DCLM Sincere Milk 15 September 2026 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — True Riches In God’s Word
Topic: True Riches In God’s Word
Bible Reading: 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 (KJV)
1Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,
3Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
4I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;
5That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;
6Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:
7So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:
8Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
KEY VERSE: “That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge.” 1 Corinthians 1:5
Message
A rich man wanted to show his son how poor someone can be without Christ. He took him on a trip to a village. After they had spent time on the farm of a poor family, he asked his son, “what did you learn?” His son replied, “we have one dog, they have four, we buy foods, they grow theirs, we have walls to protect us, they have friends; we have encyclopedias, they have Bible”.
What a great lesson! Most children derive pleasure in extra home lessons; birthday parties and television shows than studying God’s Word or attending Church Programmes. Some lack the ability to memorize God’s word. They rather know cartoon characters, music artist and memorizing worldly songs.
While others take pride in the big houses and cars their parents own. The life of every child is empty without Christ. Earthly riches will vanish over time.
True riches lie in God’s Word. Therefore, give yourself to studying the word and memorizing it. Let the word dwell in you, therein lies your riches in Christ Jesus.
Oh Lord! Grant me the desire and grace to feed more on Your word.

John 15:1-7
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)
