DCLM Daily Manna 28 December 2025 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Foolish And Bewitched
TOPIC: Foolish And Bewitched (DCLM Daily Manna 28 December 2025)
KEY VERSE: “O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?” (Galatians 3:1).
TEXT: Galatians 3:1-12 (KJV)
1 O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you?
2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
3 Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?
4 Have ye suffered so many things in vain? if it be yet in vain.
5 He therefore that ministereth to you the Spirit, and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
6 Even as Abraham believed God, and it was accounted to him for righteousness.
7 Know ye therefore that they which are of faith, the same are the children of Abraham.
8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.
9 So then they which be of faith are blessed with faithful Abraham.
10 For as many as are of the works of the law are under the curse: for it is written, Cursed is every one that continueth not in all things which are written in the book of the law to do them.
11 But that no man is justified by the law in the sight of God, it is evident: for, The just shall live by faith.
12 And the law is not of faith: but, The man that doeth them shall live in them.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
The narrative arose from the backdrop of how the gospel was well taught and explained to the Galatian saints. But after Apostle Paul left, Judaizers infiltrated the church of Galatia, distorted his teachings. It was erroneously claimed that salvation was still contingent on circumcision and other legalistic encumbrances of the Old Testament since faith alone was insufficient. They thus downplayed the sufficiency of Christ’s atoning sacrifice and the provisions in the New Testament. Paul was extremely unhappy and surprised about what made the Galatians return to believing they were justified by keeping the Law. The only logical explanation Paul could find was that they were under a spell.

Today’s world is witnessing serious aberrations being embraced by some so-called Christians. Celebrations like Halloween and Valentine’s Day are subtle inventions that many do not realise are ways of diverting people’s attention from God. Halloween is a celebration associated with magic, witchcraft, and occultism. Wiccans, warlocks, witches, and sorcerers commemorate and honour the dead and invoke their ‘gods’ on this day. These people celebrate Halloween with the same enthusiasm as Christians celebrate Christmas. Unsuspecting believers are deceived into believing that Valentine, celebrated every February 14, is a ceremony of love. But experience has shown that the event has often ended in wanton lust and moral defilement. God warns us not to engage in these ungodly and demonic practices, as they attract His displeasure.

As we inch closer to the end of this age, we are witnessing the multiplication of false teachers as predicted by our Lord and the apostles. The scale of deception also often involves telling believers they can live carelessly because grace covers them. We must not be “bewitched” but rather earnestly contend for the faith once delivered to the saints and fight the good fight of faith to defend sound doctrines.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
False doctrines are poisonous and soul-damning!

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)
