DCLM Daily Manna 11 December 2024 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — The Great Final Convocation
Topic: The Great Final Convocation
Text: Revelation 20:11-15
11And I saw a great white throne, and him that sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away; and there was found no place for them.
13And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
14And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
15And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
Key Verse: “And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works” (Revelation 20:12).
Message
The largest gathering of people recorded worldwide was in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, India, on February 10, 2013. Reportedly boasting a staggering attendance of 120 million, the figure will be dwarfed by the massive assembly of several billions of souls who will show up before the great white throne of God in heaven. At His commandment, they will all mandatorily report from wherever on earth they had been held down by death from the time of man’s creation to the present.

The great white throne judgment in heaven, will be presided over by the impartial Judge, the Lord Himself. All men who lived and died without Christ will be “judged, every man according to their works.” There will be no miscarriage of justice. Man’s imperfections will find no way into this great event in heaven. The “White Throne” indicates a trial and verdict that will not be taintednwith corruption. Volumes of books on all men and their activities will be opened to reveal the truth. On that day, there will be no hiding place for the wicked.
That divine judgment awaits all hereafter with attendant consequences, good or bad, should focus our minds on the need to live as prescribed by God, in His word. Only faithful followers of Christ will be spared of this judgment. Sinners must confess and forsake their sins, receive pardon from Christ and acquittal from all evil. This is the only way to escape this final judgment.

There will be no proceedings based on hearsay, but on the deposition in the books of record that God keeps on every man on earth. The only exceptions to this rule are those whose names are in the book of life. These are people who have been washed in the blood of the Lamb of God. The name of every human being must fall into either of these two sets of books; the books of record or the book of life. Where do you fall? Now is the time to decide.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
In simple terms, you have the power to decide where to spend eternity.

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)
