DCLM Daily Manna Devotion Topic: SELFISHNESS IS DAMNING

Focal Scripture: Matthew 18:1

“At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”

DCLM Daily Manna Devotional Message 

In his book, “The Purpose Driven Life”, Rich Warren says, Focusing on ourselves will never reveal our life’s purpose. Until we understand that our lives begin with God as Creator and exist only because God wills it so, life will never make sense. We were made by God and for God”.

The text centres on the question the disciples of Jesus asked Him: “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?” In response, Christ called a little child unto Him and told them that except they are converted and become like little children, they cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven. He that receives a little child in His name actually receives Him.

The disciples of Jesus had from time to time argued about who should b

e the greatest among them (Mark 9:33,34). Even the sons of Zebedee, James and John, had to employ the service of their mother to press further their desire (Matthew 20:20-22). The question they asked here was no doubt motivated by “self”. This carnal nature was eventually subdued when they became sanctified (Acts 2:1).

Self gives rise to strife, envy, discord, judgmental attitude, resentment and all kinds of distortions. It brings disorder and chaos to an otherwise peaceful and cordial atmosphere and relationship. Self is pride-motivated. It pays for man to realise that whatever he has – wealth, wisdom, beauty, strength, intelligence, anointing, etc. – is given to him by God. Therefore, he must not “think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith” (Romans 12:3).

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Heaven belongs to the humble.
