DCLM Higher Everyday 9 January 2026 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Santity in His Sanctuary
Topic: Santity in His Sanctuary
Text: 1 Timothy 3:14-16
14These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:
16And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
Memory Verse: “But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth” (1 Timothy 3:15).
Message
“Sanctity is not a luxury for the few, but a simple duty for you and me,” submitted Mother Teresa. It refers to holiness, purity and reverence for God. In the Old Testament, Uzzah touched the Ark of Covenant out of an ungodly zeal and God struck him dead for failing to respect His precept on the sanctity of the Ark of Covenant. This story reminds us of the holiness of God’s presence. Just as the Ark of Covenant was holy, the Church and our lives must be holy to reflect reverence for God’s sanctuary.

In the New Testament, the sanctuary refers to the church, the house of God which is the pillar and ground of Truth. The Church is sacred, a place where believers come together to worship, learn, reflect on God’s holiness and uphold sanctity through our conduct, teaching, and relationship. Living by the truth of the gospel honours God and strengthens the body of Christ. The Church is not just a building, but a community called to live in reverence to God’s holiness. Let us honour God’s sanctuary.
QUOTE: Let is honour God’s sanctuary
PRAYER: Lord, please help me to sanctify my body, which is your temple.
CHALLENGE: The house of God is a place of holiness.
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)
