*OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL*???
_A DEVOTIONAL BOOKLET FOR CHAMPIONS_
*DATE: WEDNESDAY 10TH OCTOBER, 2018*?
*TOPIC: THE TOP MAKES YOU A TOPIC! HOLD ON!*?
*BASIC SCRIPTURES: MATTHEW 10:22-27; LUKE 21:15-19*?
I once heard the COMPLAINT of a young man in his late 30's, and I would love to share it with you today. Michael is a devoted child of God who while growing up, went through several thick and thin experiences. In fact, getting a Bachelor's degree in Project Management was one of his greatest testimonies, because there was no helper! Today, Michael is a top Project Manager with a multinational company in his country. It is also interesting to know that in just 6 years, he has risen to the top of the organization, *a feat that has never been achieved in just a few years in that organization.*
Do you know Michael's complaint? *He said he heard negative things about himself despite all his efforts to be good to everyone,* and that it seemed like some of his colleagues hated him. But the Holy Ghost wants you to know that Michael is a typical example of many believers who have forgotten that *WHEN YOU GET TO THE TOP, YOU WILL BECOME A TOPIC!*
Whichever area of your life you find yourself as a leader or a sent man, always remember that it will come with its own responsibilities, benefits and destructive criticism due to ENVY. *In life/ministry, men will either ENVY you or PITY you! The CHOICE IS YOURS!* So while you are on the ladder to the TOP or praying to God to be lifted, always include in your prayers that He equips you with the wisdom, character, strength, patience and perseverance that you will need at the top!
*Truth is that CHARISMA can take you to the TOP but it is CHARACTER that will keep you there!* Expect attacks from TOXIC HATERS/JEALOUS PEOPLE! Was our Lord Jesus Christ not insulted, rejected and criticized? Yes, but He didn't allow other people's opinions to stop Him from focusing on His mission! *1Peter 2:23 says, *"When they hurled their insults at Him, He did not retaliate; when He suffered, He made no threats. Instead He entrusted Himself to the One who judges righteously. "*
I have Jewish friends and I can confirm that even HIS OWN people didn't and still don't believe in Him (Mark 6:1-6) and in what God had appointed Him to do. If you desire to be perpetually relevant in God's agenda and stay at the TOP, then be ready to be a TOPIC everywhere you go! An anonymous quote says - *" Often people that criticize your life are usually the same people that don't know the price you paid to get to where you are today."* So pay the price that TOP PEOPLE pay and keep rising, keep moving! I see you at the TOP! Amen and amen! Pray now!
*PRAYER POINTS:* Take Song 2: When The Morning Comes.??
1. Thank God for today's word and pray as led.
2. I refuse to faint at the top! I shall not quit due to attacks! Father, THOROUGHLY EQUIP me on this journey of greatness.
3. I am meant for the Top! I am the HEAD and not the TAIL and enemies shall fall for my sake. *Pray about today and on any other issue(s) as led.*

*Song 2: When The Morning Comes*?
1. Trails dark on ev'ry hand,
And we cannot understand
All the ways that God would lead us
To that blessed Promised Land;
But He'll guide us with His eye,
And we'll follow till we die;
We will understand it better by and by.
*Chorus*
By and by, when the morning comes,
All the saints of God are gathering home,
Tell the story how we’ve overcome,
We will understand it better by and by.
2. Oft our cherished plans have failed, disappointments have prevailed,
And we’ve wandered in the darkness, heavyhearted and alone;
But we’re trusting in the Lord, and according to His Word,
We will understand it better by and by.
3. Temptations, hidden snares often take us unawares,
And our hearts are made to bleed for each thoughtless word or deed;
And we wonder why the test when we try to do our best,
But will understand it better by and by.
