OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: SUNDAY 24TH MARCH, 2019*
*TOPIC: THE SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MAN: NEVER QUIT AT HALF TIME*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: ISAIAH 40:1-25*
Many years ago, a very successful businessman was interviewed by a group of pressmen. The pressmen wanted to know more about the success secrets of this great man. *As he spoke, they discovered that the man had seen “hell” (real trouble)* and yet he was alive flourishing. One of the pressmen then asked: “How did you overcome so many unbelievable problems to become a great success story?” Hear the answer given by the businessman:
*“There is really no trick to it. There are some troubles that seem so high, you can’t climb over them. There are some troubles that seem too wide, you can’t walk around them. There are some problems too deep you can’t dig under them. But it is then that you know that the only way to beat the problem is to duck your head and wade right through it!”* Oh, what an answer and what a word to a troubled soul using today’s devotional. The Lord is telling you: “Stop considering the height, length, depth or breadth of that problem. Make up your mind to wait for Me and wade right through.”
Surely, many times, using your head to imagine how you will get out of certain difficulties can make you run mad. Don’t imagine how you will have a child (children)! Stop imagining how you will get married! Stop brainstorming on how you will overcome any present obstacle challenging/
confronting you! The God that did not allow Peter to drown in the sea of life will also make a way for you even at the last minute. Today’s scripture Vs. 10 says: *“Behold your God!”* That means, consider the size of your God and not the size of your obstacle/challenge confronting your life! Vs. 17 says “All nations before Him are as *nothing*…”That means before God, that problem facing you is *nothing.* No wonder coach Paul “Bear” Bryant told his team:
*“Don’t give up at half time. Concentrate on winning the second half”* and that is what God is telling you. Refuse to quit now! Trust God again and again and again!
*THERE IS A ‘MOSES’ IN EVERY MINSTER!”*
*Oh! Don’t miss the NEXT BATTLE AXE INT’L MINISTERS’ CONFERENCE OF 2019 MARCH 29TH – 31ST. 29TH is 6pm. 30TH are 3 SESSIONS from 8am. 31ST is impartation service 8am! Venue is Manna Mountain OGUDU Orioke, Lagos!*
*PRAYER POINTS:*
Take Song 3: My Faith Looks Up To Thee…
1. Bind frustration and stagnation concerning your life/ministry.
2. In this race of life, ask for the grace to be determined. Bind discouragement! Pray any other prayer(s) as led.
3. Pray the elderly and pensioners today worldwide.

*Song 3: My Faith Looks Up To Thee*
1. My faith looks up to Thee
Thou Lamb of Calvary, Saviour 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 Saviour, with Thy love,
Fear and distrust remove;
Make me Thy grace to prove
Transform my soul.
