BE SELFLESS


*DAILY DEW 3RD/AUGUST /2021*

*BE SELFLESS* 

_Key Bible Text:_
*For God is not unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love which you have shown for His name's sake in ministering to the needs of the saints (His own consecrated people), as you still do.*
(Hebrews 6:10 (Amp)) 

_Bible Insight:_

The major and most important transformation undergone by the believer is one of moving from selfishness or self centeredness to Christ-centeredness. If any man be in Christ, he is a new creation. The new creation man is a Christ oriented personality. It is actually the disappearance of self and the emergence and preeminence of Christ in me that makes me mature in Christ. Thus the scripture says, Christ in me the hope of glory! 

God never forgets our labour of love for the brethren. Hence, God's faithfulness is constant. We need to therefore focus more on labouring in love. Why do we labour in love? Until we truly understand why, we won't labour effectively. We would be discouraged, in fact. 

We don't labour in love to please self. We don't labour in love simply because of the love of the brethren. Even that reason, can fail as good and scriptural as it is. We labour in love for this reason: 

*For God is not unrighteous to forget or overlook your labor and the love which you have shown FOR HIS NAME'S SAKE in ministering to the needs of the saints* 

We labour for Christ's sake. We labour for the sake of the name of Christ. We labour to bring Christ glory. We don't labour because we love to. We labour because God says we should do so for Christ's sake. 

May we be strengthened to do more for His name sake. 

MEDITATION:
*For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.* (Philippians 1:21 (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

What's Your Focus?*

*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
