DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Sunday 7 July 2019

Text:
1 Samuel 17:31-50

TOPIC:
WHY NOT START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE❓

Memory Verse:
1 Samuel 17:50b

MESSAGE:
The problem with many people all over the world is that they are busy looking at, and complaining about what they do not have instead of thinking of and making use of what they have. Many people fix their eyes on the things that are lacking in their lives. They do not even ever consider the ones that are wasting without proper use in their lives. This is a wrong attitude towards life.

It should not be forgotten that Success is a Function of Effort and Effort put in the right direction
It should not also be forgotten that prosperity and success do not come from the things that are lacking or missing. Rather, they come from the things that are available and also been put into proper use.
King David is a perfect example of a man who considered and  put into use whatever he had available. His  encounter with Goliath illustrates this point better.

Goliath was a terrorist who taunted and tormented the entire nation of Israel. No one had courage to confront let alone fight him. The king had already conceded defeat. But, David arrived the scene, had confidence in the name of his God whom the uncircumcised Philistine mocked. He quickly announced to all his willingness to not not only challenge but also defeat and kill the man that mocked his God and the people of Israel.

When Saul heard of David’s decision, he clothed him with his garments and armour. But, Saul’s armour and garment became an impediments to David. He quickly removed them and told Saul he could not use them as they were strange to him. He took his sling and stones, which were laughed at and underrated by even the enemy, and confronted him in the name of the Lord and defeated him.

It does not matter how little or insignificant what you have may be. Trust in your GOD. Put it to into use. You shall see a miracle today!

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Stop looking at the things you do not have. Consider the ones you have, no matter how small, and put them into use.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me to put into use whatever You have given me.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
Deuteronomy 30-31; Acts 7:22-43

Happy Sunday…

DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL.
Saturday 7 July, 2019.

TEXT:
Genesis 13:8-13; 19:12-23

TOPIC:
CAN YOU TAKE ANOTHER LOOK AT YOUR CHOICES ❓

KEY VERSE:
Proverbs 14:12

MESSAGE:
One of the most painful discoveries a person can make is to find out that he is responsible for the word and tragedies that have befallen him because of a wrong choice. Every day, people make choices and every choice has a negative or positive impact on the maker. A choice can make a life; a choice can completely Mar a life. The choice made a lot according to our study text, will tell us more.

In Genesis 13, Abraham asked Lot, his nephew, to make a choice of destination between the right and left following the constant rift between their servants. Lot, who was a longer person, agreed to the proposal. He quickly “lifted up his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere…” and he “chose for himself all the plain…. and journeyed east” (verse 10-11). It is obvious that Lot’s choice was informed by materialism, if not greed. What his physical eyes saw caught his attraction.

However, the Bible records that the good looking path Lot had chosen was so because the Lord was yet to destroy it. The path Lot chose led to Sodom and Gomorrah, a city that was exceedingly wicked and sinful against the Lord. Soon, the Lord “rained brimstone and fire on the Sodom and Gomorrah. He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities…” (19:24-25). And, Lot lost all but his life and two daughters.

Beloved, what informs your daily choices? Are you like Lot? Are you being pushed by materialism, greed, lust, who, spouse, children, rivals, position, etc., or God? Kindly read our key verse above again!

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
a choice can make a life; a choice can completely mar a life.

PRAYER:
Father, please help me in my daily choice not to go astray or be moved by anyone or anything else except You.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
Deuteronomy 28-29; Acts 7:1-21.

DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Friday 5 July 2019

Text:
Matthew 21:17 -19

TOPIC:
WILL YOU DISAPPOINT GOD❓

Memory Verse:
Romans 7:4

MESSAGE:
God has never been purposeless in creation. From antiquity through the contemporary times, there has always been a defined aim behind every creation of God. In other words, God identifies a need before He creates both animate and inanimate being. And, GOD expects the creation to fulfill the need for which it has been created.

