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

ARE YOU HIDING IN THE RIGHT PLACE ❓
DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL
Friday 02 October, 2020
Text:
Psalm 27:1-5
TOPIC:
ARE YOU HIDING IN THE RIGHT PLACE❓
Memory Verse:
Psalm 27:5
MESSAGE:
Have you ever watched children play hide and seek? They look for the best place to hide in the house or yard and wait quietly for their friend to try and find them. It’s a fun game for kids, but even as adults, we need a good place to hide from time to time. Sometimes, we need a place of refuge, we need a place of safety, and we need a place to rest when we feel overwhelmed by the circumstances of life, a place where the enemy of our soul can never find us.
The good news is that God has the perfect hiding place for you! You don’t have to hide in your job. You don’t have to hide in relationships. You don’t have to hide in food or addictions because God Himself promise to hide you! He freely offers you shelter from the storms of life any time you call upon His name.
Remember, there’s only one place the enemy cannot find you. There’s only one place where opposition cannot steal from you. There’s only one true place of safety and rest for your soul, and that is in the arms of Jesus. Know that He loves you, and He is ready to receive you when you call upon His name!
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Where you hide determines your vulnerability.
PRAYER:
Father, Thank You for hiding me in Your shelter and keeping me safe from the storms of life.
BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:

HOW MANY “TRUSTS” HAVE YOU BETRAYED ❓
DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL
Thursday 1st October 2020
Text:
Luke 16:1-8
TOPIC:
HOW MANY “TRUSTS” HAVE YOU BETRAYED❓
Memory Verse:
Luke 16:8
Message:
In mid-September 2018, all major news outlets went to town with story of a legislator of the Osun State House of Assembly who was caught stark naked on camera bathing in the market in the wee hours of the night. He was said to have been tricked by blackmailers who pretended to be spiritualists to believe that if he did the ritual, his space in public life and power would be secured. Unknown to him, everything was a setup. When he took the bait, they videoed him and used it to allegedly collect over #40 million from him to keep the video from going public.
In lieu of this, let’s take another look at the story told by Jesus in Luke 16 about the fraudulent steward. How devious the children of this age are! But come to think of it all, consider the complex thinking, the planning, the gathering of all the bits and pieces that went into this scheme, the co-ordination, the perfect execution, and you will agree that the children of this generation indeed have something to teach the saints of light about commitment to achieve goals.
How many Christians operate a business or company together? How many cooperate well in a group even inside the church? How many Christians trust the next saint? How many saints will not betray the trust of his/her brother or sister?
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
We need to do better than unbelievers.
PRAYER:
Father, help me to rise above the rot of this age, help me to live above the fallen standards of this world in Jesus’ name, Amen.
BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
1 Samuel 15-16, 2 Peter 1

IS SAUL AMONG THE PROPHETS❓
DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL
Tuesday 29 September 2020
Text:
1 Samuel 10:1-11; 19:20-24
TOPIC:
IS SAUL AMONG THE PROPHETS❓
Memory Verse:
1 Sam. 10:11
MESSAGE:
The surprises expressed by the people when they heard Saul prophesy seems to suggest that there is more to being a prophet than prophesying. In fact, for repeating the question, “Is SAUL also among the prophets?” One should be left to maintain the claim that the hood does not really make the monk.
Being a prophet of God requires that one will first of all be a child of God. And then in answer to God’s call to service the person will dedicate his or her life to prayer, walking with God solitude, living a life of a moral rectitude, developing a courageous heart and labouring in His vineyard. Unfortunately, Saul could not really answer that question.
Assuming YOU are being posed with the same question today, what will be your response? Certainly, our generation is in dire need of true prophets. Our nation is the way it is today because genuine prophets are scarce. There are voices that declare without fear or favour the mind of God and provide direction for destiny fulfilment.
Can it be truly said that you are one of God’s prophets? Is anyone doubting your Christianity? It is time to prove them wrong.
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
Prove that you are among the prophets.
PRAYER.
Lord, help me prove to my generation that your hand is truly upon my life.
BIBLE READING FOR THE YEAR:
Psalm 46-48; Acts 19:21-41

ARE YOU LIVING TO PLEASE GOD ❓
DOUBLE DESTINY DAILY DEVOTIONAL
Monday 28th September, 2020
Text:
1 Thessalonians 4:1-12
Topic:
ARE YOU LIVING TO PLEASE GOD❓
Memory verse:
“We ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus, that as you received instruction from us about how you must live and please God…..that you do so more and more” (1Thess.4:1)
Message:
Many people live as though the world started with them and will eventually be concluded by their own terms. They think very little about God and His ways and more about self and things thereto.
Every time you look down on others or deny them of their rights and privileges, you are no better than Pharaoh and his taskmasters. The painful reality is that when you hold down a person, you are holding yourself. The fact that we profess Christianity makes it contradictory; for Christ liberates, self-enslaves. Slavery continues to take place in our homes today under the guise of house-helps, apprentices and the likes. In every generation, God is ever looking for a man who will stand in the gap so that others could be assisted. Whenever He finds any, God is pleased in no small measure. For such ones are helping to answer somebody’s prayer. The Bible says, a liberal soul shall be made fat and he that waters shall be watered also. We are the instruments God uses for His work if we make ourselves available. If a person is not forthcoming, God scouts for a replacement.
Samuel replaced Eli’s family.
Saul replaced Samuel’s family.
David replaced Saul’s family.
God concluded that those who honour Him, He will honour and those who despise Him, will be treated as nothing. For, “in His hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all mankind” (John 12:10). When a bird is alive it eats ants but when a bird dies ants eats it. Time and circumstances can change at any period. Try as much as you can never to devalue or hurt anyone in life.
You may be powerful today but remember, time is more powerful than you!
In 1985, Dasuki arrested Buhari when Babangida upturned the government through palace coup. By 2015, Buhari arrested Dasuki, when he came back to power as a civilian President. (just within 30years interval)
Be an imitator of God; don’t destroy. For God is a builder not a destroyer. Build someone today and you will be pleasing God.
CONTROLLING THOUGHTS:
When you help someone, you have become the extension of God’s hand to the person.
PRAYER:
God grant me the grace to assist somebody today in Jesus’ name. Amen.
