DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Monday 5th October, 2020

Text:
1Chronicles4:9-10; Matthew 11:12

TOPIC:
DO YOU KNOW❗ YOUR DESTINY IS IN YOUR HANDS ❓

MEMORY VERSE:
“Fight the good fight of faith” (1Tim. 6:12)

Message:
Jesus said that since the time of John the Baptist till now, the Kingdom of God has advanced *_(progressed)_* forcefully *( _by force_ )* and only the people who are able to force *_(push)_* their way through enter into it *_(paraphrased)_* (Matt. 11:12). The road to the kingdom of God is full of oppositions and obstacles, only a man who can breakthrough these barriers will make heaven.

Life is full of battles and in Christianity we fight more dangerous wars. We are at war with the flesh, the world, principalities and powers. It is not a battle that is waged with weapons of physical violence. It is a spiritual battle. Our enemies are real and will not bow to them. This demands a fight!

Jabez is a Bible character that understands the nature of spiritual warfare. Though his world was turned upside down, he did not sit down crying and bemoaning his fate. He took his destiny into his hands interceded for himself. Jabez called on the God of Israel. ( *1Chronicles 4:10* ). He did not just mumble prayers; he ‘called’. He shouted; he screamed; he cried out! A man in serious need does not mumble prayers. When you see a Christian praying and falling asleep, know that he has not sensed real danger. When his pains become excruciating or his condition unbearable, he cannot but cry out.

What are you doing in your own case? Only those who seek the Lord earnestly will find Him (Jer. 29:13). Ask, if you are to receive. Seek, if you are to find. Knock, if the door is to be opened to you (Matt. 7:7). Arise, take your destiny into your hands and fight for your liberation. No one can help you better than yourself. So, arise and fight! “The kingdom of God suffereth violence” and only the violent take it, and this they do by force. Take your destiny into your hand in the fervency of prayers.

CONTROLLING THOUGHT:
Prayer sharpens destinies.

PRAYER:
As I take my destiny into my hands today and fight for my liberation, may every opposition or barrier in my way be dismantled. Amen.

BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
Ezekiel 35-36; John 17
