PURE WATER* (II)

*PURE WATER* (II)

_Key Bible Text:_
*That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.* (Ephesians 5:26-27 (KJV))

_Bible Insight:_

*"Having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water"* 

God requires that we come boldly before the throne of grace. However, He also requires that we get rid of evil conscience and any dirt or filth on our bodies: that's an inside out cleaning. He recognizes that we can't do this highly needed cleaning without His help. Hence, the need for the pure water that He provides. The question is, what's the pure water about? 

In the word, certain symbols or items were used to refer to the Word of God. From Ephesians 5:26 for instance, the Bible graphically explains how Christ shows love to the church: that is, by sanctifying & cleansing the church with the *"washing of water by the word"* In other words, the word of God is symbolized by pure water! Hallelujah! 

To buttress this point, John 15:3 (KJV) says, *"Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you."* Jesus said this to His disciples. The word is indeed a cleansing agent just as water is used for washing. The Psalmist also understood this. Psalms 119:9 (KJV) says,  *_"Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word."_* 

So when the the Bible says _"Having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water"_  it tells us to recognize and open ourselves the ministry of the Word as we approach the presence of God or as we deepen our relationship with God, which shows itself in our day to day activities. 

And yet, there is more about what pure water symbolize. 

_MEDITATION:_
*For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?* (Hebrews 9:13-14 (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

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
