DCLM Daily Manna 22 November 2021
TOPIC: Will You Listen?
TEXT: Jeremiah 6:9-17
Key Verse: Jeremiah 6:10
“To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.”
DCLM Daily Manna Devotional MESSAGE:
Every advertisement on cigarette always ends with the warning note: “Smokers are liable to die young”. Despite this, millions of people still ignore the caution and move on with their smoking habit. Since they choose to damn the warnings, the consequences of their actions eventually damn them. The prophet Jeremiah was disturbed by the deliberate decisions of the people of Judah not to pay attention to the warnings from God.
He had been sending them warnings regarding the impending judgment to come upon them because of their sinful acts and atrocities. Since they chose not to listen to the warnings from God but preferred the flatteries and lies of their false prophets and deceivers, there was no way they would escape God’s judgment.
It is equally disturbing that we have so many people in the church with this stubborn and very adamant spirit like the people in Jeremiah’s day. In spite of the clear and straight forward teachings of the word of God condemning all forms of ungodly lifestyles, we still find them holding on to these lifestyles. They seem to have deliberately tuned their minds off the words of God.
They ignore the old path of righteousness and holiness set up by God and prefer all forms of perversion, ungodliness and worldly lifestyle. They care less about the judgment of God or consider it as false. Unfortunately, there are so many preachers and ministers by their messages and lifestyles promote these evil practices. We must note that people’s refusal to believe and accept the word of God does not change its authenticity. It will not also avert or stop the judgment from coming. If you stubbornly refuse to accept the word of God and pattern your life after His standard, you will be sure to face His judgment. To escape it, listen and take heed today!
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Don’t reject warnings meant for your good.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ezekiel 39-42
