*DAILY DEW 6/JANUARY/2025* *Doing Over Knowing* _Key Bible Text:_ *"If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them."* (John 13:17 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ As Jesus washed the feet of His disciples, He imparted a profound lesson on humility and servitude. In John 13:17, He emphasizes the importance of not only knowing God's will but also obeying it. It's one thing to have head knowledge, but it's quite another to put that knowledge into practice. Jesus' words serve as a gentle reminder that true happiness and fulfillment come from living out our faith. Knowing God's Word is essential, but it's only the first step. The true test of our faith lies in our willingness to obey and apply what we've learned. When we put God's principles into practice, we experience the joy and peace that come from living in harmony with His will. Jesus' promise is clear: "Happy are ye if ye do them." The happiness He speaks of isn't fleeting or circumstantial; it's a deep-seated joy that comes from knowing we're living as God intended. So, let us not be content with simply knowing God's Word. Let us strive to live it out, even when it's difficult or uncomfortable. As we obey God's commands and follow Jesus' example, we'll experience the happiness and fulfillment that come from living a life surrendered to Him. _MEDITATION:_ *May we take Jesus' words to heart and seek to not only know His will but also to do it, that we might experience the joy and peace that come from living for Him.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 5/JANUARY/2025* *OLD PRINCIPLES FOR NEW ACHIEVEMENTS* (4) _Key Bible Text:_ *"And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what [is] that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God."* (Romans 12:2 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ The God Factor or The God First Principle: God! Life began with God. And life must therefore be lived with God as a beginning & guiding factor throughout life. No one can live life "successfully" without the one who made life in the first place. Hence, the God factor or the God First Principle is the mindset that God must be Lord over all we do- it means we don't just do things; we do things that please God and we do things in ways that God is pleased with. It also means we don't do anything that God does not approve of or do anything in ways that is not approved by God. When we truly put God first, we don't let self rule our lives and we don't let others influence us contrary to the word and ways of God. It also means we seek to find what is acceptable to God, and excellent before God. Once we find those things, we strive to live by them. _MEDITATION:_ *Hebrews 11:6 But without faith [it is] impossible to please [him]: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and [that] he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 4/JANUARY/2025* *OLD PRINCIPLES FOR NEW ACHIEVEMENTS* (3) _Key Bible Text:_ *"For the time being no discipline brings joy, but seems grievous and painful; but afterwards it yields a peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it [a harvest of fruit which consists in righteousness--in conformity to God's will in purpose, thought, and action, resulting in right living and right standing with God]."* (Hebrews 12:11 (Amplified)) _Bible Insight_ The power of discipline: Anyone who must achieve anything of worth, thrives in self discipline. This is the second principle I shared with a dear brother who will be getting set to return to the boarding school. Without discipline, we will be slaves to what we feel like doing instead of what we need to be doing. Discipline is one of the principles that separates underachievers from high achievers. Show me anyone who achieves a lot, and I will show you someone who practices discipline a lot. Those who are disciplined, have the following traits-- 1. Consistency; 2. Time management; 3. Self- control; & 4. Healthy habits. Among others. _MEDITATION:_ *As you hope to achieve new things this year, check the level of your discipline to see how much you are ready for the the things you hope to achieve.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 3/JANUARY/2025* *OLD PRINCIPLES FOR NEW ACHIEVEMENTS* (2) _Key Bible Text:_ *"AND YE SHALL EAT OLD STORE, AND BRING FORTH THE OLD BECAUSE OF THE NEW."* (Leviticus 26: 10 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Let's revisit a few old principles. And I shared this one recently with a young chap: The power of focus: David Oluyale my good friend, said, and I quote- "If you focus on your focus, you will become a focus" You cannot excell in life without mastering the art of focus. Genesis 49:4 Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel; because thou wentest up to thy father's bed; then defiledst thou [it]: he went up to my couch. Unstable people are people who lack focus. Lack of focus leads to loss of concentration. Loss of concentration is the reason many do not achieve any set objective. The enemies of focus include distractions, confusion (fear & anxiety), and procrastination. Don't indulge distractions. If you must be a person of focus, please run away from distractions. Anxiety and fear creates confusion. This is an enemy of focus. Practice calmness, faith over fear and prayer over worry (anxiety). You can tame confusion. Focus does not abide with procrastination. When you procrastinate, you weaken the power of focus. _MEDITATION:_ *Make a conscious decision to engage the principle of focus in order to achieve new feats.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 2/JANUARY/2025* *OLD PRINCIPLES FOR NEW ACHIEVEMENTS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For I will have respect unto you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, and establish my covenant with you. AND YE SHALL EAT OLD STORE, AND BRING FORTH THE OLD BECAUSE OF THE NEW."* (Leviticus 26:9-10 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ No new achievements come about without engagements with the old. For new feats to be achieved, old fears must be overcomed. For new victories to be won, old defeats must be embraced, confronted and learned from. For a better, newer version of yourself to emerge, old principles and teachings must be revisited and applied or reapplied or revised. All the principles that produces great new achievements and phases are already revealed since time memorial. They are not new. The new year will be really new only when old lessons, old teachings, old principles, old methods are revisited, applied or reapplied, and remodeled or revised. _MEDITATION:_ *Nothing new comes except from something old.* Happy & Joyful New Year to all our readers. Experience All Round Increase in Jesus name.

*DAILY DEW 1/JANUARY/2025* *WHAT IS NEW?* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, [and] rivers in the desert."* (Isaiah 43:19 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Like God, one must decide to make something new. Nothing truly new comes about without the active role of someone or some people. As we cross into a new year, please take time to assess the preview year and be sure of what happened. People who cannot sit down and study what happened, how it happened, why it happened, and what could have happened or not, are usually left behind in life. Selah. When you know the dynamics of happenings, it places you in a position to make them happen or not. When you decide that this year or any year at all, will be better, then you must track all or most of the things that must be done to make the year better. _MEDITATION:_ *God makes things new for those who take responsibility to participate in the new things that God is making.* Happy & Joyful New Year to all our readers. Experience All Round Increase in Jesus name. Amen. *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 31/DECEMBER/2024* *HUNTING THE PERISHING* _Key Bible Text:_ *"For the Son of man is come to seek and to save that which was lost."* (Luke 19:10 (KJV)) _Bible Insight_ Jesus the son of man came to this world "to seek and to save that which was lost." And in very clear terms has sent us to do likewise:- John 20:21 Then said Jesus to them again, Peace [be] unto you: as [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you. "As [my] Father hath sent me, even so send I you." That means as He came to seek and to save that which was lost, so must we do too. It is not an exegeration to say that there is no other primary or major objective for us in this life other than this-- to seek and to save that which was lost. Everything we do should and must revolve around this primary objective. Otherwise, how can we say we are being more like Christ, talk less of growing in Christ? This is why every December, while the world claims to celebrate the birth of Christ, we not only remind ourselves of the reason for his coming, we also emulate it as we engage in Hunting The Perishing-- A program targetted at fulfiling the great commission through short term missions. _MEDITATION:_ *The reason for the season is Christ and so the reason for his coming must be at the center of the reason for this season.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Mr_Positive_Impact* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JANUARY,2025* ❤ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
