Our Daily Manna July 24, 2017: ODM devotional – The Chicago Fire: Determination Separates Winners

God wants you to be determined even in the fire!

Topic — The Chicago Fire: Determination Separates Winners [Monday 24 July, 2017]

(Genesis 22:1-6; 2 Corinthians 4:17-18).

The morning after the great Chicago fire, a group of merchants stood in State Street looking at the smoking remains of what had been their superstores. They had a meeting to decide if they would try to rebuild or leave Chicago and start over in a more promising section of the country. They reached a decision –all except one to leave Chicago. The merchant who decided to stay and rebuild, pointed a finger at the remains of his once vibrant store and said, “Gentlemen, on that very spot, I will build the world’s greatest store, no matter how many times it may burn down.”

That was a very long time ago. The store was built. It stands there today, a towering monument to the power of determination as were exhibited by Mr. Marshall Field. God wants you to be determined even in the fire!Never complain or murmur even when the events around your life defy explanantion. Hear what your grandfather (Abraham) said even when he was facing a big trial: “Abide ye here with the ass: and I and the lad will go and worship and come to you.” Did he not come again to them? Say great things about your life, family, business, job, or ministry, even if all you see delay, or defeat.

Keep saying what you want to be and not what you are! Keep saying what you want to see! What you want to be is more permanent than what you are ( 2 Cor 4: 18)! Mr Blake said. “There is no mistake so great as the mistake of not going on.” Please keep seeing where you are going and God will never allow you to be ashamed! Read 2 Corinthians 4:18 and Isaiah 49:23 now.

Pray for me Dr Chris, against a blackmailing syndicate that is determined to “pull down” this vision if I don’t give them money and a house. The battle is the Lord’s Also some journalists who claim to be from Sahara Reporters and other sites send me daily texts asking for money or they would publish “sensational stories” about me! My hands are EVER CLEAN BY HIS GRACE and the LORD will CONTEND with them! PRAY FOR ME DAILY! SCATTER THEIR GANG-UP-AGAINST ODM! See page 53 and read more!
