*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DAILY DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: MONDAY 16TH SEPTEMBER, 2019*
*TOPIC: I HAVE A DREAM – Part 1*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: HABAKKUK 2:1-14*
Below are parts of one of the most celebrated speeches in human history! It was given by Martin Luther King Jr. on August 28th 1963 on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington DC. I was at that spot last year! I call him, “Prophet” Martin Luther King Jr. No matter how 2019 has been, let the speech fire you to dream new dreams and keep seeing where you are going in life, family and ministry:
“Let us not wallow in the valley of despair. Even though we face the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day, this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are born equal.’
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin, but by the content of their character. I have a dream that one day, in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governors having their lips dripping with the words of ‘Interposition’ and ‘nullification’ – one day, right there in Alabama, little black boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream that one day, every valley shall be exalted and every hill and mountain shall be made low; the rough places will be made plain and the crooked places will be made straight, and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together…” *(TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW)!*
Though a white man assassinated him just 5 years after this speech, has all flfesh not seen the glory of the Lord in America today? Even death could not stop the dream! Is Alabama not today a free state? Are the whites and black not living like brothers and sisters? Note that whatever dreams (goals) you have will come to pass if you hold on despite the lies of the devil. Hear Claude Bristol: *“What you pick in your mind; if you picture it clearly and confidently and persistently enough,, will eventually come to pass in your life.”* Obstacles are upstarters! You are near to that dream. Just hold on against all odds in this second half of 2019! I see GREATER GLORY in Jesus name!

*PRAYER POINTS:* Take Song 1: What A Friend We Have In Jesus…
1. In your own words, pray about today’s word as led.
2. Pray about your life’s goals and 2019 goals again.
3. Every great dream has obstacles! Ask for the grace to win over dream killers/obstacles. Ask for the grace to wait for the vision. *Pray about today seriously now.*

*Song 1: What A Friend We Have In Jesus*
1. What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer!
O what peace we often forfeit
O what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer.
2. Have we trials and temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Can we find a friend so faithful
Who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness
Take it to the Lord in prayer.
