Hebrew 12:1-4; Job 34:1; Luke 12:7; Hebrews 4:13

Topic:
PLEASE DON’T GIVE UP❗

Memory verse: 
Hebrew 12:1

Message:
Often times, we face various life situations that push us to the point of attempting to give up and throw in the towel. It may be a health issue, a broken relationship, financial problems or depression. If you have found yourself at that point today, there is a word of encouragement for you. Hebrews 12 gives you a powerful reason to keep on keeping on.

Our text reveals that we have an audience, a heavenly audience that is watching and cheering us. God is the first member of this watching host. As Job says, “He Sees everything I do and every step I take. And Jesus tells us in Luke that, “Even every hair on your head has been counted”. God does not want you to fail and will not allow you to fail. Don’t yield to that temptation because God is watching. In one of our texts, the Bible declares, “And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him with whom we must give account.”

Moreover, the Heavenly audience is also made up of saints of old, people like Abraham, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, Job, Hannah, and so on. Men and Women of faith who passed through the various hills and valleys of life and came out triumphant. If you can listen well, you will hear them saying, “If we made it, you too can make it.” Some of them went through much worse circumstances than you are going through now and yet they never gave up. They are watching to see how well you are enduring. When you feel like giving up, remember the people who have gone before you and are offering you encouragement through their life stories of faith.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
A reflection on the life of men and women of faith energizes our hearts and offers us the courage and wisdom to move on with our faith life.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me to be continually encouraged by the testimonies of the saints who had gone before me.


BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
Psalm 26 – 28; Acts 15 :1 -21

Deut. 32:35; Proverbs 25:21-22

Topic:
WHY NOT AVOID VENGEANCE❓

Memory verse:
Romans 12:19

Message:
There’s no way one will conceive VENGEANCE without contemplating EVIL. And to contemplate evil, one must COMPULSORILY move outside the realms of “LIGHT”, in order to pally with “DARKNESS” in the darkness. Regardless of the duration of one’s stay in the “dark regions” in such season to cogitate on or cook up a vengeance plan, and execute the same, what it literally means is that such a person had willingly surrendered or brought himself or herself under the domain and dominion of darkness. it’s more like the person is saying to the powers of darkness, “Here I am, use me; I lend myself to you as a willing instrument of evil, use me for your evil purpose”.

It’s impossible to throw mud, which one scooped with his or her bare hands, without getting one’s hand dirtied. The same way, it’s impossible to conceive vengeance without partnering with darkness.

Through when some people get to execute the vengeance they conceived, they may feel that justice has been served. But the question is: on whose law was such justice based- God’s, Satan’s, or men? Of course, it’s not God’s law. God clearly states that vengeance belongs to Him (Deut. 32:35). So, it must either be man’s or Satan’s law. And whether it is Satan’s or of men, it’s surely a faulty law. The very perfection of both entities makes it practically impossible for whatever law they promulgate against God’s clear edict to be faultless. And any justice that is premised on a faulty law is no justice at all; “An unjust law”, as Saint Augustine rightly observed, “is no law at all.”

In other words, in sight of God, vengeance is nothing but anarchy, in spite of what names human tag it. Whosoever conceives and executes vengeance lives the life of a rebel against his or her creator. Before God, evil is evil, be it committed as an offense or as a vengeance. And as the Scriptures says, “Though hand join in hand, the wicked will not go unpunished” (Proverbs 11:21). God will not hold the guilty guiltless. Avoid vengeance!


CONTROLLING THOUGHT:
He alone, that created both light and darkness, is the only One qualified to take vengeance; for He created us all. Avoid vengeance.

PRAYER:
Lord, grant me a heart that forgives rather than seek vengeance. Amen.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
2Kings 7-8; Matthew 13:1-30.

2Corinthians 6:16-18

Topic:
DO YOU KNOW❗ GOD’S WORD IS YES AND AMEN❓

Memory verse:
1Corinthians 3:16

Message:
Naturally, when an infinite mind tries to communicate something to a finite mind, what is being communicated may seem to the latter like an illusory, a mirage. Yes, in spite of how priceless the subject of communication, it might just end up being viewed like a typical work of an illusionist- whose original intent is not necessarily to communicate anything of substance, but just to make a stunning impression on the mind of the observer. Hence, they refer to such stunts as “The more you look, the less you see”.

