2 Chronicles 33:1-16
[1] Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem.
[2] But he did evil in the sight of the Lord, according to the abominations of the nations whom the Lord had cast out before the children of Israel.
[3] For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; he raised up altars for the Baals, and made wooden images; and he worshiped all the host of heaven and served them.
[4] He also built altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, “In Jerusalem shall My name be forever.”
[5] And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the Lord.
[6] Also he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; he practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.
[7] He even set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, “In this house and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever;
[8] and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers, only if they are careful to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.”
[9] So Manasseh seduced Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to do more evil than the nations whom the Lord had destroyed before the children of Israel.
[10] And the Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they would not listen.
[11] Therefore the Lord brought upon them the captains of the army of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with hooks, bound him with bronze fetters, and carried him off to Babylon.
[12] Now when he was in affliction, he implored the Lord his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,
[13] and prayed to Him; and He received his entreaty, heard his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord was God.
[14] After this he built a wall outside the City of David on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate; and it enclosed Ophel, and he raised it to a very great height. Then he put military captains in all the fortified cities of Judah.
[15] He took away the foreign gods and the idol from the house of the Lord, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the Lord and in Jerusalem; and he cast them out of the city.
[16] He also repaired the altar of the Lord, sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it, and commanded Judah to serve the Lord God of Israel.

MFM Daily Devotional Message Wednesday, 12th August, 2026.
God can touch the most hardened individuals to bring about unimaginable transformation. Many instances in scriptures attest to this fact. One of such is the story of king Manasseh, Hezekiah's son, who reigned in Judah. He perpetrated so much evil and refused to walk in the ways of his father who brought great reform to the land. Verses two to eight of our Fire Scripture record the evil deeds of Manasseh.
He refused to yield to several warnings until God raised the Assyrians to take him into captivity. It took the sufferings in captivity to bring Manasseh to a total surrender. Then, Manasseh humbly sought the Lord and cried to God in prayer. God heard his prayers and his supplications. Manasseh received mercy from the Lord in spite of his idolatry and wickedness. As terrible as his sins were, his hardened heart was softened. Manasseh became a new man. He undid all the evils he had done (vv. 15-16).
I don't know what sins you have committed. They could be more terrible than Manasseh's but God is able to forgive and restore you as He did for Manasseh. Anyone who comes to Jesus in genuine repentance can find forgiveness of sins, and receive grace and power for a fresh start from the Lord. If God could forgive Manasseh, He will forgive you. Is there anyone you need to intercede for? Please pray, so that such hardened hearts will receive the transformative touch of God.
Manasseh was anti-God, but when he realized his folly, he found his way back to God in humility and repentance and God forgave him. He became a restorer and a reformer. God did the same for Saul of Tarsus. This former persecutor of the brethren became one of the greatest apostles who did exploits for God. God can do the same in your life. You shall be divinely translated from the kingdom of darkness into the Kingdom of light of His dear Son, Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:13). You will become a new creature (2 Corinthians 5:17).
