*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DAILY DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: SUNDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER, 2019*
*TOPIC: ONCE AN ATHEIST!*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: ROMANS 8:28-39*
I heard of Bill Hayden, the famous Australian politician who made no secret of his atheism! But recently, he became a believer in the existence of God and in His Christ! He was baptized in the Catholic Church, the Australian reports. Hayden, 85, is Australian former Governor-General and was a renowned atheist for all of his life. Typically, as Governor-General, one would also be appointed the Chief Scout of Australia. Hayden declined this office in 1989, declaring that he was an atheist and the Scout Promise, which says,
“Do my best to do my duty to my God,” was in direct conflict with his beliefs. Can you beat that? But now at 85 years old, this has all changed for the former politician.
In 2014, Hayden was sent to hospital after having a stroke, and according to The Christian Post, it was this event that ultimately convinced him that God did exist. Hayden said the stroke made it evident that there is *“more to life than just me.”* He continued, *“I had to make a dedication of myself for the good of others, before God. I felt that strongly.”* So, after years of denying God’s existence, Hayden renounced his atheism and joined the Catholic Church. Hayden said that his witnessing several selfless acts of compassion by Christians over his lifetime coupled with his stroke inspired his decision to come to Christ. According to the Catholic leader, Hayden was baptized at St. Mary’s Church near Brisbane, on September 9. He said at the time, “This took too long, and now I am going to be devoted. From this day forward, I’m going to vouch for God.”
Oh, thank you Jesus! It was the LOVE (several selfless acts of compassion by Christians) shown to him during his stroke that made him to surrender to the Almighty God! Even if the battles of 2019 have overwhelmed you, refuse to quit trusting this God! If atheist are now returning to the Rock of their souls, why will you allow depression and doubt to locate your address? Arise today and declare to the gates of hell that NOTHING CAN SEPARATE YOU FROM THE love of Christ! Pray now! Today is LEKKI Anointing service, 8am. *I shall be Physically there!* See you there!
*ONE NIGERIAN ONE ODM! GIVE OUT NEXT ODM!*
*Sow towards the 1ST OCTOBER NATIONAL RALLY Tagged, “ONE NIGERIA, ONE ODM.” The aim is to sow ODM into the life of every Nigerian on OCTOBER 1ST INDEPENDENCE DAY EVERY YEAR. Let God use you! Sow into any of the accounts on page 29 of this booklet and send SMS to ODM contacts!*
*PRAYER POINTS:* Take any song of adoration as led.
1. In your own words, pray about today’s word as led now.
2. LORD, help me not to ever forget that ALL is VANITY and that I shall leave this earth with OPEN HANDS!
3. I receive grace to live for the LORD and to live for others!
4. As I go out today, help me to know that I am VANITY/DUST!
5. I forgive the following people now (mention their names).
6. Pray about today now. Use the morning, afternoon and evening devotional prayers.
