DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Wednesday 20 November 2019

TOPIC:
CAN YOU SPEAK OUT FOR GOD❓

KEY VERSE:
“Therefore prepare yourself and arise, and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed before their faces, lest I dismay you before them” (Jer. 1:17).

TEXT:
Exodus 4:10-12; Jeremiah 1:11-19

MESSAGE:
The message in the key verse is loud and clear: Get up! Prepare yourself! Go and speak all that God has comamnded you to speak today. Do it with a confidence in Him. The story of Moses is similar to most of our personal experiences.

When God called him to be His spokesman, his mind, rather, got fixed on his own weaknesses. “Then Moses said to the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither before nor since You have spoken to Your servant; but I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.” So the Lord said to him, “Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Have not I, the Lord? Now therefore, go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what to say.”

You will notice here that God’s concern wasn’t Moses’ ability but availability. All God wanted was his yieldedness. The NIV translation of the verse above says “I will help you speak” while the NKJV and the NASB, says, “I will be with your mouth.”

God will be with your mouth today. He will tell you exactly what you need to say to the people He will bring across your path. Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “This is the way, walk in it, whenever you turn to the right hand or left (Isa 30:21). Don’t let today pass by without speaking to some people on God’s behalf. Tell the people God’s Word. Be God’s spokesperson today!

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
As we open our mouths today, God will fill it with His words.

PRAYER:
Lord, grant me the boldness to be Your mouth piece today.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
1 Chronicles 25-27; Luke 4:1-30

Text:
Genesis 3:1-6; 22-24

Topic:
DO YOU WANT TO LOSE “ALL” JUST BECAUSE OF “ONE”❓

Memory verse:
Genesis 3:23

Message:
Very often, we do not take out time to think deeply about the consequences of each of our actions and inactions. But, the truth is that for everything we do or fail to do, there is always a follow up to it. Our prayer today should be that we do not lose so much in our effort to gain very little. In other words, we don’t have to lose our dollars while trying to gain some cents.

From our test, you will notice that by just eating a fruit, Adam and Eve lost a whole garden full of even more precious fruits. They were thrown out of the garden of Eden into a world of thorns and thistles, suffering and sweating because they made one wrong choice. The experience is also true of Esau who for just a single meal, lost the whole blessing that could have been his.

These days, we are aware that some young persons have lost some scholarship opportunities, juicy job placements, valuable mentoring relationships and other good things of life simply because they traded the immediate for the ultimate. If you do not want that to become your experience, you must develop a good sense of contentment, learn to practise delayed gratification and make a commitment of total allegiance to God’s will for your life.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Obedience to God and life of contentment can safe-guard our blessings.

PRAYER:
Help me to overcome the temptation of trading the ultimate for the immediate.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
1 Chronicles 16-18; Luke 2:1-24

DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Monday 18 November 2019

*TOPIC*:
*ARE YOU STILL CONTROLLED BY ANGER❓*

*KEY VERSE*:
“Don’t sin by letting anger control you”(Ephesians 4:26).

*TEXT*:Eph. 4:26-27

*MESSAGE*:
When “ANGER” is consiously or unconsciously stored up in the heart, it becomes “DANGER”. it inevitably reflects in ones behaviour negatively. It could make one to overreact at the slightest provocation, revealing the bitterness buried in the heart. Often, such anger or bitterness is rooted in the event(s) of the past – perhaps an unfair treatment that was endured at a younger age or an abuse or insult one had to put up with at the work place or even in the street. While the one who stores up anger in his or her heart is not free, the most unfortunate thing is that those who often bear the brunt of such anger and bitterness are mostly innocent people.

Though created with a capacity of anger, the human heart is not meant to store up anger. This is because anger is like a terrible acid that inevitably destroys its container and poisons the surrounding environs. The Bible wisely instructs us to not let the sun go down while we are yet angry (Eph.4:26). In other words, we’re not to sleep over anger; for the longer anger stays in the heart, the more power it gains to control our lives, and ultimately destroys us.
in other words any delayed ANGER=DANGER

For our own good, we must get rid of anger in all it’s forms – be it stored up in our hearts or the one we “entertain” intermittently. It all begins by releasing ourselves to God, and turning over to Him whatever issue that is trying to brew and store up anger in our hearts. As we trust His love, faithfulness,and sovereignty, He will help us, release us from past hurts, give us the ability to forgive and the freedom to live above the control of anger.

*CONTROLLING THOUGHTS*:
Do not sleep over anger; for the longer anger stays in the heart, the more power it gains to control and ultimately destroy a life.

*PRAYER*:
Lord, today I release to you every anger lodged in my heart, and receive your healing and comfort. I will no longer be controlled by anger.

*BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:*
Ezekiel 16-17; John 11:30-57

Sunday 17 November 2019. 

Text:
Mark 7:24-30

TOPIC:
DO YOU KNOW❗ IT IS POSSIBLE❓

Memory Verse:
Mark 9:23

Message:
A story was told of when Dwight Whyms was rushed to the hospital with kidney failure, collapsed lungs and a failed liver. His parents went into the emergency room and the doctor said, “I’m sorry, your son is dying.” His mother looked at her son and then looked at the doctor, “You have no right to say that,” “You are not God” she added. The Doctor ran the list of ominious signs. The liver and kidneys had failed. The lungs had collapsed. The heart had stopped beating twice and they resuscitated him. “But is there a possibility that he will live?” She further queried. The doctor managed to mumble a ‘Yes, ‘It is a possibility, but it is not probable.” The mother demanded again to know if it was ever possible for his son to survive and the doctor maintained that the chances were very slim. Then she assured the doctor that her son was not going to die. Three(3) weeks later Whyms was talking, walking and discharged from the hospital.

