Topic: No Prejudice Please! [DCLM Daily Manna 17 November 2019 Daily Devotional by Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi]
Text: Acts 10:9-20
Key Verse: “… What God hath cleansed, that call not thou common” (Acts 10:15b).
Prejudice is an unreasonable dislike or preference for a person, group, custom, etc. especially when it is based on their race, religion, social standing, etc. Prejudice blinds people to rational thinking, decisions and actions. However, God loves all men and wants all to be saved.
Cornelius, the Italian Centurion, feared God and give much alms. God, through an angel, instructed him to call for Simon Peter who at the time was in Joppa, to show him the way of salvation. And he sent his servants. As they approached Joppa, Peter had a trance. God had to deal with the prejudice of Peter in order to make him effective in reaching to all with the gospel.
