DCLM Daily Manna 7 April 2026 Devotional MESSAGE
Your sin will find you out is not just a statement of retribution but the reality of human existence. This dictum revealed itself in a plaintiff’s actions after a judge in America ordered the bailiff to take her to jail. Though rightly reprimanded for her wrong actions, the young lady thought it was a good time to trash-talk the dutiful judge. So the judge called her back and added a fine of $1000 for contempt of court. An additional $10000 fine for cursing, plus a one-month jail term, which must be fully served, was imposed on the woman.
Today’s passage shows us God’s judgment on the children of the half tribe of Manasseh. God gave them victory over their enemies, from whom they took numerous spoils of war. However, their victory turned to defeat due to unrestrained idolatry. The people “went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them.” What an irony! Why would Manasseh fall into such an inglorious web? How will a god that was powerless against the God of Israel protect Manasseh?
Many are held in the trap of idol worship today. Traditional fetishism and idolatry, rejected in decades gone by, are staging a vigorous comeback. In communities of faith, new models of idol worship couched in spiritualism are resurfacing. There is an insatiable lust for mammon. There is an unrestrained pursuit of carnal pleasure and sinful entertainment. All these activities destroy lives and homes worldwide.
Enjoying God’s favour in areas of material possession is no evidence of spiritual success. The Lord expects those He gave victory to continue in righteous living. We must never employ God’s bestowed riches and blessings to spite His Omnipotence. The same God Who blesses has the power to dry up the spring from which the goodness flowed to us. Once saved, always saved is the bedrock of false assurance that leads to eternal perdition. God has no pleasure in those who relapse into sin. While due punishment in hell awaits souls that refuse to repent and turn away from sinfulness, God will not spare backsliders who trample on His grace with impunity. He is, after all, a consuming fire, though merciful towards repentant offenders.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: God pardons the penitent and punishes the impenitent
Listed among “500 most powerful people on the planet” by the Foreign Policy magazine in 2013, Pastor (Dr.) William F. Kumuyi is the founder and General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Ministry (DCLM) headquartered in Lagos, Nigeria. DCLM started in 1973 as a 15-member Bible study group right in Kumuyi’s apartment at University of Lagos where he was a lecturer. His revolutionary Bible teaching on personal holiness and commitment to evangelism soon gained so much traction and resulted in a widespread revival.
