OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL???
_A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
DATE: TUESDAY 4TH DECEMBER, 2018
TOPIC: THE “3 C” TESTS!?
BASIC SCRIPTURE: PSALM 39:1-8?
The most important training you can give yourself as a man/woman, boy or girl, is the training of SPEAKING THE RIGHT WORDS AT THE RIGHT TIME. Nothing is a refreshing and soothing as a word spoken at the right time. Job, a man who had faced affliction upon affliction declared, ‘how forcible are right words.’ Friends came to sympathise with him, but instead of speaking comfort and hope into the soul of this wounded man, they tried to INVESTIGATE AND APPORTION BLAME. No! God has not called you into the ministry of investigation/criticism! Stop judging people. Stop judging those men/women of God; they are not answerable to you. You did not call them into ministry. Be careful with your words!
Treat your WORDS as your most powerful servants! Once you send them an errand, THEY DO NOT RETURN UNTIL THE JOB IS DONE! Train your tongue to speak creative, comforting and constructive words. If anything must come out of your mouth, make sure it passes these three ‘C’ tests. Is it creative? Is it comforting? Is it constructive? Even if it is a joke, make sure it passes the test. Your words are valuable. Treat them as such and regrets will be far from you! Dorothy Nevil says: “The real art of conversation is not only to say the right thing at the right place, but to leave unsaid, the wrong thing at the tempting moment.” A Spanish proverb says, “Don’t speak unless you can improve on the silence.” Hear David again in Verse 1 of today’s scripture, “I said, ‘I will guard my ways lest I sin with my tongue; I will restrain my tongue with a muzzle WHILE THE WICKED ARE BEFORE ME…”
Be careful of what you say in the presence of wicked people. If Joseph had muzzled his mouth in the presence of his brothers, his persecution may not have been so tough. By the time he got to Potiphar’s house, he talked less about his dreams. The wisdom of silence. Yes! I am led to ask you to conduct an obituary for wrong words in our life! BURY THEM! Close with Rumi: “Raise your word, not your voice. It is rain that grows flowers, not thunder.” Never forget the three ‘C’ tests!
_3 END-OF-YEAR PRAYER POINTS!_
_Prepare for THE LAST LAGOS ANOINTING SERVICE OF 2018 at the OGUDU MOUNTAIN, THIS SATURDAY. Theme: “REVERSING THE IRREVERSIBLE.” Whatever was lost this year shall be RESTORED AND REVERSED! Time: 8am. COME WITH 3 END-OF-YEAR PRAYER POINTS!_
PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 2: When The Morning Comes…??
1. Pray seriously as led concerning today’s word.
2. As 2018 ends, every scheme of the enemy to ensnare me by what I say, scatter in Jesus name.
3. Every evil voice speaking against me, be silenced NOW! Lord, reverse the irreversible in Jesus name.

Song 2: When The Morning Comes?
1. Trials on ev’ry hand
And we cannot understand
All the ways that God would lead us
To that blessed Promised Land;
But He’ll guide us with His eye,
And we’ll follow till we die;
We will understand it better by and by
Chorus
By and By, when the morning comes,
When the saints of God
Are gathered home,
We will tell the story
How we’ve overcome;
We will understand it
Better by and by
2. Oft our cherished plans have failed,
Disappointments have prevailed,
And we’ve wandered in the darkness,
Heavyhearted and alone;
But we’re trusting in the Lord,
And according to His Word,
We will understand it better by and by
3. Temptations, hidden snares
Often take us anawares.
And our hearts are made to bleed
For some thoughtless word or deed.
And we wonder why the test
When we try to do our best,
We will understand it better by and by
