GO INTO THE NEXT TOWNS


*DAILY DEW 22ND/NOVEMBER/2020*

*GO INTO THE NEXT TOWNS* 

_Key Bible Text:_
*And when they had found him, they said unto him, All men seek for thee.And he said unto them, Let us GO INTO THE NEXT TOWNS, that I may preach there also: for therefore came I forth.* (Mark 1:37-38 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_
The need to reach the unreached cannot be overemphasized. Jesus consistently exemplified this. In today's text, you will observe that while those who sought after him, were calling for him, he was busy directing his disciples to prepare to move to the next towns. Why is this? He was pressed to reach those to whom he had not preached to before. 

P.F. Bresee, founder of the Church of the Nazarene, said and I quote:
_"We are debtors to every man to give him the gospel in the same measure in which we have received it"_ The moment we understand this, we would realize that each point in time, you owe it to God and to men to reach people whom you have not reached before. 

Everyday, God provides an opportunity for you to go to the "next town" to preach. Sometimes, the "next town", is your neighbour, a colleague at work, or a stranger in the bus. Sometimes the "next town" is an church evangelism outreach, a crusade, or a short term missions outreach. No matter what you do, follow the example of Christ, and seek to engage that "next town." Don't allow the familiar busy schedules or persons who have always had your attention, make you miss the unique opportunity to go to the "next town"! There is a "next town" calling your attention! Don't miss that call!

MEDITATION: 
*"have but one candle of life to burn, and I would rather burn it out in a land filled with darkness than in a land flooded with light"* — John Keith Falconer.

FINANCING MISSIONS (II)

*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_...
