*DAILY DEW 4/OCTOBER/2024* *TRIUMPHANT TRUTH* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy."* Proverbs 12:20 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Proverbs 12:20 (GNB) Those who plan evil are in for a rude surprise, but those who work for good will find happiness. Proverbs 12:20 (CEV) An evil mind is deceitful, but gentle thoughts bring happiness. Proverbs 12:20 (EB) Deceit, is in the heart of contrivers of mischief, but, to the counselors of peace, shall be joy. _MEDITATION:_ *Proverbs 12:20 (BBE) Deceit is in the heart of those whose designs are evil, but for those purposing peace there is joy.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_OCTOBER,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 3/OCTOBER/2024* *TIMELESS TRUTH* _Key Bible Text:_ *"The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment."* Proverbs 12:19 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ The world has become a slave to lies. Truth is fast becoming like an alien in a hostile world. But in the end, this world will pass because it failed to be aligned with the truth. "Don't tell the truth" is like an open secret code of conduct adopted by everyone who seems to get along well with the times we now live in. In so many homes, offices, market places or even churches, or other worship places, truth is not really welcomed as much as half truths and outright lies are being celebrated. But one thing remains sure: Those who live by the truth will survive and outlast those who succumb to the present reign of non-truths and half truths. _MEDITATION:_ *All the vices and ills in this world are the products of deceits, non-truths and half truths. To outlast the system, realign yourself with the truth of God's word* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_OCTOBER,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 2/OCTOBER/2024* *THERAPEUTIC TRUTH* _Key Bible Text:_ *"There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health."* Proverbs 12:18 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Truth also heals. Truth can be medicinal and curative. Truth can come like a stabbing or piecing sword or dagger. Truth can also come like a bitter pill that nevertheless cures when administered. Handle truth with care and skill. This requires being sensitive. Don't speak truth carelessly. You can be unapologetic and at the same time not be unconcerned about the feelings of the hearer. Strive towards balance when handling truth. For instance, instead of saying "you behaved like a fool today" you could say, "Your actions today lacked wisdom" Truth can be hard while also providing a soft landing to the hearer. _MEDITATION:_ *Never sacrifice truth on the altar of political correctness.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_OCTOBER,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 1/OCTOBER/2024* *'TRUTHFUL AT ALL COST* _Key Bible Text:_ *"He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit."* Proverbs 12:17 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Being truthful is a key characteristic of righteous people. These days, honesty is not cheap and it is not easy. The truth is becoming not only scarce but dangerous or costly. It can cost you your job if for instance, compromise has become the norm. But God's righteous demands has not and will never change. Only those who think God is a joke will undermine the necessity of honesty in God's kingdom. One of the reasons we must endure hardness as good soldiers of Christ is because we are not expected to hide from the truth or replace the truth with half truths even in the name of being diplomatic. While this message maybe relatively easy to share, living by its disctates is not. However we are either going to speak truth at all cost like Christ, or we are not truly the followers of Christ. _MEDITATION:_ *Deceit defines the devil.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_OCTOBER,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 30/SEPTEMBER/2024* *'CONTROL YOUR ANGER* _Key Bible Text:_ *"A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame."* Proverbs 12:16 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ You can be angry but don't become overwhelmed by anger. Treat anger like fire. You may need it but you are always aware of its danger and always safety conscious. Never take anger like food or water that you cannot survive a day without. Don't gloat in your anger. Don't treat anger like a beautiful woman that easily catches your attention. Rather treat anger like an eyesore you want to get rid off as quickly as possible. Anger can bring you to disrepute and dishonor. When you lose your temper, you lose your credit rating. Get rid of anger as quickly as possible. Correct or speak or act from a place of reason and discretion rather than anger and ill emotions. _MEDITATION:_ *"Proverbs 12:16 (CEV) Losing your temper is foolish; ignoring an insult is smart.* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_OCTOBER,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 29/SEPTEMBER/2024* *'ALWAYS RIGHT' IS WRONG* _Key Bible Text:_ *"The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise."* Proverbs 12:15 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ A fool is ALWAYS right in his own eyes. He never accepts that he is wrong. He is always defending whatever he has done and always finds a way to justify his decisions and actions. He blames others even when he is fully at fault. Never accepts that he should apologize. A wise person accepts that they can do wrong. She knows that she is not infallible. She knows that she is not always right. She is not too big to apologize and does not try hard to defend every step or decision taken. She is quick to make amends, and is open to correction and suggestions as to ways to become better. _MEDITATION:_ *"Be humble enough to accept your wrong and be simple enough to seek to learn ways to be better* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_OCTOBER,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 28/SEPTEMBER/2024* *Watch Your Words* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *"A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him."