OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR
THE CHAMPIONS
DATE: 19TH JUNE, 2019
TOPIC : THE EXTRA MILE SECRET! THE PROPHET IS A FOOL
BASIC SCRIPTURE: (HOSEA 9:1-7)
It was Winston Churchill who observed: "It is not enough that we do our best, sometimes, we have to do what is required.". Og Mandino, the publisher of "The Greatest Salesman In The World," said,
"The only certain means of success is to render more and better services than is expected," and that is what God is saying to a user of today's devotional.
Your God has a STORY to GLORY package for you, but He wants you to go the extra mile in all you do! He wants you to pray more, study extra hours, give a little extra, forgive a little more, than you have done in the past. You can still wait for that miracle a little extra days without giving up.
The truth is that even the best business around can still improve. Your sweet marriage can still get sweeter! Add more value to whatever you are doing because like Thomas Edison said, "There is a way to always do it better. Find it."
Determine to move out in life and ministry. Thank God for the seventy disciples, but much more, thank God for the three. Find out what took the three from the crowd! They were men of extra zeal and they formed the extra generation for extraordinary results.
Tell God you are tired of being just ordinary! The extra generational are the 'mad men' of that generation: they may not sleep, while others are sleeping; they will declare a fasting and prayer/all night programme on their own; they will buy books while others are buying perfumes, designer shoes and new clothes!
No wonder today's basic scripture (v.7) says the prophet is a fool and the spiritual man is mad! Always remember what Dr. Maxwell Maltz said: "Remember, you will not always win! But there is always a tomorrow - after you have done your best to achieve success today."
HAVE A DREAM THAT WILL OUTLIVE YOU AND THAT IS BIGGER THAN YOU!
PRAYER POINTS: Take 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.
CHORUS:
Count your blessings, Name them one by one;
Count your blessings, See what God hath done;
Count your blessings, Name them one by one;
Count your many blessings, See what God 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 be 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, money cannot buy
Your re-ward in Heaven, nor your home on high.
4. So, amid the conflict, whether great or small,
Do not be discouraged, God is over all;
Count your many blessings, angels will attend,
Help and comfort give you to your journey's end.
PRAYERS
1. Pray about today's message as it has affected you.
2. Ask for the wisdom, courage and grace to go the extra mile and do what others are not doing. Lord, make me uncommon.
3. O Lord, promote me and take me from the crowd. Bless the extra effort I shall inject into my private life, family and ministry.
4. Pray about the anointing service of this weekend!
5. Pray seriously about your life as led now.
