*DAILY DEW 29TH/JULY/2021* *SURRENDER WHAT YOU CAN'T CONTROL* _Key Bible Text:_ *You see, his faith and his actions worked together. His actions made his faith complete.* (James 2:22 (NLT)) _Bible Insight:_ To make it through times of crisis with your emotional health intact, you’ll need to learn how to control what's controllable and trust God for the rest. God is active in your mental, spiritual, and emotional health. He wants you to make wise choices based on his guidance from the Bible and through prayer. And then, when you encounter something out of your control, you can surrender it to God and trust him to work it out for good. There is a great example of this in the Bible with Abraham: "You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by what he did" (James 2:22 NIV). It's easy to go to extremes with this. For instance, you can say it’s all up to God and become passive to the point where you do nothing. On the other hand, you can act like God doesn't play a part in your life and assume everything depends on you. *Both extremes are wrong.* Maintaining good physical health, for example, is about balance. The same is true with emotional health. Find a balance that helps you recognize what’s in your control, and then make wise decisions based on God’s guidance as you read His Word and talk to him in prayer. And, learn to let go of those things that only God can handle. There are a lot of things in your life you can’t control. You can't control what happens during a pandemic or crisis, and how the government and other people handle it. *You can't control the circumstances of life, but you can choose how you will respond—and that will make all the difference.* God is always there to help you make that choice.

*DAILY DEW 28TH/JULY/2021* *REACH A POINT OF NO RETURN* (III) _Key Bible Text:_ *And then they abandoned their faith! It is impossible to bring them back to repent again, because they are again crucifying the Son of God and exposing him to public shame.* (Hebrews 6:6 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ After knowing or experiencing the following basic teachings:- 1) principles of the doctrine of Christ; 2) the foundation of repentance from dead works; 3) faith toward God; 4) the doctrine of baptisms; 5) laying on of hands; 6) resurrection of the dead; 7) eternal judgment. You actually move to the more deeper teachings, namely: 1) being enlightened in the things of God (i.e. receiving light in the ways of God); 2) tasted of the heavenly gift; 3) made partakers of the Holy Ghost; 4) tasted the good word of God; and 5) the powers of the world to come. These are depths that once a believer reaches ought to continue in its realities and practice. By so doing, falling away from the faith becomes impossible. It is only when a believer does not appreciate these aspects of the faith (i.e. both the fundamental and the deeper principles) that falling away becomes possible. Also a believer does not just simply attain these aspects but continuously grows in them and daily practices its implications and realities. Being enlightened in the word for instance, is not a one-of thing. We daily grow in the light of God's word. Likewise experiencing the powers of the age should come, shouldn't be one-of. There is no way a believer will key into these that he would ever find himself looking back or crucifying Christ again. *MEDITATION:* *And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.!* (2 Peter 1:5-8 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Wednesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Undeniable_lifting* *#Hello_July* ❤ Links To Visit: *Podcast:* anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional/episodes/TROUBLED-elli7h *FB Pages* www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/07/reach-point-of-no-return-iii.html *Telegram Group:* t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 27TH/JULY/2021* *REACH A POINT OF NO RETURN* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *They knew from experience that God's word is good, and they had felt the powers of the coming age.* (Hebrews 6:5 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ How do you get to know from experience that God's word is good? By holding on to it and seeing it come out as true and reliable. God's word when put to the test and it turns out to be true, is the best experience ever. I have tasted of the goodness of the word. I have held onto God's word, and it has not turned out to be anything but disappointing. That's the most exciting experience. It is not an experience to have and yet turn away from God. In the same vain, believer here in time have experienced the powers of the age to come. The age to come refers to the life hereafter. It is a wonderful thing experiencing that power of the life hereafter right here on earth. Imagine receiving the dead back to life? Or watching a deaf receive their hearing or a lame recover their walking? Indeed, several times, God shows us the power of the age to come. How do we get to see and know these and still turn away from the faith? Only those who have chronic doubt or are deceived by the devil will allow such. Indeed, it is almost impossible to have the light of God, have the gift of heaven, share partnership with the Holy Ghost, experience the goodness of God's word and the power of the coming age and still walk away from God. Instead, we press in... *MEDITATION:* *Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,!* (Philippians 3:13 (KJV)) *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Tuesday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Undeniable_lifting* *#Hello_July* ❤ Links To Visit: *Podcast:* anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional/episodes/TROUBLED-elli7h *FB Pages* www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/07/reach-point-of-no-return-ii.html *Telegram Group:* t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 26TH/JULY/2021* *REACH A POINT OF NO RETURN* _Key Bible Text:_ *For how can those who abandon their faith be brought back to repent again? They were once in God's light; they tasted heaven's gift and received their share of the Holy Spirit.* (Hebrews 6:4 (GNB)) _Bible Insight:_ There is a point of no return in Christ. It begins from the new birth (the born again experience) and progresses to the point of no return in the knowledge and profession of Jesus Christ. There is a point you get to in Christ, where you can't easily turn your back on Christ. If you ever turn your back on Christ after getting to that point, you will not be able to return to Christ again. Hebrews 6:1-2 explores the basics of the faith of Jesus Christ. However, it urges us to move to the deeper teachings and realities of the faith. These are teachings and realities that bring us to the point of no return in Christ, that is, we will not be able to turn our backs on Christ unless we are determined to crucify Christ afresh! And crucifying Christ afresh will mean, you were never truly saved to begin with. Let's look at the three areas mentioned, which shows depth in Christ:- *"They were once in God's light; they tasted heaven's gift and received their share of the Holy Spirit."* Hebrews 6:4 (CEB) *Because it's impossible to restore people to changed hearts and lives who turn away once they have seen the light, tasted the heavenly gift, become partners with the Holy Spirit,* The light of God shines to reveal and deflect darkness, the heavenly gift and partnership with the Holy Spirit refers to levels of depth in walking and dealing with the Holy Spirit. Anyone who wants to get to God's point of no return in Christ, must embrace light, heavenly gift and partnership with the Holy Spirit. These are levels that guarantees that we will not allow any atom of darkness to prevail over us neither shall we allow sin or anything else to draw us away from the faith- because we are led by the Holy Spirit who is in partnership with us. *MEDITATION:* *Matthew 6:23 (KJV) But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Monday_wisdomforliving* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Undeniable_lifting* *#Hello_July* ❤ Links To Visit: *Podcast:* anchor.fm/daily-dew-devotional/episodes/TROUBLED-elli7h *FB Pages* www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *DDDblog* dailydewdevotion.blogspot.com/2021/07/reach-point-of-no-return.html *Telegram Group:* t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 24TH/JULY/2021* *If God Permits* _Key Bible Text:_ *And this will we do, if God permit.* (Hebrews 6:3 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ Now listen to me, you that say, *Today or tomorrow we will travel to a certain city, where we will stay a year and go into business and make a lot of money.* You don't even know what your life tomorrow will be! You are like a puff of smoke, which appears for a moment and then disappears. What you should say is this: *If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.* But now you are proud, and you boast; all such boasting is wrong. So then, if we do not do the good we know we should do, we are guilty of sin. (James 4:13-17) *MEDITATION:* *We don't know what tomorrow holds but we know who holds tomorrow.
