*DAILY DEW 3/JULY/2025* *The Unforgivable Sin?* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation."* (Mark 3: 28-29) _Bible Insight_ Jesus taught that while all sins and blasphemies can be forgiven, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is an exception (Mark 3:28-29). This warning emphasizes the gravity of rejecting God's work and attributing it to Satan. The Pharisees attributed Jesus' work to Beelzebub (Mark 3:22). Jesus' response highlights the danger of hardened unbelief and willful rejection of God's Spirit. _Key Lessons To Apply:_ - *Rejection of God's work*: Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit involves attributing God's work to Satan or rejecting God's Spirit. - *Hardened unbelief*: This sin is characterized by a stubborn refusal to acknowledge God's truth. - *Eternal consequences*: Those who commit this sin are in danger of eternal damnation. This passage encourages us to: - *Be sensitive to God's Spirit*: Recognize and respond to God's work in our lives. - *Avoid hardened unbelief*: Cultivate a humble and open heart to God's truth. - *Seek forgiveness and mercy*: For those who may have unknowingly committed this sin, seek God's forgiveness and mercy. _MEDITATION:_ *"It is unforgivable to consistently refuse, reject and deny the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts. This is the reason many die and enter into eternity without Christ. The consequences are irreversible."* *#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 2/JULY/2025* *BINDING THE STRONG MAN* _Key Bible Text:_ *"No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house."* (Mark 3: 27) _Bible Insight_ Jesus taught that to plunder a strong man's house, one must first bind the strong man (Mark 3:27). In this context, the strong man represents Satan, and the house represents the domain of darkness. This verse teaches us that: 1 - *Spiritual warfare precedes victory*: Before experiencing deliverance or salvation, the stronghold of Satan must be overcome. 2 - *Jesus' authority is key*: Jesus' power and authority are essential for binding the strong man and freeing captives. What power does an ordinary man have over the devil? _Application in Evangelism or Ministry:_ 1 - *Prayer and spiritual preparation*: Before engaging in evangelism or ministry, prayer and spiritual preparation are essential to overcome spiritual strongholds. Every day is a day you are stepping out into the enemy's territory. Being successful in life, business and career also requires you prepare and pray for victory. 2 - *Recognizing spiritual opposition*: Be aware of the enemy's attempts to hinder the spread of the gospel and the work of God. Every opposition in the physical is a manifestation of the spiritual aggression and opposition of the enemy. Don't be casual. 3- *Relying on Jesus' authority*: Trust in Jesus' power and authority to overcome spiritual opposition and bring people to salvation. Without being in tune and aligned with God, your advancement is never guaranteed. _Ministry Impact:_ This teaching encourages ministers and evangelists to: - *Pray for spiritual breakthroughs*: Seek God's power and guidance to overcome spiritual strongholds. - *Trust in Jesus' authority*: Rely on Jesus' power to bring people to salvation and deliverance. - *Be prepared for spiritual opposition*: Anticipate and overcome spiritual resistance through prayer and faith. _MEDITATION:_ *"Don't do life casually. Every advancement in life, ministry, career, family or business is a matter of engaging in spiritual warfare. Only those who have power with God stands a chance at true advancement in life."* *#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 1/JULY/2025* *The Pharisees' Accusation* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And the scribes which came down from Jerusalem said, He hath Beelzebub, and by the prince of the devils casteth he out devils. And he called them [unto him], and said unto them in parables, How can Satan cast out Satan?"* (Mark 3: 22-23) _Bible Insight_ The scribes from Jerusalem accused Jesus of being possessed by Beelzebub, the prince of demons, and claimed he cast out demons through Satan's power (Mark 3:22). This accusation was a direct attack on Jesus' authority and the work of God. Jesus responded with a parable, questioning how Satan could cast out Satan (Mark 3:23). He highlighted the absurdity of the accusation, pointing out that a kingdom divided against itself cannot stand. Jesus' response demonstrated his wisdom, authority, and insight into the spiritual realm. _Key Lessons to Apply:_ - *Not everyone will recognize God's work*: Some people may attribute God's work to evil or misunderstand its significance. Before you conclude that something is not of God, be sure you have done all necessary checks. - *Divided kingdoms fall*: Jesus' parable emphasizes the importance of unity and the destructive nature of division. Are you a unifier or a divider? - *Jesus' authority is supreme*: Jesus' response demonstrates his authority over the spiritual realm and his power to cast out demons. Do you recognize divine authority? - *Stay focused on God's work*: Like Jesus, we should prioritize serving God and spreading the gospel, even in the face of criticism or opposition. Stay put in the midst of the chaos or criticisms. - *Recognize the enemy's tactics*: Be aware of the enemy's attempts to divide and undermine God's work. Persevere and be focused. - *Trust in Jesus' authority*: Remember that Jesus has ultimate authority over all realms, including the spiritual. Once you know you are on God's side, bask in the reality of God's authority. _MEDITATION:_ *"Criticisms and opposition is sometimes a way to recognize a move that is of God and a big threat to the enemy."* *Happy New Month to you. May you overcome every opposition and criticism on your path in Jesus name. Amen.

