CHOOSE YOUR PAIN*

*CHOOSE YOUR PAIN* 

_Key Bible Text:_
*Keep your eyes on [Jesus], who both began and finished this race we're in. Study how he did it. Because he never lost sight of where he was headed--that exhilarating finish in and with God--he could put up with anything along the way: cross, shame, whatever. And now he's [there], in the place of honor, right alongside God.* (Hebrews 12:2 (AMP)) 

_Bible Insight:_

I must thank my Pastor, K. C. Onyegbuna whose words kept repeating in my heart as I thought about this topic-- choose your pain!

Face this fact of life, you can't run away from pain in life completely. The rich, the poor, the educated, the illiterate, the middle class, the classless class, etc are all subject to pass through pain at certain points in life. Life is never painless. 
In fact, pains are the building blocks of life. Yes. 

Job 14:1 (KJV) says, *"Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble."* Indeed, trouble and pain are the twins of life. As much as we dislike them, they hold the key to greatness in life. #Selah

In as much as pain is inseparable from life, we can choose which or what kind of pain we must endure. God has given us the power of choose. A man who does not face the pain of discipline, hard work and some measure of stress, will definitely face the pain of regret and poverty. 

Hence we must choose to go through pain deliberately and voluntarily, so that we don't go through pain forcefully. Jesus did exactly that. He chose to suffer the cross, shame and pain because he was poised for the crown of glory ahead of him. 

If Jesus did not escape pain, no one can. The best we can do like Jesus, is to choose what kind of pain we must endure.

*In order to have great happiness you have to have great pain and unhappiness - otherwise how would you know when you're happy?* -

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
