DCLM Higher Everyday 25 January 2026 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Sons Of God
Topic: Sons Of God
Text: 1 John 3:1-8
1Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
3And every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure.
4Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.
5And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.
6Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him.
7Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous.
8He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.
Key Verse: “Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (1John 3:2).
Message
We naturally become sons and daughters in the biological family by birth without making any choice as to what family to belong to. However, we can only become part of God’s Kingdom by choice through genuine experience of salvation offered to us by our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. The word ‘sons’ used in the Scriptures is a generic word for sons and daughters. As sons of God, He has given us power over sin as sin is not expected to dwell in our mortal body.

There is still room for you today if you are yet to become one of the sons or daughters of God. Surrender your life to Christ today and be listed among the children of God. Only enlisted children of God will enjoy all the benefits He has made available for the redeemed.

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)
