DCLM Daily Manna – Multitasking For Christ

DCLM Daily Manna 22 September 2025 Devotional By Pastor W. F. Kumuyi — Multitasking For Christ

TOPIC: Multitasking For Christ (DCLM Daily Manna 22 September 2025)

KEY VERSE: “Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ” (1 Corinthians 1:8).

TEXT: 1 Corinthians 1:1-9 (KJV)

1 Paul, called to be an apostle of Jesus Christ through the will of God, and Sosthenes our brother,

2 Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

3 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ.

4 I thank my God always on your behalf, for the grace of God which is given you by Jesus Christ;

5 That in every thing ye are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge;

6 Even as the testimony of Christ was confirmed in you:

7 So that ye come behind in no gift; waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ:

8 Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that ye may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

9 God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord.

MESSAGE:

The classical definition of multitasking is “prioritising and organising your work to balance multiple tasks simultaneously.” Human resources experts claim that an employee has greater chances of rapid promotion and remuneration if, as they make tea, they can simultaneously talk to a client while taking notes on the conversation. This way, the organisation would not need to take on additional hands; thus, enabling the company to save costs.

The ministerial burden of Apostle Paul, which meant laborious multitasking activities, including travelling long distances over land and sea, predated the workplace demands of today’s professionals. While Paul saw to the “daily… care of all the churches,” he also took his time to watch over the flock put in his custody, even as he wrote letters to the churches to impart spiritual gifts to the leaders and members. His epistles reveal the information he gathered about the Corinthian believers as he attended to these duties.

Paul was able to learn through these multitasking efforts that the Corinthians were “behind in no gift; (while) waiting for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ”. The servants of God were pleased with their spiritual state, which attracted them more to heaven’s goodness. The world’s people will go the extra mile for temporary rewards. Still, Paul toiled for the benefit of the body of Christ as he looked forward to the riches of eternal life.

Working for the Lord is more demanding than secular undertakings. It calls for more skills in the prudent management of resources for the expansion of the kingdom of Christ. It requires maximising our time and talents for soul-winning, giving no room for idleness or slothful disposition. Our attitude should be that of the servant who is expecting the sudden arrival of his Lord to ask for an account of his stewardship.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
When you multitask for Christ, you multiply the harvest of souls for His kingdom.
