DCLM Daily Manna 14 April 2026 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Made Alive in Christ
TOPIC: Made Alive in Christ (DCLM Daily Manna 14 April 2026)
KEY VERSE: “And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses” (Colossians 2:13).
TEXT: Colossians 2:13-19 (KJV)
13And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses;
15And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it.
16Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days:
17Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ.
18Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Proper knowledge and understanding of oneself, status and standing is crucial for living a fulfilling and empowered life. Being aware of one’s position and rights helps one to be better equipped to navigate life’s challenges, assert oneself and live an overcoming life. Apostle Paul recognises the importance of properly knowing oneself and status. This is why he tried to make the Colossian believers understand their new position in Christ. He highlights the transformation the new believer experiences, going from a state of spiritual death to a new life. Having been made alive in Christ, all debts of sin are forgiven and cancelled, and the powers of darkness are defeated and rendered useless for him. Now, he can live in daily triumph, and there is no reason to subject himself to deceptive philosophies and teachings based on human traditions instead of the truth of Christ.

We are cheated in life when we do not know who we are as Christians. Many are still ignorant. It is this lack of knowledge that the devil exploits to bring such Christians into captivity. It is also why many fall prey to false prophets and deceivers, and stagnate in spiritual growth. Having a proper awareness as believers gives us liberty and helps us to triumph over all foes. We move from being dead in sin to being alive in Christ. By this translation, we no longer become subject to the powers of darkness that oppressed us while we were sinners. We no longer carry the guilt and condemnation of sin; we become complete in Christ. All that we will ever need is fully provided for in Christ.

This is the true picture of every Christian. Do not allow the devil to make you believe otherwise. It is an aberration for anyone who claims to have given his life to Christ to remain captive to sin, the devil, and the powers of darkness. It is essential for every believer to continuously read the Bible to discover who they are and what they have in Christ. It also highlights the importance of being in the right place of worship, where the full-orbed truth of Scripture is taught. The devil does not engage with a believer who is fully aware of their standing in Christ and fully armed with the truth of the Scripture.

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)
