*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DAILY DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: TUESDAY 23RD JULY, 2019*
*TOPIC: THE TEACHER SENT HER HOME! PAIN IS NOT AN ENEMY!*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: 2TIMOTHY 2:1-7*
A Warri, Delta State, Nigerian Schoolgirl Who Would Rather Be Flogged For Not Paying School Fees Than Go Home, received massive attention on the internet and local news in late March 2019.
The story of the 7 year-old primary school girl identified as Success, went viral after a video showed her lamentation on her inability to pay her school fees/levies of 12,000 naira and being sent out of school by her teacher. The Delta Stated Government suspended the head teacher for allegedly collecting unauthorized fees including examination levies from schoolchildren. In the video which went viral, the schoolgirl, Success Adegor from Okotie-Eboh Primary School in Sapele Local Government Area, was seen protesting against the school’s decision to send her home over her parents’ failure to pay her second term examination fee. But that singular act of being SENT OUT OF SCHOOL turned her into a celebrity instantly!
Various Government reached out to her for scholarships. SHE HAS SO MANY SCHOLARSHIPS now! That season of tears became her season of “MORE THAN ENOUGH.” Indeed the ways of God are past finding out! He used the teacher to send her away for her to meet her destiny. Just imagine a schoolgirl who was sent out of school for lack of funds, becoming a world star! Today, she has access to local and international TV Stations, radio stations, various government and foreign embassies! Ah! GOD of mysteries! What was meant to become SHAME to her became her reason for FAME! That too is the story of your life, family and ministry! Even in the most difficult times, your destiny cannot be truncated! Many times, battles and pain is the allowed route to your land of GRACE and DANCING! The Holy Ghost wants you to see every allowed BATTLE AS A MESSENGER, SENT TO MOVE YOU FROM STORY TO GLORY. No wonder Paul said in 2Timothy 2:3: “Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of Jesus Christ.”
Yes! You are a SOLDIER in the war front of LIFE and you are to ENDURE HARDNESS because HARDNESS and TRIALS are not enemies but unwanted friends! They are your guides to your THRONE OF DESTINY! Hear David Weatherford,
“When faced with a challenge, look for a way, not a way out.” Then close with David Wiemers: *“Don’t let the low times keep you down. Learn from them and reach for the high times.”* The Holy Ghost is again declaring this: *NEVER SEE PAIN, BETRAYALS, disappointments, delays, false allegations, unfriendly friends, etc, as enemies! They are your ladder to your DESTINY LAND!* Yes! You will get there! Hold on and hold out! Pray now!
*PRAYER POINTS:* Worship God in your native dialet.
1. In your own words, pray about today’s word as led now.
2. Lord, help me to always remember that I AM A SOLDIER in the WAR FRONT OF LIFE! Help me to ENDURE hardness and TOUGH TIMES in Jesus name.
3. Holy Ghost, grant me the needed GRACE to hold on and hold out in every pain!
