TOPIC: Amazing Love (DCLM Daily Manna 5 May 2025)
KEY VERSE: “I have loved you, saith the LORD. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the LORD: yet I loved Jacob” (Malachi 1:2).
TEXT: Malachi 1:1-5 (KJV)
1 The burden of the word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.
2 I have loved you, saith the Lord. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob’s brother? saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob,
3 And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, The border of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord hath indignation for ever.
5 And your eyes shall see, and ye shall say, The Lord will be magnified from the border of Israel.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
In our materialistic age, the word love has been grossly misapplied. It has been domiciled in a world system and has acquired all sorts of immoral and perverse meanings. This is a most unkind twist. Why? Because God Himself is the source and embodiment of true love. The Bible says that God is Love. From time to time, He has demonstrated this affection towards mankind. His giving His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ, for our redemption reflects the true meaning of His love for the world.

Prophet Malachi narrates the moving story of God’s great love for Israel. Between Israel and his twin brother, Esau, the Lord prefers the former. “Yet I loved Jacob.” After his rejection, Esau (Edom) threatens to defy the Lord and build up what God brought down, and the Lord says, “They shall build, but I will throw down.” It is a love for His people that has been sustained from generation to generation.
Those God has chosen, He loves exceptionally and offers an invincible defence for such. He goes to any length to demonstrate this depthless fondness. It is this incomprehensible tenderness that all sincere followers of His Beloved Son Jesus Christ enjoy as long as they give Him reciprocal adoration. But it is not only the standing believers who can benefit from God’s benevolence. Sinners and backsliders who renounce their ways and penitently go to Him for pardon, cleansing, and rest are welcome.

The Church, which has been enjoying Christ’s great love through the ages, is looking forward to the final fulfillment of the expression of this true love as He comes to take His own to heaven to be with Him forever. This is a wake-up call for us to be more sincere and zealous in our toil for Him in return, not only for the promise of heaven but also for the providence of His protection, preservation, and provision we receive here in this life as a result of His incomprehensible love.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
No scale is big enough to measure the love of God for His people.

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)
