ROUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS
DATE: WEDNESDAY 29TH APRIL, 2020
TOPIC: THE MARATHONER: THE FORCE OF DETERMINATION!
BASIC SCRIPTURES: (2 TIMOTHY 4:7-8; 2 CORINTHIANS 4:7-10)
A man with muscular dystrophy, an inherited disease in which there is a progressive degeneration of muscles of the skeleton, completed a marathon race in 16 hours, 46 minutes (Approximately 17 hours).
At the time he was born with this disease, doctors gave him only 7 days to live. Not only did he live beyond 7 days, he lived to become a man.
Oh! Those who have limited you, written you off, given up on you and are waiting to hear your end-story, shall be disappointed by your God in Jesus name. Instead of being restricted to a wheel chair, he lived to enrol for a marathon race. He ran the race and got to the finish line. Many able-bodied men who enrolled for the marathon did not even show up at all due to fear; others ran the race but quit midway.
But this man, in spite of his medical condition, proved many wrong by completing the race. Though he was the last person to finish, anyhow and somehow, he completed the marathon to the astonishment of those who thought he could not even run at all.
Now read what this woman from Ghana wrote.’’ I got pregnant at 15 while in secondary school; 8 months after having the baby, I went back to complete my secondary education. Today, I have a Masters degree from the United Kingdom and my son whom I had at 15, has just graduated from university with a Law degree. The shame and isolation I had from my native Ghana at the time was beyond my ability.
I lost some of my childhood friends because I had a baby at 15 but I told myself that I would never allow that to kill my dream.’’ Wow! This is determination in motion! Every MOUNTAIN becomes a PLAIN when you are determined.
A notable sportsman tattooed his body and wrote, “Pain is temporary, victory is sure.” Determination is the tonic that keeps achievers/
champions going; it is a key element in enduring temporary setbacks and the achievement of ultimate success.
No matter how life and indeed the year has been, be determined to make a difference! The late but great Maya Angelou wrote: “You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”
Oh! Life may not be fair to you, but learn from this marathoner and this Ghanaian lady. Be determined, say to yourself: “I shall not quit! I shall start again and before my last breath, I shall be celebrated. I shall say like Apostle Paul in today’s 1st scripture Vs. 7: “I HAVE FOUGHT A GOOD FIGHT.”
What have you fought this year and how are you fighting? Life is like a marathon race, you must push yourself to the finishing line by fighting self-pity, depression, fear of the future and anxiety daily.
The words of Og Mandino are worthy of note: “Failure will never overtake you if your determination to succeed is strong enough.”
Hold on and hold out!

SONG 1: WHEN THE ROLL IS CALLED UP YONDER
1. When the trumpet of the Lord shall sound, and time shall be no more,
And the morning breaks, eternal, bright and fair
When the saved of earth shall gather over on the other shore,
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
REFRAIN:
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll, is called up yon-der,
When the roll is called up yonder I'll be there
2. On that bright and cloudless morning when the dead in Christ shall rise,
And the glory of His resurrection share
When His chosen ones shall gather to their home beyond the skies,
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
3. Let us labor for the Master from the dawn till setting sun,
Let us talk of all His wondrous love and care
Then when all of life is over, and our work on earth is done,
And the roll is called up yonder, I'll be there.
