*DAILY DEW 23/JULY/2025* *Souls Over Possessions* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And they that saw [it] told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and [also] concerning the swine. And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts."* (Mark 5: 16-17) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 5:16-17, the people who witnessed the miracle of the demon-possessed man being freed told others about what happened, including the destruction of the pigs. However, instead of being grateful for the man's healing, the crowd asked Jesus to leave their area. This reaction highlights the value they placed on material possessions (the pigs) over the value of a human soul. In this passage, Jesus' actions demonstrate that He values the soul of one individual over the loss of material possessions, in this case, the pigs. By freeing the demon-possessed man, Jesus showed that the worth of a human being redeemed is greater than the value of earthly possessions. The crowd's request for Jesus to leave reveals their priorities. They were more concerned about their economic loss (the pigs) than the spiritual gain of one of their own being set free from demonic possession. This incident serves as a lesson in prioritizing eternal values over temporal ones. In conclusion, the passage highlights Jesus' valuation of human souls over material possessions. While the crowd prioritized their economic interests, Jesus demonstrated that the salvation of one individual is of greater worth. This lesson encourages believers to reevaluate their priorities, focusing on eternal values rather than temporal ones. _MEDITATION_ *"God can allow material possessions to be destroyed, but he cares more about the salvation of a soul."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_July,2025* ❤ *Facebook Link:* https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZXrcgLmwm/ Please follow *David Joshua Egbochuo* on Facebook for more positive impact contents.

*DAILY DEW 22/JULY/2025* *Trusting God Even In the Storms* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?"* (Mark 4: 37-38) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:37-38, Jesus and his disciples encounter a great storm on the lake while crossing in a ship. The disciples, fearing for their lives, wake Jesus, who is sleeping, and ask if he cares that they perish. This passage highlights the contrast between Jesus' calm trust in God and the disciples' fear and doubt. Faith in the Midst of Turmoil The disciples' question, "Master, carest thou not that we perish?" reveals their lack of faith in Jesus' ability to care for them in the midst of the storm. This incident teaches the importance of trusting Jesus, even when circumstances seem overwhelming. Jesus' Power over Nature The passage sets the stage for Jesus' demonstration of power over nature, as he calms the storm. This miracle showcases Jesus' divine authority and ability to bring peace and safety to those who trust him. In conclusion, the story of the storm on the lake teaches the importance of trusting Jesus in the midst of life's challenges. It encourages believers to have faith in Jesus' power and care, even when circumstances seem impossible. By trusting Jesus, believers can experience peace and safety, knowing that he is in control. _MEDITATION_ *"Some storms come our way despite our obedience to God.

*DAILY DEW 21/JULY/2025* *The Parable of the Mustard Seed* _Key Bible Text:_ *"[It is] like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it."* (Mark 4: 31-32) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:31-32, Jesus teaches about the kingdom of God using the analogy of a mustard seed. He compares the kingdom to a small seed that, when sown, grows into a large plant, providing shelter for birds. This parable highlights the contrast between the kingdom's humble beginnings and its eventual grandeur. The mustard seed represents the small and seemingly insignificant start of Jesus' ministry, which would eventually grow into a vast and expansive kingdom. This parable encourages faith and hope, reminding believers that even the smallest beginnings can lead to remarkable outcomes through God's power. The growth of the mustard seed into a large plant symbolizes the kingdom's expansion and its impact on the world. The image of birds lodging in its branches suggests that the kingdom will provide refuge, shelter, and sustenance for many. This parable emphasizes the kingdom's universal scope and its invitation to all people. In conclusion, the parable of the mustard seed teaches that the kingdom of God, though starting small and seemingly insignificant, will grow and have a profound impact on the world. It encourages believers to trust in God's power and promises, recognizing that even the smallest beginnings can lead to extraordinary outcomes. _MEDITATION_ *"The Kingdom of God is God's greatest accomplishment on earth and hereafter.

*DAILY DEW 20/JULY/2025* *Trust The Divine Process* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *"For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come."* (Mark 4: 28-29) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:28-29, Jesus teaches about the kingdom of God using the analogy of a seed growing into a harvest. The passage describes the natural process of growth, from the blade to the ear and finally to the full corn in the ear. The parable highlights God's sovereignty in the growth and harvest of His kingdom. Just as the earth produces fruit naturally, God's kingdom grows through His divine power. The passage also emphasizes the importance of patience and trust, recognizing that God is at work in the growth process. The passage also notes that when the fruit is ripe, the harvest comes. This can be seen as a symbol of the culmination of God's work in the world. The image of putting in the sickle suggests a sense of urgency and finality, emphasizing that God's purposes will be fulfilled. In conclusion, the parable of the seed and harvest reminds believers to trust in God's sovereignty and timing, recognizing that His kingdom grows and advances through His divine power.

