OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*
_A DAILY DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: FRIDAY 25TH OCTOBER, 2019*
*TOPIC: HIS THUMBPRINT IS ON YOU! KEEP MOVING!*
*BASIC SCRIPTURE: GENESIS 19:17-26*
One of the temptations every man or woman must prepare to face and resolve to overcome is the temptation to look back! The instruction of the angel in Verse 17 of today’s scripture is clear:
*“Escape for your life, DO NOT LOOK BEHIND YOU…”* If you have no future to look forward to, it will be impossible to resist the temptation to look back. Lot’s wife had no future to forward to. *She had lived all her life for Sodom and Gomorrah and not for Jehovah God.* Because she had nothing to look forward to, she looked back, and she became a pillar of salt (Genesis 19:26).
*Do you know that the rear view mirror of a car is always smaller than the wind shield?* This is because it is more important to focus on where you are going to, than where you have left behind. I will say that again, in another way. *Nothing Is More Important To You Now Than Where You Are Going To. Pay More Attention To Where You Are Going To Than To Where And What You Have Left Behind.* What have you left behind? What abusive relationships have you left behind? What are those hurtful things in your *past that you have left behind?* The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward!
Hear Martin Luther King Jnr: *“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”* C.S. Lewis admonished thus:
“There are far, far better things ahead than any we leave behind.” I remember Byron Pulsifer: “What is past is past and it does not forbode well to relive past mistakes or transgressions. Move forward rather than being struck in the past. No one can redo the past but everyone can create a better future.” As 2019 ends, the Spirit of God is charging you today: DON’T LOOK BACK because God’s THUMBPRINT IS ON YOU! Your life will show the world that MIRACLES still happen! Hold on! Hold out! Keep moving!
*THIS LAZARUS MUST RISE AGAIN!*
*TOMORROW SATURDAY OCTOBER 26TH IS LAGOS (OGUDU) OCTOBER ANOINTING SERVICE!*
*TIME: 8am – 11:30am. Theme: “THIS LAZARUS MUST RISE AGAIN.” I shall lay hands on all present! DISCOVER THE SECRETS OF RAISING EVERY DEAD LAZARUS! WOW! Satan is in trouble!*
*PRAYER POINTS:* Take Song 1: Higher Ground…
1. In your own words, pray on today’s word as led.
2. I will not look back. I will move forward and higher into the brighter future that God has for me in Jesus name.
3. I am marching forward! Lord, use my life to show the world that MIRACLES still happen *(Pray it seriously for 7 days).*
4. Pray about today as led now. *Pray for me.* Pray about the Lagos anointing service!

*Song 1: I’m Pressing On The Upward Way.*
1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining every day;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
*Refrain:*
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith on Canaan’s tableland;
A higher plane than I have found,
Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.
2. My heart has no desire to stay
Where doubts arise and fears dismay;
Though some may dwell where these abound,
My prayer, my aim, is higher ground.
3. I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught the joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground.
4. I want to scale the utmost height
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till rest I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.�
