*DAILY DEW 14/JULY/2023* *Available AND USEABLE* _Key Bible Text:_ *“And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a vision, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord."* (Acts 9:10 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ ANANIAS, the disciple at Damascus did not SUDDENLY hear God's voice. It is true that he was never seen before or after this Acts 9:10-19 account of him. In nine verses or less, we read about this damascus disciple. Researchers may have even more to say about him, but it is important to note that the short verses still gives some vital information about him that every believer must care to understand, emulate & apply. 1. He saw a vision. Acts 9:10 (KJV) And there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and to him said the Lord in a VISION, Ananias. And he said, Behold, I am here, Lord. This is one key the Lord uses to instruct his disciples. The mountain of transfiguration was a vision. (Mathew 17:9) Remember? Zachariah the father of John the Baptist saw a vision about his childbearing in His old age. (Luke 1:22) Cornelius and Peter saw a vision. This brought a major inroad of the Gospel being preached to Gentiles. It is a landmark precedent. (Acts 10:3 & 17) With these few points it is safe to conclude that vision was not for "ordinary" people who have not known or had dealings with God. Note the nature of these visions. They were very clearly divine and directive or instructive. They were neither vague nor were they received by ungoldly people. They commanded positive actions, that requires faith and trust in God. It takes men who have nurtured their walk with God to enjoy visions of this sort or some other level of clear communication with God. How is your walk with God? How is your hearing? Can God use you when he has a need to take care of? Are you sendable, useable and available? _MEDITATION:_ *"God is still in the business of using people. Not just the available but the useable too."* *#David_Joshua_Egbochuo* *#Daily_Wisdom_for_living* *#Becoming_More_Like_Jesus* *#The_Rise_of_An_Army* *#Daily_Dew_Devotional* *#Hello_JULY,2023* ❤ *#Guest_Message* Links To Visit: *FB Pages* https://www.facebook.com/DavidJoshuaEgbochuo/ https://www.facebook.com/thedavidgen/ https://www.facebook.com/THEREVIVALCORPS/ *Telegram Group:* https://t.me/joinchat/NzXQlVc9Hx7LfaRSnh9fHg Feel Free to Share with Friends.