*DAILY DEW 19/JULY/2025* *Trust The Divine Process* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how."* (Mark 4: 26-27) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:26-27, Jesus teaches that the kingdom of God is like a seed that grows secretly, without the farmer's knowledge of how it happens. This parable highlights the mysterious and supernatural nature of God's kingdom. The passage emphasizes God's sovereignty in the growth of His kingdom. Just as a seed grows without human understanding, God's work in the world is often mysterious and beyond human comprehension. This parable encourages believers to trust in God's power and sovereignty, recognizing that He is at work even when we don't see immediate results. It promotes a posture of faith and patience, trusting that God is working behind the scenes. In conclusion, the parable of the seed growing secretly reminds believers to trust in God's sovereignty and power, recognizing that His kingdom grows and advances through His divine work, often in mysterious and unseen ways. _MEDITATION_ *"Cling unto God's words even in the mist of uncertainty or lack of clarity.

*DAILY DEW 18/JULY/2025* *How Do You Hear?* _Key Bible Text:_ *"If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. And he said unto them, Take heed what ye hear: with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you: and unto you that hear shall more be given. For he that hath, to him shall be given: and he that hath not, from him shall be taken even that which he hath."* (Mark 4: 23-25) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:23-25, Jesus emphasizes the importance of truly hearing and understanding God's word. He warns that the way we receive and respond to God's message will determine the amount of spiritual insight and understanding we receive. The passage highlights the principle that the measure we use to evaluate others will be the same measure used to evaluate us. This principle encourages believers to be discerning and wise in their spiritual journey, recognizing that their actions and attitudes towards God's word will have consequences. The phrase "For he that hath, to him shall be given" suggests that those who receive and apply God's word will receive more spiritual insight and understanding. Conversely, those who reject or neglect God's word will lose even the little understanding they have. This serves as a call to accountability and spiritual diligence. And this does not apply to only God's word. In conclusion, Jesus' teaching emphasizes the importance of being attentive and responsive to God's word. Believers are encouraged to cultivate a deep understanding of God's message and live out their faith with discernment and wisdom, recognizing that their spiritual growth and accountability are closely tied to their relationship with God's word. _MEDITATION_ *"As you hear and apply God's word, so you grow and become greater in life & eternity"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_July,2025* ❤ *Facebook Link:* https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZXrcgLmwm/ Please follow *David Joshua Egbochuo* on Facebook for more positive impact contents.

*DAILY DEW 17/JULY/2025* *The Parable of the Lamp* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And he said unto them, Is a candle brought to be put under a bushel, or under a bed? and not to be set on a candlestick? For there is nothing hid, which shall not be manifested; neither was any thing kept secret, but that it should come abroad."* (Mark 4: 21-22) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:21-22, Jesus teaches that a lamp is not meant to be hidden but rather placed on a stand to shine light. This parable emphasizes the importance of sharing God's word and truth with others, rather than keeping it hidden. The lamp represents the light of God's truth, and believers are called to let it shine for all to see. By sharing the Gospel and living out their faith, believers can bring light and hope to those around them. The passage also highlights that hidden truths will eventually be revealed.

This parable highlights the potential for spiritual growth and fruitfulness when the word is received with a good heart. The good ground represents individuals who not only hear the word but also receive it, allowing it to take root and produce fruit. This fruitful ground is characterized by a receptive heart, a willingness to obey, and a commitment to spiritual growth. The varying degrees of fruitfulness - thirtyfold, sixtyfold, and a hundredfold - suggest that believers can produce different levels of spiritual fruit, depending on their level of commitment, obedience, and surrender to God's word. This serves as an encouragement to believers to strive for greater fruitfulness in their walk with God.

*DAILY DEW 15/JULY/2025* *Staying Focused Inspite of Distractions* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And these are they which are sown among thorns; such as hear the word, And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful."* (Mark 4: 18-19) _Bible Insight_ In Mark 4:18-19, Jesus teaches about the third type of soil, representing those who hear the word but allow worldly cares, riches, and desires to choke out its fruitfulness. This parable highlights the challenges of living a life devoted to God amidst the distractions and allurements of the world. The thorns symbolize the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things. These worldly concerns and desires can gradually overshadow one's commitment to God, causing the word to become unfruitful. This serves as a warning to believers to prioritize their spiritual growth and relationship with God. The key lesson here is the importance of maintaining a clear focus on God and His word. Believers must be mindful of the distractions and temptations that can hinder their spiritual growth and ensure that their priorities align with their faith. By doing so, they can cultivate a fruitful and vibrant relationship with God. In conclusion, the parable of the sower emphasizes the need for believers to be vigilant and intentional about their spiritual walk. By recognizing the dangers of worldly distractions, believers can take steps to prioritize their relationship with God and bear fruit that honors Him. _MEDITATION:_ *"Sin is not the devil's most successful strategy.
