REDISCOVERING THE MESSAGE.*

*REDISCOVERING THE MESSAGE.* 

_Key Bible Text:_
*"Remove not the ancient landmark, which thy fathers have set."* (Proverbs 22:28 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

It's my opinion, that if we don't go back and study and I mean really study the early church, and read from early authors, we will lose critical concepts of God and the Church. Over time, emphasis change, even over the last one hundred years. Some truths can become lost. If you are only reading popular 21st Century American authors, you may be missing something extremely important to the Christian faith. 

Not considered "ancient" by any means, read Watchman Nee. Read "The Practice of the Presence of God" by Brother Lawrence. Read Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Read "The Dictionary of Early Christian Beliefs" by David Bercot. 


Read "A Glimpse at Early Christian Church Life" by Tertullian. Read "Polycarp's Letter to the Philippians & His Martyrdom". There are too many to name. But important truths are being lost. When is the last time you really heard a good message about God and His Holiness? When is the last time you heard about the fear of God? 

The 21st Century message is MUCH different than it was in the first and second centuries. Even over the past century. Before, the heavy focus was on God. Now it's on ourselves. I'm telling you, the message has changed. Take some time and reacquaint yourself with the messages of old. Discover what's been lost over time. 

You will be amazed.

*MEDITATION:*
*But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.* (Galatians 1:8-9 (KJV))

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

As Jesus or As yourself?*

*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

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
