DCLM Daily Manna 11 June 2021 Devotional – Selfless Ministry
TODAY DCLM DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR FRIDAY 11TH JUNE 2021 WRITTEN BY PASTOR W. F. KUMUYI
TOPIC: SELFLESS MINISTRY
TEXT: ROMANS 15:23-30
Key Verse: “But now I go unto Jerusalem to minister unto the saints” (Romans 15:25).
TODAY’S DCLM DAILY MANNA OUTLINE: Paul, in the passage today, demonstrated how dedicated and addicted he was to the service of the Lord. He was committed to preaching the gospel anywhere, everywhere as well as ministering to the needs of the saints. Through his singular effort and in partnership with others of like-precious faith, he spared no effort, nor counted any sacrifice too dear to make in order to ensure the spread of the gospel. He did not consider any distance too long from Rome to Spain via Jerusalem having touched all areas in the Roman empire.
Paul was full of enthusiasm, hope and high expectations as he trusted in Him who has said, “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world”. He was also resilient; not reclining when he suffered any setback. Even his foreknowledge of possible danger from them that do not believe did not make him to recoil. All these and more are the secrets of his ministerial successes.
It demonstrate the spirit all evangelists should have. Many churches and ministries concentrate today on cities where the land had been cultivated and the work of evangelism is less challenging and quickly ‘rewarding’. Individuals tend to avoid challenging terrains when on evangelistic outreaches. Sadly, evangelism is not included in the ever-busy schedules of some Christians today.
They are always too busy with secular work that has no eternal value. Yet “Only one life… only what’s done for Christ will last!” Paul’s life is a challenge to an average Christian today. He was a man of like-passion but was successful in ministering because he counted all but dung for the glory of God. He was ready to go anywhere God led. We may not always know where He will lead us to but the choice is ours to follow.
Thought for Today: When He leads, we surely can never be misled.
