DCLM DAILY MANNA FOR MONDAY 12TH JULY 2021

DCLM Daily Manna 12 July 2021 Today Outline:
Hatred is the precursor to violence but it is instructive to state that the one who manifests hatred toward others end up injuring himself more than the target of his hatred. Adolf Hitler, because of his hatred for the Jewish race, worked assiduously towards wiping out the people. He deployed several wicked strategies and went everywhere to capture and bring the them to concentration camps to be killed in what was referred to as holocaust. He succeeded in killing over six million Jews worldwide but ended unceremoniously by committing suicide while his accomplices were sentenced to different jail terms.
Today’s passage opens with the controversy God had with Edom as a nation for his violence against his vulnerable brother, Jacob. Aside taking advantage of Jacob by blocking the way of those escaping from danger, Edom also looked away from the need to help Jacob but rather colluded with the enemy to bring him down. God hates violence in whatever form. It is sin and will attract its due reward as was the case with Edom.
Today DCLM Daily Manna for Monday 12th July 2021
Violence is a clear evidence of an unregenerate soul and it is reflected when an individual is glad at the misfortune of others, or tries to take advantage of a vulnerable person. A believer must not take advantage of others in his workplace, business, church or the neighbourhood and should not join others in riotous behaviour that could lead to the destruction of life and properties.
Deliverance and freedom from violent acts lie in approaching the Saviour who gives pardon and releases from guilt with the privilege of holiness of life and recovery of lost grounds. Repentance from violence will definitely avert the retribution that awaits all wicked souls.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Violence is alien to those who have visited Calvary.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 2 Kings 24-25
