*DAILY DEW 15/AUGUST/2024* *Shun Wickedness* _Key Bible Text:_ *Though hand join in hand, the wicked shall not be unpunished: but the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.* Proverbs 11:21 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Proverbs 11:21 Count on this: The wicked won't get off scot-free, and God's loyal people will triumph. (The Message) Proverbs 11:21 You can be sure that evil people will be punished, but the righteous will escape. (GNB) Proverbs 11:21 Certainly the evil-doer will not go free from punishment, but the seed of the upright man will be safe. (BBE) Proverbs 11:21 You can be sure of this: All crooks will be punished, but God's people won't. (CEV) ..... We are quick to excuse ourselves as not being wicked. Assuming that we are correct, the question is, do we know what God considers as wickenedss? Do we know how God deals with wicked acts? Do we know what God thinks about the things we dismiss as non-wickedness? I think this calls for introspection so we don't run foul of God's expectations in this regards. _MEDITATION:_ *"If you take pride in wickedness, remember that God will not excuse you- your punishment will catch up with you if you don't repent."* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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 14/AUGUST/2024* *Good Work Beats Bad Work* (3) _Key Bible Text:_ *They that are of a froward heart are abomination to the LORD: but such as are upright in their way are his delight.* Proverbs 11:20 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Proverbs 11:20 GOD can't stand deceivers, but oh how he relishes integrity.

(GNB) Proverbs 11:20 The uncontrolled are hated by the Lord, but those whose ways are without error are his delight. (BBE) Proverbs 11:20 The LORD hates sneaky people, but he likes everyone who lives right! (CEV) ..... GOD hates evil minded people! You will never get the best of God being evil. On the reverse, God takes delight in those who live right! Make a conscious decision to do what is right. That's how to be a friend of God! _MEDITATION:_ *"In a world where people repay good with evil, God is bent on taking delight in those who do good nonetheless"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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.

(BBE) Proverbs 11:19 Always do the right thing, and you will live; keep on doing wrong, and you will die! (CEV) ..... Good works or righteousness brings in life but bad works brings in death and destruction. At the end of the day, God himself rewards good works. So keep being good. It pays both on the long run and sooner than you think. _MEDITATION:_ *"The devil tricks us to think that righteousness doesn't pay. Don't buy that lie"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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.

(CEV) ..... Life will sometimes make good work look like bad work. You do good and in return you get loads of bad treatment. Sadly, sometimes, bad treatment comes from those whom we have treated kindly. The people Jesus preached to, prayed for, did miracles for, and raised their dead, where the same people that cried "CRUCIFY HIM." GET use to it. Yes. And do good anyways. It worked for Jesus. It will work for you too. Amen! _MEDITATION:_ *"Good works pay better than bad works.

God is committed to blessing those who obey him. Being kind is not what you do for others because of them but because of GOD'S WORD! _MEDITATION:_ *"BE KIND ALWAYS- even when some people take you for granted!"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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 10/AUGUST/2024* *Strong Men* _Key Bible Text:_ *A gracious woman retaineth honour: and STRONG MEN RETAIN RICHES.* Proverbs 11:16 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Proverbs 11:16 ..., BUT MEN OF ROUGH VIOLENCE GRAB FOR LOOT. (The Message) Proverbs 11:16 .... LAZY PEOPLE WILL NEVER HAVE MONEY, BUT AGGRESSIVE PEOPLE WILL GET RICH. (GNB) Proverbs 11:16 ....: THOSE HATING WORK WILL UNDERGO LOSS, BUT THE STRONG KEEP THEIR WEALTH. (BBE) Proverbs 11:16 ...., BUT A MAN MUST WORK HARD TO GET RICH! (CEV) We are not talking about men of rough violence. 😏 "Aggressive people will get rich" stands out for me! Wow! Indeed money making requires aggressiveness. I have seen rich people pressing and pushing to get or make more money like they can't do without what is coming. Meanwhile, they already have a lot-- but it is never enough! Another point that stands out is THOSE HATING WORK WILL UNDERGO LOSS. Losses are the lot of work haters. _MEDITATION:_ *"Stress goes before progress! Stress and make progress or rest and rust?!"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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.

Proverbs 11:16 (KJV) _Bible Insight_ Proverbs 11:16 A woman of gentle grace gets respect, but men of rough violence grab for loot. (The Message) Proverbs 11:16 A woman who is full of grace is honoured, but a woman hating righteousness is a seat of shame: those hating work will undergo loss, but the strong keep their wealth. (BBE) Proverbs 11:16 A gracious woman will be respected, but a man must work hard to get rich! (CEV) What does a gracious woman look like? She is gentle, respectful, wise, teachable, humble, forgiving, hardworking, and a goal getter. Think of Abigail, whose husband Nabal was a direct opposite. Think of Esther. Think of Ruth. Think of Mary, the mother of Jesus. Think of Priscilla, the one of the first female preachers in early church history along with her husband. _MEDITATION:_ *"Become a woman full of grsce!"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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.

(BBE) Proverbs 11:15 It's a dangerous thing to guarantee payment for someone's debts. Don't do it! (CEV) Being cautious and safety sensitive is needful. In a world of many ills and wicked hearts and acts, it is your responsibility to limit how much exposures you already have to deal with. Proverbs 11:15 counsels us to avoid making ourselves responsible for strangers. Don't be too quick to commit yourself to bail out people. Instead find out what they have done and how best to advice or help without guaranteeing them. _MEDITATION:_ *"Safety is also in avoiding or saying "No" to some commitments!"* *#DavidJoshuaEgbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_AUGUST,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.

(The Message) Proverbs 11:11 By the blessing of the upright man the town is made great, but it is overturned by the mouth of the evil-doer. (BBE) Proverbs 11:11 When God blesses his people, their city prospers, but deceitful liars can destroy a city. (CEV) This is a reminder that you Ade blessed to be a blessing. That's the civic duty of the upright. You can't be upright if your blessings does not uplift the people. God wants us to live such life that others will see our light and glorify his name. In matters of evil or negative influence, the upright must never dance to the tune of the majority. But in matters of him being a blessing and encouraging what is right, God has made us leaders! _MEDITATION:_ *"Ephesians 4:28 (KJV) Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth."* Don't steal from others but work and make enough money to be a blessing to others!

(BBE) Proverbs 11:11 When God blesses his people, their city prospers, but deceitful liars can destroy a city. (CEV) When things go well for righteous people or for the upright or for God's people, the whole town cheers. Think about it! When the upright is blessed, the people around them are excited because they know it will impact upon them favourably. The wicked when they are destroyed, people don't really miss them because when they lived, they didn't benefit others much. _MEDITATION:_ *"The key difference about the upright is that others enjoy or benefit from their lives. As for the wicked, their lives are like thorns in the sides of others.
