THE GREAT COMMANDMENT


*DAILY DEW 20TH/AUGUST/2021*

*THE GREAT COMMANDMENT*

_Key Bible Text:_
*The proof that we love God comes when we keep his commandments and they are not at all troublesome.* (1John.5.3 (MSB))

_Bible Insight:_

From generation to generation we have always been hearing about commandments, rules and regulations.

What is it all about? Who brought it? Is it useful in this our era?

The children of Israel got the commandments which were known as the ten commandments but they failed to follow it strictly. What makes men to do what's wrong when the right thing has been laid down? Is there anything called great commandment that will supersede all the commandments and as well make the rest of the commandments to be fulfilled without difficulties? 

These are questions that come to the mind of men that has not gotten the great commandment or have not understood how it will works. 

If only we get this great commandment all other rules or regulations to fulfill purpose and destiny will be so easy to follow, but majority have gone astray looking for a short cut to please God. Without first obeying the commandments of God it will be impossible to please God and even to fulfill God's call for one's life.

*What is the Great Commandment?* Matthew 22:37, 38 & 39 makes it clear to us; it says *(Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. (KJV)*

It is only when we have this that we can fullfil purpose and be at peace with all men -- Matthew 22:40 says *"On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (KJV))."*

You don't have any excuse if you fail to love because the God we serve is a loving God and He himself is Love. 

*1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. (KJV)*

*MEDITATION*

*Love is the greatest of all the commandment. So love without measure (Agape love).*

*Song: This Love (by Chidinma)*

WELCOME TO MISSIONS (VI)

*DAILY DEW 18TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO MISSIONS* (VI) _Key Bible Text:_ *And of making all people see how God's secret plan is to be put into effect. God, who is the Creator of all things, kept his secret hidden through all the past ages, in order that at the present time, by means of the church, the angelic rulers and powers in the heavenly world might learn of his wisdom in all its different forms.* (Ephesians 3:9-10(GNB))  _Bible Insight:_ But now for the sequel. They became so interested, so aroused, so awakened, that they came in ever-increasing numbers. Souls were saved and in a very short time every seat was taken. Before long thy had caught the vision and they began to give, to give as they had never given before, and in a few weeks, without having to say hardly anything about the local obligations, every debt was paid, every bill met, and from that day to this we have not known the meaning of the word “debt” in connection with our work. We discovered that w

PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM

Image
*DAILY DEW 5TH/MAY/2021* *PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge." (Romans 10:1-2 (KJV))   _Bible Insight:_ Some have tried to distinguish between what is desirable and what is wrong by using two separate words, patriotism and nationalism. The value of the former has been shown by Lecky when he wrote in his _History of European Morals_ :  Patriotism leads men to subordinate their wishes to interests of the society in which they live. It extends the horizon of life, teaching men to dwell among the great men of the past, to derive their moral strength from the study of their heroic lives, to look forward continually, through the vistas of a distant future, to the welfare of an organization which will continue when they have passed away.  Nationalism, on the other hand, can be used to

Age Long Wisdom (III)

Image
*DAILY DEW 13TH/NOVEMBER/2020* *Age Long Wisdom (III)* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And Jesus went on to say, And so I tell you: make friends for yourselves with worldly wealth, so that when it gives out, you will be welcomed in the eternal home."* (Luke 16:9) _Bible Insight:_ In soul winning, we need money! Cool money! The world needs the power of God but it takes engaging money to bring the Gospel close enough, so that the world can hear and see the power of God.  We need money and materials things to push the Gospel. In our key text, we see the need to use worldly wealth to make friends who will be brought closer to the opportunity to hear the Gospel and be saved. Use worldly wealth. You don't need to wait until you have enough of it. You will never have enough. However, you can decide to use the worldly wealth you have for soul winning. In the story of the good Samaritan, we see a Samaritan using his time, energy and resources to revive the man who was robbed and w
