OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL???
_A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
DATE: SATURDAY 29TH DECEMBER, 2018
TOPIC: 3 KINDS OF PEOPLE!?
BASIC SCRIPTURES: EXODUS 15:22-27; JEREMIAH 2:13?
It was Booker T. Washington who wrote: “If you want to lift yourself up, lift up someone else.” Then Ezra Taft Benson opined: “If you really want to receive joy and happiness, then serve others with all your hearts. Lift their burden, and your own burden will be lighter.” I learnt years ago that there are three kinds of people – the Flint, the Sponge and the Honeycomb. To get something out of the Flint, you hammer it. But then it gives you only chips and sparks. To get something from a Sponge, you squeeze it, and the more pressure you apply, the more you get out of it. But out of the three, the Honeycomb just overflows its sweetness all by itself. It has so much goodness within itself that it must give abundantly without force. Yes! It gives out what is in it WITHOUT FORCE and that is how your life and ministry must be as 2018 ends.
Be a Honeycomb! Live an overflowing life because you are carrying THE PRINCE OF LIFE within you! You have LIVING WATER in you (2nd scripture)! Your life is so filled that it should constantly overflow with love, courage, boldness, faith and inspiration. What you do not have you cannot share! What God has not done IN YOU, He cannot do THROUGH YOU. Being a blessing, begins by being the blessed! It is when you learn, live and serve in such a way that your cup is always “More Than Enough,” that you are set to take others up! Close with my dear friend Bernard Meltzer: “There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.” Oh! Be the Honeycomb as you go out daily! Make others sweet even in your tough battles and you will never end up in the land of MARAH (bitterness).
_FASTING BEGINS ON SATURDAY JANUARY 5TH._
_WORLD ANOINTING NIGHT IS JANUARY 25TH, 7PM – 3AM._
_The 2019 ODM and “War Against Haman – 14” booklets are out! Give to FAMILY/FRIENDS this month as New Year gifts items. The “War Against Haman – 14” booklet contains the 2019 January 21-day fasting prayers! Your STORY to GLORY secrets are hidden therein! GET YOUR COPIES NOW!_

Song 1: My Faith Looks Up To Thee.?
1. My faith looks up to Thee,
Thou Lamb of Calvary,
Saviour divine!
Now hear me while I pray,
Take all my guilt away,
Oh, let me from this day,
Be wholly Thine!
2. May Thy rich grace impact
Strength to my fainting heart,
My zeal inspire!
As Thou hast died for me,
Oh, may my love to Thee
Pure, warm and changeless be,
A living fire!
3. While life’s dark maze I tread,
And griefs around me spread,
Be Thou my guide;
Bid darkness turn to day,
Wipe sorrow’s tears away,
Nor let me ever stray
From Thee aside.
4. When end life’s transient dream,
When death’s cold, sullen stream
Shall o’er me roll;
Blest Saviour, then in love,
Fear and distrust remove
Oh, bear me safe above
A ransomed soul!
