TOPIC: Indispensable Circumcision (DCLM Daily Manna 13 July 2025)
KEY VERSE: “And the LORD thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live” (Deuteronomy 30:6).
TEXT: Deuteronomy 30:1-6 (KJV)
1 And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath driven thee,
2 And shalt return unto the Lord thy God, and shalt obey his voice according to all that I command thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine heart, and with all thy soul;
3 That then the Lord thy God will turn thy captivity, and have compassion upon thee, and will return and gather thee from all the nations, whither the Lord thy God hath scattered thee.
4 If any of thine be driven out unto the outmost parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee:
5 And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the land which thy fathers possessed, and thou shalt possess it; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above thy fathers.
6 And the Lord thy God will circumcise thine heart, and the heart of thy seed, to love the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, that thou mayest live.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Beyond the rhetoric of mere claim and profession of holiness experience, the Lord desires to purge and cleanse true believers and set them free from all inward depravities. Christ’s redemptive work provides not just for our initial experience of salvation and freedom from outward sins but also for the purification of our hearts so that we can be free within and without, qualifying for heaven.

Israel was saved and experienced supernatural wonders in the wilderness; their attitudes in times of need and trials revealed their inward corruption and need for heart circumcision. Therefore, God promised to circumcise their heart so they could love Him wholly. Our initial experience of salvation is not enough; we need the experience if we want to see God. It is imperative and indispensable.
For the children of Israel not to get it wrong through misbehaviour after the Lord restores them from captivity, God says He would circumcise their hearts and those of their offspring. Christ teaches that all evils stem from within. If that fountain can be cleansed, man has excellent hope of shunning thoughts that lead him to acts of disobedience to the laws of his Creator. After salvation, the Lord expects us to have a purged inner being wholly disconnected from selfishness and worldliness.

We cannot, on our own, overcome these traits unless we allow the Lord. Genuine conversion and heart circumcision give us victory over acts such as anger, malice, unforgiving nature, disobedience to God’s word, lust, greed, selfishness, self-exaltation, etc. It is a contradiction in terms to claim to be a Christian and still be under the control of these vices.
No one with this baggage can be in God’s company, here or in His kingdom. The world is not at ease because of the influence of these satanic tendencies. We must fervently seek God for the experience of circumcision of the heart because without it, “no man shall see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14). All who desire this glorious work of grace after salvation must acknowledge their inadequacy and imperfection, submit and surrender all to God, humbly pray in faith for the provision, and their desire shall be granted.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Heart circumcision confers inner purity and beauty.

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)
