*DAILY DEW 8/MAY/2023* *The Called Out Ones* _Key Bible Text:_ *"By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went."* (Hebrews 11:8 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Yes, we answered the call of God. But we need to keep examining God's word to understand the full scope of His calling. As called out ones, we are like Abraham, living comfortably in his fathers house and among his people, until one day God came to call him out. Likewise, we WERE living as the rest of the world, unsaved, unregenerated, without God, without light, without life, and without purpose, until one day, God called us out. The church is God's called out ones. We are called out, out of sinful standards, out of ungodly passions, out of unclean lifestyles, out of worldly pursuits and worldly fashion. We are not called to remain with the world's ways of doing things but to come out of them. *"Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you, And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."* (2 Corinthians 6:17-18 (KJV)) As we come out, we must have a new place in view. For Abraham, the scripture says *"For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God."* Hebrews 11:10 (KJV) This is actually what makes us God's people. We become dissatisfied and uncomfortable with this world. We become like brides, patiently but anxiously waiting for the groom. We are called out, and we are looking for God's city promised unto us. Hallelujah! When we show that we are called out of this world's standards, that we are truly dissatisfied here but looking for a better heavenly city, then and only then, is God proud to call us His own. And He is not ashamed to identify with us. _MEDITATION:_ *"But now they desire a better country, that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city."* Hebrews 11:16 (KJV) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_MAY,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.
