DCLM Daily Manna 3 February 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Avoid Eternal Regret!
TOPIC: Avoid Eternal Regret! (DCLM Daily Manna 3 February 2025)
KEY VERSE: “See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven” (Hebrews 12:25).
TEXT: Hebrews 12:18-29 (KJV)
18 For ye are not come unto the mount that might be touched, and that burned with fire, nor unto blackness, and darkness, and tempest,
19 And the sound of a trumpet, and the voice of words; which voice they that heard intreated that the word should not be spoken to them any more:
20 (For they could not endure that which was commanded, And if so much as a beast touch the mountain, it shall be stoned, or thrust through with a dart:
21 And so terrible was the sight, that Moses said, I exceedingly fear and quake:)
22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,
23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel.
25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven:
26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven.
27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain.
28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear:
29 For our God is a consuming fire.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
From Pulpit Helps of May 1991 came the following Things You Will Never Regret: showing kindness to an aged person; destroying a letter written in anger; offering an apology that will save a friendship; stopping a scandal that was ruining a reputation; taking time to show consideration to parents, friends, brothers, and sisters; refraining from gossip when others around you delight in it; and refusing to do a thing which is wrong although others do it. No doubt, we all have regrets, like not being a better student, not studying more; not having more self-discipline, or not spending quality time with families; not helping family members, or not being there when other people need our help. These are all temporary regrets that may be fixed with time.

However, the greatest regret every unrepentant sinner will have is to reject Christ as Lord and Saviour now and later realised this grave error when it is already too late. Today’s text has timely counsel for everyone who desires to get to heaven at last. Earlier in Hebrews 12:16, we are warned about the error of Esau; the error of despising what is important while clinging to the ephemeral, only to realise too late that this was one priority wrongly placed. Today, there is an unprecedented increase in the scale of defilement, adultery, fornication, profanity, and greed in different societies all over the world. Happily, Christ’s atonement provides the remedy to escape the impending eternal regret.

Let us all remember that when life on earth is over, there is an eternity awaiting us. Our focus and desire therefore must be heaven where Jesus has gone to prepare a place for us. Heaven must be more important for every living soul than anything else. There is no excuse for anyone to miss this glorious provision, especially when the alternative is not an attractive option.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
The most abundant things in hell are regrets and guilt!

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)
