*DAILY DEW 21/DECEMBER/2024* *Peter, the missionary* (5) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light."* (Matthew 17:1-2 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Proper discipleship is the backbone of a fruitful missionary lifestyle. Jesus understood this and perfected this example. He discipled Peter (Among others, of course) by bringing him closer. Jesus could have gone for this all important encounter without any of the disciples but then, in a sense, the purpose of the transfiguration experience would not have been completed. When you read other accounts of the transfiguration mountain experience, you will see where the cloud overshadowed them, Elijah and Moses taken away, and a heavenly voice declaring, "This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased" Therefore, it is safe to say, that the transfiguration mountain experience was not particularly for JESUS BUT FOR PETER and the two others so that they can be AUTHENTIC AND INTIMATE WITNESSES and missionaries. Thus, it leads us to state that the missionary must be a holder of intimate encounters and deeper relationship with the Master Missionary-- Jesus! _MEDITATION:_ *You must seek Jesus deeply and daily and stay sensitive to moments of divine and biblical encounters with God to be an effective missionary.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_DECEMBER,2024* ❤ *TO REGISTER FOR #HTP2024* https://bit.ly/REGISTER-4-HTP2024-OUTREACH *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
