OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS
DATE: THURSDAY 23RD APRIL, 2020
TOPIC: JUST AFTER THAT FAILURE!
BASIC SCRIPTURE: (ACTS 2:14-36)
Welcome to another devotional encounter with the STORM STOPPER! Hear Arnold Palmer: “During my 18 years, I came to bat almost 10,000 times.
I struck out about, 1,700 times and walked maybe, 1, 800 times.
You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at bats a season. That means I played seven years without ever hitting the ball.” Did you get that? He was playing without results!
Hear Mickey Mantle: “Always make a total effort, even when the odds are against you.” Even when nothing is working or things seem slow, refuse to quit! It is mistake that provoke miracles! It is errors that birth elevation! Yes! It is failures that give birth to fortunes!
Hear Richard Yates: “If you don’t try at anything, you can’t fail… it takes backbone to lead the life you want.”
Indeed, it seems that failure tends to be more public than success. You try to avoid it, and you question yourself every time you have uncommon ideas because you fear to fail. But the simple truth is – no great success was ever achieved without failure. It may be one epic failure.
Or a series of failures – such as Edison’s 10,000 attempts to create a light bulb or Dyson’s 5,126 attempts to invent a bag-less vacuum cleaner. But, whether we like it or not, failure is necessary stepping stone to achieving our dreams. In life, failure should be your teacher and not your cemetery!
STOP CONDEMNING YOURSELF! Failure is delay, not defeat! It is a temporary detour (bend), not a dead end. Failure is something you can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing. AND THAT MEANS YOU ARE AS GOOD AS DEAD!
It was the moral failure of DAVID that gave birth to Psalm 51. FAILURE IS NOT FINAL except you allow it to be so! Peter denied Christ three times! But did Peter’s failure exclude him from success?
No! He restored Peter in a dramatic moment of the Sea of Galilee (John 21:15-17) and Peter became the leader of the disciples, preaching the first evangelical historic message after which more than 3,000 people got saved (Act 2:14-36).
Wow! Sometimes your best days are just after a major failure/mistake! This is because failure and mistake are LADDERS OF MERCY! Move on, trust God and watch God elevate you beyond measure! (Get ready for the Anointing service in 48 hours time! This is your hour)!
PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 2: Standing On The Promises Of God…

2. LORD, help me to face life and win! Help me to face life and conquer!

4. Oh you my destiny, you shall not be buried in the ocean of MISTAKES and past ERRORS! I
DETERMINE TO MOVE ON!
5. Sometimes your best days are just after a major failure/mistake! Lord God of Peter, use every mistake and error of my past to RE-WRITE my DESTINY STORY again this year in Jesus name Pray it seriously for 5 days and 5 nights).

SONG 2: STANDING ON THE PROMISES OF GOD
1. Standing on the promises of Christ my king,
Through eternal ages let his praises ring;
Glory in the highest, I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
Refrain:
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God my Saviour;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
2. Standing on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God.
3. Standing on the promises I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God.
4. Standing on the promises of Christ the Lord,
Bound to him eternally by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
5. Standing on the promises I cannot fall,
Listening every moment to the Spirit’s call,
Resting in my Savior as my all in all,
Standing on the promises of God.
