OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS
DATE: MONDAY 24TH FEBRUARY, 2020
TOPIC: BE BRAVE! REFUSE TO BE A GHOST!
BASIC SCRIPTURE: (PSALM 27:1-6)
It was Robert Frost who quipped: “The best way out is always through.” He was saying (Paraphrased by me): NEVER RUN FROM
BATTLES; FACE THEM AND WIN! Truth is that the inevitable battles of life, the disappointments, the betrayals by people, your own personal failures/mistakes, etc, can turn you into a RECLUSE (a person who lives a solitary life and tends to avoid other people);
Yes! A RECLUSE is a person who lives in voluntary separation/ISOLATION from the public and society! A RECLUSE is a loner and an ISOLATIONIST (A person favouring a policy of remaining apart from the affairs or interests of others). That means a recluse is like a GHOST and that’s what BATTLES and FAILURES turn people into!
Self-pity and depression tend to make people feel inferior or scared of others who they consider are better! REFUSE TO BE A GHOST in 2020! Choose the courage to step out again! A GHOST is never seen and you may NEVER feel its impact!
Baltasar Gracian wrote: “Without courage, wisdom bears no fruit.” Then Anais Nin quipped: “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. That is why you must BE BRAVE and step out again! Ah! I remember my Caitlyn Siehl again: Forgive yourself for the things that turned you into a ghost. Let me watch you love yourself solid again.”
Consider the poem below: Don’t you look at what I had for you and call it weak. Not when you were the one afraid of it. I stood there with my hands open, my mouth bruised tender with supplication.
Don’t you dare treat me like a victim of my own emotions… I will go to my grave with the memory of the bravery in my bones. Yes, It is always great to go to the grave with the MEMORY OF THE BRAVE!
Martin Luther King, Jr. said: “lf you have not discovered something you are willing to die for, then you are not fit to live.” And David said in today’s scripture Vs 1: “The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?” So, begin 2020 with bravery and courage in your bones.

Song 2: My Faith Looks Up To Thee.....
1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Savior Divine;
Now hear me while I pray;
Take all my guilt away;
Oh, let me from this day
Be wholly Thine.
2. May Thy rich grace impart
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire;
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm, and changeless be,
A living fire.
3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my Guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4. All thru life’s transient dream,
Until death’s sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll,
Blest Savior, with Thy love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Make me Thy grace to prove
Transform my soul
