*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: SUNDAY 10TH MARCH, 2019*
*TOPIC: DETERMINATION HAS A REWARD! NEVER GIVE UP!*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: ROMANS 8:26-39*
There was a girl who was the only girl of a family of five! The father refused to sponsor her education because he felt that the boys needed to be trained first. She stayed for many years at home while her peers were gaining admission into the university.
But despite this painful experience, she remained focused and determined. She kept telling everyone she met that she was going to be a banker. Many laughed! Some mocked! Others just scoffed at her!
As a matter of fact, she had to do menial jobs sometimes, to enable her raise the money that was needed for her university education. *Sometimes, a man with vision can become a fool in order to become a pool of wisdom at the end. Is it not true that people groan before tasting glory?* She worked for 3 years and gained admission into the university to read Banking and Finance. *Sometimes, DREAMS are like EGGS; they are HATCHED in stages!* This young lady fought against all odds, resisted sexual prostitution, completed her course and is today a successful banker!
No wonder Samuel Smiles said: *“Men who are resolved to find a way for themselves will always find opportunities enough: and if they do not find them, they will make them.”* That’s what God wants you to do concerning your life’s goals. Don’t ever give up, despite the many obstacles confronting you now!
*Continue to see where you are going BECAUSE A MAN WITHOUT AN AIM IS LAME. IT TAKES A MAN WHO IS IN MOTION TO GAIN PROMOTION! The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort, but where he stands in seasons of challenge!* If God be for you, who/what can be against you? (today’s scripture Vs 31). Vs 32 says GOD SPARED NOT HIS SON AND SO HE CANNOT DENY YOU ANYTHING! Resist
discouragement because the darkest season of the night precedes the day: DELAY IS NOT A DENIAL! Be determined! Determination has a sweet reward at the end. Hold on to God! Hold on to your dreams!
*BEST EASTER GIFT – Help a SOUL daily! Give out the next ODM edition as a SPECIAL EASTER GIFT. NEW CHILDREN ODM and NEW ODM CARTOON are also available!*
*PRAYER POINTS:* Take Song 3: My Faith Looks Up To Thee…
1. Thank God for the Word. Bind depression and heaviness now. Uproot self-condemnation now.
2. Ask for the grace to be determined again.
3. Still pray about your 2019/life’s goals again.

*Song 3: My Faith Looks Up To Thee*
1. My faith looks up to Thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour divine;
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.
2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be
A living fire.
3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4. All thru life’s transient dream,
Until death’s sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll,
Blest Saviour, with Thy love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Make me Thy grace to prove
Transform my soul.
