DCLM Daily Manna – Retribution For Rebellion

Pastor W. F. Kumuyi

DCLM Daily Manna 22 May 2024 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — “Retribution For Rebellion”

TOPIC: “Retribution For Rebellion” (DCLM Daily Manna 22 May 2024)

KEY VERSE: “And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great” (Revelation 16:21).

TEXT: Revelation 16:13-21 (KJV)

13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.

14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty.

15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.

16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.

17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial into the air; and there came a great voice out of the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, It is done.

18 And there were voices, and thunders, and lightnings; and there was a great earthquake, such as was not since men were upon the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so great.

19 And the great city was divided into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great Babylon came in remembrance before God, to give unto her the cup of the wine of the fierceness of his wrath.

20 And every island fled away, and the mountains were not found.

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heaven, every stone about the weight of a talent: and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail; for the plague thereof was exceeding great.

MESSAGE:

President Bush Snr might have spoken the mind of most conservative Americans stuck with the 1980s junk food culture that has negatively impacted the nation’s health when he said, “I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid. And my mother made me eat it. Now, I’m president of the United States. And I’m not gonna eat any more broccoli”. Though the U.S. spends more on healthcare than other advanced countries around the globe, her health outcomes are worse. Unfortunately, she’s yet to learn from her mistakes.

So it is with the situation in our text. Despite the myriads of warnings from heaven, rulers and people of the world have learnt no lesson about the God who is “a consuming fire”. They remain adamant, kicking against His commandments. Since God’s Spirit shall not always strive with man, swift judgment would rain down upon disobedient men and nations of the world. Plagues would come in succession without restraint.

God has set a day when He will judge humanity. Today, man may appear to be having unrestrained freedom with sin, failing to pay attention to His warning of the coming judgment day. But gradually and certainly, the day of retribution for the rebellion and sinfulness of man is closing in. There will be no way of escape or hiding for the guilty when that day comes.

Today is a day to decide on whose side you will be. Will you choose good or evil, obedience or rebellion against the Almighty? There is no middle ground in this instance. Those on the devil’s side will perish before the devouring fire of God’s judgment while believers in the Lord are guaranteed victory. Isaiah puts it well. The willing and obedient will eat the good of the land while those who rebel “shall be devoured…” (Isaiah 1:19,20).

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
God’s love for His own is boundless; His wrath against His foes, endless.
