OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL???
_A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
DATE: MONDAY 3RD DECEMBER, 2018
TOPIC: THE TOE-TAPPER: YOU ARE A V.I.P AND A STAR!?
BASIC SCRIPTURE: 1CORINTHIANS 12:12-27?
One day, a wise man came to a small town and needed a place to stay, so he went to the nearest church. He met a group of people arguing about how they could best please God. “I will help you” the man told them, “but you must promise to use what I give you to glorify God.” They agreed! He then went on to give each of them gifts – one was to be a pianist, another a flautist, to another he gave a saxophone, to another a violin and yet to another he gave the role of toa-tapping, i.e. using his feet to tap the floor in rhythm with other instruments. At first, the team worked together and their production was marvellous till one day when during a practice session, the violinist said to the pianist, *“I’m so glad I have the important job of play the violin. I thank God I am not the ordinary toe-tapper.”
That statement so hurt the toe-tapper that he left the group. The result was that their next concert was a flop! Then the flautist said in frustration: “Without the toe-tapper here, I don’t know how to come in for my part.” The saxophonist said the same thing till the violinist with tears apologized. “I am the reason for this mess. I thought I was also so important that I didn’t need the help of the toe-tapper; I was wrong.” They apologized to the toe-tapper and the next Sunday, their church was so blessed and God looked down, smiled and even ‘wrinkled’ at the toe-tapper! Today’s scripture talks about the fact that every child of God is crucial. You are very important to God in your local church or wherever you are, and so are others!
As 2018 ends, never give up in that little area where God has called you. Never despise yourself or envy another minister or ministry! Stay where you have been given the grace and heaven will make a difference with your life because as far as God is concerned, you are a VIP (Very Important Person) and a STAR. The pastor or saint on TV and the unseen sweeper of the church floor will receive the same reward because God does not reward glamour or visibility. He rewards the 13-letter word: FAITHFULNESS!
_The 2019 ODM and “War Against Hamman-14” booklets are out! Give them out as Christmas and New Year gift items. Get your copies from your nearest bookshop now! Give to FAMILY/FRIENDS this month!
PRAYER POINTS: Take any song of consecration to God.??
1. Pray on the Word as led. Repent from looking down on yourself or on little assignments in your local church.
2. Repent from pride (looking down on others) in the past.
3. As 2018 ends, tell God to use your life DAILY.
4. As 2018 ends, ask for the grace to be faithful at where you are now! Reject SELF-PITY/DEPRESSION!
5. Pray about today seriously as led now.
