DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Tuesday 31  December 2019

Text : PROV. 30: 24-31

Topic : HOW ARE YOU PLANNING YOURSELF❓

Memory verse:
Proverbs 30:25

Message :
From the human perspective, ants are reputably among the tiniest insects on earth. Ants are too infinitesimal. We climb on them, crush them with the soles of our feet or with our finger – tips without even noticing. However, the text today reveals something special about the ants – they are meticulous and are always well – prepared . They prepare for their future so that they will not starve. How much of a planner are you? Do you live your life in a disorganised or shabby way? Really, this has nothing to do with your economic or spiritual status. How organised is your office, family, church and wherever you are in charge of?

You can achieve a lot more if you get more organised. Yes, you can, unfortunately, we live in a world that a typical person wants to lump up things and then later rummage the rubble. But as we look at the God we serve you will notice that we serve a God who is well organised. He created the heavens and the earth in an orderly pattern ( Genesis 1). God is not the author of confusion. He is a God of order. We therefore must emulate Him and be organised.

The truth is that one of the reasons we were not able to actualise some of our goals this year is that we were very much disorganised. One of the greatest favours we can do to ourselves as we approach the New Year is to take some time to organise our lives before we cross over into it. It is time to have an organised prayer life, financial plan, living and work environments. It is time to put things in order if we must move forward.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS :
Do not spiritualise organisational issues.

PRAYER:
Lord,  I ask for grace to be organised in every sphere of my life.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR :
Malachi 1-4 ; Luke 24: 36-53

Text : Judges 6 : 11- 24

Topic : DO YOU KNOW YOUR WORTH❓

Memory verse:
Judges 6:12

Message :
The above Bible text is derived from the event that happened while Gideon was threshing wheat at the wine press. Here, the Angel of the Lord called Gideon a mighty man of valour. Notice that despite the fact that Gideon had not yet fought and defeated the intimidating Midianites, God still saw the great valour in Gideon.

Are you a believer? If you are, then you are not a loser, for there is greatness in you to win the battles of life. Remember that you are the branch of a Vine and Christ is the true Vine (John 15:1-7). Stop looking at yourself with pity and unworthiness. Start now to see the greatness in you through Christ.

The words that the Angel of the Lord spoke to Gideon greatly boosted his confidence and self-worth and made him daring. Allow these words that you have read today to do the same thing to you. Where have you felt like a lay-back? Is it in your family, marriage, educational pursuit, Christian Life, finances, etc? Please be assured today that there is great valour in you. Receive the power to step out in boldness and overcome all those challenges. Keep on, do not give up for after now, comes a great victory.

What you do not know is that you are yet to harness the great potentials that God has deposited in you. You are not useless. There is something in you that your generation needs. The world is waiting for the manifestation of your valour.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS :
There is greatness in you to overcome every challenge.

PRAYER:
Lord, by your power, I receive great valour to succeed.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR :
Zechariah 9-12 ; Luke 23:26-56

Topic: ARE YOU STILL LYING TO YOURSELVES❓

Text: Psalm 119:27-32

Memory verse
Psalm 119: 29

Message:
Self Deception is the worst of all acts of deception. When many centuries ago, the playwright, William Shakespeare admonished, …” *tell thyself the truth”,** He must have been shocked by the unbelievable way people propagate falsehood even to the extent of lying to themselves.

Lying to yourself implies not accepting the truth you know to be so; not admitting your wrongs; consciously believing a lie.
It is cultivating a lifestyle that is opposite of your personal convictions.  The psalmist knew that the repercussions of lying to oneself can be damming and so he prayed earnestly that God should restrain him from such acts of self-delusion.

The secret to overcoming the tendency to self-deception is acquainting oneself with instruction from God’s Word. It is accepting and practising the Word of God in spite of what our feelings or friends may be demanding. It is a safe way of preserving one’s destiny. Let make that prayer of David our daily prayer.  It was this revelation that made Frederick Douglas declare, ” **I prefer to be true to myself, even at the hazard of incurring the ridicule of others, rather than to be false, and to incur my own abhorrence”.*
*
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Lying against someone is evil, but lying against Oneself is Suicidal.

PRAYER:
Lord, keep me from lying to myself.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
Zechariah 1-4; Luke 22:47-71

Complement of the season

DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Sunday 22 December 2019

Topic:: ARE YOU OBEYING DIVINE GUIDANCE❓

Text: Luke 2:41-44

Memory verse
Luke 2:43 -44

Message:
Joseph and Marry took seriously every instruction they received about the child Jesus. At one time, they had taken refuge in Egypt, all in obedience to divine instruction. In fact, every step they took was based on divine instruction. They didn’t just live anyhow. But it could be, as the years rolled by, they loosened up their sensitivity to divine guidance. Perhaps this explains why none of them knew that the child Jesus tarried in Jerusalem, but supposed he went home with some other people.

For a consistent quality relationship with God, it is very important that we remain sensitive to divine guidance. Regardless of our attainments in God, we should never come to the point of taking spiritual issues for granted, or to just ” COPY and PASTE” whatever we see other people do, without really being certain whether or not such “things” are approved by God. Instead, just like Joseph and Mary did at the earlier days of their walk with God , every decision and every step we take should be birthed through prayer and specific divine counsel – and not merely guided by our previous experiences or by what we just heard or saw other people do.

The Christian Life is neither a gamble nor is it designed to be guided by conviction or mindset of somebody we fancy. We must never allow our eyes to wander off God. At each time, we must seek to be certain were we are with God , instead of wasting precious times and treasures chasing shadows.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
We must never allow our eyes  to wander off God. At each time, we must seek to be certain were we are with God

PRAYER:
Lord, today, I commit to make certain that every step I take is ordained by you.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR :
Nehemiah 10-11; Luke 20;27-47.

Text:
1 John 2:15-17

Topic:
WHAT IS YOUR OWN VIEW❓

Memory verse:
Matthew 5:8

Message:
Studies by the Barna Group and Covenant Eyes in the United States have revealed that over 40 million Americans are regular visitors to pornographic websites where they watch videos or pictures of naked men and women. An average visit is said to last between 29 seconds and 6 minutes. But more alarming at a global level is that there are around 42 million pornographic websites, which totals about 370 million pages of pornography for people to feast their eyes on.

The studies, extracts of which were published in an article by Luke Gibbons in Prophesy News Watch Magazine also disclosed that pornography increases marital infidelity rate by more than 300% and that 68% of church-going men and over 50% of Pastors view pornography on a regular basis.

You may say, “Wow! This is happening in America?” But, the truth is that although the numbers are not available in Nigeria, the trend is not too different across the world. Pornography is designed by the devil to poison, pollute and destroy the minds of millions of people. It is very very ADDICTIVE.
(1Corinthians 6:12; 2Peter 2:19)
and DESTRUCTIVE (Proverbs 6:25-28; Ezekiel 20:30; Ephesians 4:19). Lusting after other people in our minds, which is the essence of pornography, is offensive to God.

We must have it settled in our minds that the love of this world and the lust therefore will at best make us enemies of God. BECAREFUL!

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Don’t allow your eyes lead you to sin

PRAYER:
Give me strength, O Lord, to resist the lust of the eyes and the lust of the flesh so that I don’t make myself an enemy and a stranger to You in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
Ezra 6-8; 2 Timothy 3
