MARTYRDOM: MATTERS ARISING – PASTOR W.F KUMUYI
KEY VERSE: “And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison” (Matthew 14:10).
TEXT: Matthew 14:1-12 (KJV)
1 At that time Herod the tetrarch heard of the fame of Jesus, 2 And said unto his servants, This is John the Baptist; he is risen from the dead; and therefore mighty works do shew forth themselves in him. 3 For Herod had laid hold on John, and bound him, and put him in prison for Herodias’ sake, his brother Philip’s wife. 4 For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her. 5 And when he would have put him to death, he feared the multitude, because they counted him as a prophet. 6 But when Herod’s birthday was kept, the daughter of Herodias danced before them, and pleased Herod. 7 Whereupon he promised with an oath to give her whatsoever she would ask. 8 And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger. 9 And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. 10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison. 11 And his head was brought in a charger, and given to the damsel: and she brought it to her mother. 12 And his disciples came, and took up the body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus.

DCLM Daily Manna MESSAGE:
Bishop Hugh Latimer was martyred in 1555. After being sentenced to death for his convictions, he wrote an open letter in which he declared, “Let us consider all the dear friends of God, how they have gone after the example of our Saviour, Jesus Christ; whose footsteps let us also follow, even to the gallows if God’s will be so.” He and his friend Nicholas Ridley were tied to the stake a short time later. As the leaping flames began to touch their bodies, Latimer called, “Be of good cheer, Brother Ridley, and play the man; we shall this day light such a candle by God’s grace in England as I trust shall never be put out!” – Copied from The Speaker’s Quote Book, Roy B. Zuck.

John the Baptist was a burning and shining light in his lifetime and at death. Herod, the king, gruesomely martyred him because his fiery message condemned his incestuous relationship with his brother, Philip’s wife. “For John said unto him, It is not lawful for thee to have her.” John paid the supreme price for fearlessly confronting the king. He lit the world with the light of righteousness that a million martyrdoms would never put out.
It has always been part of man’s depraved nature to fight or persecute the preachers of righteousness. Though John was murdered and buried, silenced as it was, the truth he proclaimed could not be buried. The question is, where are Herod, Herodias, and her daughter whose seductive dance eventually led to the king’s oath that resulted in the beheading of the Prophet of God, the forerunner of the Saviour of the world? Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Herod, and other enemies of the Church have all gone into oblivion.
The pattern set by John the Baptist and the apostles of Christ must challenge Christians to stand uncompromisingly and preach Christ in and out of season. Our lives and times are in the Lord’s hands. Like our Master and Saviour, we must remain faithful to the end. Like the apostles, we must resolve to obey God rather than men, not minding the loss of material gain, human praise, and recognition while standing for Christ and declaring the whole counsel of God.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
You cannot be a burning and shining light without attracting the fury of the powers of darkness.
