Genesis 12:1-6
Topic:
WHY NOT TRUST GOD❓
Memory verse:
Genesis 12:1
Message:
Trusting God sometimes means stepping out by faith even when you do not know where you are going. Your location sometimes will affect your allocation. One of the worst things that can happen to you in life is to be in a place where God has left. It also becomes tragic when you remain in a place where your assignment has finished. Today, many people are struggling because they lack perceptive ability; they are staying in a place where they have been retired. New grounds produce new glories. Many times, we fear the uncertain future than relying on the certain God.
The Lord spoke to Abram at age 75 to leave his father’s house to a place that He will show him. Notice, as at this time, Abram was an old man. He was used to his father’s land, possibly he had built his retirement house, and maybe he had already settled in his heart that he had few days to spend on earth. The moment God spoke to him, he obeyed with prompt action. New assignments renew our lives. The problem with some of us is that the comfort in our present place has made us overlook the greater miracle that awaits when we leave. For some, the fear of the uncertain future has crippled their chances of making it to the next level; while for others, the frustration of starting all over again has robbed them of the greater height they could have achieved.
Today, the evidence of our trust is our willingness to step out of our comfort zone to do God’s bindings. Let it be said of you that in spite of all odds you obeyed God and did it.
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Trust and obey for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus.
PRAYER:
Lord, help me to always trust in You. Amen.

Psalm 132-134; 2Corinthians 10

WILL YOU BE AN AGENT OF BAD NEWS❓
DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL
Thursday 27 August, 2020
Text:
Numbers 13:26-33
Topic:
WILL YOU BE AN AGENT OF BAD NEWS❓
Memory verse:
Numbers 13:32
Message:
An agent is one who acts for another. He could be a volunteer or a hired worker. We live in a world where almost every minute that passes, greets us with either good or bad news. Sometimes, both the bad and the good news come at the same time. The agents of these news, especially bad news, most times, do not know the negative effects of the news they spread.
They were sent to spy on a land that was flowing with milk and honey. They were expected to bring back good news; rather they brought back bad news. The ten spies in our text were agents of bad news. Believers should not be agents of bad news. The negative effects of the bad news they spread can be summarized as follows:
1. Bad news breaks the heart and weakens faith.
2. Bad news can kill instantly, ( Eg. Eli, the priest, and his daughter-in-law, died as a result of bad news, 1Sam. 4:19).
3. Bad news spreads farer and faster than epidemic.
4. Bad news can be more infectious than any malignant virus.
5. Bad news can be very destructive. It was bad news that made the son of Jonathan a cripple (2Sam. 4:4). When they heard of impending war, the servant while fleeing dropped him on the floor and he became permanently lame, and died a cripple even though blessed by God.
6. Bad news can be deceptive. Agents of bad news are discouragers, like the ten spies; agents of bad news always spread discouraging words.
Agents of bad news are sometimes sponsored by Satan to wreak havoc or used by men to achieve their selfish ends. Agents of bad news are heart breakers, like the servants of Job, “I only am escaped to tell thee….” Let’s not be agents of bad news. May we not be used by men or Satan to spread bad news! Rather than spread bad news, spread good news; spread God’s word and love.
CONTROLLING THOUGHT:
Resist the temptation of being used either by Satan or men to spread bad news.
PRAYER:
Lord, help me not to be agent of bad news. Amen.

HAVE YOU HEARD OF PERILOUS TIME ❓
DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL
Wednesday 26 August, 2020
Text:
2Timothy 3:1-13
Topic:
HAVE YOU HEARD OF PERILOUS TIME❓
Memory verse:
2Timothy 3:3
Message:
One of the major times mentioned in the Bible is the perilous times. Nobody knows how long such times will last but certainly they herald the last days of this earth system. Perilous means dangerous. In this dangerous time, the Bible records from the text above that people will be lovers of themselves, and self-centeredness will be the order of the day. They will crave and become crazy for wealth, boasters, children will be disobedient to their parents, unholy and without natural affection and all manner of things contrary to the word of God.
Many children of God give attention to things they should not, some allow false teachers to give them teachings contrary to the word of God. The Bible warns that we should go far away from such people. Any doctrine that is against the word of God should be avoided. Be mindful of what you watch, say, listen and do. Protect yourself from deceptive influences and temptation. Avoid negative communications and strong affinity with unbelievers lest they corrupt you.
Plato says that an “unexamined life is not worth living”. In this light, we are persuaded to see through the word of God continually and assess our lives consciously. Live a holy and righteous life. Live with the rapture in view.
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Evaluate your life in the light of the word of God and adjust where it does not line up with divine will so that you will be rapture ready.
PRAYER:
Father, please help me to live and check my life in view of rapture. Amen.

