Victory Daily Devotional

MEEKNESS Numbers 12:1-9 Devotional:- “Now the man Moses was very meek, above all the men which were upon the face of the earth” (V3) KJV      The most vital aspect of faith is for man to yield to God’s instructions. God wants us to obey Him by faith. This is a level of honour to God. If Moses did not obey God, he would not have seen all the miracles he saw in Egypt and the wilderness. If the priests had not obeyed to step into Jordan by faith, the water would not have parted for them (Joshua 3:13).

YOUR COMPANY 2 Kings 6:8-23 Devotional:- “So he answered, "Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them” (V. 16) NKJV      If you do not have the right company around you, the devil will help you compose one. All of us have to be spiritually conscious that some spiritual forces are always around us (Exodus 33:14, Psalms 91:11). We know this by our feelings because we are also spiritual beings. It is only the body we live in that has limited us to be able to have a physical view of them. But then, you need to know that you are the one who determines the forces that stand around you.

EXERCISING IN THE SPIRIT Jude 1:17-22 Devotional:- “But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit” (V. 20) NKJV      For a man to be built up in faith, he must be filled with the Holy Spirit and regularly exercise in it. That is because it is the exercises that inspire, anoint, and build faith in you for the achievement of God’s will for your life (Jude 20, Act 4:31). It will be dangerous for any man to remain dry in the Spirit, it could lead to a total defeat in life. That is why God’s word asks us to build up ourselves in the spirit.

HOLY SPIRIT  John 16:5-15 Devotional:-“However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come” (V.13) NKJV      It should be settled in your heart that you are a spirit being. You are not just an ordinary flesh like a mere animal. You are more than a mere biological being. Please know that one spirit or the other influences each man. Two major spirits control life; the spirit of God and the spirit of the enemy. No one is free from either of these spirits. No neutral ground and no vacuum. All of us have either of them.

OBEDIENCE Luke 5:1-10 Devotional:- “But Simon answered and said to Him, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net." (V.5) NKJV      If we are going to see the great power of God at work in our lives? If we are going to become a point of reference to the mighty works of God? If we will become God’s vessel to turn the world around for God? then we must embrace obedience to God’s instruction. Often time when God speaks to us, our mind queries His instruction. Divine instructions may not look reasonable but they are powerful.

WHAT IS THE TRUTH?  John 8:31-36 Devotional:- “And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free” (V.32)      All that man needs to be free from all bondages of life is the encounter with the truth. The truth is a mystery; a secret of the power of God. All this is hidden in the word of God (Proverbs 25:2). Knowing the truth is like knowing the working power of God. The truth is this; no one handles power and will not attempt to use it. When something is yet to work for you in God, don’t ever think God is a failure. It is only that you do not have the truth about the matter yet (Hosea 4:6).

STATE OF HEART Mark 11:20-26 Devotional:- “So Jesus answered and said to them, “have faith in God” (V. 22)        Even though God is so powerful and mighty many of us have limited the manifestation of His power in our life. This is due to the state of our mind. The state of the heart of a man is what determines the state of his faith.

GOD’S PRESENCE Psalms 16:1-11 Devotional:- “I have set the LORD always before me; Because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved” (V. 8) NKJV      One of the weapons of faith all God’s children must carry in their minds is the presence of God. God promised that He will be with us in whatever situation we may be (Isaiah 43: 1-5, Matthew 28:19). But this will have no effect if left in our bible and not established in our spirit. You need to let it be settled in your heart that God is with you, and this will produce great power in your heart.

REGULAR MEAL Luke 4:1-4 Devotional:-“But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live  by bread alone, but by every word of God.'" (V. 4) NKJV      Physically, what a man regularly feeds on will always determine his fitness. So it is in all areas of our life. Most of us have not come to the awareness of the fact that, what we feed our spirit with will always determine our strengths or weaknesses. That is why God’s word warned us to be careful of what we listen to (Mark 4:24).

GOD’S REVELATION   I Samuel 17:23-32 Devotional:- For who is this uncircumcised Philistines, that he should defy the armies of the living God (V. 26)      Every man in the face of battle needs what will arouse his mind to strength. The weapon of God that produces our faith is the revelation of the word of God. When God’s word is revealed to our hearts, it creates tremendous power. It breeds faith in us and makes us operate in the supernatural strength of God for our victory (John 10:34-35).

