OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL
A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS
DATE: SUNDAY 12TH MAY, 2019
TOPIC: PLAY NOW, PAY LATER!
BASIC SCRIPTURES: (JOHN 9:4; ECCLESIASTES 12:1-8)
A study of the sleep patterns of 56 healthy babies published in the Journal of Sleep Research reveals that babies who slept well at night, were those "THAT WERE EXPOSED TO SIGNIFICANTLY MORE LIGHT IN THE EARLY AFTERNOON!"
Exposure to light in the morning and evening however, produced little or no difference in sleep quality. The emphasis is in the lines – "light in the early afternoon."
The author of the study, Dr. Yvonne Harrison of Britain’s Liverpool John Moores University, decided to study the effect of light on babies’ sleep because of earlier research showing that more exposure to daytime light improved sleep for the elderly.
Since all truths are parallel, what the Holy Ghost is saying strongly to a user of today’s devotional is that in the spiritual realm too, early exposure to the light (The Word of God) will cause any child of God to shine in the latter season (night season) of their days on planet earth.
If you are lazy with the things of God (e.g. the Bible, Prayer, Evangelism, etc) now, you will find your NIGHT SEASON – your BATTLE/TRIAL SEASONS to be full of bitter regrets! To enjoy your night season (your season of trials and battles on planet earth), expose yourself to more light in the early afternoon now!
Afternoon is the season of activity, light, testimonies or great experiences. Know the Word in your “afternoon season” (activity and testimony season) before your night (trial) season shows up!
Use the Unfailing Promises pages of this booklet often! Always remember that every man has a night season! Night can also mean your season to EXPIRE (die) on planet earth! Why should you wait until you are near the grave to start working for God?
The simple rule is – If you play now (your afternoon season), you will pay bitterly, later (your night season). Get more light now! Get more knowledge! Read books! Read your Bible more! Pay now and play later!
The 7-Sundays programme titled: 55 SECRETS OF UNCOMMON SUCCESS – STORY BEHIND THE GLORY continues today. Venue: Manna Mountain, Ogudu Orioke Lagos. Lekki Mountain will always be connected. Time: 8am.
PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 1: There’s Not A Friend…
1. Worship the Lord for the different seasons of your life.
2. Lord, help me not to regret any evening/night season (old age). Help me not quit trusting You in any allowed trial!
3. Uproot laziness! Lord, help me to get more light now and stay with the Word. Help me to pay now and pay later!
4. Ask God to raise helpers who will translate ODM into more languages. More people must get the light now!
5. Pray seriously about the new ODM MOBILE APP! Satan is in trouble! Pray about today seriously now!
6. If the Lord can use you to distribute ODM where it is not common, send whatsapp to: +234 903 264 8292 today!

Song 1: There’s Not A Friend
1. There’s not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:
No, not one! No, not one!
None else could heal all our souls’ diseases:
No, not one! No, not one!
Refrain:
Jesus knows all about our struggles;
He will guide ‘til the day is done:
There’s not a Friend like the lowly Jesus:
No, not one! No, not one!
2. No friend like Him is so high and holy,
No, not one! No, not one!
And yet no friend is so meek and lowly,
No, not one! No, not one!
3. There’s not an hour that He is not near us,
No, not one! No, not one!
No night so dark, but His love can cheer us,
No, not one! No, not one!
4. Did ever saint find this Friend forsake him?
No, not one! No, not one!
Or sinner find that He would not take him?
No, not one! No, not one!
5. Was e’er a gift like the Saviour given?
No, not one! No, not one!
Will He refuse us the bliss of heaven?
No, not one! No, not one!
