DCLM Daily Manna – Putting Authority Into Action

DCLM Daily MannaTopic: Putting Authority Into Action [DCLM Daily Manna 2 November 2019 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: Luke 9:1-9 (KJV)

Key Verse: “Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick” – (Luke 9:1,2).

MESSAGE:

Authority is displayed when a traffic officer raises the arm to stop a heavily loaded lorry. The power to halt the lorry is not dependant on the officer’s gender, size or tribe but on the authority he or she possesses.

Jesus Christ called together, His twelve disciples and gave them power (ability to act on His behalf) and authority (the lawful right to act on His behalf). Their mission was to give spiritual light to the people (preach the kingdom of God) and comfort (to heal the sick) thereby relieving those that were spiritually and physically disabled and tortured by the devil. Jesus gave them a complete instruction manual as regards their expected behaviour on the field. Power is recognised when it is put into use.

Herod saw the multiplication of the Kingdom work and was perplexed. He thought that the truth was banished and the power of God brought to an end by the beheading of John; but now the fire of the gospel was spreading to the cities and villages.

Every disciple today is called to be a witness of Jesus Christ and is sufficiently equipped to do so. The sphere of the work in reaching out to the lost is our neighbourhood and beyond. Bringing hope to the hopeless is a task we must perform promptly and with thoroughness. The world of the sin-sick, the oppressed and tormented awaits us. Let us go out with speed using the power and authority we have been given to set the world free. Power does not manifest in idleness; it must be put into use. When we go, signs and wonders will follow us.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Power does not manifest in idleness.

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Jeremiah 33-35

The Transitional Phase of African Poetry

The Transitional Phase The second phase, which we have chosen to call transitional, is represented by the poetry of writers like Abioseh Nicol, Gabriel Okara, Kwesi Brew, Dennis Brutus, Lenrie Peters and Joseph Kariuki. This is poetry which is written by people we normally refer to as modem and who may be thought of as belonging to the third phase. The characteristics of this poetry are its competent and articulate use of the received European language, its unforced grasp of Africa’s physical, cultural and socio-political environment and often its lyricism. To distinguish this type of poetry we have to refer back to the concept of appropriation we introduced earlier. At the simplest and basic level, the cultural mandate of possessing a people’s piece of the earth involves a mental and emotional homecoming within the physical environment. Poems like Brew’s ‘‘Dry season”, Okara’s “Call of the River Nun”, Nicol’s “The meaning of Africa” and Soyinka’s “Season”, to give a few examples,

Salute to the elephant

Salute to the elephant 1.      O elephant, possessor of a savings-basket full of money 2.      O elephant, huge as a hill, even in a crouching posture. 3.      O elephant, enfolded by honour; demon, flapping fans of war. 4.      Demon who snaps tree branches into many pieces and moves on to the forest farm. 5.      O elephant, who ignores “I have fled to my father for refuge”, 6.      Let alone “to my mother”. 7.      Mountainous Animal, Huge Beast who tears a man like a garment 8.      And hangs him up on a tree. 9.      The sight of whom causes people to stampede towards a hill of safety. 10. My chant is a salute to the elephant. 11. Ajanaku who walks with a heavy tread. 12. Demon who swallows palm-fruit bunches whole, even with the spiky pistil-cells. 13.
