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 THE GOSPEL

Image
*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
