HAVE YOU ASKED?*

*HAVE YOU ASKED?*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Until now you have not asked for anything in my name; ask and you will receive, so that your happiness may be complete*
(John 16:24 (GNB))

_Bible Insight:_

I was at the IKOYI prison Magistrate Court that morning. It turned out that my matter wasn't going on! I & an officer of the complainant checked with the registrar it turns out that the matter was slated for the following week for trial. I saw a document that would help me! So I collected it to run some copies! My bill was 180 naira. I had a thousand naira note with me -- the small denominations on me, I was afraid to release as I knew I would need them later. But I thought it was too early, and I was the first customer she would attend to! So I was about using my church mind to give her the only set of smaller denominations with me, when I had a check in my spirit that said: "But have you asked?". 

Immediately, I kept back the "change" with me -- thank God she didn't notice as she had been busy attending to other customers! So I gave her the 1000 naira note with me, and she searched out my balance for me -- all from her bag! Then the scripture came to mind: "Ask, and you shall receive!", "You do not receive because you do not ask!" 

Pls don't assume it can't be done: have you asked? Have you prayed? Have you shared the challenge with a friend!? 

There are several things we go through life thinking "I know it can't be done!" In fact, some have set their minds perpetually on the negative! 

Never shy away from asking! Talk to God about that challenge! And you may also need to share with a friend! Learn to open up! Don't suffer* in silence!

MEDITATION:
*Ask, and you will receive; seek, and you will find; knock, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks will receive, and anyone who seeks will find, and the door will be opened to those who knock.* (Matthew 7:7-8 (GNB))

WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL

*DAILY DEW 11TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO THE GOSPEL* _Key Bible Text:_ *And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!* (Romans 10:15 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ In the old testament, an adulterer or adulteress was condemned to be stoned to death before God. That was the law. In the new testament, Jesus said to an adulteress "I do not condemn you, go and sin no more" Believe me, the law had not changed. The penalty for adultery was still death. And Jesus did not come to abolish the law, or change the law. He came to FULFILL it. So He had the right to tell her to go because He was going to bear the penalty for her adultery. He had taken her condemnation upon Himself. He was going to die for her. And so He could tell her to GO....and sin no more. Brothers and sisters; welcome to the Gospel.  _MEDITATION:_ *"The real gospel makes a poor man

What's Your Focus?*

Image
*DAILY DEW 19TH/JULY/2021* *What's Your Focus?*  _Key Bible Text:_ *For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. As one who reckons, he says to you, eat and drink, yet his heart is not with you [but is grudging the cost].* (Proverbs 23:7 (AMP))  _Bible Insight:_ I’ve learnt one thing in life so far: what you focus on somehow expands. Focus on your business, invest your thoughts and imaginations on how to grow it, talk about it with your spouse and friends; and gradually but surely, it will expand.  On the other hand, spend your time on every gist in town and watch the uselessness of your life expand. You will know more gists and gossips and, by the law of attraction, you will attract people like you and your life will nosedive or at best stagnate.  The human mind is powerful to the extent that we focus and whether the focus is to the left or the right, your mind does not care. It will give you back, in multiple folds, what you are steadily planting in it.  This is why the B

As Jesus or As yourself?*

Image
*DAILY DEW 2ND/DECEMBER/2021* *As Jesus or As yourself?* _Key Bible Text:_ * A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.* (John 13:34 (KJV)) _Bible Insight:_ One of the most outstanding things about the Christmas season is the birth of Christ. While we must remember or even celebrate this blessed season, we must never forget the spirit behind God's move and decision in sending His son Jesus. The answer to the why of Jesus' coming to earth is simply, LOVE. John 3:16 may have been abused but it cannot be overused or overemphasized. Jesus is God's decision born out of love. "For God so loved", he couldn't help but "gave His only begotten son". And even that had a reason, "that whosoever believes in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life". So God's love in sending Jesus was not exactly "reckless" but absolutely intentional and expedien
