TOPIC: Made Vulnerable! (DCLM Daily Manna 14 February 2026)
KEY VERSE: “All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers” (Jeremiah 50:7).
TEXT: Jeremiah 50:1-8 (KJV)
1 The word that the Lord spake against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by Jeremiah the prophet.
2 Declare ye among the nations, and publish, and set up a standard; publish, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
3 For out of the north there cometh up a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell therein: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
4 In those days, and in that time, saith the Lord, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the Lord their God.
5 They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
6 My people hath been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.
7 All that found them have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of justice, even the Lord, the hope of their fathers.
8 Remove out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the he goats before the flocks.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
There are startling records of individuals, groups and nations that were once considered strong, impregnable and unconquerable but came tumbling down like a pack of cards due to internal weaknesses and decay. The Soviet Union (USSR), once a superpower, collapsed in 1991 due to internal weaknesses and external pressures. Some of the key internal factors include endemic corruption and cronyism within the system, economic stagnation, the refusal to embrace change, and tensions arising from the various ethnic groups that made up the union, among other factors. These internal weaknesses were further worsened by external pressures, leading to the final collapse of the union.
Our text focuses on the promised return of the nation of Israel to their land after captivity and the predicted collapse and judgment of Babylon. However, our attention is drawn to what made the nation of Israel vulnerable and succumb to defeat in the first place. The reason is so apparent: “because they have sinned against the LORD…” The once strong and unconquerable nation of Israel became weak and defeated by their enemies because they sinned against God and corrupted themselves with idolatry and all forms of abominations. Sin took their strength and defence away, leaving them open to all forms of attacks and harassment from the enemy nations.
Sin makes the Christian vulnerable. It strips him of all strength and removes the divine shield, leaving him at the cruel mercies of the “roaring lions” lurking around and seeking opportunities to pounce and devour him. The Christian remains strong and unconquerable as long as he lives in full obedience to God’s word and continues in righteousness. But the moment he begins to flirt with sin, take the grace of God for granted, and neglect prayers and the fellowship of God’s people, he becomes weak and open to defeat.
The secret of staying strong and remaining unconquerable as Christians is avoiding sin. No amount of praying and fasting, no powerful online or offline prayer altar or “prayer contractor”, no show of spiritual zeal and devotion, nothing at all can shield the sinning Christian from the attacks and onslaughts of the enemies, except the mercy and the grace of God alone. The secret of remaining strong and invincible is simple: stay away from sin! If you are already backslidden, you are treading on a dangerous path. Repent and return to the Lord without a moment’s delay. If you delay your complete repentance and restitution, no one can guarantee what happens the next moment.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Sin opens the back door of your life to the devil.
