KEY VERSE: Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after – Colossians 2:8
TEXT: Colossians 2:8-12 (KJV)
8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
11 In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ:
12 Buried with him in baptism, wherein also ye are risen with him through the faith of the operation of God, who hath raised him from the dead.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
The tragic hijacking of Ethiopian Airlines Flight 961 on November 23, 1996, caught the aviation industry and the whole world unawares. The flight took off from Addis Ababa, bound for Nairobi. Midway, some hijackers who posed as regular travellers like others seized control of the plane and forced the pilots to divert towards Australia, even though they were running low on fuel. The plane eventually crashed in the Indian Ocean in the Comoros Islands, killing many people.

Apostle Paul also warned Christians in Colosse not to allow spiritual hijackers to take them hostage. He warned strongly against false teachers who spread misleading doctrines, confusing upcoming believers in Christ. While new Christian converts naturally seek spiritual growth and thirst for a deeper knowledge of God, they can easily become vulnerable. False teachers, much like skyjackers, employ human traditions, worldly philosophies, persuasive speech, intellectual charm, counterfeit miracles, and sinister social media tactics to ensnare and exploit individuals.

So, what’s the best defence against spiritual hijackers? Know the truth and be steadfastly committed to Christ in whom the fullness of the Godhead dwells bodily. Believers are complete in Christ. Therefore, do not seek spiritual experiences outside Him and the boundaries of Scripture. Christ’s sacrifice is more than enough for our salvation. Any teaching that undermines His redemptive work or suggests some false add-ons, rituals, or human formulas is to be rejected. In these days of increasing spiritual deception, God calls believers to be vigilant and discerning. Christian leaders must also pay attention to maturing God’s flock, focusing on Christ’s finished work rather than human contrivances. Jesus is sufficient for every need, and He is the answer to every question.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
Every faith foundation outside Christ is sinking sand.

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)
