TOPIC: The Trouble With Partial Obedience (DCLM Daily Manna 30 November 2025)
KEY VERSE: “But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin” (2 Kings 10:31).
TEXT: 2 Kings 10:28-36 (KJV)
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
29 Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Bethel, and that were in Dan.
30 And the Lord said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.
31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.
32 In those days the Lord began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;
33 From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
In th early 2010s, Sarah Thompson who lived in Atlanta, Georgia, USA was described as an active member of her church. She attended services regularly, volunteered in various ministries, and was involved in a small group. However, her commitment to her faith was often overshadowed by her pride and judgmental attitude towards others. She was quick to criticise and slow to forgive, demonstrating a lack of love and compassion. While she was outwardly religious, her heart was far from God. Essentially, Sarah was picking and choosing the aspect of the word of God she would obey. She focuses on external religious practices without cultivating a genuine heart for God.

The narrative about the life and exploits of Jehu represents a practice of incomplete obedience to God. Jehu was given the privilege to ascend the throne almost on a platter of gold with an express command of what to do. He pleased God when he exterminated Baal worship and its prophets in the land of Israel. God acknowledged his exploits and honoured him by offering him four generations of regal rights. That was where it ended because “Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: For he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin” (2 Kings 10:31). Jehu failed in that major detail which mattered most. He only followed the Lord halfway.
The enduring character in a truly regenerated child of God is continual and total obedience to the word of God. To claim that we are redeemed by the blood of Jesus but still choose what is convenient in His word to obey or not, makes our profession false.
We need to resist and reject self-will and self-management by following the Lord wholeheartedly and obeying Him fully. That is the only way we can please Him and be rewarded by God. It is also the only way to earn His commendation rather than condemnation at the end of life.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Partial obedience is another name for disobedience.