However, if any creation of God falls short in it’s fulfilment of the reason for which it was created, GOD would be DISAPPOINTED. A look at our study text,  explains better. Christ was approaching a fig tree that stood by the road with high expectation. JESUS was entering the street hungry and had nothing to eat. Then, He looked up and saw from a distance, a good-looking fig tree with green leaves all over. He then reasoned  that such healthy-looking-tree should produce an abundant fruit for consumption. Unfortunately, upon arrival, He saw nothing but leaves on the tree. Not even a single fruit! on the Tree🌲

Jesus became disappointed. That means the original purpose for creating the tree has been defeated. The Tree became nothing but a liability and has no longer reason to exist. Christ cursed the tree and it died immediately.

❗Are you bearing good fruits as God expects?
❗Are you fulfilling the lofty expectations of God over your life?
❗Are you producing for Christ?
If your answer is no, then, you are at The risk of His curse! Our prayer today shall be, “Lord deliver me from every form of fruitlessness and help me to start bearing fruits that match your expectations of me”.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
You are an image of GOD, you are required to bear fruit. CHRIST says I am the tree and You my branches any that refuses to bear Fruit shall be caught off.

PRAYER:
O Lord, help me to be among your branches that will bear the Fruit of righteousness…

DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Thursday 4 July, 2019.

TEXT:
Psalm 118:16-24

TOPIC:
WILL YOU BE AFRAID TO BE DIFFERENT❓

KEY VERSE:
Psalm 118:22

MESSAGE:
A Jewish legend that explains our key verse has it that when Solomon’s temple was under construction, all the stones sent from the quarry were practically the same size and shape. One day, however, a stone came that was different from all the rest. The builders said there is no place for this stone. It must be a mistake. So they rolled it to the edge of the cliff and pushed it over, into the valley of Kedron.

As the years went on (Solomon’s temple took seven years to build), the building was finally ready for the chief capstone. So they sent an order for it. “You must have it there” the stonecutters said. “The records show we sent to you already” they concluded. Their search proved fruitless. Then an old workman remembered, “There was a stone different from the rest and we thought there was no place for it. We pushed it over the cliff and into the valley.”

The workmen went into the valley of Kedron and there they found the Stone, now covered by lichen and debris- the very stone the builders had rejected. Now they had to hoist it to the top of the cliff and back to the construction site. When they put it in the place, it fits perfectly. The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone.

Do you feel dejected and rejected? Are you being isolated because you are different? Be encouraged by today’s message. This scripture became true of our Lord Jesus, it shall be the same for you.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
You are not a mistake; you can dare to be different.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me not to give up in life because of temporary rejection.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
Deuteronomy 22-24; Acts 5:22-42.

*DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL*

Wednesday 3 July 2019

Text:
Deuteronomy 30:15-19

TOPIC:
HOW DO YOU MAKE YOUR DAILY CHOICES❓

Memory Verse:
Deuteronomy 30:19

*MESSAGE* :
One of the precious gifts God gave to man is WILL POWER otherwise man will not differ from a robot. Some people say if God controls the whole power why is it that all men have not *repented* ? Why is it that there is still *evil* in the world? The answer is because of Free Will. Man is not a programmed machine that functions as a result of commands; he is a being that has the ability to make choices. Thus, what becomes of our lives is a function of our *Daily Choices* God will never Force you to make *Decision*
God will always Give Men second chances and still Forgive… While Men will always Get from God and still Forget…

God has finished His work; the rest falls in our hands. The place you were, The place you are now and The place you will be depends on the kind of decisions and choices you are making. Never envy successful people because they are Men and Women who took the decision to stand when others were sitting. They chose to be Outstanding when others were standing, to become the standard and pacesetters to others

Let nobody deceive you that your future is in the hands of a witch doctor or that your that refuses to render help to you. Rather Your future is the product of your Daily Choices. From our text, you could clearly see God charge His elect to make the right choices. Please make out something today to take deep thoughts about what the outcome of your life should be. And, based on that projected outcome, make credible daily choices about the use of your Time, the Friends you keep, your work ethics, and so on

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Our daily choices determine the outcome of our lives.

Today is one of those tomorrow you have been waiting for.

PRAYER:
Lord, please help me to always makes the RIGHT CHOICE.

Deuteronomy 19-21; Acts 5:1-21