*DAILY DEW 30/JUNE/2025* *THE DEMANDS OF MINISTRY* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And the multitude cometh together again, so that they could not so much as eat bread. And when his friends heard [of it], they went out to lay hold on him: for they said, He is beside himself."* (Mark 3: 20-21) _Bible Insight_ Jesus' ministry was so intense that he and his disciples couldn't even find time to eat (Mark 3:20). This highlights the overwhelming demands of serving others and spreading the gospel. Jesus' commitment to his mission was unwavering, and he prioritized helping others over his own physical needs. When Jesus' friends heard about his activities, they thought he was "beside himself" (Mark 3:21). This shows how easily people can misjudge and label others based on their actions or circumstances. Jesus' friends didn't understand his priorities or the source of his strength, leading them to question his sanity. _Key Lessons to Apply:_ - *Ministry can be demanding*: Serving others and spreading the gospel can be overwhelming, requiring sacrifice and dedication. - *Not everyone will understand*: People may misjudge or criticize us due to a lack of understanding or differing perspectives. - *Stay focused on your mission*: Like Jesus, we should prioritize our purpose and values, even when faced with criticism or misunderstanding. - *Prioritize your mission*: Stay focused on your goals and values, even when faced with challenges or criticism. - *Be understanding of others*: Recognize that people may not always understand your perspective or priorities. - *Seek support from like-minded individuals*: Surround yourself with people who share your values and can provide encouragement and support. _MEDITATION:_ *"The demands of ministry are sometimes underrated.

*DAILY DEW 29/JUNE/2025* *BEING WITH JESUS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth [unto him] whom he would: and they came unto him. And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might send them forth to preach."* (Mark 3: 13- 14) _Bible Insight_ Jesus called the twelve disciples to be with Him, emphasizing the importance of intimacy and relationship with Him. This highlights the value of spending time with Jesus, learning from Him, and being transformed by His presence. Jesus ordained the twelve to be with Him and to be sent out to preach, demonstrating the dual purpose of their calling: relationship and mission. This emphasizes the importance of balancing personal devotion with outward service. By being with Jesus, the disciples were empowered to fulfill their mission. This highlights the importance of cultivating a deep relationship with Jesus to effectively serve and impact others. _Key Lessons to Apply:_ - *Prioritize time with Jesus*: Spend quality time in prayer, worship, and Bible study to deepen your relationship with Him. - *Balance relationship and mission*: Ensure that your personal devotion to Jesus informs and empowers your outward service. - *Seek transformation*: Allow Jesus to transform you through your time with Him, enabling you to effectively serve and impact others. _MEDITATION:_ *"When service unto God, does not come from a place of intimacy & being with Jesus, we have theatrical performance rather than spirit empowered ministry* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_June,2025* ❤ *Facebook Link:* https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZXrcgLmwm/ Please follow *David Joshua Egbochuo* on Facebook for more positive impact contents.

*DAILY DEW 28/JUNE/2025* *KNOWING WHEN TO RETREAT* _Key Bible Text:_ *"But Jesus withdrew himself with his disciples to the sea: and a great multitude from Galilee followed him, and from Judaea, And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and [from] beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things he did, came unto him."* (Mark 3: 7-8) _Bible Insight_ Jesus withdrew from the Pharisees' hostility, demonstrating the importance of recognizing when to step back and prioritize one's well-being and mission. Choose your battles wisely. Leave the noise and criticism and negative energy and retreat to your own place of strength and core assignment. Seek alignment with God and His purpose and not acceptance of men. Jesus' withdrawal allowed Him to refocus on His core assignment: preaching, teaching, and healing. This emphasizes the need to prioritize one's primary objectives. Despite the Pharisees' opposition, people from various regions flocked to Jesus, drawn by His teachings and miracles. This highlights the power of authenticity and the impact of one's work. _Key Lessons to Apply:_ - *Recognize boundaries*: Know when to set limits and prioritize self-care. Don't dissipate your energy over every conflict, criticism or controversy. - *Stay focused*: Refocus on core objectives and priorities. Stay true to your mission. Leave the noise and distractions. - *Authenticity attracts*: Be genuine and true to your purpose, and people will be drawn to it. - *Persevere despite opposition*: Continue sharing your message and serving others, even in the face of challenges. _MEDITATION:_ *"Normalize staying on course in the midst of chaotic distractions.

