And she went forth, and said unto her mother, What shall I ask? And she said, The head of John the Baptist."* (Mark 6: 23- 24) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 6:23-24, King Herod's promise to grant Salome's wish, up to half his kingdom, reveals the dangers of making rash vows. Salome's request for John the Baptist's head, prompted by her mother Herodias, showcases the destructive power of unchecked sin and vengeance. Herodias's grudge against John stemmed from his condemnation of her unlawful marriage to Herod, demonstrating the risks of speaking truth to power and the high stakes of standing up for righteousness.

Herodias valued John's death over potential kingdom benefits, illustrating how sin can distort values and lead to destructive choices.

Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city."* (Mark 6: 11) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 6:11, Jesus instructs the disciples on how to respond when they are rejected while sharing the message of the kingdom. He tells them to shake off the dust under their feet as a testimony against those who refuse to receive them. This act symbolizes a clean break and a witness to the people's rejection of the message. Jesus' words also emphasize the accountability that comes with responding to the message of the kingdom. He warns that it will be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment than for the city that rejects the Gospel. This highlights the seriousness of rejecting God's messengers and the message they bring. Prioritize the message of the kingdom and be NOT discouraged by rejection. Instead, move forward, trusting that God's message will find receptive hearts. The act of shaking off the dust serves as a reminder of our responsibility to share the message while leaving the outcome to God. In conclusion, Jesus' instruction to shake off the dust underscores the importance of responding obediently to God's call, even in the face of rejection.

*DAILY DEW 30/JULY/2025* *Spirit- Powered Evangelism* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And he called [unto him] the twelve, and began to send them forth by two and two; and gave them power over unclean spirits; And commanded them that they should take nothing for [their] journey, save a staff only; no scrip, no bread, no money in [their] purse."* (Mark 6: 7-8) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 6:7-8, Jesus sends out the twelve disciples in pairs, giving them power over unclean spirits and instructing them to rely on God's provision. This passage highlights the importance of Spirit-powered ministry, where believers are empowered to serve and evangelize through the Holy Spirit's guidance and strength. The instructions to take nothing for their journey except a staff emphasize the disciples' dependence on God's provision. This teaches us that effective evangelism and ministry often require us to step out in faith, trusting God to supply our needs as we serve others. The disciples' mission demonstrates the effectiveness of Spirit-powered evangelism. As they went out, they were not relying on their own abilities or resources but on the power of the Holy Spirit. This approach to ministry allows God to work mightily through His people, bringing transformation and salvation to those they encounter. Believers are to trust in God's power and provision as they engage in evangelism and ministry. By relying on the Holy Spirit's guidance and strength, we can effectively serve others and share the message of Jesus Christ. _MEDITATION_ *"When the Holy Spirit is fully relied upon, evangelism becomes a walk-over."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_August,2025* ❤ *Facebook Link:* https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZXrcgLmwm/ Please follow *David Joshua Egbochuo* on Facebook for more positive impact contents.

*DAILY DEW 29/JULY/2025* *The Anointing and Faith* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed [them]. And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching."* (Mark 6: 5-6) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 6:5-6, Jesus' ability to perform mighty works is hindered by the people's unbelief in His hometown. This passage highlights the importance of faith in receiving God's blessings and miracles. When we believe in God's power and promises, we open ourselves to experiencing His mighty works. The anointing of God is available to all believers, but its manifestation is often tied to our level of faith. Jesus' marveling at the people's unbelief underscores the significance of faith in releasing God's power. As believers, we must cultivate faith that trusts in God's ability to work mightily in our lives. Despite the lack of faith, Jesus continues to go "round about the villages, teaching." This demonstrates His commitment to sharing God's message and ministering to those in need. As followers of Christ, we are called to similarly prioritize teaching, ministering, and trusting in God's power. This passage encourages us to examine our own faith and its impact on our experience of God's power. By believing in the anointing and God's promises, we can unlock the full potential of His mighty works in our lives. _MEDITATION_ *"It is commonly said that the anointing you don't believe, will not work for you.

