DCLM Daily Manna 28 June 2021 – Declaring The Vision written by Pastor W.F Kumuyi
DCLM DAILY MANNA FOR MONDAY 28TH JUNE 2021
TOPIC: DECLARING THE VISION
TEXT: Acts 26:13-29
KEY VERSE: “And as he thus spake for himself, Festus said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad. But he said, I am not mad, most noble Festus; but speak forth the words of truth and soberness.” – (Acts 26:24,25)
Historical sources say that William Carey was one of God’s giants in the history of evangelism. A shoemaker by trade, he later became a scholar, linguist and missionary par excellence by God’s training. A critic once told him “Sit down young man! When God purposes to save the heathen, He will do it without your help!” Yes, God could do that without Carey’s help, but He did not, but chose him despite his inadequacies.
Carey had love for Christ and a deep compassion for the unsaved in distant lands. He went on to become one of the greatest missionaries to India. From the text, Paul the apostle had been given a chance to declare the gospel and defend his vision before King Agrippa and Festus, the Roman governor. After giving a persuasive and Spirit’s inspired message, Festus blurted: “thou art beside thyself; much learning doth make thee mad!”

Paul’s speech came with sober vehemence that the king had to make a sincere confession because he was being touched by the fire of God’s word. Paul, like Prophet Jeremiah carried fire in his bones. How can a man hide the flames of God’s fiery word in his bosom or business when his soul is actually set ablaze? Men of vision draw their strength from a higher and greater source.
Though critics and mockers may stop at nothing in their bid to discredit the gospel of Christ or to hinder the vision bearers, no one can break a man who draws his strength from God. Paul did not allow his critics or seeming sympathizers to deter him or his life’s calling. He continued to the end; and so must we.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Declare the Word and it shall stand.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: 1 Kings 17-18