*DAILY DEW 27/JUNE/2025* *WICKEDNESS OF THE HEART* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And the Pharisees went forth, and straightway took counsel with the Herodians against him, how they might destroy him."* (Mark 3: 6) _Bible Insight_ The Pharisees' reaction to Jesus reveals the depths of human sinfulness and the tendency to reject God's work. Their plotting against Jesus showcases the darkness of the human heart. The Pharisees' attempt to destroy Jesus foreshadows the concept of cancel culture, where individuals or groups seek to eliminate or silence those who challenge their views or values. How quick are you to cancel those who you don't agree with? The Pharisees' actions demonstrate spiritual blindness, where they fail to recognize God's presence and work in Jesus. Be careful who you cancel, because you may be acting in spiritual blindness. _Key Lessons to Apply:_ - *Recognize human sinfulness*: Acknowledge the potential for darkness and sin in your own heart. Don't be quick to see the fault in others. Also criticize yourself by yourself more often than you do to others. - *Beware of spiritual blindness*: Stay open to God's work and guidance. Don't trust so much in what you know or believe. Go over them and be willing to learn some more. - *Respond with love and compassion*: Instead of seeking to destroy or silence others, respond with love, understanding, and compassion. Remember that not everyone will accept your views and ways. Still, learn to love or accommodate them anyways. _MEDITATION:_ *"If God operated by a cancel culture, we would have seen more instant judgment everyday. Be like Christ. Be patient with those who do not deserve your kindness* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_June,2025* ❤ *Facebook Link:* https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZXrcgLmwm/ Please follow *David Joshua Egbochuo* on Facebook for more positive impact contents.

*DAILY DEW 26/JUNE/2025* *SABBATH'S PURPOSE* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace. And when he had looked round about on them with anger, being grieved for the hardness of their hearts, he saith unto the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched [it] out: and his hand was restored whole as the other."* (Mark 3: 4-5) _Bible Insight_ Jesus challenges the Pharisees' rigid interpretation of Sabbath law, emphasizing the importance of doing good and saving life. Jesus' response highlights the need for compassion and mercy over strict adherence to rules and traditions. The Pharisees' silence and hardness of heart grieve Jesus, demonstrating the dangers of spiritual stubbornness and resistance to God's work. We also ought to be troubled by the hardness of our owns hearts or the hearts of others. Are we indifferent towards spiritual stubbornness and resistance to the work of the Spirit of God in the lives of men? _Key points to Apply:_ - *Prioritize compassion*: Show mercy and kindness, especially on days of worship. - *Balance rules and relationships*: Avoid letting rules overshadow relationships and genuine care. - *Beware of spiritual stubbornness*: Stay open to God's work and guidance. Keep a soft and child-like heart and spirit. Reject signs of stubbornness and indifference towards God's word and work! _MEDITATION:_ *"One of the tragedies of life and stumbling block to God's work, is when people refuse to repent or fail to allow God's word break into their hearts and impact them for the better.

*DAILY DEW 25/JUNE/2025* *SABBATH'S PURPOSE* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath: Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath."* (Mark 2: 27-28) _Bible Insight_ Jesus emphasizes that the Sabbath was created for humanity's benefit, not the other way around. This highlights God's intention for rest and worship. By declaring Himself Lord of the Sabbath, Jesus asserts His divine authority and sovereignty over all institutions, including the Sabbath. He also demonstrates to us as believers who follows in His footsteps, how we ought to relate with the Sabbath. Jesus' statement can be seen as a fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies, where figures like David acted in ways that foreshadowed Jesus' role as Lord of the Sabbath. Mark 2:25-26 Jesus answered, "Haven't you read what David did when he and his followers were hungry and in need? It was during the time of Abiathar the high priest. David went into the house of God and ate the sacred loaves of bread that only priests are allowed to eat. He also gave some to his followers." _Key Lessons to Apply:_ - *Prioritize rest and worship*: Recognize the importance of rest and worship in your life, as intended by God. - *Acknowledge Jesus' authority*: Submit to Jesus' lordship over all aspects of life, including traditions and institutions. Let Jesus' Lordship and His example be your guide. - *Understand biblical context*: Study how Old Testament figures and events can foreshadow and point to Jesus' role and authority. _MEDITATION:_ *"Create & practice a system of regular rest and worship. Spend time in God's presence. Soak His Presence and radiate the strength that comes from spending time with Jesus!"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_June,2025* ❤ *Facebook Link:* https://www.facebook.com/share/1ZXrcgLmwm/ Please follow *David Joshua Egbochuo* on Facebook for more positive impact contents.
