Victory Daily Devotional

GOD IN YOU 1 Corinthians 3:11-23 Devotional:- “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (v. 16) NKJV      The word of God says we are the temple of God. A temple is a house where a deity stays and there is worship. God made man to work through us to fulfill His plan on the earth. As a Spirit being, it will be out of place for God to operate in this world without man so also the devil. At creation, God put Himself into the dust and that is what makes Adam a living being (Genesis 2:7). Man, ignorantly allowed the devil to use him and the devil took over the rulership of the world from Adam (Luke 4:6, 2 Corinthians 4:4). God promised that the seed of the woman will defeat the devil (Genesis 3:15).

POWER OR CHANGE Philippians 4:1-8 Devotional:- “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.” (V.8) NLT      Nothing can change in your life until the change commences from your heart. Changes from within will always give birth to outward change (Matthew 12:35). The key to change is always in the hand of men and the key is the choice of what we give our heart to thinking. If you choose to change your thinking pattern, about people, situations, and all about you, then your change has commenced.

CHOOSE YOUR SIDE      Titus 1:10-15 Devotional:- "To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled” (V.15) NKJV      The word of God told us the measure of great things God can do (Ephesians 3:20). He can do great and mighty things to anyone and everyone but there is a clause in this scripture. It talks about a power at work in us, which determines the extent to which God can work in individuals. Know that your needs are small to Him (2 Chronicles 14:11). You are the one that limits the extent of His manifestation in your life.

FIGHTING BY FAITH I Timothy 6:11-16 Devotional:- “Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses” (V.12) NKJV      So many people do not understand that we are here for the battle that is already won. As challenging as life could be, Christ has won the battle for us (John 16:33). Our enemy, the devil has been defeated on the cross of Calvary (Colossians 2:15). The victory of Jesus on the cross is our inheritance. We have been giving authority over all the powers of the enemy (Luke 10:19). Our authority only works when we fight by faith (1 John 5:4). You don’t need to run from your challenges. They are there to prove your ability in God for victory.

FATHER’S MINISTRY  John 15:13-17 Devotional:- “You didn't choose me. I chose you. I appointed you to go and produce lasting fruit, so that the Father will give you whatever you ask for, using my name” (V.16) NLT          We know so much about the ministry of the Son and the Holy Spirit today, but much has not been discovered about the ministry of God the Father. We need to know that God has not created anyone to suffer, struggle, or carry life challenges alone. God did not fashion life for struggle. Men only struggle because they are ignorant of the order of life.

PRAYER OF FAITH James 5:13-18 Devotional:- “And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven" (V.15) NKJV      One of the major ways a believer exercises spiritual warfare is through prayer. So it is of necessity that we learn how to pray the prayer that will not fail. The truth is that praying without faith is a fruitless religious exercise. God honors the prayers honor His children but wants us to pray with faith.

FATHER’S WILL              Ephesians 1:3-14 Devotional:- “having made known to us the mystery of His will, according to His good pleasure which He purposed in Himself” (V.9) NKJV      The challenge in the life of many generations is that life is always beginning from zero. The past generations never thought of living good inheritance for the present. Neither is the mind of many up till now, think of what they shall live for the coming generation (Proverbs 13:22). It is the reason why many are struggling today. They have no foundation upon which they can build their lives. So, they have to struggle to build one.

NEVER GIVE UP John 5:1-15 Devotional:- “The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me” (V.7) NKJV      It will be impossible for a man who has given up to operate by faith. To live by faith your heart must constantly be positive with God that you will make it (Mark 11:23). But when a man has given up he is simply negative. He cannot see a better tomorrow. He cannot see himself making it again in life. Right in his own heart, he has canceled his chances of success.

SUBMITTING TO GOD I Peter 5:5-7 Devotional:- “Therefore humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you In due time” (V.6) NKJV           A man who wants to live by faith must learn to submit to God. Faith is resting confidently on the promises of the word of God. For a man to rest on God’s word he must give up his struggle. Many people just believe that life is all about struggling but faith is not struggling; it is rather turning to God's direction at all cost.

