OUR DAILY MANNA DEVOTIONAL FOR 20TH JULY 2020.
Genesis 1:2 says: “And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.” So before creation started, DARKNESS existed. It was UPON THE FACE OF THE DEEP! But what is DARKNESS? It can mean THE ABSENCE OF LIGHT!
As a Pharmacist and from my science classes, I know Light can be studied, but not darkness. In fact, we can use Newton’s prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. But you cannot measure darkness! A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? This is done by measuring the amount of light present.
That means DARKNESS is a word used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present! Did you get that? Darkness is the absence of light; WHICH MEANS THE ABSENCE OF THE WILL OF GOD! Oh, apologies for my unsolicited Physics class. But know that at the beginning of creation, God withdrew light after the initial ANGELIC REVOLT OF LUCIFER! The earth was without form and void.
It was shapeless and void after the great, failed REBELLION which turned ANGELS to DEMONS! So, out of darkness everything today that is great and bright was created! DARKNESS is a sign that God is busy planning! He plans great things in the DARK! Darkness can mean the unseen; the unknown future, the mysterious delays, which create anxiety, fear and worry!
But when things around you are tough and rough, and your way out seems IMPOSSIBLE (unknown and dark), then rejoice because something great is about to be born! Psalm 18:11 says: “He made darkness His secret place; His pavilion round about Him were dark waters and thick clouds of the skies.” DARKNESS IS HIS SECRET “FACTORY” where great/INCREDIBLE destinies are manufactured!
That is why you must never give up even when your life or ministry has no meaning anymore! GOD’s SECRET FORMULA of GREAT CREATION is hidden in the dark seasons of your life!God planned David’s escape from SAUL in the dark! Psalm 18 was written when God delivered DAVID FROM THE WICKED ARROWS OF KING SAUL!
That victory of DAVID took Saul by surprise because it was planned in God’s SECRET PLACE – DARKNESS! Ask me also, and I will remind you that this ODM vision was born in a dark season of my life in which I wanted to commit suicide! Hold on AND HOLD OUT! This fasting programme will favour you! Sow your “SEED FOR THE INCREDIBLE” as led.
ODM PRAYER POINTS FOR TODAY 20TH JULY 2020.
Take any song of praise as led.
In your own words, pray about today’s word as led now.
What I don’t understand is DARKNESS; I refuse to curse God or give up. Lord, create that great testimony out of every dark battle of my destiny in Jesus name.
I reject anxiety or worry! I reject self-pity or comparing myself to others.
Our Daily Manna also known as ODM is written by Bishop Dr. Chris Kwakpovwe. It is a daily devotional booklet that started in the form of a Daily prayer guide for church members and brethren in a form of two printed sheets. Read more
