HOLDING ON*

*HOLDING ON*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)* (Hebrews 10:23 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

The times when we live in, it is not just enough to start a good cause. Holding on till the end is the ultimate proof of success. When we come to the Knowledge of Christ, it is not a one time decision. We must continue to press on, we must continue to abide, and we must continue to follow hard after Christ. Following Christ sincerely is like moving against the tides, and only those who hold fast without wavering, will be able to survive the host of temptations and distractions without caving in. 

Hebrews 10 verse 21 began by reminding us that we have a great high priest over the house of God. For which reason, verse 22 calls us to draw near with a true heart fully assured and our hearts and bodies washed with pure water. We have explained these previously. However, we are also called upon to hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering. 

For anything God calls our attention to, there is a reason. Looking critically at the way the world is today, (just as the Word of God has earlier prophesied should be) if we must succeed as believers, we must apply both verse 22 of Hebrews 10 and verse 23. There are certain things to be understood of this charge in verse 23. 

Amplified version of Hebrews 10:23, says *"So let us seize and hold fast and retain without wavering the hope we cherish and confess and our acknowledgement of it, for He Who promised is reliable (sure) and faithful to His word."* 

As we can see, what King James version calls "Faith", Amplified calls "Hope". Using the two words interchangeably in this context does not remove the meaning but rather adds to the meaning as we shall see later.

_MEDITATION:_
*Let us hold on firmly to the hope we profess, because we can trust God to keep his promise.* (Hebrews 10:23 (GNB))

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?*

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

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
