TOPIC: In Heaven’s Account (DCLM Daily Manna 18 March 2022)
TEXT: Matthew 10:16-33 (KJV)
16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
22 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.
24 The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
25 It is enough for the disciple that he be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more shall they call them of his household?
26 Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
29 Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.
30 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
31 Fear ye not therefore, ye are of more value than many sparrows.
32 Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven.
33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
KEY VERSE: “But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.” – (Matthew 10:19)
MESSAGE:
The nations of this world are aware that soldiers, despite their intensive professional training and competence, cannot equip themselves for the battle to defend their countries’ territorial integrity. The government that sends the military to war takes responsibility for kitting them to fight on the people’s behalf. It is an expensive exercise, gulping millions to put boots to work on the warfront in the service of the land.

When Jesus Christ sent His disciples on a greater warfare, a spiritual one, He made it clear to them not to be anxious about the challenges ahead and the cost of overcoming them. He empowered them with power to “preach…heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, (and) cast out devils.” The Lord did that before warning of dangers that lay ahead.
The rules of the game have not changed several centuries after. Christ wants us to know that because “no man goeth a warfare any time at his own charges”, we should perform our work in the harvesting of souls by putting the bill in heaven’s account. Nothing is too costly for heaven in the course of fulfilling the great commission.
If God could surrender His only Son to redeem lost man and assure us of the backing of His vast physical and spiritual arsenal if we enlist in His evangelism army, we should not hesitate to invest our lives and resources in the soul-winning business. He has us covered. Let us go out today to preach the gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit who lives in us so that souls can be rescued from perishing in eternal hell.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Enlist in God’s evangelism army today.
