GOD, OUR REFUGE


DAILY DEW 20TH/OCTOBER/2020

*GOD, OUR REFUGE*

_Key Bible Text:_
*The LORD is your keeper; the LORD is your shade on your right hand.* (Psalm 121:5)

_Bible Insight:_
The game of football is a very interesting and strategic game. My favorite person on the field is the goalkeeper. In this role he is the last line of defense, constantly watching and changing position in front of his team’s net. Protecting the goal may require diving at strange angles to cause a deflection, challenging the advancing offense, or physically covering the ball to prevent a score.

In the Christian life, God is our keeper; our constant, our protection. The writer of Psalm 121 reminds us that our help comes from the very creator of heaven and earth (v. 2). Our keeper watches our steps (v. 3), and as tired as we may be, He will not fall asleep on the job (v. 4). Verse 7 highlights the extreme care God has for us, stating “The LORD . . . will keep your life.”

Perhaps you feel as though you are losing in life right now. The opposition, whatever that may be or represent, has dealt a substantial blow that landed hard. If you are nodding in agreement right now, remember that God is your defender, and you can trust Him. His mighty hand has deflected shots you were never aware of. He provides shade in which you can rest (v. 5). He is your ultimate safety net. “But the Lord is faithful. He will establish you and guard you against the evil one” (2 Thessalonians 3:3). 

MEDITATION:
*As you pray, praise God for being your constant keeper.*
*NB: Please (keep) pray for Nigeria*

FINANCING MISSIONS (II)

Image
*DAILY DEW 21ST/DECEMBER/2021* *FINANCING MISSIONS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.* (Galatians 6:2, 10 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ How do we get it?  Perhaps if I were to tell you how we do NOT get it, it would help. We do not raise it by means of suppers, bazaars, concerts, rummage sales, or oyster stews. Not because I am against these methods, but because they will not work. What does a business man do when he runs across a method that will not work? He scraps it, does he not?  Now listen. I am responsible, humanly speaking, for the personal support of three hundred and fifty missionaries. Every month of my life I have to get more than $25,000, or humanly speaking, they will starve.  How many of you business men carry as heavy a responsibility? What would you do if you had to get $25...

THE WAY OF THE CROSS (II)

Image
*DAILY DEW 16TH/SEPTEMBER/2021* *THE WAY OF THE CROSS* (II) _Key Bible Text:_ *Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.* (1 Peter 2:24 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ *Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from both the penalty and the power of sin.* (1 Peter 2:24 New American Standard Bible) What are the benefits that accrue to us from following the cross, or carrying the cross to follow Jesus? In answering this, we need to understand that it is the death and resurrection of Jesus on the cross that gives the cross its power.  "1. Through Christ’s death on the cross, those who turn to Him are delivered from the penalty of sin." This is clearly the meaning of the words, “He Himself bore our sins in His body on the tree.” By using the word “tree” rather than “cross,” Peter no doubt had in mind Deuteronomy 21:22-23, where it pre...

TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS*

Image
*DAILY DEW 24TH/DECEMBER/2021* *TRUSTING AGAINST ALL ODDS* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."* (Job 13:15 (KJV))  _Bible Insight:_ It's an uphill task trying to understand God's plan, especially when we can't make logical sense of what we see happening to and around us. But we aren't instructed to understand His plans, but to TRUST HIM and be secure in the knowledge that He's working everything to ultimately turn out for our good.  God won't mismanage your life. Trust Him with it and be willing and quick to obey His instructions even when they don't fit into your parameter of what's logical. One of the truest form of worship we can give to God is to TRUST Him - leaning our entire existence on the unchangeability of His nature and counsels. ❤ _MEDITATION:_ *In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust: let me never be put to confusion.* (Psalms 71:1 (KJV)) *#Chibuikem_...