But God is NOT AN ILLUSIONIST. He says what He means and means what He says.

In our text today, God refers to us, the saints, as His temple. The whole idea is simply to convey to us the understanding that we are unique. God Himself resides in us. And He expresses Himself through us. Put differently, we’re meant to be the most brilliant expression of God’s invisibility.

To the natural mind, it will seem so elusive, yet, the reality is that God meant every word of it. We are His temple; He resides in us; and He manifests Himself through us. It is therefore necessary that we see ourselves that way, and equally behave accordingly- and live as those whose lives are the dwelling place of the Spirit of the Holy One and the God of limitless possibilities.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Insist on being ALL that God says about you; He meant EVERYTHING He says about you.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me to believe and behave according to all that You have said about me. Amen.

DANIEL 9:10 – 11

Topic :
HOW PRAYERFUL ARE YOU❓

Memory verse:
1 Thessa. 5:17

Message:
As Fire exists by Burning, Aquarium by Water, Believers in Christ exist by Prayer. Prayer is the believer’s sources of spiritual Strength and Energy. Prayer is indeed the engine room of the believer, both physically and spiritually. A prayerless  Christian is a baseless Christian. In fact, he is a powerless Christian too.

Worst still, there are people who see Prayer as a business venture. They commercialize prayer and make merchandise of the grace of God. Child of God, Prayer should be a habit as it was for the saints of old. Remember that the saints of old who made prayer a habit reaped bountifully its fruits. Their prayer life was the attraction point of God’s answers.

We read of Daniel praying three times a day, “AS HE DID AFORETIME.” His was a life of prayer. He did not just wake up to pray because there was a challenge. The Bible says, “Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, …. He kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, AS HE DID AFORETIME” (Dan. 6:10). It must be emphasized that prayer is not a last option for the believer.

Unfortunately, many people resort to prayer as the last option. Let us imbibe the habit of prayer. Let us not treat prayer as a magic wand. The power of habitual prayer cannot be overemphasized as it was evidenced in the mighty deliverance which God granted Daniel in the lions’ Den.


CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Prayer should be our Steering Wheel and not our Spare Tyre.

PRAYER:
Lord, give me the grace to pray to You always. Amen.

Eccl. 9:10 – 13

Topic :
DO YOU KNOW❗IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME❓

Memory verse:
Ecclesiastes 3:11

Message:
The difference between a man who is high up in politics, business, ministry, etc, and the one who is down the line struggling might just be a matter of time, other variables notwithstanding. It’s a matter of time where you are now is not your destination. You might be passing through a dark tunnel of rejection, frustration, persecution, intimidation accusations, lack, sicknesses, deaths, etc, believe it’s a matter of time. There shall be light at the end of the tunnel, if you don’t give up. Be encouraged, never to give up!

It is as sure as heaven that you won’t remain in your present circumstances forever. God will soon bring you out of that ugly situation and to your promised Land. It’s your time and season to be favoured. God is about to pull you out of that situation. God is about to bring you out of that horrible experience.

God will pay your debts and settle your bills. You will come out of that mess with a message that would impact your generation. God is opening doors for you. People shall celebrate you. You will triumphantly overcome that temptation. Praise God, for He can do more than we ask or imagine.

“He makes everything beautiful in his time…” (Eccl. 3:11). The time to favour you has come. Joseph was in the prison for  two years, but one day one day he was brought to the palace and was made a Prime Minister of Egypt the same day. Modecai was a gate man for years, but with the turn of events, he was made second in command in a strange land . Even here in Nigeria Chief Olusegun Obasanjo became the Nigerian civilian president from prison. There are also many examples of this. It’s just a matter of time. Wait and don’t give up.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Be patient. God’s time is the best.

PRAYER:
Lord help me to wait for Your time and season. Amen.

DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Tuesday 14th July, 2020

*TOPIC:*
ARE YOU NOT MORE THAN CONQUERORS❓

MEMORY VERSE:

“Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry? Let him sing psalms” (James 5:13).


