ODM Daily For Champions 2nd September 2018
TOPIC: CREATE YOUR OWN WILDERNESS!
Basic Scriptures: Luke 12: 12-16 Matthew 14:22-23
Verse 16 of today’s 1st scripture(paraphrased) says:“And He withdrew Himself into the wilderness” or rather, “He frequently withdrew into the desert.” This was the meaning of the original Greek words, “HN UPOCWRWN” used. Read Our Daily Manna 1st September 2018 – “You Can Break Existing Records!”

Your Supreme example, your Master, The LORD, made it a frequent custom to withdraw from the multitudes for a time and pray, thereby teaching ministers of the Gospel and indeed every serious child of God that they are to receive fresh supplies of OIL, light and power from God by prayer; so that they may be more successful in their work and WALK WITH HIM – they ought to seek frequent opportunities of being alone with God for study and prayer.
Note the word: “WITHDREW”- which means in this context, TO TAKE A HARD DECISION BY FORCE because this world, full of tantalizing pleasures and 21st century amusements will not let you go easily! It means to GET OUT OF A SITUATION BY FORCE! That means in the midst of so many distractions and diversions, God wants you to WITHDRAW YOURSELF BY FORCE from TV, social media platforms, useless visitations, unprofitable books or magazines, your phones, etc, from time to time.

It is not going to be EASY FOR YOUR FLESH! The LORD WITHDREW TO THE WILDERNESS – A PLACE OF INCONVENIENCE! To make an impact in your world, you must create your own wilderness! Deliberately make yourself uncomfortable sometimes, in order to be with GOD in prayer and private devotion. A man without a strong private devotion will end up in a loud public disgrace!
Why is there so much preaching and so little power in our days? Is it not because the preachers associate themselves too much with the world, keep too long in the crowd, and are so seldom in private fellowship with God? Oh, determine to create your own wilderness even if you live in a palace!
