TOPIC: House Cleansing (DCLM Daily Manna 26 May 2025)
KEY VERSE: “And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron” (2 Chronicles 29:16).
TEXT: 2 Chronicles 29:12-19 (KJV)
12 Then the Levites arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites: and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalelel: and of the Gershonites; Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah:
13 And of the sons of Elizaphan; Shimri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zechariah, and Mattaniah:
14 And of the sons of Heman; Jehiel, and Shimei: and of the sons of Jeduthun; Shemaiah, and Uzziel.
15 And they gathered their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king, by the words of the Lord, to cleanse the house of the Lord.
16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of the Lord, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the Lord into the court of the house of the Lord. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad into the brook Kidron.
17 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the Lord: so they sanctified the house of the Lord in eight days; and in the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and said, We have cleansed all the house of the Lord, and the altar of burnt offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the shewbread table, with all the vessels thereof.
19 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away in his transgression, have we prepared and sanctified, and, behold, they are before the altar of the Lord.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
House cleaning is an old and beneficial practice whose essence is beyond maintaining the visual appeal of living space. It involves proper cleaning and organisation of the environment and other measures taken to enhance health, well-being, safety, and aesthetics. Neglect of this often proves disastrous in the end.
King Hezekiah embarked on a unique sort of house cleansing as soon as he ascended the throne. He opened the door of the temple that his father had shut and sought a return to the true worship of God. He summoned the Levites whose duty it was to keep the temple, and charged them to cleanse the house of God, recognising that his father perpetrated so much evil there.

The Levites were prompt in their response; they gathered, and underwent a process of personal cleansing first, recognising that those who come to equity must come with clean hands. They then proceeded into the inner parts of the temple and discovered monumental uncleanness there. They brought out those unclean things and dumped them in the river, Kidron. It took all of eight days for the house, the altar, and all the vessels to be cleansed. Once done, they informed the king that the task had been accomplished, and the temple was now ready for the service of the Lord.
As believers, we need a similar cleansing, not of the physical temple but of ourselves as the temples of the Holy Ghost. We can no longer lay claim to our lives, nor can we do as we please. God distastes any form of impurity in our lives. As we examine ourselves, if we perceive any uncleanness, we must take steps immediately to be cleansed by acknowledging (not rationalizing), confessing, and relinquishing our hold on sin. The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. Constantly doing this is the only way to maintain sound spiritual health, well-being, and safety.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
There is no greater treasure than a pure heart.
