DCLM Higher Everyday 11 May 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Endure Till The End
Topic: Endure Till The End
Text: Matthew 10:22-28
22And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.
24The disciple is not above his master, nor the servant above his lord.
25It 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?
26Fear them not therefore: for there is nothing covered, that shall not be revealed; and hid, that shall not be known.
27What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops.
28And 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.
Key Verse: “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake: but he that endureth to the end shall be saved” (Matthew 10:22).
Message
Fauja Singh, is believed to be the oldest man to have completed a full marathon. He did it at the age of 100 years. He was able to endure till the end of the marathon, despite the challenges faced due to his age and certain distractions like the younger and faster people. Our journey as Christians is a marathon, and on this journey, trials, temptations, distractions and persecutions will be encountered, but like Fauja Singh, we should set our sights on the finish line and endure till the end.

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)
