DCLM Higher Everyday 3 December 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — An Evil Heart Of Unbelief

Topic: An Evil Heart Of Unbelief

Text: Hebrew 3:7-13

7Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,

8Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:

9When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.

10Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.

11So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)

12Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God.

13But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

Key Verse: “Take heed brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God” (Hebrews 3:12).

Message

Our heart is the Centre of all activities. Jesus says “from within, out of the hearts of men proceed evil thought which defile the man.” Any sin committed originates from the heart. No wonder the Scripture says, “keep thy heart with all diligence, for out of it are the issues of life” (Proverbs 4:23). From today’s text the Lord is admonishing us not to harden our hearts as the children of Israel did on their way to the Promise Land. Majority of them did not get there because of the evil heart of unbelief that made them to depart from the living God.

As children of God, we are on our way to our Promise Land (heaven). The Lord is warning us not to follow the same route as they did. This can attract the judgment of God. If you have been manifesting an evil heart of unbelief, the Lord wants you to repent and make your way right with Him. A heart darkened by unbelief and sin can be purged by the precious blood of Jesus.

Quote: Majority of them did not get there

Challenge: An evil heart of unbelief leads to backsliding.

Prayer for today: Lord, take away an evil heart of unbelief from me.

GOSPEL REALM: STEPS TO SALVATION
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)
