DCLM Daily Manna 15 May 2026 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Honour His Anointed
TOPIC: Honour His Anointed (DCLM Daily Manna 15 May 2026)
KEY VERSE: Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me – Galatians 4:15
TEXT: Galatians 4:14-18 (KJV)
14 And my temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.
15 Where is then the blessedness ye spake of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been possible, ye would have plucked out your own eyes, and have given them to me.
16 Am I therefore become your enemy, because I tell you the truth?
17 They zealously affect you, but not well; yea, they would exclude you, that ye might affect them.
18 But it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing, and not only when I am present with you.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court from 1902 to 1932, was once asked why he was not troubled, attending a small church where the preacher was a most ordinary man with no originality as a thinker. Dr. Holmes gave this fine reply: “I go because I have a little plant called Reverence, and I must need water it once a week or it would die.”

Apostle Paul corrected the Galatian church for the dissipation of the once flourishing virtue amongst them. They once loved and cherished him, but they no longer manifested the same affection towards him for whatever reason(s). The infiltration of false teachers affected them. They no longer loved and appreciated their mentor and spiritual father. Evil communication had corrupted their good manners. Yet they failed to realise that when we honour God’s servants, we honour God. Conversely, dishonouring God’s anointed implies dishonour for God.
Ministers of God are His representatives among men, chosen and anointed as shepherds accountable to Him. God anoints them for His unique service, and we are not allowed to dishonour them. David was smitten in the heart when he cut off the fringe of King Saul’s skirt. He regretted what he did because Saul was God’s anointed. Persecutions and difficulties are no excuses for disobedience. You can always commit your ways to God, the righteous Judge, for mediation and intervention. When believers criticise, speak carelessly, murmur against, or falsely accuse their leaders, they dishonour God’s anointed, and He would not be pleased with them. It is even more delicate when we neglect to obey the word of God they teach us.

On the other hand, believers must be weary of false teachers and prophets who creep into fellowship to corrupt gatherings of saints with pernicious words. Their influence can be very damaging. They beguile unstable souls and make merchandise of the innocent and the gullible. We are not to obey, or follow preachers, who show wrong examples, and aim to turn us away from God.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
It is always profitable to give honour to whom honour is due.

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)