TEXT
ROM. 8:35-39, JAMES 5:13

MESSAGE

In Romans, Paul gives the list of some excruciating experiences which followers of Christ will face in the world. They include trouble, hardship, persecution,
famine, nakedness, danger, sword and death. We can add unemployment, bereavement, barrenness, not being married, etc. One word for all these may
be tribulations, sponsored by Satan with the aim of weakening the faith of the child of God or separating him or her completely from Christ.


There is yet any true follower of Christ who has never been through tribulations, (Acts 14:22; Phil. 1:29) Psalm 34:17 says, *the righteous will have many troubles but from which the Lord will deliver him.* Paul was an amazing spiritual colossus, yet an angel of Satan buffeted him with a thorn in his flesh and to worsen matters, God denied him deliverance despite his intense prayers (2 Cor. 12:7-10). According to the Scripture, this thorn was to make him humble and God gave him sufficient grace to bear it.


Although a Child of God will cry in tribulation and some people laugh at him or her and give misleading interpretations, God will always give them sufficient grace, comfort and beautiful testimonies at the end. The Bible says we should be patient in triburation, (Rom. 12:10), rejoice in tribulation, (Rom 5:3), endure hardship (2Tim. 2:3), pray when in trouble (James 5:13). Second Corinthians 4 tells us of the indescribable glory that awaits us if we don’t lose heart in tribulations. Therefore, as Apostle Paul testifies, we shall emerge triumphant, Stronger in faith, in every tribulation in the name of Jesus. Our love for the LORD will not be diminished by hardship. Let us not laugh at those who are in affliction as though it is because of their sins, lack of faith or poor prayer Iife. Isaac, the covenant child of Abraham had a decent marriage yet was, barren for 20 years (Genesis 25). No matter what you are going through, you are more than conquerors.


CONTROLLING THOUGHTS

Believers are more than conquerors.

PRAYER

May i see my victory, even in times of trouble in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Text:
Exodus 16:2, 17:1-4

TOPIC:
ARE YOU STILL MURMURING❓

MEMORY VERSE:
Phil. 1:14

Message:
One of the major things a Christian should avoid is murmuring. It is extremely dangerous to murmur. From the text we read, the Israelites murmured against Moses and God when they had no water and food to eat in the wilderness, they were remembering the fish, cucumbers and onions they ate in Egypt.

Today, many things cause children of God to murmur including: the unbecoming attitude of some leaders, administrative inefficiency, delayed promises and deferred expectations. But whatever the reasons might be, we must learn to overcome the temptation to murmur. We should avoid murmuring because it angers God (Numb. 11:1). God may take you at your word as your word as you murmur. Murmuring causes others to murmur. Murmuring is infectious(Num. 11:5).

How to overcome it is by being grateful to God. Keep praising Him, knowing that victory will come. Apply the word of God in every situation of life. Remember, there are people praying to be like you right now.

Murmuring is sin against God. It drives away the Holy Spirit and makes us think that God hates us. Rather than giving your life to murmuring, show gratitude to God and count your blessings. It will surprise you what God has done. Maintain a life of praise and worship. God will make all things to be for your good.

CONTROLLING THOUGHT:
Complaining doesn’t solve problems, it attracts them.

PRAYER:
Oh Lord, help me not to live a life of ingratitude Amen.

Genesis 37:1 -11

Topic:
HAVE YOU DISCOVERED YOUR PURPOSE FOR LIVING❓

Memory verse: 
Ecclesiastes 3:1

Message:
There is a purpose to everything under heaven. God is a God of purpose and every human being on earth has a purpose for living. Have you discovered your Own purpose for living???? The narration of Joseph’s dreams could be regarded as local and impossible. The first dream was in a farm and the second one had to do with celestial bodies. However, Joseph discovered and fulfilled his purpose.
When your purpose is not known, the abuse of existence becomes inevitable and when existence is abused, you lose relevance. According to Frank Sonnenberg an English American Writer, there are threads that bind a life with purpose.

Firstly📌, live by your beliefs and values. Core beliefs and values influence your decisions and determine your short and long term priorities.

