TOPIC: Life Of Purity (DCLM Daily Manna 31 May 2023)
KEY VERSE: “But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the LORD: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean” (Numbers 19:20).
TEXT: Numbers 19:11-22 (KJV)
11 He that toucheth the dead body of any man shall be unclean seven days.
12 He shall purify himself with it on the third day, and on the seventh day he shall be clean: but if he purify not himself the third day, then the seventh day he shall not be clean.
<😔 p>13 Whosoever toucheth the dead body of any man that is dead, and purifieth not himself, defileth the tabernacle of the Lord; and that soul shall be cut off from Israel: because the water of separation was not sprinkled upon him, he shall be unclean; his uncleanness is yet upon him.
14 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent: all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, shall be unclean seven days.
15 And every open vessel, which hath no covering bound upon it, is unclean.
16 And whosoever toucheth one that is slain with a sword in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone of a man, or a grave, shall be unclean seven days.
17 And for an unclean person they shall take of the ashes of the burnt heifer of purification for sin, and running water shall be put thereto in a vessel:
18 And a clean person shall take hyssop, and dip it in the water, and sprinkle it upon the tent, and upon all the vessels, and upon the persons that were there, and upon him that touched a bone, or one slain, or one dead, or a grave:
19 And the clean person shall sprinkle upon the unclean on the third day, and on the seventh day: and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, and wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and shall be clean at even.
20 But the man that shall be unclean, and shall not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the congregation, because he hath defiled the sanctuary of the Lord: the water of separation hath not been sprinkled upon him; he is unclean.
21 And it shall be a perpetual statute unto them, that he that sprinkleth the water of separation shall wash his clothes; and he that toucheth the water of separation shall be unclean until even.
22 And whatsoever the unclean person toucheth shall be unclean; and the soul that toucheth it shall be unclean until even.
DCLM Daily Manna For Today MESSAGE:
Revivalist, Smith Wigglesworth, once said, “Two things will get you to leap out of yourselves into the promises of God today. One is purity, and the other is faith, which is kindled more and more by purity. How great is the position of a man who is born of God, born of purity, born of faith, born of life, born of power!”

This passage deals with the application of ashes for purification. It was one of the laws that were meant to prevent the defilement of the tabernacle; but like several Old Testament laws, it was ceremonial. However, it emphasises God’s hatred for pollution and uncleanliness. Anyone who touched a dead body would be unclean and must purify themselves with a heifer on the third day. Similarly, the water of separation must be sprinkled upon such, without which they would remain unclean. Without purification, the person would defile the tabernacle and be cut off from Israel.
The situation was so serious that even people who were in the tent when a person died, those who touched someone killed with a sword in open fields, along with individuals who touched the bones of the dead or their graves were all deemed unclean. Thank God for Jesus Christ who died on the cross for us and washed us clean with His blood. We do not need to go through such ceremonial practices for cleansing as our Lord and Saviour has done it for us, once and for all.
Everyone on earth must be washed with the blood of Jesus for the purification to happen in their lives. Those who fail to repent of their sins will be judged unclean and cut off from the congregation of the saints in heaven.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Anyone who has not been to Jesus has not experienced real cleansing.
