THE POWER OF CHOICE* (I)


*DAILY DEW 28TH/AUGUST/2021*

*THE POWER OF CHOICE* (I)

_Key Bible Text:_
*I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:* (Deuteronomy 30:19 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

*_When you are born, you will look like your parents, but when you are "done" you will resemble your choices._*

Choices have consequences either good or bad. Decisions determine destiny. Why didn't Eve choose the tree of life? Have you asked yourself that question? I think I will attribute her poor decision to the power of marketing/advertising. The devil's excellent marketing deceived Eve. Not everything that is marketed and advertised is worth your time and money. Beware.

I need to check what decisions and choices I'm making daily. Am I by my daily choices pointing others to Christ? If my life doesn't point people to the person of Christ, then my spiritual life needs an audit. If my life points people away from God, then my spiritual life needs check up.

I need to take heed what you eat. I become what I eat. At this age of mine, I need to cut down on the amount of soda drinks I consume. What about what I "eat" in terms of contents I consume by way of watching or listening? Whatever I do, I must avoid every kind of junk foods and junk contents.

In Gen 13:8 -- 10, Lot looked and saw the greener pastures of Sodom. Alas, he didn't know that that land may be greener pastures but it's going to be a snare and temptation to his convictions. I must learn that if the direction I am  going is not leading to where I want to be, I can and must make a U turn!

*Sin says, "It is only this once" Meanwhile, it has no plans of leaving. Say NO, and you won't be trapped.*

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
