OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL???
A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS
DATE: SUNDAY 3RD FEBRUARY, 2019
TOPIC: THEY WROTE THEIR EXAMS IN WEDDING GOWNS: GIVE LIFE WHAT IT TAKES!?
BASIC SCRIPTURE: PHILIPPIANS 4:10:20?
Sometimes in April 2018, in my home country Nigeria, an interesting thing happened. Two female students of Benue State University, Makurdi, Benue State, stunned the whole university community. The two female Mass Communication students were in their final year. The university had fixed their final paper for the course code name, COM 402; Media Law and Ethics. The students too had fixed their wedding dates. Somehow and somewhere along the line, there was a coincidence; their wedding and examination date coincided. It was a Saturday. Something dramatic however happened. The two newly-weds left the wedding mid-way; they left their husbands behind with their bridal trains and went into the examination hall in their wedding gowns to write the final examination paper. Their course lecturer said the two brides entered the examination hall amidst jubilation and excitement. Hear his word, “I was with the Deputy Vice – Chancellor (academics) when both women stormed the examination hall.
It was a moment of joy for all of us as students and lecturers. We were happy that our students got married and they (students) were happy too that they got married and also took their last exams same day. It was double joy for them.” A member of the University Examination Monitoring Team was elated to see the two female students in their wedding gowns with the utmost desire to graduate. Life they say is not a bed of roses. You have to give whatever it takes to succeed at it. These two ladies were determined to write their papers and graduate. They could have given excuses not to write their final exams. In spite of all the road blocks, they went to the hall, dressed in the most unusual manner and took their final papers.
Denies Waitley said “Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the road blocks that lay before you.” Part of today’s scripture says in Vs 13: “I can do all things through Him who gives me strength.” With the LORD supplying strength, then NO MORE EXCUSES! You can win and win! May your determination DISGRACE YOUR HATERS! Don’t let sin be an obstacle to your making it to Heaven! Don’t let laziness or sleep be an obstacle to your success in life! Don’t let your family background be an obstacle that will put your back on the ground! Don’t allow that DELAY to stop you! Give life whatever it takes for you to make it legitimately! Push on! Hold on! Hold out! March on! I can hear your STORY TO GLORY song so near! Amen!
The Great International Asaba Special Anointing Service Is On Friday 8th, 6pm and Saturday 9th, 7:30am Due To Nigerian General Elections. Theme: “Satanic Saloons: Catch Fire!” Venue is the CENOTAPH.

Songs 1: Higher Ground?
1. I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining everyday;
Still praying as I onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Chorus
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.”
