*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DAILY DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: SATURDAY 19TH OCTOBER, 2019*
*TOPIC: HE REGRETTED WINNING THE LOTTERY!*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 16:1-16*
*There is a sure way to increase, and there is a fast way to increase!* One of the FASTEST WAYS to become a millionaire is to win the lottery but IT IS NOT A SURE WAY! A recent study showed that the chances of winning a lottery are 1 in 304 billion.
Also, another research showed that *70% of lottery winners become broke within a few years of winning the lottery!* Can you beat that? One man, Jack Whittaker, won a large sum of $314.9 million; but shortly after his win, his daughter and her friend died due to drug overdose. Whittaker himself developed a drinking problem and became a regular visitor of strip clubs.
He was hit by multiple lawsuits, and a large amount of money ($545,000) was stolen from his car. When asked why he carried that amount money around with him, Whittaker responded, “because I can.” He lost even more money from his bank account to a scammer. Today, he lives off social security payments and regrets over buying the ticket in the first place. Ah! *Wealth gotten hastily vanishes! Not just wealth! Indeed, Any Kind Of Premature Breakthrough Always Leads To Permanent Breakdown!* Ask Abraham concerning Ishmael! Oh, how about the hundreds of people who smear their hands with all kind of things in a diabolic HURRY to get faster testimonies! But did ISHMAEL bring PEACE to ABRAHAM?
No! As 2019 ends with certain unfulfilled dreams, always note that: *Sometimes arriving too quickly is detrimental!* Yes! Sometimes you have to let your dreams go in order to allow God to bring them back to you – in HIS TIME and in His WAY! *The God you serve is never late and rarely early.* Time can never be against you because God created your times and seasons! That is why TIME has only one Lord – God Himself. Keep your trust in Him! Hold on to Him and hold out till your TIME shows up! Yes! It will! Amen and amen!
*(HEAR A BILLIONAIRE TALK! If you are starting a business or own a business, always see page 89 for encouragement. Show it to other BUSINESS people in every editon). ALSO, IF YOU NEED DELIVERANCE, see your pastor or be at the Manna Mountain any Sunday 8am (OGUDU) or 9am (LEKKI).*
*PRAYER POINTS:* Take Song 1: Higher Ground…
1. In your own words, pray on today’s word as led now.
2. Father, I refuse to HURRY into REGRETS! I refuse to move ahead of You! Lord, keep me from any kind of PREMATURE HURRY, HUSTLE or BREAKTHROUGH in Jesus name.
3. I will stand firm for God and I decree that my STORY to GLORY is locating me in my season in Jesus name.
4. Pray for me and the ODM crew today!
5. Pray about today seriously. Cancel 67 end-of-year evil letters!

*Song 1: I’m Pressing On The Upward Way.*
1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
*Refrain:*
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on Canaan’s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
2. My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
3. I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.
4. I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.
