*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DAILY DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: SUNDAY 20TH OCTOBER, 2019*
*TOPIC: LOVE ALL! TRUST A FEW!*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 16:1-16*
Welcome to today’s devotional with the Holy Spirit, the giver of all good gifts. Note from today’s first scripture that a gift that is not filled with and wrapped with love is no gift at all. It’s not your gift that counts (that is, the physical thing, or the physical act of service), rather it is the love that the receiver feels that matters.
It is the attitude that backs your giving that counts. No wonder the Bible says, *“God love a cheerful giver” (second scripture). A hand that gives must be supported with a heart that gives.* If your hands give, but your heart withholds, you are not giving with a heart of love. Oh! I remember William Shakespeare: *“LOVE ALL; TRUST a few! Do wrong to none!”*
LOVE MUST BE SEEN AS A VERB; AN ACTION WORD! *No wonder Martin Luther King said: “In the end, we will remember, not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.”* And it’s always a LOUD SILENCE that bleeds! Love involves LISTENING to OTHERS! Love means you are a SOLUTION to others, despite your own battles! But catch this warning: *Be careful who you talk to about your battles, because a listening ear could also be a RUNNING MOUTH – a gossip!* Close with the saintly Mother Theresa: “A life not lived for others is not a life.” Live your life for God and live it to be a blessing to those you meet daily as 2019 ends and your 2020 ELEVATION years begins!
*WOMEN DELIVERANCE/LAYING ON OF HANDS: Be at the ANNUAL Manna Women Interdenominational Power Conference. Theme: “DANCE IN THE RAIN.” Date: 23rd – 25th October, 2019. Venue: Ogudu Mountain, Sunday 27th October is Thanksgiving Service. Time: 7am. Your Lazarus will rise again! I HEAR A NEW SONG CONCERNING YOU!*
*PRAYER POINTS:* Take any song of praise as led.
1. In your own words, pray over today’s word seriously.
2. Holy Ghost, Giver of all good things, make me a channel of blessing to my generation.
3. Help me never to trust men foolishly! I refuse to be a victim of foolishness in Jesus name.
4. I turn my focus on the Word of God and I refuse to be distracted by the actions, inaction or disappointments of men!
5. Holy Ghost, as 2019 ends, disappoint the devices of the crafty concerning my life, family and ministry in Jesus name (Pray it seriously for 5 days).
6. Pray for Israel today! Pray for your local church!
7. Pray about today! *See pages 7-9 NEW devotional prayers today and daily!*