* Proverbs 12:14 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ If your thinking is poor, your talking will be poor and your doings will be poor too. Rich thinking leads to rich talking and rich talking backed by rich thinking leads to rich doings. Your acts will be riddled with mistakes when your thinking and actions are hasty and shallow. To improve on the quality of your actions, improve on the quality of your thinking and talking. Toyato was right, Good thinking will always lead to good products. Good thinking leads to good talking and good products. Good works begat good works. The more value you create, the more value you generate in return. _MEDITATION:_ *"Worried about the quality of your actions in life? Go back to your ~drawing~ , no, thinking board. Good thoughts generate good words and good words, generate good works and good works attract good things of life!"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_SEPTEMBER,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 27/SEPTEMBER/2024* *Watch Your Words* _Key Bible Text:_ *"The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble."* Proverbs 12:13 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Take time to deal with your thoughts so that your words can reflect careful thinking. Hurtful and insensitive words are the result of poor thinking process and lack of deep or balanced thinking. Emotional or uncontrollable outbursts without good choice of words are a great sign of weakness and even wickedness. It is a great disservice to be so full of words but lack deep and balanced thinking. Those who are poor in thinking but rich in talking get into plenty avoidable troubles. Those who are great thinkers and balanced talkers escape plenty troubles and confusion. _MEDITATION:_ *"Always taste your thoughts before you serve them as words"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_SEPTEMBER,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 26/SEPTEMBER/2024* *Be Rooted* _Key Bible Text:_ *"The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit."* Proverbs 12:12 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Proverbs 12:12 (NLT) Thieves are jealous of each other's loot, but the godly are well rooted and bear their own fruit. Jealousy can cause people to become evil & covet things they do not have. Those whose eyes are always on what they do not have easily yield to evil thoughts. Don't be covetous. The righteous on the other hand will bear fruits. They are well rooted. This shows they have deep understanding of what they are doing and should be doing. Roots grow with time. The righteous are not in a hurry. The righteous are not in hurry to get to the top, they are in a hurry to follow through the process that leads to the top. Righteousness pays attention to the roots of things. The righteous are not first after fruits as they understand that it takes deep roots to bear good fruits. Be rooted. Be solid. Be authentic. Be well grounded. Be meticulous. Put in the right work, and you will get out the right result. _MEDITATION:_ *"Don't worry about the fruits you need to bear. Worry about the roots you need to build. Deep roots are the foundation of great fruits!!"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_SEPTEMBER,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.

*DAILY DEW 23/SEPTEMBER/2024* *BUILD WITH AUTHENTICITY* _Key Bible Text:_ *"He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread."* Proverbs 12:9 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Proverbs 12:9 (GNB) It is better to be an ordinary person working for a living than to play the part of someone great but go hungry. Proverbs 12:9 (Amplified) Better is he who is lightly esteemed but works for his own support than he who assumes honor for himself and lacks bread. Proverbs 12:9 (CEV) It's better to be ordinary and have only one servant than to think you are somebody and starve to death. KJV used the word "despised" but some other translations used the word "ordinary". The idea is that you can have just one servant and still be ordinary or despised. But another can package themselves to be great, have a lot more servants but actually go hungry or unable to pay them. The wisdom here is one of balance and modesty. Build your life aunthenically. Enter into that relationship "declaring your assets" or make full disclosure at the right time. Don't pretend to be big, and claim to own an oil company when you are actually a dealer of groundnut oil. Do a small wedding and have a peaceful start at your marital life. Don't feed the nation and live the early days, weeks or months of your married life under the pressure of debts from avoidable wedding expenses. Build your business with authenticity. Don't ever let packaging become synonyms with pretence and lying. Strive to maintain a lean team/budget and overhead cost and don't run a loss all in the name of appearing large. _MEDITATION:_ *"Be despised for starting small rather than become indebted to loan apps and run into avoidablr pressure."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_SEPTEMBER,2024* ❤ *FB Link* https://www.facebook.com/david.joshua.7923?mibextid=ZbWKwL *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