What we believe above every other thing has a way of becoming a POSSIBILITY. The power of faith is such a mighty force that it opens closed doors, restores lost fortunes and even brings the dead back to life. The Syro-Phoenician woman had enough faith for the healing of her daughter and she got it. What is it that you are dearly in need of❓ Can you believe God for its POSSIBILITY❓ Can you raise your confidence beyond the realm of PROBABLY to that of POSSIBILITY❓ All things are possible to him that believes.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
We serve a God of all possibilities. Believe Him and see a miracle Today! Yes I mean Today! Today!

PRAYER:
Lord, I believe in You. And I know With you all things are POSSIBLE

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
1 Chronicles 19-21; Luke 2:25-52

2 Samuel 11:8 -17
Matthew 1:6

TOPIC:
ARE YOU GETTING DEEP CONVICTIONS❓

Memory Verse:
2 Samuel 11:11

Message:
A conviction is a strong belief that governs ones decisions that one is willing even to die for it. “John Maxwell” describes it as a strong inward compass. History is replete with stories of men and women who changed their world by the power of CONVICTION.

The Scripture tells how Joseph’s CONVICTION enabled him to say ‘no’ to sexual pleasure and pressure.
Daniel’s CONVICTION led him to refuse tasting the dainties from the king’s table.
Esther’s CONVICTION led HER to risk her to appear before King Ahasuerus uninvited.

Our text illustrates the power of deep convictions. Uriah’s action were born out of deep personal CONVICTIONS. His convictions prevented him from enjoying the pleasure of intimacy with his wife when his fellow soldiers were sacrificing their lives on the battle field. His convictions could not allow him to rest while the ark of God’s covenant remains in the open field. Even under the influence of wine, his convictions made him to sleep on the floor with the servants of David instead of returning home.

Little wonder the Holy Spirit insisted on immortalising his name by bringing it into the genealogy of Jesus Christ. What are your CONVICTIONS? On which truth and values are your CONVICTIONS based? Today’s lesson offers us the opportunity of developing deeper CONVICTIONS.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
If you are not standing for something, you can fall for anything. The other way round you cannot place something on nothing and expect it to hold

PRAYER:
Lord, help me to develop deep convictions based on the revelation of your word.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
2 Samuel 23-24;  Colossians 1

TOPIC:
ARE YOU PLANNING WISELY❓

KEY VERSE:
“Any enterprise is built by wise planning, becomes strong through common sense and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of the facts” (Prov. 24:3-4, TLB).

TEXT: Proverbs 24:1-5

MESSAGE:
A man was travelling and stopped at an intersection. He asked an elderly man, “Where does this road take me?” The elderly person asked, “Where do you want to go?” The man replied, “I don’t know.” The elderly person said, “Then you take any road.” What difference does it make? When we don’t know where we are going, any road will take us there. The place of planning cannot be overemphasised as we dream of success in all our endeavors. The problem is that many of us unfortunately leave the task of planning our lives in the hands of God. God’s word does not encourage such foolishness. In fact God’s word recommends that we make our plans and present them to God for rectification and blessings. Proverbs 16;1, 3 (GNT) states: “We may make our plans but God has the last word”. Ask the Lord to bless your plans, and you will be successful In carrying them out.

In This remaining months of the year , if you really want to succeed you must make out time to set your goals; and through sanctified common sense; draw tangible plans of how you hope to actualise them and then take it to the Lord in prayer. As God’s blessings come upon your plans success shall keep meeting you along the paths of life.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Failing to plan is planning to fail.

PRAYER:
Lord, make me a wise planner today.

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:
2 Samuel 19-20; 2 John

1 Kings 20:38-43

TOPIC: ARE YOU STILL BUSY TRAPING YOURSELF❓

Memory Verse:
1 Kings 20:40

Message:
“A Wise Man” told a story of a very strong woodcutter who got  a job from a Timber Merchant. The conditions of service were so good that the woodcutter determined to do his best. His boss gave him an axe and showed him the area where he was supposed to work.

The first day, the woodcutter brought 18 tress. His boss congratulated him and he was inspired by the commendation, he tried harder the next day but he could only bring 15 trees. The third day he tried even harder but he could only bring 10 trees. Day after day he was bringing less and less trees. “I must be losing my strength,” the woodcutter thought. He went to the boss and  apologized saying that he could not understand what was going on. “When was the last time you sharpened your axe?” “Sharpen? I had no time to sharpen my axe. I have been very busy trying to cut trees.”

In life, those who are too busy eventually turn out to be barren. ACTIVITY must be separated from PRODUCTIVITY. If we desire to be more productive, we must understand that it requires that we make DAILY PLANS that factor in a time for REST, RECREATION and SHARPENING of Skill. In our text 1king 20:40 you will notice that the young prophet in the parable stood the risk of losing his life because of over-busyness. Do not let that be your experience. Do not sacrifice your productivity at the altar of over busyness. Like my friend Becky will always want to work round the clock working for the boss leaving every other activities behind. Do not lose your marriage, valuable friends or your spiritual connections because of busyness.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Over busyness stifles our productivity.

PRAYER:
Lord, deliver us from the trap of unnecessary BUSYness

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
1 Chronicles 1-3;  Jude
