HEARING GOD*


*DAILY DEW 28TH /SEPTEMBER/2021*

*HEARING GOD*

_Key Bible Text:_
*To him the porter openeth; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calleth his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice.*
(John 10:3-4 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

When I was still riding a motorbike, I went somewhere to preach in the early 1980s. As I was returning, there was a heavy downpour of rain and it beat hard on me like stones. There was no shelter under which to park. The only option was to keep going. I shivered with cold. I cried out "Lord, remember your servant. O God, I am not complaining, but remember me. I have to go to places for preaching engagements. You are the one who provided this motorcycle. Thank You. But I wish you would give me a car, to reduce the stress I am facing at this time". And the Lord said "I will get you a car".

A week after, a sister brought a Volkswagen Beetle. She said the Lord told her that she should give me the car. Then I asked the Lord, "Is this the car?" The Lord said, "This is not the car. This is a sympathy offering. If I were you. I would not take it."

Who am I to take what the Lord would not take? I politely thanked the sister and told her that I could not take the car and that it was neither meant for me nor for the work. She got annoyed.

She said "What do you mean? I told you that God told me to give it to you!" Then I said "But I told you that God did not tell me to receive it." She got me wrong. And did not understand me. She jumped up and said "Well, we are trying to help you. Are you trying to be over humble?" I was surprised.

Then she took the car, went and gave it to another preacher in town who did not know that the car had been brought to me before. When I got to that preacher's house for the regular leader's meeting, he joyfully told me about the miraculous provision of the car. He said "Sir, see the car the Lord has provided for me!" I said, "Yes, that's alright. Praise God."

So he started riding the car. But when the husband of the lady arrived from his journey, he asked his wife about the car. She said the Lord led her to give it out. He said "No, don't bring confusion into my house. Go and bring back my car. Otherwise, there will be problem." The sister began to run helter-skelter. The man said "I am a Christian, and you are a Christian. Go and bring my car back. God has not told me to give it to any evangelist." The sister went and begged the man of God and brought the car back. The man of God began to trek again.

When next I went for our usual fellowship, the man of God said, "Do you see what this brother did? His wife made an offering to the Lord, and he disagreed. She came and collected the car back. They have insulted the Lord." I laughed. When he calmed down, I said "Sir, I don't know whether you prayed about it. The car was brought to me before and the Lord said it was not meant for me and the work. And so when I saw it in your house, I wondered how the Lord led you. But it's alright. Please, wait for the right vehicle. When it comes, you will know".

MEDITATION:
*And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.* (John 10:5 (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
