DCLM Sincere Milk 18 June 2024 Devotional by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Search The Scriptures
Topic: Search The Scriptures
Text: John 5:31-39
31If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
33Ye sent unto John, and he bare witness unto the truth.
34But I receive not testimony from man: but these things I say, that ye might be saved.
35He was a burning and a shining light: and ye were willing for a season to rejoice in his light.
36But I have greater witness than that of John: for the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me.
37And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
Key Verse: “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.” John 5:39
Message
The scriptures are the words of God, they give light to those in darkness and provide solution to every need of man. A song writer wrote thus: “Thy Word is a lamp to my feet, A light to my path always. To guide and to save me from sin, And show me the heavenly way. Thy word have I hid in my heart. That I might not sin against Thee.” Another word for the scriptures is the Bible which is also referred to as the sword of the Spirit. In these scriptures dwell all the things you need for your life and growth.

Prayer for today: Heavenly Father, let Your word dwell richly in my heart.
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)
