DCLM Daily Manna 20 June 2021 – Danger In Departing From God

DCLM Daily Manna 20 June 2021 by Pastor W.F Kumuyi

One of the most exceptional thing about God is that He will not compel anyone to obey Him. He leaves all men to act as they deem fit. Equally remarkable is the fact that He does not impose His just punishment on people as soon as they offend Him. He leaves them with a long lease of freedom, in the hope that they would retrace their steps and get back to the right track. Sadly, many do not pay attention but continue on the downward slope to destruction.

The Psalmist was not like them. He was gripped by fear of the consequences of sin. As a result, he filled his heart with love for the word of God. He made God his refuge and shield, broke off all association with evildoers, and publicly declared his preference for living according to God’s holy standard.

Apart from having hope in time and eternity, those who stand on God’s word would never experience shame. True security is found in the Lord, but those that disobey His word and live in wickedness, would be judged by Him. They can deceive themselves, but cannot successfully mock God. The realization that judgment awaits all who trifle with God should make everyone to submit totally to Him.

We should know that there is no room for double mindedness or wavering between two opinions when it comes to obedience to God. He does not accept any neutral position; one is either on His side or against Him. To reject God and disobey His words is fatal and has frightening consequences, because “it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God” (Hebrews 10:31).

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Those who walk away from God get lost in the maze of the world.

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 1-2