Secondly,📌 set priorities.  Identify activities that matters most to you and spend our lives.

Thirdly,📌 follow your passion. Put your heart into everything you do. Pursue your dream with fervor. Dream as if you will live forever and live as if you will die today.

Fourthly,📌 achieve balance and maximize your potentials. Put your heart into your career and into building relationships with friends and family.

Fifthly,📌 feel content. Have an inner peace. Be satisfied with who you are and what you have. The grass is greener on your own side of the fence.

Sixthly,📌 with a difference. Make a meaningful difference in someone else’s life. “A candle loses nothing by lighting another candle.”

Lastly📌 but not the least, live in the moment. Cherish every moment and seek to live life without regret.

No matter the challenges that you have in life, be encouraged that the Lord will help you to fulfill your purpose in life. Just lean on Him and the season of fulfilment will certainly come… IAM expecting to hear AMEN from you…

CONTROLLINGTHOUGHTS:
Live a purposeful life.

PRAYER:
Lord, help me know and fulfill my purpose for living. Amen.

PHIL. 3:12- 18

TOPIC:
CAN YOU INFLUENCE OTHERS❓

MEMORY VERSES:
PHIL. 3:17

Message:
Today, we shall start the devotional with a story… Throughout her days at the Abia State University.
Chiamaka was exceptional and outstanding. She lived a very simple life style contrary to her sophisticated life style before she got born again. At a point, her friends started looking like her, both in speech and appearance. People could easily identify her and her friends because they dressed differently from others. A remarkable change in the life of a believer can attract others to live like the believer.

From the text we read, Paul the great man of God is our model. Paul, as we know before his conversion, was a Doctor of Law, a member of the Sanderin, a great persecutor of believers and a member of the ruling class. He was no mean man in his time. But when he met Christ, his life changed from what he was notoriously known for “persecutor of believers” to “an example of a believer”.

Having reminded us of the need to persevere in our walk with God, he challenge believers to join others in following his example. This piece of advice is very important to believers today because many are dangerously drifting away from God’s standard. If a man of these vast pedigree will later serve God with devotion and whole hearted commitment, you can as well. He had a focus and his focus was heaven. Has Christ in any way remarkably changed your life attainments? How do you influence people for the Kingdom of God? Can you boldly say to people follow my steps? Can people access your devotion to God and choose to follow you? Please, live a life that will influence others positively


CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
You will never influence the world by trying to look like it. Stay Godly.


PRAYER:
Oh Lord, to be like Jesus is all I want, give me the grace. Amen.

Proverbs 9:6-10; Matthew 7:24-27

TOPIC:
PLEASE ❗DON’T BE A FOOL.. Biko❗

MEMORY VERSES:
Proverbs 9:8

Message:
A fool is a person who acts unwisely or imprudently, a silly person. There are so many lessons to learn from the Bible about foolish people. A fool does not learn from his  mistakes. The Bible gives us quite a few characteristics of foolish people that can help us better understand their behavior and learn  to avoid their habits or mind sets. A fool does not desire the instructions of the Bible and will not adhere to its wisdom. The following are the behaviors of a fool and every child of God should know:

He speaks without reasoning (Prov.17:27-28)

He meddles in the matters of others (Prov. 26:17)

He has no self – control (Prov. 25:28)

He speaks quickly (Prov.29: 11-20)

He never plans ahead (Prov. 19; 2, 14; 15):

He puts his hope in money (Prov. 11:28, 15:16)

He is stingy (Prov.28:22, 19:17);

He is easily enticed (Prov. 7;21-23)

He is  stubborn (Prov. 12:15)

And he repeats mistakes (Prov. 26:11)

The book of Ephesians 5:15-17 admonishes us to be very careful. We are asked to live, not as fools, but as the wise, making the most of every opportunity. The Lord gives us wisdom and from His mouth comes knowledge and understanding. Wisdom is available, all we need to do is to go ask for it. Pray for freedom from all foolish tendencies.

CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Do not rest in the ease and comfort of foolishness.

PRAYER:
Father, endow me with wisdom from above.
