Topic: ZERO TO HERO- MANNY PACQUIAO PART 2
Biblical Text: “ For I know the thoughts that I think towards you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you an expected end”. [Jeremiah 29:11]
Manny Pacquicao was born on December 17, 1978, in one of the poorest slums in Philippines. He is the fourth among six siblings. His parents separated when he was in sixth grade. Due to extreme poverty, Pacquicao dropped out of school and ran away from home at the age of 12. He sold bread and worked at construction sites before joining the Philippine national amateur boxing team. He went to the United States and made his debut in boxing as a last-minute replacement to fight one of the super bantam weight division most feared champion. He won the fight convincingly and went on to become the first and only eight division champion. However, he had series of setbacks ranging from gambling, alcoholism and womanizing which affected him negatively. One day, he heard God ask him, My child, why have you gone astray? He cried, gave his life to Christ and that ignited his hunger and desire for the Word of God. Pacquicao secured 10 world titles under his belt with a boxing record of 57 wins! He knew Jesus took him from a nobody to a somebody. Pacquicao publicly affirms his faith in Jesus Christ. For God to take you from a zero to a hero, you must give your life to Christ and talk about Him at the slightest opportunity just like Manny.
KNOW IT ∞ Accepting Jesus into your life is the catalyst for God to take you from a zero to a hero.
READ IT ∞ Psalm 8:4, 111:5, 115:12
PRAY IT ∞ Father, give me the grace to publicly affirm my believe in you as you make me a hero.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR ∞ Ephesians 1-3
