DCLM Daily Manna – Pleasant Surprise

DCLM Daily MannaTopic: Pleasant Surprise [DCLM Daily Manna 11 February 2020 Daily Devotional By Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]

Text: John 9:8-12

8 The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?

9 Some said, This is he: others said, He is like him: but he said, I am he.

10 Therefore said they unto him, How were thine eyes opened?

11 He answered and said, A man that is called Jesus made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and said unto me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wash: and I went and washed, and I received sight.

12 Then said they unto him, Where is he? He said, I know not.

Key Verse: “The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?” – (John 9:8)

MESSAGE:

The blind man had been in the situation since birth; so long that everyone around him knew his predicament. He used to beg openly and that miserable nature had become synonymous with him. He had sat as usual, begging for alms; but something greater than alms came his way. He received a miracle of mercy and became a marvel to his neighbours.

Many believers today are almost wearied because their expectations from God are being delayed. You may have attended countless number of vigils, prayer meetings and crusades. You may have also listened to powerful ministrations by men of God, yet it appears your challenges have refused to bow; don’t give up. The blind man had always gone to that road side to beg for alms. If he had felt so discouraged that he decided not to go out that day, he could have missed it. Your miracle is by the corner; don’t lose hope.

In 1903 Fanny J. Crosby wrote: “Never give up; never give up to thy sorrows; Jesus will bid them depart; trust in the Lord; trust in the Lord; sing when your trials are greatest; trust in the Lord and take heart.” If we will persevere in faith in spite of challenges, the Lord will surely visit us.

Everyone knew the identity of the blind beggar, though some were reluctant to admit that he could now see. Their reluctance notwithstanding, the testimony of the neighbours confirmed the fact that the man could now see. Those who gather to frustrate you will beg to be part of you celebration. It will be a pleasant surprise.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: “If God is making you wait, then be prepared to receive more than what you asked.”

THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Mark 1-3

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,

The pioneering phase of African Poetry

The pioneering phase We have called the first phase that of the pioneers. But since the phrase “pioneer poets” has often been used of writers of English expression like Osadebay, Casely-Hayford and Dei-Anag, we should point out that our “pioneer phase” also includes Negritude poets of French expression. The poetry of this phase is that of writers in “exile” keenly aware of being colonials, whose identity was under siege. It is a poetry of protest against exploitation and racial discrimination, of agitation for political independence, of nostalgic evocation of Africa’s past and visions of her future. However, although these were themes common to poets of both English and French expression, the obvious differences between the Francophone poets and the Anglophone writers of the 1930s and 1940s have been generally noted. Because of the intensity with which they felt their physical exile from Africa, coupled with their exposure to the experimental contemporary modes of writing in F