DO WE DESERVE ASKING FOR GOD’S FAVOUR ❓
DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL
TUESDAY 25 August 2020
Topic: *DO WE DESERVE ASKING FOR GOD’S FAVOUR ❓*
Text: Psalm 5:12; 84: 10-12
MESSAGE: Understanding what favour mean is crucial to understanding how it works. The word ‘favour’ was chosen by Bible translator as the closest English word to the original Hebrew “ratsown”, which means “pleasure, delight, favour, goodwill, and acceptance.” Our English word for favour has several meanings which are worth looking at:
❗ Something done or granted out of goodwill, rather than from justice or for remuneration; a kind act.
❗. Friendly or well-disposed regard; goodwill.
❗ The state of being approved or held in regard.
❗. Excessive kindness or unfair partiality; preferential treatment.
Most of us understand that when we ask God to do something for us, we’re asking for favour. It’s something that He would do out of His goodwill not because we deserve it. That’s the first definition of favour. But, when we ask God specifically for His favour on our live or over a situation, many of us do not understand what we are really asking. We’re are moving into second, third, and fourth definitions of favour and that’s where thing get a little murky. Being held in high regard; excessive kindness; preferential treatment: are we really supposed to be asking for these things as favour from the Lord?
As we study the Bible, you will notice that there are many people who asked specifically for favour and received it; Jacob, Moses, Ruth, and Nehemiah. Since there is no respect of persons with God, as you ask for His favour today, rest assured that He will answer you. But, let your request for His favour be in line with His goodwill and word.
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
A day of favour can be more rewarding than a year of labour.
PRAYER:
Lord, show me your favour and goodwill today.

ARE YOU RESPONDING TO YOUR ABILITY ❓
DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL
Monday 24 August 2020
Text:
John 13:1-15
TOPIC:
ARE YOU RESPONDING TO YOUR ABILITY❓
Memory Verse:
John 13:15
Message:
Once upon a time, there were four men named: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it. But, Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it. But, Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about it because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought that Anybody could do it and Nobody realised that Everybody would not do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody that Nobody did the Job that Anybody could have done in the first place.
Our lesson today calls for taking personal responsibility to serve others. It requires a commitment to the slogan: “If it is going to be, it is up to me.” The meal was ready but their feet were dirty. There was no servant who could wash their feet. Everybody was waiting for somebody to Volunteer to do it and Nobody Volunteered to do it. Then the Lord deliberately took over the responsibility in order to teach them that unforgettable lesson of humility. He washed their feet one after another.
Today and whenever duty calls, do not wait for somebody. Nobody may rise to the responsibility, so make up your mind to do it. Tell yourself that if you don’t do it, it may not get done.
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Irresponsibility means not responding to one’s ability.
PRAYER:
Lord, help me to always demonstrate responsibility by serving others.

WHY NOT PRAY ABOUT IT❓
DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL
Saturday 22 August, 2020
Text:
Psalm 35:1-2
TOPIC:
WHY NOT PRAY ABOUT IT❓
Memory Verse:
1 Peter 5:7
MESSAGE:
What is prayer? Prayer is a channel employed by believers to communicate with God. It is an acceptance or recognition of a need that requires superior power or assistance to handle. It should be the first and only resort when one is at the crossroads.
Prayer is admission that there are things or situations we cannot resolve by ourselves. It is the premise of the belief that there are challenges we cannot share with enemies. In this situation, the petitioner consider himself helpless and appeals to the supreme Being for deliverance and help.
Are you in a difficult situation now? Are too many forces, physical and spiritual, currently fighting you? Is your marriage delayed or crashing? Is sickness ravaging your home? Are your finances, business and sources of income, etc, closing down? Pray! Pray! Pray!
Take all your burdens to Jehovah, He knows what to do. Jesus cares about you. He can deliver you. Stop complaining and trying to fight back or defend yourself. You cannot save or help yourself. Pray about them all.
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Take your entire burden to Mighty God in prayer He knows what to do.
PRAYER:
Lord, help me to always take all my burdens to You in prayer and not to complain, fight or attempt to rely on my flesh.