ENDURANCE Genesis 25:27-34 Devotional:- "Look, I'm dying of starvation!" said Esau. "What good is my birthright to me now?” (V.32) NLT      Faith will not yet be possible without endurance. The faith of some people do not produce because they only want it too quickly, and are not willing to wait (Job 14:14). Exploit of faith will not be possible if you will not endure in your current situation. If Jesus had considered the pain of the cross, He would have jumped down and will not enjoy the glory (Hebrews 12:2-3). Our endurance is not to remain in pain forever but to believe that our faith in God will not disappoint us.

LOOK AND LIVE  Numbers 21:4-9 Devotional:- “Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live” (V.8) NKJV      The lives of most men are faced with so many compounded problems and sorrow. What some go through is not explainable. This is because they give themselves to all kinds of bondages of the devil unknowingly. Many have compounded the situation by entering into a terrible covenant with darkness or by their addiction to unrighteousness. I have good news for you – there is a way out.

NEGATIVE TO POSITIVE James 1:1-14 Devotional:- “My brethren count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptation” (V. 2) KJV      It is time for believers to know that we are called to turn negative to positive; to turn evil to good; to turn wilderness to city and to turn our pain to gain. In other words, what killed others we must turn to our miracle. The very worst families, finances, businesses, or various situations can be turned glorious in our lives.

ANOINTING OIL I Samuel 10:1-10 Devotional:- “Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said: "Is it not because the LORD has anointed you commander over His inheritance?” (V. 1) NKJV        Sometimes many people allow their faith to be seasonal. They join people to do what everyone is doing at a time. But do you know that the power of God is not seasonal? It depends on how you can turn your faith in Him. Some people are used to this in the past but have neglected it. This is a trick of the devil to make the church feel that the power of God is decreasing. Every factor that connects to the power of God is valid forever.

NAME OF JESUS Philippians 2:5-11 Devotional:- “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,” (V. 10) NKJV      Believers need to recognize what the name of Jesus means to them in authority and power. The understanding we have about the name determines what the name will give as an answer. That is why some are named just anything. But if you are a Bible reader you will understand that name is not only for attention or identity but also a prophecy and a status of authority.

MANTLE  2 Kings 2:9-15 Devotional:- “Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, "Where is the LORD God of Elijah?" And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over” (V.14) NKJV            It is necessary to note that the mysteries of God look so ordinary to people of no understanding. Some of the things that have kept us from the power of God are religion, tradition, and human philosophy. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved, it is the power of God (1 Corinthians 1:8). One of such neglected vessels of power is the mantle. These are materials that have contacted the anointing of God having contacted the anointed. The anointing flows when a Spirit-filled believer allows the Holy Spirit to flow through them.

MYSTERY OF PRAISES Psalm 9:1-5 Devotional:- “I will be glad and rejoice in you, I will sing praises your name Most High (V.2)      One of God's most profound and untapped mysteries is the power of praise. While the world has witnessed God’s might through prayer and His Word, the full extent of His power remains unrevealed. It is through our praises that we unlock this divine potential. As we lift our voices in praise, we will experience manifestations of God's power like never before

COMMUNION TABLE   John 6:53-59 Devotional:- “As the living Father has sent me and I live because of the Father, so he who feeds on me will live because of me” (V.57)      One of the mysteries of faith given to us for exploits is the communion table with the Lord. These include the blood and the body of Christ. This is also a vessel of faith. So, there is no specified material for it. The most important thing is that you declare it to be the body and the blood of Jesus by faith. Your rice and water can be so declared. The first church was taking it as their daily meal (Acts 2:42,46).

VIPER AT MELITA Acts 28:1-7 Devotional:- “However, they were expecting that he would swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had looked for a long time and saw no harm come to him, they changed their minds and said that he was a god” (V.6) NKJV      The world is not yet converted to the Lord because they have not encountered the power of God in their lives. Most Christians are unbelieving Christians and this is because they do not know the truth. Jesus said, except they see signs and wonders they will not believe (John 4:48). Till now, many Christians still enjoy playing safe in life. They are not ready to become a vessel of God’s wonder.

