Topic: Get The Cleaning First [DCLM Daily Manna 29 January 2019 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Isaiah 6:1-8 (KJV)

Key Verse: “And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged” (Isaiah 6:7).

MESSAGE:

Charles Spurgeon had a sinful habit of smoking cigarette. It became a concern to many of his followers who saw him smoke openly. One day, he invited a guest minister who spoke on the need for believers to shun “little foxes” such as smoking, adding that anyone who was still involved in the habit of smoking was not really a child of God. There was rowdiness in the congregation because they wondered why their pastor was into smoking. After the preacher ended his message, Spurgeon was said to have climbed the stage and in a bid to water down the effect of the message, said: “Brethren there are things which to men appear sinful, but to God they are not so; despite what Brother Pentecost has said, tonight I hope to smoke a good cigar to the glory of God.”

Within days, tobacco companies in the country used his picture to advertise their products. We are told that it was that sad experience that got him genuinely converted. He gave up the habit and was totally purged of it. He later accomplished a lot for God.

Prophet Isaiah had been living his life, dwelling among people of “unclean lips”; he never realised he had a serious limitation until the very day when he had a special visitation. For the first time, he “saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train fill the temple.”

He had an experience and encounter that changed his life completely. He had his mouth touched with a live coal by a messenger of God, a Seraphim. It was after that touch that his sins were purged and iniquity taken away. The presence of God should make us humble in worship like Isaiah.

Those who are still “undone” and of “unclean lips” have no business bearing the word of God to others. You need to be purged today.

Thought For The Day: A clog on wheel of revival we would be, unless we disentangle ourselves from yokes of limitations.

Topic: Algae and Diatoms [Our Daily Bread 29 January 2019 Devotional]

Bible in a Year: Exodus 23–24; Matthew 20:1–16

Stop and consider God’s wonders. – Job 37:14

Today’s Scripture & Insight: Job 37:14-24

“What’s a diatom?” I asked my friend. I was leaning over her shoulder looking at pictures on her cell phone she had taken through a microscope. “Oh, it’s like algae, but it’s harder to see. Sometimes you need a drop of oil on the lens or they have to be dead to see them,” she explained. I sat amazed as she scrolled through the pictures. I couldn’t stop thinking about the intricate detail God put into life that we can only see with a microscope!

God’s creation and works are endless. In the book of Job, one of Job’s friends, Elihu, points this out to Job as he struggles through his loss. Elihu challenges his friend, “Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God’s wonders. Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash? Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?” (Job 37:14–16). We, as humans, can’t begin to understand the complexity of God and His creation.

Even the parts of creation we can’t see reflect God’s glory and power. His glory surrounds us. No matter what we’re going through, God is working, even when we can’t see it and don’t understand. Let’s praise Him today, for “He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted” (Job 5:9).

Today’s Reflection
Lord, thank You for the detail You put into creation and for being at work even when we can’t see it.

Topic: Just Do It [Kenneth Copeland Devotional 29 January 2019]

And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people, There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. – Luke 13:14

Religion is dangerous. Religion would rather debate about healing than see somebody healed. Religion would rather argue about deliverance than see someone set free.

You can see an example of that in Luke 13. Jesus healed a woman who had been bowed over for 18 years. Think of it, a dear old woman—a daughter of Abraham Jesus called her—set free after being bound by the devil for nearly two decades. You’d think the temple rulers would have been rejoicing at what Jesus had done. But, no! They were angry because He’d done it on the wrong day.

Do you know what’s worse? Those very same religious leaders who criticized Jesus for healing on the Sabbath could have ministered healing to that woman themselves on any of the other six days of the week if they’d cared enough to do it.

That’s why Jesus was so indignant with them. They had the same covenant of Abraham that Jesus was ministering on. But their religion had kept that woman bound instead of setting her free. It always does.

Remember that next time someone tries to get you sidetracked into a religious debate about healing or deliverance. If someone needs to be delivered from a demon, just do it! Don’t get all hung up on theological questions about where the demon is.

“Is it in his body? Or his brain? Or his spirit? Or his pocket?” While you’re arguing about questions like that, the demon will be driving the poor guy up the wall.

The question isn’t, “Where is the demon?” The question is, “Why haven’t we gotten this man delivered? He’s our blood brother in the Name of Jesus and he ought to be free!”

Once you start asking that question, you won’t care whether that demon is inside or outside, hovering over or sitting under. All you’ll care about is getting that person free!

That’s the difference between religion and the love of God. Religion argues. Love acts. Choose love today.

Topic: Sharing Our Faith [Andrew Wommack Devotional 29 January 2019]

John 1:41, “He first findeth his own brother Simon, and saith unto him, We have found the Messias, which is, being interpreted, the Christ.”

Text: John 1:37-42

Andrew was the first disciple of Jesus to share his faith and bring another to Christ. And look who it was that he brought.

Peter became one of the greatest apostles of Jesus. He preached on the day of Pentecost and saw 3,000 born again. He healed a lame man at the gate of the temple and 5,000 were born again as a result. He raised Dorcas from the dead, introduced Christianity to the Gentiles, and wrote two books of the Bible which have ministered to millions of people through the centuries.

Just think of how many millions of people Peter touched, and Andrew was responsible for it all. The accomplishments of Peter recorded in scripture, far outnumber those of Andrew, and yet without Andrew, Peter would not have known Jesus.

In the eyes of God, what Andrew did was just as important as what Peter did. As the one who introduced Peter to Jesus, Andrew had a part in every exploit of Peter. In the day when we receive our rewards from the Lord, Andrew will share in every reward that Peter receives.

Very few of us will shake our world as Peter did his, but all of us are called to share our faith with others as Andrew did. And who knows? One of those that you reach could be the next Peter.

Topic: Share What He Has Done [Billy Graham Devotional 29 January 2019]

I will declare thy name unto my brethren . . . — Psalm 22:22

There are those near you in your own community who need the regenerating power of Christ. You can call them by name. I suggest that you make a list and begin by spending time in prayer for them.

Ask God to show you how to witness to them and how to win them. Their lives can be transformed by the message you give them. You are to share this Gospel you have received. If Christ has done anything for you, then share it. In so doing, you are showing mercy! As you have received the mercy of God by the forgiveness of sin and the promise of eternal life-thus you are to show mercy! And in showing mercy you will not only receive mercy but you will find a stimulating happiness!

Prayer for the day: As I close my eyes in prayer, let me see the faces of those who need to know You, beloved Savior.
