TOPIC: SEPARATION FROM DEFILEMENT
BIBLE TEXT: Leviticus 15:19-33
19. And if a woman have an issue, and her issue in her flesh be blood, she shall be put apart seven days; and whosoever toucheth her shall be unclean until the even.20. And every thing that she lieth upon in her separation shall be unclean; every thing also that she sitteth upon shall be unclean.21. And whosoever toucheth her bed shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.22. And whosoever toucheth any thing that she sat upon shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.23. And if it be on her bed, or on any thing whereon she sitteth, when he toucheth it, he shall be unclean until the even.24. And if any man lie with her at all, and her flowers be upon him, he shall be unclean seven days; and all the bed whereon he lieth shall be unclean.25. And if a woman have an issue of her blood many days out of the time of her separation, or if it run beyond the time of her separation; all the days of the issue of her uncleanness shall be as the days of her separation; she shall be unclean.26. Every bed whereon she lieth all the days of her issue shall be unto her as the bed of her separation; and whatsoever she sitteth upon shall be unclean, as the uncleanness of her separation.27. And whosoever toucheth those things shall be unclean, and shall wash his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and be unclean until the even.28. But if she be cleansed of her issue, then she shall number to herself seven days, and after that she shall be clean.29. And on the eighth day she shall take unto her two turtles, or two young pigeons, and bring them unto the priest, to the door of the tabernacle of the congregation.30. And the priest shall offer the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering; and the priest shall make an atonement for her before the LORD for the issue of her uncleanness.31. Thus shall ye separate the children of Israel from their uncleanness; that they die not in their uncleanness, when they defile my tabernacle that is among them.32. This is the law of him that hath an issue, and of him whose seed goeth from him, and is defiled therewith;33. And of her that is sick of her flowers, and of him that hath an issue, of the man, and of the woman, and of him that lieth with her that is unclean.

DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR TODAY
The case of separation from defilement which we find recurring in the book of Leviticus is an inevitable experience to walk acceptably with God. C.A. Tindley, the great hymn writer, wrote: “Nothing between my soul and the Saviour, Naught of this world’s delusive dream; I have renounced all sinful pleasure, Jesus is mine, there’s nothing between. Nothing between my soul and the Saviour, So that His blessed face may be seen; Nothing preventing the least of His favour, Keep the way clear! Let nothing between”. Any speck of uncleanness separate one from God who cannot “behold iniquity”.
The text today reveals the Levitical laws on uncleanness and separation from defilement. God’s desire for all His creatures in every generation is to be holy and free from pollution and sin. This is because sin is deadly and damnable. It is clear that many people are defiled in our generation not because of their own sin alone, but because they are lured into sin by others.
Jesus Christ, the spotless Lamb of God, made full atonement for sin. Sinners and backsliders can come unto Him for cleansing and purification. By this law, we are also taught to preserve holiness and purity of life and keep ourselves from all sinful and moral pollution.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Impurity separates one from God.
THE BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Joshua 11-14
