*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: WEDNESDAY 8TH MAY, 2019*
*TOPIC: THE BAD BOSS COMPETITION: GOOD IN EVERY BAD!*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: JUDGES 14:5-20*
The United State Labour Movement once asked workers to move their complaints about their bosses from the realm of pain to the realm of gain! It sounded bizarre, but workers were invited throughout the country some years ago to share their best stories about their bosses in a competition titled: *“My Bad Boss Contest.”
* The winner went home with a one-week vacation and $1,000 for a roundtrip airfare. Oh, it was good news because for once, a bad boss could be a good thing and generally that’s the truth about life, family and ministry, which the Holy Ghost wants you to learn through today’s devotional.
*No matter how bad a situation may seem, there is always something good buried within that circumstance.* The truth is that adversity (pain and trials) have the effect of eliciting talents which in prosperous circumstances would have remained dormant or undiscovered! *The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem!* No wonder the Bible says all thinks work together for good to them that love God. *God will not allow you to pass through any situation that will not favour you in the end.*
Samuel Smiles wrote: “Men who resolved to find a way for themselves will always find opportunities enough; and if they do not find them, they will make them.” There was honey in the lion that Samson killed, but *the money was discovered after many days!* Vs. 8 says, “After a time…” Yes! AFTER A TIME! There is always GREAT GOOD *after a time!* Ask God to show you the good therein and the purpose for which it was allowed. You will laugh last, just after a time, no matter the heat of the battle now. As you wait upon God, begin to learn new dancing steps because I see you dancing very soon in celebration of your STORY to GLORY phase! Hold on! God will do it again!

*Song 2: Count Your Blessings*
1. When upon life’s billows you are tempest tossed,
When you are discouraged, thinking all is lost,
Count your many blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
*Refrain*
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.
2. Are you ever burdened with a load of care?
Does the cross seem heavy you are called to bear?
Count your many blessings, every doubt will fly,
And you will keep singing as the days go by.
3. When you look at others with their lands and gold,
Think that Christ has promised you His wealth untold;
Count your many blessings. Wealth can never buy
Your reward in heaven, nor your home on high.
4. So, amid the conflict whether great or small,
Do not be disheartened, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey’s end.
