Our Daily Manna 6 July 2021 Day 6
TOPIC: THE MISSING OPEN BANK CHEQUE!
BASIC SCRIPTURES: JOHN 5: 37-47;
37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
38 And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not.
39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.
40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might have life.
41 I receive not honour from men.
42 But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
43 I am come in my Father’s name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
44 How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?
45 Do not think that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, in whom ye trust.
46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me; for he wrote of me.
47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
MATTHEW 7:1
7 Judge not, that ye be not judged.
Our Daily Manna 6 July 2021 Day 6
A successful couple invited the pastor of their church for dinner in their home in Califonia, United States of America. After the pastor left, the couple realized that their cheque had disappeared. The man said to his wife, “I think the pastor has stolen the $25,000 open bank cheque that I kept here on the table of which I had the intention to give to him.” Angrily his wife exclaimed, “Hmmmml All of them are just the same. If they are not fake, they are thieves. There is no need to invite him again, we shall henceforth be attending another church.” Two months later, the woman met the pastor on a certain street and was courageous enough to face him and said: “Good morning pastor, you have surely realized that we no longer attend church; this is because we’re angry with you. The day you ate in our house, there was a $25,000 open bank cheque on the table but unfortunately, it disappeared while we were eating. You were the only person who visited our house at that time. The pastor said to her, “Yes, I took the cheque. But I put it in your Bible to avoid spilling the sauce on it.” The woman became so confused and asked the pastor to forgive her. Back in her house, she took up the Bible and found the bank cheque which had been there for two months. Wow! This meant that for two months, she had not opened her Bible. And this is the story of many Christians and churchgoers today. They can go to church with their Bibles but do not open it. They just listen to their pastor and go home until another Sunday morning. But the Holy Ghost wants you to be different! Use today’s devotional to cancel LAZINESS or PROCRASTINATION! Verse 39 of today’s 1st scripture says: “Search the scriptures: for these are they which testify of Me.” THEY TESTIFY of HIM! They are TESTIMONY MAGNETS! They are TESTIMONY FIRES!

PRAYER POINTS: Take Song 1: Higher ground…
1 I’m pressing on the upward way,
New heights I’m gaining ev’ry day;
Still praying as I’m onward bound,
“Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.”
Refrain:
Lord, lift me up, and let me stand
By faith, on heaven’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. [Refrain]
3 I want to live above the world,
Though Satan’s darts at me are hurled;
For faith has caught a joyful sound,
The song of saints on higher ground. [Refrain]
4 I want to scale the utmost height,
And catch a gleam of glory bright;
But still I’ll pray till heav’n I’ve found,
“Lord, lead me on to higher ground.” [Refrain]
