Victory Daily Devotional

RELATIONSHIP Ecclesiastes 4:6-12 Devotional:- “Two can accomplish more than thrice as much as one, for the result can be much better” (V. 9) TLB           God has not created man to succeed alone. God’s word says two are better than one. If you alone can achieve a thing two can achieve five. It is a pity today that the enemy is highly destroying the opportunities for relationships in the lives of people. He knows it’s only in unity we can stand. So, he is doing so much to separate friends, relations and marriages. So many people today don’t even bother with how they relate with other people; they hate others and do not have a genuine reason for hating them.

YOUR THOUGHTS Proverbs 23:1-9 “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. "Eat and drink!" he says to you, But his heart is not with you” (V.7 ) NKJV      It is of great importance that we choose the spirit that rules over our hearts. That is, we determine what we allow there. It is in our hearts that all we do in life is imagined. The product of our heart is our thoughts and the product of our thoughts is our words and actions (Matthew 12:34-35). No one can be stronger than his thought. 

SELF-FORGIVENESS I John 1:5-10 Devotional:- “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (V. 9) NKJV      To many people, one of the hardest things in their life is to forgive themselves. Do you know that it could even be easier for them to forgive others? Many people have destroyed themselves because they can’t forgive themselves. This trick has been highly used by the devil to steal many things in the life of people.

LIVING ABOVE DISCOURAGEMENT Nehemiah 2:17-20 Devotional:- “So I answered them, and said to them, "The God of heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no heritage or right or memorial in Jerusalem"” (V. 20) NKJV      Discouragement is a disease that easily destroys people's strength on the way to their achievement. This often comes when we are not focused enough. The devil then uses people to discourage us. He could use negative or bad comments to discourage us. That is the reason we must learn to live above discouragement. The goal of discouragement is to stop us from running the race of our destiny on earth. Looking at what happened to Nehemiah in our scripture today, he was living above discouragement. God has given him the burden of a work, and he has received direction and understanding of how to go about it, but the enemy used Samballat and Tobiah to mock the work.

OVERCOMING THE FORCES 2 Samuel 23:8-10  Devotional:- “He arose and attacked the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand stuck to the sword. The LORD brought about a great victory that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder” (V. 10) NKJV      We are in a world of battle and you must be willing to face the fight if you are one of the winners. Jesus did not promise us a battle-free life and the way out will not be to back out. He that backs out of battle accepts defeat. God’s word says God will not allow temptation that is more than us to happen to us. That is why God never expects us to lose in life’s battle. He has kept in you what is more than what you are facing and potentials greater than your challenges (1 John 4:4).

LOVING YOUR WORK Ecclesiastes 9:7-9 Devotional:- “Go, eat your bread with joy, And drink your wine with a merry heart; For God has already accepted your works” (V. 7) NKJV      When a man puts diligence into his work, he will earn great wages. Our ability to work is what God has given to us to make our living and fortune. He that is lazy will not be rich (Proverbs 14:23). In this part of the world there is something good about us and that is we believe in working. That is biblical (2 Thessalonians 3:10). But I have found one great evil in the world today. That is, people working but hating their work. Most people do not know that whatever they hate cannot give them its best. This is because they will not put in their best. Very many people hate going to the office, they love pleasure than working. (Proverbs 21:17). I believe this is a misplacement of priority. Working is really pleasurable. This is because it is work that will bring your harvest while the so-called pl...
