*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DAILY DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: WEDNESDAY 23RD OCTOBER, 2019*
*TOPIC: RESIST INDIGESTION NOW!*
*BASIC SCRIPTURES: PHILIPPIANS 3:12-14; 1SAMUEL 13:5-14*
It was billionaire businessman, Naveen Jain, who said, *“Great entrepreneurs focus on opportunities where others see nothing. This focus and intensity helps to eliminate wasted effort and distractions. Most companies dies from indigestion rather than starvation, i.e., companies suffer from doing too many things at the same time rather than doing few things very well.”* Wow! *THE PRINCIPLE OF INDIGESTION* (thinking of so many things and fighting so many battles at the same time). It has led to SHAME and the DEFEAT of many! As 2019 is ending, the Holy Ghost is still screaming out the need for you to KEEP YOUR FOCUS!
End of the year is a season when millions lose their FOCUS which they had in January! They lose their trust! This happens because of the attack of DELAYS and the intense thoughts of DISCOURAGEMENT! No matter how 2019 has been, refuse to lose your focus now! As long as there is life, there is GREAT HOPE that you will STILL SING YOUR NEW SONG! Yes! You will still fast again – 21 DAYS in January 2020 and you will still be at the TBS LAGOS for the LAST DAY ANOINTING SERVICE - *ELEVATION NIGHT! Tell the devil, you are not a quitter!* That is the power of focus!
King Saul lost his FOCUS and lost his throne because of a FEW MINUTES of IMPATIENCE! He was in a hurry and was probably angry against his God (JEHOVAH) and His prophet (Samuel). They key to ELEVATION and a GREATER TOMORROW is to FOCUS on where you are going, *AGAINST ALL ODDS!* The key to progress is focus! The key to fulfilling destiny is focus! No wonder Paul declared, “This ONE THING I do!” (Philippians 3:13). What is that “ONE THING” that God has called you to do? The ONE THING you must do is summarised in two words – *“FOCUS/TRUST”* (F&T)!
Yes, two words in one – *the “F&T” SECRET!* See where you are going (FOCUS) and TRUST YOUR GOD AGAINST ALL ODDS! Hear the words of Kris Humphries: “I’m someone who always comes on the court no matter what’s going on in my life. It’s all about basketball, regardless of what’s going on or what people are talking about.” That’s stubborn focus! Go and live likewise! I see INDIGESTION ending! I see Focus and Faith rising! Hold on and hold out!
*Today is the beginning of Women Interdenominational Power Conference. Theme: “DANCING IN THE RAIN” Venue: Ogudu Mountain, Lagos. Your Lazarus will rise again as I also lay hands on all women this SUNDAY, 8am.*
*PRAYER POINTS:* Take Song 1: Higher Ground…
1. Pray generally on today’s word as led now.
2. I determine to FOCUS/TRUST! I resist discouragement/depression! I resist comparing myself to others! I am not a quitter! I shall not be paralysed by “indigestion.” I shall wait till my change comes in Jesus name *(Pray it for 3 days).*
3. Pray about today!
*THE BIBLE-IN-ONE-YEAR: MARK 4-6*

*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.�
