*KEEPING THE BODY BALANCED* (V)

_Key Bible Text:_
*By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith.* (Hebrews 11:7 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

The love of God in the fear of God

Believers who try to discountenance the Old Testament or simply ignore it, are still unschooled in the word of righteousness. To truly know Jesus, you must SEARCH the scriptures. The scriptures does not only comprise of the New Testament. Hence, by referencing that IT WAS AN ACT OF FAITH that Noah moved with fear in building the Ark, the New Testament has successfully adopted and established the doctrine of the fear of God for believers in Christ Jesus. 

Believers must move with fear at the word of God. God is too great and holy for us to do otherwise. The more of Him we know, the more of His love we grow and the more reverence we hold for him. Maybe, knowing a man may not strike us in this way, but knowing Christ more, should definitely strike us, with as much love for Him as fear for Him. 

Just as interestingly, Noah moved with fear in preparing the ark and arrived at faith. Likewise as we move with fear in obeying the word of God, it does not only result in faith, but we arrive at more love for God. *The outcome of true fear for God, which drives us to more obedience to His word, is greater love for Him as we see the wonder we become in Him.*

This sort of fear, is what makes the Word of God the means by which God chastises His beloved children. The man whom you do not fear, even his words would be but child's play and nothing to be taken seriously. However, when we truly love God,we tremble at His words. His Word then become an instructive guide that we can't bear to ignore. Such that when it is evoked upon us, we develop a godly sorrow that works repentance.

And what other act shows love for God than when we repent at the rebuke of His word, because we fear Him?  

_MEDITATION:_
*For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation not to be repented of: but the sorrow of the world worketh death. For behold this selfsame thing, that ye sorrowed after a godly sort, what carefulness it wrought in you, yea, what clearing of yourselves, yea, what indignation, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement desire, yea, what zeal, yea, what revenge! In all things ye have approved yourselves to be clear in this matter.* (2 Corinthians 7:10-11 (KJV)) {Please cross reference this passage with other translations of the Bible.}

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