HOW DO YOU HANDLE DAYS OF TROUBLE ❓
DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL
Friday 21 August 2020
TOPIC:
HOW DO YOU HANDLE DAYS OF TROUBLE❓
KEY VERSE:
“And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me” (Psalm 50:15,KJV)
TEXT:
Psalm 20:1-8; 50:15
MESSAGE:
Some days are not like others. A time comes when we wake up to meet some challenges that present themselves as insurmountable. At such times our best are never good enough. In fact, the more we try to grapple with the situation the more it gets out of hands. Some days like that pressures lose all their weights on us and want to press life out of our being. Sure moments are what the Bible calls the day of trouble. Unfortunately, such days cannot be wished away.
But God’s Word today tells us what to do when we meet such days. We are not to do our best to deal with it. We are not to go into hiding. We must not think of committing suicide. The Lord says, ‘call upon me in the day of trouble ‘.He said so because He is our trouble solver. There is no impossible situation with Him. The problem He cannot solve does not exist. The cause of the trouble is the subject matter. It makes no difference whether you, your parents, spouse, siblings, neighbours or even demons are the cause of the trouble. God says that all you need to do in the day of trouble is to call upon him.
The assurances of God’s Word in Psalm 20 should make us courageous enough to face this day.
“In your day of trouble, may the Lord be with you! May the God of Jacob keep you from all harm. May He send you aid from his sanctuary in Zion. May he remember with pleasure the gifts you have given Him, your sacrifices and burnt offerings. May he grant you your heart’s desire and fulfil all your plans. May there be shouts of joy when we hear the news of your victory, flags flying with praise to God for all that he has done for you. May He answer all your prayers!” from now and henceforth. Amen.
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
God is an ever present help in times of trouble.
PRAYER:
Lord I glorify your name for hearing my call in the day of trouble.

HOW DO YOU MANAGE YOUR INCOME ❓
DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL
THURSDAY 20 August, 2020
Text:
Phil. 4:12, Hebrews 13:5, Proverbs 13:22
Topic:
HOW DO YOU MANAGE YOUR INCOME❓
Memory verse:
Proverb 22:7
Message:
There is this saying that all days are not the same, save for a rainy day. When you don’t work, savings will work for you. A child of God should also know how to manage his finances to have a balance. He should be able to manage his spending according to his income. Believers have to apply wisdom in spending their monies. This is important in order to avoid financial bankruptcy and embarrassment from people. It is not surprising to say that some Christians live extravagantly. Before the end of the month, they become beggars and continue to seek financial assistance from their colleague or banks. In fact, we are expected to spend money with discretion and control. Do not be a man who strikes hands in pledge or puts up security for debts and you lack the means to pay back. As you make your bed so also you lie on it. Be wise in spending.
Apostle Paul admonished the Philippian Church believers to be prudent and contended with what they have whether fed satisfactorily or hungry. He also emphasized the need for believers to cope in times of living in plenty and act diligent. However, the writer of the book of Hebrews further said that God would never leave His children nor forsake them. Solomon identified that a good person leaves inheritance for his generations to come. When a person borrows money, incurs debts and dies untimely, the children are bound to suffer.
How do you use your income? One of the problems facing believers today is the inability to manage their money wisely and save a little. May the good Lord bless your income to promote your family in particular and the kingdom in general.
CONTROLLING THOUGHT:
A small debt produces a debtor, a large one- an enemy.
Prayer:
God make me to lend money to people instead of being a continuous borrower in Jesus’ name.

IS THE WIND OF THE SPIRIT IN YOUR FAVOUR ❓

Tuesday 18 August 2020

Zechariah 4:1-6
Topic:
IS THE WIND OF THE SPIRIT IN YOUR FAVOUR❓
Memory Verse:
Zechariah 4:6
Message:
Are you struggling or striving to make something happen? Maybe, you need a breakthrough in your finances or in a relationship. It is good to do everything we know to do in the natural, but we have to always remember that victory doesn’t come by might nor power, but by the Spirit of the living God.
One translation says, “it is by the breath of Almighty God.” When you know God is breathing in your direction and dare to take a leap of faith and say, “Yes, this is my time; I’m going to accomplish my dreams,” that’s when you will feel a wind beneath your wings lifting you up. That’s when you’ll feel a supernatural lift, an anointing that will help you accomplish what you could not accomplish on your own.
Today, know that the wind of God is blowing. This is your season. This is your time to believe again. Believe that God can open doors that no man can shut. Believe that He is working behind the scenes in your favour. Believe that it’s your season; it’s your time and get ready to embrace every blessing He has in store for you!
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Without God, we are nothing on our own.
PRAYER:
Father God, today, I surrender every area of my heart, my mind, my will and my emotions to You.

CAN YOU SPEAK OUT FOR GOD ❓
DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL
Saturday 15 August 2020
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.