KNOWLEDGE OF GOD Daniel 11:31-35 Devotional:-  “Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits” (V.32) NKJV        In this world of temptation and tribulation, those who know Him still wonderfully demonstrate God’s power. The time we are in is strange. Many people, families, businesses, or ministries are been defeated; yet at this same time, some people are doing great things. The difference is their knowledge of God.

WORD POWER Luke 1:26-38 Devotional:- "For with God nothing is ever impossible and no word from God shall be without power or impossible of fulfillment (V.37) AMPL      Most people do not know how powerful the word of God is. People tend to see the bible as a book of stories of events. They had never experienced the power of God through His word. They lack the understanding that the Word has been God’s instrument for creation. They do not know that Jesus Christ is the word Himself (John 1:14).

LABOUR OF FAITH Hebrews 4:1-12 Devotional:-“Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief” (V.11)      Most believers have not come to an understanding of the need to labor in the word of God. Everyone wants the strength and exploit of the word of God but not ready to labor for it. Laboring in the word of God is simply studying meditatively to know the truth of the word of God.

GETTING FAITH Romans 10:13-17 Devotional:- “So faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God” (V. 17)      It is of great importance that we know that faith is not just confessions. It is not just believing but a fire in your spirit taking from the word of God when you meditate in it.

TESTIMONY I Samuel 17:30-37 Devotional:- “Your servant has killed both lion and bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has defied the armies of the living God” (V. 36) NKJV      One of the major triggers of faith in our hearts is testimony. Testimony is the sharing of the manifestation of the power of God. The Bible itself is the book of testimonies of the wonderful deeds of God. Anywhere the testimonies of God’s deeds are shared, faith is activated. This is because God is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He can do again what He has done yesterday. What He has done for Mister ‘A’ He can as well do for Mister ‘B’

HOPE Romans 4:13-22 Devotional:- “who, contrary to hope, in hope believed, so that he became the father of many nations, according to what was spoken, "So shall your descendants be" (V. 18) NKJV      Today so many people have come to believe that having hope is wrong. They think life is better based on fate and not faith. Fate is whatever life can bring but faith is the assurance of what God can do. If you cannot be hopeful then you cannot wait to see the great work of God in your life.

JOINT HEIR Romans 8:14-17 Devotional:- “and if children, then heirs-heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.” (V. 17) NKJV      You must identify who you are in Christ Jesus. Living as what God says you are and not as what people or situations say you are. This Is how you can by faith enforce the will of God over your life and destiny.

RIGHTEOUSNESS Romans 3:21-26 Devotional:- “even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all who believe. For there is no difference;” (V. 22) NKJV      As an army of faith, we must have of good understanding of our righteousness in God. One of the ways the devil easily weakens people’s faith is by condemning them or reminding them of their past sins. So many believers also still operate in the mentality of religion and not faith. Since people think they are humble enough to always think of their sins whenever there is a challenge, the enemy makes them see themselves as not qualified for any benefit of God. All these are products of ignorance.

SONSHIP Galatians 3:26 - 29 Devotional:- “For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus” (V.26) NKJV      It is of great importance to constantly keep in your mind the awareness of your sonship in God. This reminds you of your status in Christ and gives you a steady growth in faith. If you forget the son of who you are, you are bound to face what you are not supposed to.

BLOOD OF THE LAMB Revelation 12:9-12 Devotional:- “And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death. (V.11) NKJV      Children of God need to come to the understanding of the fact that playing safe is playing shame. It is time to get out of your shell and face the challenges of life for victory.

ACTION James 2:14-24 Devotional:- “Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead (V.17)      Faith and action are inseparable. Wherever there is faith there will also be action. It is an inspiration through the word of God. You can’t be inspired by the word of God and not act (1 Samuel 30:8-19). The truth is that faith has its evidence in action just as wisdom is evident in physical manifestation. When a man is not taking action, it is because he has no faith. At the point of faith, everyone will be ready for action. It is a manifestation of the action that delivers every product of faith.

CONFESSION Hebrews 10:19-24 Devotional:- “Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promises is faithful (V.23).      The reason our word is so important to our life is because it is the product of our heart. Our heart is the source of all that will befall us in life (Matthew 12:34). So, since the Holy Spirit birthed faith into our heart whatever comes out of our mouth determines our life (Proverbs 18:21). So, what you say to yourself will surely hold. What people say does not have as much effect as what you say by yourself. Faith is the confession of that which is the good and perfect will of God concerning our lives and situations.

