TOPIC: Sanctified For Service (DCLM Daily Manna 2 November 2024)
KEY VERSE: “And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged. Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me” (Isaiah 6:7,8).
TEXT: Isaiah 6:1-8 (KJV)
1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts.
6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Rev. R. S. Jones was a missionary with many years of Christian service in Brazil. In 1936, he returned to the United States of America on vacation due to ill health, never to return to his beloved mission field. At the Southern Baptist Convention that year, B. B. McKinney, a songwriter, visited and asked him about his plans. Jones replied with tears, “I don’t know, but wherever He leads, I’ll go.” This expression led to the birth of the gospel song of consecration, “Wherever He leads, I’ll go.” God needs more Joneses today who are surrendered, sanctified and ready for service.

In our text, Isaiah had an encounter with the almighty God and then, he discovered his depravity. Before this encounter, he had preached and called people to repentance, prophesied of Christ’s Kingdom and forewarned the people of the terrible day of the Lord. Despite his years of preaching experience, he understood that all would be lost without holiness. He came out of self-deceit, and his self-realization led him to spiritual actualization and renewed commission.
From Isaiah’s experience, we see that the call to conversion and consecration must precede the call to commission: “If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet for the master’s use, and prepared unto every good work” (2 Timothy 2:21).
Isaiah responded promptly to God’s call to service: “who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me.” So must every purged and sanctified saint respond to the call of God because, without purifying and sanctification experience, all will be lost.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

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)
