Deeper Life Daily manna: Believers Called to Offer Their best to God
November 29, 2025 – A powerful message of total devotion resonated today as Deeper Life Bible Church’s Daily Manna devotional, authored by Pastor W. F. Kumuyi, emphasized the importance of offering God “only the best.” The devotional, titled “Only The Best,” draws parallels between the Old Testament practise of the heave offering detailed in Numbers 18:25-32 and the expectations for believers today.
The scripture highlights how the Levites received a portion of the tithes as their reward for service in the tabernacle, but only after the best portion had been “heaved” – set apart – for the Lord. The text specifies this offering was “reckoned…as though it were the corn of the threshingfloor,and as the fulness of the winepress” (Numbers 18:27).It further instructs that every heave offering should be “of all the best thereof, even the hallowed part thereof out of it” (Numbers 18:29).
Pastor Kumuyi illustrated this principle with the story of a thirteen-year-old girl who, moved by a sermon on Jesus’ sacrifice, offered herself to God by literally standing in the offering plate.
“Like the Levites in today’s text, believers are to give their best as hallowed gifts to the Lord,” the devotional states, quoting the hymn lyric, “Give of your best to the Master; Give of the strength of your youth; Throw your soul’s fresh, glowing ardour; Into the battle for truth.”
The Daily Manna urges believers to emulate Jesus’ example of giving His life and to offer God their “all – heart, life, time, talents, and treasures” through obedience, gospel sharing, devotion, and mentorship.
Today’s Thought for the Day challenges readers: “What have you given to the Lord that cost you something?” The devotional’s one-year Bible reading plan features Daniel 3-5.