*DAILY DEW 28/JULY/2025* *The Danger of Overfamiliarity* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house."* (Mark 6: 3-4) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 6:3-4, Jesus' hometown folks struggle to recognize His divine authority due to their familiarity with His earthly family and background. They see Him as "the carpenter, the son of Mary," rather than the Messiah. This passage highlights how overfamiliarity can lead to a lack of reverence and recognition of God's work. The people's reaction to Jesus demonstrates how familiarity can breed contempt. They were "offended at him," failing to see beyond their everyday interactions with Him. This incident serves as a reminder to approach God's work with humility and openness, rather than letting familiarity cloud our perception. Jesus' response, "A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house," underscores the challenge of being recognized as a vessel of God's power in familiar settings. This principle applies to our own lives, reminding us to be mindful of the tendency to overlook God's work in our midst due to familiarity. This passage encourages us to cultivate a sense of awe and reverence for God's work, even when it occurs in familiar contexts. By recognizing the potential for overfamiliarity to blind us to the divine, we can approach God's work with greater humility and openness. _MEDITATION_ *"How often we celebrate God's work in other circles other than our own very circle.

This statement highlights Jesus' perspective on life and death, emphasizing His divine authority and power. To the mourners, the girl's condition seemed irreversible, but Jesus saw beyond the physical reality. Jesus' words demonstrate that He operates from a spiritual perspective, where death is not always the end but can be a transition. This perspective encourages believers to trust in God's power and promises, even when circumstances seem hopeless. Jesus' statement also foreshadows the girl's resurrection, showcasing His authority over life and death. This verse teaches us about the importance of faith that sees beyond physical appearances. Jesus' words to the mourners serve as a reminder to trust in God's power and sovereignty, even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.

*DAILY DEW 26/JULY/2025* *Protocol Faith vs Proactive Faith: Faith That Works* _Key Bible Text:_ *"As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe."* (Mark 5: 36) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 5:36, Jesus tells Jairus, the ruler of the synagogue, "Be not afraid, only believe" after hearing that his daughter has died. This verse highlights the importance of faith in the face of adversity. Jairus had come to Jesus seeking healing for his daughter, and despite the delay and bad news, Jesus encourages him to maintain his faith. The context of this verse allows us to compare the approaches of Jairus and the woman with the issue of blood. While Jairus represents a more traditional and possibly anxious approach, seeking Jesus' direct intervention, the woman exemplifies faith through action, touching Jesus' garment in faith. Jesus' response to both individuals underscores the value of faith, whether expressed through direct request or tangible action. Jesus' words to Jairus emphasize the essence of faith: trusting in God's power and promise despite circumstances. Faith is not about the absence of challenges but about trusting God's ability to work through them. This lesson applies universally, encouraging believers to hold onto faith in the face of uncertainty and adversity. This passage teaches us about the importance of maintaining faith, especially when faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges.

For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in [her] body that she was healed of that plague."* (Mark 5: 27-29) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 5:27-29, a woman with a 12-year-old issue of bleeding touches Jesus' garment, believing that this act will bring her healing. This passage showcases the woman's faith and determination. Despite being considered unclean due to her condition, she pushes through the crowd to reach Jesus, demonstrating her desperation and trust in His power. The woman's decision to touch Jesus' garment highlights the significance of physical touch in biblical narratives. Her touch serves as a tangible expression of her faith, and Jesus' power responds to her action. This story illustrates that faith can be expressed in various ways, including through physical gestures.

*DAILY DEW 24/JULY/2025* *Share Your Testimony* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And when he was come into the ship, he that had been possessed with the devil prayed him that he might be with him. Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee."* (Mark 5: 18-19) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 5:18-19, Jesus heals a man possessed by demons and sends him back to his community to share his testimony.
