DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
These days, almost everything can be faked. Some fakes look so real that it is difficult to differentiate them from the original. However, there is always something that makes an original unique. In this regard, John Mason, an author and minister, observed that “an original is hard to find but easy to recognize.”

Apostle Paul was original. In today’s text, he provides proof of his spiritual integrity. The apostle wrote this second epistle to the church in Corinth partly to refute some unfounded allegations and slander against his person. Some persons in the church had insinuated that the apostle was unreliable for not keeping his promise of visiting them. Refuting the accusation, he rejoiced because his conscience witnessed right intentions and actions. He pointed out that their conduct and lifestyle had been characterised by “simplicity and godly sincerity” and not by the cunningness and duplicity of the carnal man who the Holy Spirit does not govern.
In this text, we find certain qualities that authenticate the genuineness of Christian living, namely, simplicity and godly sincerity. A faithful Christian lives an uncomplicated, straightforward life. He harbours no dark motives. He does not indulge in suspicious or questionable dealings. A genuine Christian is so plain-hearted that he would not be motivated by self-interest nor allow a guilty conscience to stick around for long. It is an aberration, though common these days, to find professing believers whose lifestyles and comportment fall far short of these yardsticks. Such professors have not appropriated God’s saving grace to themselves to enable them to live the overcoming life.

God wants us to be authentic in our profession of faith. He frowns at pretence and duplicity, which are marks of worldly wisdom. It is hazardous to fake Christianity because there is eternal damnation at the end of the line. It will serve you better to assess your conviction, commitment, and conduct to see how you measure on the spiritual integrity scale. The grace of God is still available to everyone who penitently comes to Him (by faith) for pardon, cleansing, restoration, and renewal.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
There is no higher certificate than a gospel-enlightened and approving conscience.

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)
