DCLM Daily Manna 11 December 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — What The Dying World Needs

TOPIC: What The Dying World Needs (DCLM Daily Manna 11 December 2025)

KEY VERSE: “He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword” (Job 33:18).

TEXT: Job 33:14-22 (KJV)

14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.

22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:

On his deathbed, Sir Walter Scott, the Scottish poet and novelist, told his secretary: “Bring me the Book!” When asked what book, he replied, “There is but one book… the only Book for a dying man.” Scott was a great Christian who found the Bible, the only Book for a dying manand the only Book for a living man because it is the Word of life and his hope in temptations and death.

Job was not on his deathbed, but he was going through near-death bodily pains and depression after losing all his children,businesses, and property. He also had a supportive wife and friends who could not comfort him in his despair. He needed the God who does not desert those in straits; who has the best soothing counsel and comfort for every discouraged and depressed soul.And that was what Elihu gave him. He spoke of a good Lord who “hide(s) pride from man… (who) keepeth back his soul from the pit and his life from perishing by the sword.”

The world is writhing in regional conflicts, threatening to escalate into a global one, and God’s word is needed for stability. The system that modern civilization has given man has not yielded positive results. Instead, it has brought the world more sorrow, as did Job’s friends. Man is at his wit’s end, unable to help himself. Only a Lord who chastens lovingly can restore hope and life to the world.

This is the message for our world today. We must have the right disposition to invite and embrace God and His teachings into the affairs of our lives and world. Job did not have a reversal of his fortunes until God spoke into his deplorable condition. Let the Church also speak heaven’s message of the new birth and righteousness into the lives of men and women of the world so they can transit from their spiritual deathbeds to life under the watch of Jehovah God.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Use the power of the Living Word to speak life to the dying world.
