TOPIC: Triumph Of Moral Courage (DCLM Daily Manna 11 June 2025)
KEY VERSE: “And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men’s bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem” (2 Kings 23:20).
TEXT: 2 Kings 23:15-20 (KJV)
15 Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both that altar and the high place he brake down, and burned the high place, and stamped it small to powder, and burned the grove.
16 And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount, and sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and polluted it, according to the word of the Lord which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these words.
17 Then he said, What title is that that I see? And the men of the city told him, It is the sepulchre of the man of God, which came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Bethel.
18 And he said, Let him alone; let no man move his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.
19 And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the Lord to anger, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Bethel.
20 And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there upon the altars, and burned men’s bones upon them, and returned to Jerusalem.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Luther Burbank, the great naturalist, always studied nature with his microscope. Someone asked him, “Why are you out of step with the world?”; He answered, “ I’m not out of step. I’m walking to the beat of another drum”. When you are devoted to doing what is right and disregarding what men are saying about you, there is the triumph of moral courage- Phillip Brooks. Only courage and faith will triumph where fear and timidity fail. It takes intuitiveness, the purpose of heart, personal conviction and determination to withstand the hordes of evil in any society or community. Unarguably, the world lieth in wickedness. Surprisingly, many are befriending the world that crucified their Lord and Saviour. They forget God’s counsel through the Apostle James, ”Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? Whosoever, therefore, will be a friend of the world is an enemy of God”.

Continuing what he began at the beginning of his reform, Josiah swiped at the ungodly strongholds established by his forebears. (Jeroboam, Manasseh and Amon, his father). He destroyed Jeroboam’s altar and high places in Bethel, as predicted three hundred years before his birth. He also destroyed the high places in all of Samaria and killed the idolatrous priests (2 Kings 23:15-17; 1 Kings 13:2,3).
God’s prophecies are not a figment of the human carnal, corrupt, selfish mind; they are His breath upon the holy and chosen men who wrote as His Spirit influenced them. (2 Timothy 3:16,17; 2 Peter 1:20,21). As stated above, the fulfilment of the prophecy concerning Josiah shows the following about God’s words or prophecies: they are inerrant, unalterable, unmodifiable, constant, consistent, infallible, dependable, and immutable as God himself. His words are eternal as God. They are creative and life transforming. They solve all human needs and problems irrespective of who, when, and where. These should assure you that none can alter God’s purposes for your life.
As believers, we should hold onto all promises of God because they are reliable. Leveraging Josiah’s bold step of exterminating evil in his kingdom, saints and ministers of God should courageously stand for the truth, stamp out all kinds of evil practices around their places of influence, and rest assured that none can harm them.
