DCLM Sincere Milk 26 DECEMBER 2021 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — You don’t have all the time
TOPIC: “YOU DON’T HAVE ALL THE TIME”
TEXT: ISAIAH 55:6-11
6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near:
7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.
8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.
9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
Key Verse: “Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near” (Isaiah 55:6).
MESSAGE:
“Dan! Ray! Your food is on the dining table, come and eat”, called out Dan’s mom. Dan left to have his meal, but Ray continued to watch the cartoon and did not eat his food even after being reminded twice. Though he was hungry, he felt he would eat his food at a latter time.

Ray slept off on the couch and woke up around 12:30 a.m. in the midnight, feeling very hungry. He ran to the dining table but the food was no longer there. Ray regretted his action because he had to go to bed hungry.
Some children today behave like Ray. They think they have “all the time” and plan to give their lives to Jesus at a later time. Others postpone praying and reading their Bible for another day. Ray went hungry, not because his mum did not prepare his meal, but because he delayed to go and get it.

Many sinners will go to hell, not because Jesus would not have forgiven them, but because they delayed in giving their lives to Him. Jesus would have saved the two thieves that were crucified beside Him if both of them had repented, but only one of them repented and was forgiven by Jesus.
The people in the time of Noah had enough time to enter the ark before the rain started. Unfortunately, they wasted the chance to be saved and perished.
Why are you not yet a friend of Jesus? Why are you not sanctified and baptized in the Holy Ghost? When will you return that book, pencil, ruler, etc., that is not yours to the rightful owner? Seek ye the Lord while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near.

1. Admit that you are a sinner. "For all [humans] have sinned, and comes short of the glory of God....[and] the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord" (Romans 3:23)
2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
