*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*???
_A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: SUNDAY 11TH NOVEMBER, 2018*?
*TOPIC: THE STEEL BAR: YOUR VALUE IS ENHANCED BY OBSTACLES - Part 1*?
*BASIC SCRIPTURES: GENESIS 50:20; JOB 23:3-12*?
At the close of the twentieth century, a bar of steel was worth about $5. When this same steel of $5.00 is forged into horseshoes, it was worth $10.00; when made into needles, its value was up to $350; when used to make small pocket knife blades, its worth was $32,000; when made into springs for watches, its value increased to $250,000. *Then just imagine the ‘fire’, ‘pounding’ and ‘bruises’ the steel had to go through to increase its worth from $5.00 to $250,000.* Yes, as 2018 ends, never forget that the more the steel bar was shaped, hammered, beaten, pounded and polished, the greater the value! A very beloved saint of God once said *“The sharper the craftsman’s knives, the finer and more beautiful His work.”*
This is the last quarter of 2018 but God wants you to know that HE HAS YOUR BACK! He wants you to know that some trials and pain that you are allowed to go through is for the sake of increasing your value and destiny star. It is through pain that God gets the most out of us for His glory and the blessings of others. *The only way Joseph was promoted from a local to an international champion was through pain!* This ODM vision was discovered on the day that I wanted to commit suicide! Stop crying or murmuring over that trial/pain in your life which cannot be explained! There are trials which will be explained by and by! Hear what the greatest boxing champion in history, Mohammed Ali said: *“I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.”*
No wonder Job said in Verse 10 of our 2nd scripture: “But He knoweth the way that I take: when He hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.” Never forget the timeless insight of Lou Holtz: *“Show me someone who has done something worthwhile and I’ll show you someone who has overcome adversity.”* The road to the palace is through the prison! Please no matter how 2018 has been, refuse to give up because in all things, including that negative circumstances, God is increasing your value. Hold on and hold out! I see celeberations!
_What has God done through ODM or the “War Against Haman-13” booklet in 2018? Send us a testimony today to orderodm@gmail.com. Share that testimony with us! Shame the devil._
*PRAYER POINTS:* Take your best worship song to God.??
1. Lord God, by Your Hand and power, increase my value in 2019 and as 2018 ends. Let my progress be unstoppable *(Pray it very well for 8 days).*
2. Lord, let this cup pass over me (Mention any heavy burden/problem now…). *(Pray it very well).*
3. *Sow the 2019 ODM into lives as a Gift!*
