TOPIC: DESTINY DESTROYERS IV MEMORISE :  Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things. Philippians 3:19 READ: Proverbs 23:19-21: 19 Hear thou, my son, and be wise, and guide thine heart in the way. 20 Be not among winebibbers; among riotous eaters of flesh: 21 For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness shall clothe a man with rags. MESSAGE In conclusion of my teaching on the above topic, one major destiny destroyer that many people are not aware of is gluttony. Gluttony is the habit of eating and drinking excessively. Gluttons cannot control their appetites, and such people do not usually go far in life. They simply want to eat every time; food has become their preoccupation – their god. Controlling your appetite is very important, and this is why the Bible says: When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man give

TOPIC: COMMIT IT TO GOD

MEMORISE: 
Commit thy works unto the Lord, and thy thoughts shall be established.
Proverbs 16:3

READ: Proverbs 3:5-6

5 Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

6 In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

MESSAGE
There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that is committed to God that does not turn out well. This is why you must commit things into God's hands and let Him take the lead in everything that you do. Ask Him for counsel before you make any move, and everything will go well.

My Father in the Lord, Pa Josiah Akindayomi, exemplified committing things into God's hands. He placed the church in God's hands right from its outset. He did not just commit the church into God's hands in prayers, he also did so in actions. He did exactly everything that God asked Him to do as regards the church, and in turn, God fulfilled His promises concerning the church. Many people think that The Redeemed Christian Church of God is what it is today because of me; that is not true. God already decided the destiny of the church long before I became born again. If I had refused to obey Him, He would have gotten someone else to become the General Overseer. Whatever is
committed into God's hands can never go wrong.

If you really want to be successful, place all your plans in the hands of God. Proverbs 3:5 says:

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.

Don't depend on your degrees, skills, connections, or money; depend on God alone. Trust Him with all your heart, do everything according to His word, obey all His instructions, and you will see Him do great things for you. Make it clear to God that He is the owner of your career, business, ministry, and every other aspect of your life, and He will make sure that you have all-round success.

You must note, however, that when you commit something to God, you are agreeing to Him becoming your senior partner. This means that when He gives you instructions, you must obey. Some of these instructions may not make Sense to you, and some may be very difficult for you to do, but if you don't take the control back from Him, and if you submit to His leadership, you will enjoy greater success than you could ever have had all by yourself.

PRAYER POINT
Father, please take complete charge of all that concerns me from today, in Jesus'

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Hosea 10-14

AUTHOR: PASTOR E. A ADEBOYE
HYMN 30: WHEN WE WALK WITH THE LORD 

1. When we walk with the Lord 
in the light of his word, 
what a glory he sheds on our way! 
While we do his good will, 
he abides with us still, 
and with all who will trust and obey. 

o Refrain:
Trust and obey, for there's no other way 
to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey. 

2. Not a burden we bear, 
not a sorrow we share, 
but our toil he doth richly repay; 
not a grief or a loss, 
not a frown or a cross, 
but is blest if we trust and obey. 

3. But we never can prove 
the delights of his love 
until all on the altar we lay; 
for the favor he shows, 
for the joy he bestows, 
are for them who will trust and obey. 

4. Then in fellowship sweet 
we will sit at his feet, 
or we'll walk by his side in the way; 
what he says we will do, 
where he sends we will go; 
never fear, only trust and obey.
