OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: SUNDAY 3RD NOVEMBER, 2019*
*TOPIC: WATCH THE CENTRAL PLACE*
*BASIC SCRIPTURES: GENESIS 3JOHN 2; 2CORINTHIANS 4:9-16*
It is true that all lasting success and prosperity begins on the inside. Today’s scripture, Vs. 2, *‘I pray above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.’* In other words, your prosperity, goodness, grace, multiplication and health is a function of the prosperity of your soul. It starts with what happens on the inside.
When you have prospered on your inside, there is nothing the devil can do to stop you from prospering on the outside. You are not a mere combination of chemicals, made in the image of God. You have an inside, a soul, an essence and a spiritual core to your personality! In today’s 2nd scripture (KJV), Vs 16, the apostle Paul refers to it as your “inward man.”
Oh! Just as bones have piths, trees have rings and a centre, the earth has a core, the solar system has a sun and the atom has a nucleus, so you have an essential, eternal essence and CENTER. It’s the seat and substance of who you are, and it needs CONSTANT STRENGTHENING. *It is in that CENTRAL PLACE of your life that God strengthens you!* This is what enables you to be successful as a father, mother, husband, wife or in your career/business, etc! That is what determines your GENERAL FAVOUR and prosperity!
In a world of chaos and battles, you need STRENGTH in your INNER MAN – your spirit and soul – in order to win! That is the meaning of today’s 1st scripture, *“I pray above all things that you may prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers.”* As 2019 ends, spend time to FEED and PROSPER your SOUL through regular and disciplined Bible studies, personal fasting and prayers! These are two major FOOD ITEMS for your inner man – YOUR SOUL! Never postpone your Bible study and prayer hour! Living holy to avoid INNER GUILT is also crucial diet! So, arise daily and draw strength for the journey – PROSPER YOU SOUL! FEED IT DAILY!
*NEVER TOO LATE! ALWAYS FRESH!*
*Still give out this 4th quarter ODM copy to a soul and to a family!*
*ODM IS THE BEST BIRTHDAY, WEDDING, ANNIVERSARY OR EVENT GIFT ITEM. USE IT ALWAYS! VISIT A BOOKSTORE AND GIVE OUT ANOTHER COPY THIS WEEK!*
*PRAYER POINTS:* Take Song 1: Higher Ground…
1. In your own words, pray generally as you’re led now.
2. Lord, help me to FEED and strengthen my soul daily!
3. I uproot laziness and procrastination from my dictionary as 2019 ends in Jesus name.
4. I refuse to allow the end-of-year hustle and bustle to quench my FIRE for God! I receive my testimony and I command it to manifest speedily in Jesus name.
5. Pray about the last days of 2019! Pray about today now.

*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.�
