*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: SATURDAY 8TH JUNE, 2019*
*TOPIC: GRATITUDE GRADUATES YOU!*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: COLOSSIANS 3:8-17*
The dictionary defines graduation as: “To take on an added degree.” It also defines the word, *“GRADUATE”* as: “to move up to a higher grade of activity.” In other words, to graduate means an addition or a movement of your life, family and ministry to a higher grade! However, as I prepared to write, I heard boldly, *“Tell My people that, ‘GRATITUDE PROVOKES GRADUATION.”
* Today’s scripture Vs 16 says: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs with GRATITUDE in your heart to God.” *GRATITUDE IS WHEN YOU CHOOSE TO SING IN THE MIDST OF LIFE’S BATTLES, INSTEAD OF SECRET ANGER AGAINST GOD!*
Daily in life, you must realize that it is not happiness that makes us grateful, but gratefulness that makes us happy! Hear Melody Beetle: *“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough and more! It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, and confusion to clarity! It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.”* Count your blessings and not your bleedings! Refuse to cry! Hold on to God! In the end, your STORY TO GLORY experience will be so visible to all. Amen and amen!
*THE NEW CHILDREN/TEENS ODM and NEW VERSION ODM COMIC/CARTOON are available nationwide.*
*Note: Your graduation ceremony is being planned in heaven! Disappoint the devil! Live in MERCY! This month is the ODM ANNUAL MONTH OF MERCY! It is a month dedicated to do Charity works and to show Practical Love. This should be done throughout this month wherever you are! MERCY WILL NEVER ELUDE YOUR HOUSEHOLD! SHOW MERCY! DONATE BLOOD, ECT. SOW A MERCY SEED INTO ANY ACCOUNT ON PAGE 29 OF THIS BOOKLET! IT WILL HELP US AS WE VISIT MERCY HOMES ON SUNDAY 30TH OF THIS MONTH!*
*PRAYER POINTS:* Take Song 1: There’s Not A Friend…
1. Mention some of your past/present blessings and worship the Lord for them now.
2. Lord, promote and graduate me to my next level in 2019. I refuse to be down! I refuse to complain! I am grateful for where I am and for what I am. Worship the Lord again!
3. I scatter the council of diviners concerning the enlargement of my destiny in Jesus name *(Pray it very well).*
4. *Pray for all ODM Partners now! Pray for all who sowed the GLORY-PROVOKING SEED of January and prayed the Psalms as directed! Loose manifestations!*
5. Pray about today seriously as led now. See pages 7-9.

*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!
