the evidence of those who will lead a godly life in this generation. There is no other way. There is no middle ground. It is the tragedy of this age, that the church seeks to be a side chick of the world while at the same time married to Jesus. _MEDITATION:_ *"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution. But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them"* (2 Timothy 3:12-14 (KJV)) *#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.
