1 Corinthians 1:26-31
[26] For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 

[27] But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 

[28] and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 

[29] that no flesh should glory in His presence. 

[30] But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God and righteousness and sanctification and redemption

[31] that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”

MFM Daily Devotional Message Thursday, 21st May, 2026.
God honours those who acknowledge Him as God, and welcomes to His bosom as many as acknowledge their sins and are ready to repent and receive Jesus as their Lord and Saviour. He has promised not to cast them away for any reason at all (John 6:37).

God is no respecter of persons. He doesn't judge by your stature, your financial status, your age, your strength or accomplishments. Rather, He uses the base things of this world to confound the wise. Your real worth is measured by the level of your surrender to God, your Maker, through Christ Jesus. Are you born again? I celebrate your new life in Christ. Are you still swimming in the ocean of ignorance, postponing the day of salvation? Do you claim to be born again but are wallowing deep in secret sins? God knows and sees you. Today, let Him meet and dine with you as He did with Zacchaeus.

The Bible tells us about Zacchaeus, a tax collector. Although he was a rich man, yet, he was a sinner (Luke 19:2-9). Despite his physical limitation of having a short stature, he put up a strategy that many men of the same physical and spiritual condition would not think of. He chose to climb a tree that made him conspicuous enough for Jesus to see and acknowledge. Beyond climbing the tree, Zacchaeus had a heart that longed to meet the Master. Many tall, handsome men, equally rich and of exalted position would have been present on that day. However, the readiness of Zacchaeus' heart caught the attention of the Saviour. The end was a divine visitation that did not leave his life the same way. He was transformed.

Beloved, I encourage you to open your heart to Jesus today and allow Him to carry out a divine transformation in and through you. The book of Ecclesiastes 12:13 says that to fear God and keep His commandments is the whole duty of man. Make this instruction your watchword henceforth and the Lord will bless you, in Jesus' name.