ASSURANCE  John 2:1-10 Devotional:- “And when they ran out of wine, the mother of Jesus said to Him, “They have no wine”. (V. 3)      Faith is assurance. To be assured is to have a strong supportive notion that confirms that the expected is certain. When people lack assurance, they cannot but doubt. The characteristic of assurance is peace. When a man is assured, he is at rest. Men who have insurance are always confident how much more people with an assurance.

PERSISTENT  Hebrews 6:9-18 Devotional:- “That you do not become sluggish, but imitate those who through faith and patience inherit the promise” (V.12)      Faith is persistence; if someone embarks on a race and soon gives up, that is the extent his faith can carry him. In God, you cannot do without faith. Your destiny must not be thrown into a trash can. That is why you cannot afford to just give up this race of life. You must win. Sometimes God is not moved by how long but how firm you have decided to stand to the end.

WAITING ON THE LORD Luke 2:21-33 Devotional:- “And behold, there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the Consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him” (V. 25) NKJV      One of the acts of faith that moves God is our ability to wait on Him. The faith is, since God made the promise; I must wait to see the fulfillment. I discover that there is a power that can stop death and that is faith (Hebrews 11:33-35). Man has not fully understood that he determines his lot on earth. Whether to die or to live is your choice no matter the situation (Deuteronomy 30:19). So, you can wait for as long as you desire to see God’s glory.

STANDING ON Acts 27:13-25 Devotional:- “For there stood by me this night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve,” (V.23) NKJV      Faith is standing upon the word of God. This is basing your calmness and confidence on what God said. You will know a man of faith by his measure of calmness and peace irrespective of the challenging situations he faces. He will not be moved by anything that is happening. Why? He has heard God and that He is enough for him. He is not fearful but calm. In other words, within him, he has overcome the war.

LIVING POSITIVE  Genesis 45:1-13 Devotional:- “But now, do not, therefore, be grieved or angry with yourselves because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life.” (V.5) NKJV         Many of us have not come to the truth that God meant business when He created man. So many still look at life as a joke but few have begun to take their place in destiny. I see you joining the great people in Jesus' name.

EXPECTATION Acts 3:1-10 Devotional:- “So he gave them his attention expecting to receive something from them” (V.5).      God the creator of heaven and earth has great expectations concerning all his creation (Jeremiah 29:11). But what determines an individual’s portion on earth is your expectations. Most people expect failure and disappointment; they cannot see themselves as competent enough for greatness in life. They see themselves as unqualified for the realm of glory, but they never know that they are victims of their expectations.

SURE FOUNDATION II Peter 1:16-21 Devotional:- “We have also a more sure word of prophecy: whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place...” (V. 19) KJV      Faith will not yet be faith until it finds a strong substance of assurance in the heart of a man. Faith is truly an action but depending on the  certainty. In other words, the more certain a promise is to you, the stronger your faith will be. No one will have a certain or sure word that will not believe, I love to let you know that God’s word is the surest foundation on which you can bet your life.

SUBSTANCE OF REALIT Hebrews 11:1-3 Devotional:- “Now faith is the  substance of  things   h oped for, the evidence of things not seen” ( V . 1 )   The  body of Christ will need to be careful to understand the core message of the bible whic h   is faith. When it is not in place,   nothing good can be accomplished, even God cannot be pleased. Therefore ,  it becomes very important and also a foundation for our salvation (Ephesians 2:8) .   Today ,  many people  try  to operate human confidence to experience the manifestation of God but to no avail. A confidence without a sure substance will crumble to failure. True confidence can only come through the revelation of the word of God.   No one can  a ssume a state of rest without  substantial assurance .   You can’t see and not believe. This  i s a product of the Holy Spirit showing you the reality of the word when you meditate in it (Ephesians 1:17-18). It...

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE Mark 9:14-27 Devotional:- “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes” (V.23)           We need to come to the awareness of the potency of the God we serve. He can do all things. He created the heavens and the earth. He created the mountains and the sea; He parted the Red Sea; He brought water from the rock and what else can He not do? If you see any great and good thing happening in the life of anyone today, it is through Him and there is nothing He cannot do (Luke 1:37, John 3:27).
