*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*???
_A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: WEDNESDAY 7TH NOVEMBER, 2018*?
*TOPIC: HIS PRESENCE IS THE KEY!*?
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 26:1-6; 12-14*?
One of the essential keys to greatness is the ever-abiding presence of God. *A man who walks with God, faithfully and steadfastly, walk from greatness to greatness because of His PRESENCE!* If the devil cannot take you away from the presence of the living God, He cannot cut short your destiny. In fact, His PRESENCE is what provokes His PRESENTS (Gifts). If the devil cannot succeed in using the things of this life to pull you away from looking up to the living God, he can never have any say in your life’s affairs. The best he can do is to be a USELESS SPECTATOR; watching God bless you and increase you from glory to glory. Hear what God says to Isaac in Verse 3 of today’s scripture, “Dwell in this land and I will be with you and bless you.” Very powerful! Don’t reduce God to just oil or images in your church!
No wonder Aiden Wilson Tozer said: *“In some circles, God has been abridged, reduced, modified, edited, changed and amended until He is no longer the God whom Isaiah saw, high and lifted up.”* He also noted: “Trying to be happy without a sense of God’s presence is like trying to have a bright day without the sun.” Then E.W. Kenyon quipped: “Prayer means that we have come boldly into the throne room and we are standing in God’s presence.” Oh, as 2018 ends, SEEK HIS PRESENCE DAILY! If God has not called you to travel to another city or country, your greatness and prosperity is not in that place! Stay where you are, and let HIS PRESENCE turn things around in your favour.
There was a serious famine in the land of Gerar when God told Isaac NOT to travel out! Much more, Isaac was surrounded by hostile, unfriendly Philistines, but those things did not matter to God. The presence of the Lord made the difference and made him to PROSPER in the midst of ADVERSITY. DO NOTHING UNTIL YOU ARE SURE HIS PRESENCE WILL BACK YOU UP! The Lord told Moses in Ex. 33:14, “…My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest.” His Presence produces rest; not struggle! Then Moses replied Him in Vs 15 – “…If Thy Presence go not with me, carry us not up hence.” The presence of God is His tool to re-write your decoration story as 2018 ends! Spend time with Him! Resist worry, hustle and bustle and be still in Him! Remember Samson! The presence LEFT him. Don’t be the next victim!
*Stay with God! Walk with God! Move at His pace! Even when the storms seem to rage, don’t panic! Get a word from God before any action! Never move until He moves! Never rest until He rests! Let your hands be in His hands! You will excel!*
*PRAYER POINTS:* Take Song 2: When Then Morning Comes…??
1. In your own words, pray about today’s reading now.
2. Satan, you are a liar! You cannot get me OUTSIDE His presence again in Jesus name.
3. I repent from whatever will EXPEL the presence of God.

*Song 2: When The Morning Comes*?
1. Trails dark on ev'ry hand,
And we cannot understand
All the ways that God would lead us
To that blessed Promised Land;
But He'll guide us with His eye,
And we'll follow till we die;
We will understand it better by and by.
*Chorus*
By and by, when the morning comes,
All the saints of God are gathering home,
Tell the story how we’ve overcome,
We will understand it better by and by.
2. Oft our cherished plans have failed, disappointments have prevailed,
And we’ve wandered in the darkness, heavyhearted and alone;
But we’re trusting in the Lord, and according to His Word,
We will understand it better by and by.
3. Temptations, hidden snares often take us unawares,
And our hearts are made to bleed for each thoughtless word or deed;
And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best,
But will understand it better by and by.