NO MORE CURSES Galatians 3:1 1-14 Devotional:- “Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (for it is written, "Cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree" (V.13) NKJV      The scripture says, “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17 NKJV). One major thing that, is in the life of every human through Adam is the curse. God cursed Adam in the Garden of Eden and since then the life of all humans has not been the same. Apart from the general curses God placed upon humanity as a whole the devil also took advantage of most families and established some curses on them. You may find some families who don’t ever succeed. Some families are all poor. Some are just nobody to be reckoned with. Some don’t have settled home. Some are bound to marry many wives or husbands for frustrations. Some are hopeless drunkards, some womanizers to the core, and m...

DAY OF SIGHT  Mark 10:46-52 Devotional:- “And when he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” (V.47) NKJV      Many of us do not know that we are a factor in determining our situations. If you say it is now, nothing can stop it. If you say it is later, it is according to what you say. Hannah said, “It is now” and it was so (1 Samuel 1). Jacob said, “It is now” and it was so (Genesis 32:24-30). I don’t know when your own will be.

CLOTH OF JESUS Mark 5:25-34 Devotional:- “For she said, "If only I may touch His clothes, I shall be made well” (V.28) NKJV      It is part of the tricks of the enemy to make us feel our cases are the impossible type. By so doing, he wants to make us accept failure and celebrate it. When a man gets to this level, there is nothing you can do to help him, until he changes his mind to make it. You will always be where your mind is (Proverbs 23:7).

SEA WALK Matthew 14:22-33 Devotional:- “So He said, "Come." And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus” (V.29) NKJV      Let us understand that with God all things are possible. If only your mind can accept and believe it, then it can be. When the disciples saw Jesus walking on water, they were afraid, they thought He was a ghost. But Jesus quickly told them “It is I, be not afraid’ (Matthew 14:27). And now when Peter knew it was Jesus, he demanded that Jesus instruct him to come. Jesus commanded him to come. And he stepped out towards Jesus walking on the sea. As they both were walking on the sea, Peter later began to look at the sea, he removed his eyes from Jesus and began to sink. Jesus had to rescue him.

JACOB’S BLESSING Genesis 49:1-12 Devotional:- “And Jacob called his sons and said, "Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days” (V.1) NKJV      So many people have had to repeat the same trouble their parents experienced. It has been so all over their generations. The Father was a poor man through his lifetime and the son has taken after him. Life after life kept on experiencing the same thing all through the decades.

GOD’S GLORY  Exodus 33:13-23 Devotional:- “And he said, "Please, show me Your glory”” (V.18) NKJV      We all need to understand that we have equal privileges in God through Christ Jesus. God is no respecter of persons. He is not a partial God but, in every nation, whoever fears Him, He honours them (Acts 10:34).

LION’S DEN WONDER Daniel 6:15-28 Devotional:- “My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths, so that they have not hurt me, because I was found innocent before Him; and also, O king, I have done no wrong before you" (V. 22) NKJV      Fear has dominated the lives of so many people to the point of almost destroying them. But you and I cannot afford to be destroyed. We shall make it. That is why you need to change your mind. Stop being afraid, and stand strong upon God’s word.

FIRE MIRACLE Daniel 3:15-30 Devotional:- “If that is the case, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and He will deliver us from your hand, O king” ( V. 17) NKJV      There are some cases that science owes no explanation for. That is why it would be very wrong for you to compare God’s power to science. What we call science is the human discovery of God’s hidden things. So, there is no way science can discover God more than His word. That is why God often starts where science stops.

WAR DANCE II Chronicles 20:13-25 Devotional:- “Now when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated” (V. 22) NKJV      The attitude we turn to our situation or challenges in life determines whether we truly believe in God or not. That is why you need to grow your faith in God to be able to face any situation in life and overcome it.

ESTHER’S FAITH  Esther 4:10-17 Devotional:- "Go, gather all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go to the king, which is against the law; and if I perish, I perish!” (V. 16) NKJV      Until man is ready, God may not also be ready. This is because God is ever ready. If you say you are ready today God is also ready. If you say  it is tomorrow, it is okay with God.

DANIEL’S INTERPRETATION Daniel 2:10-14 Devotional:- “So Daniel went in and asked the king to give him time, that he might tell the interpretation” (V. 16)        What is impossible for men is possible with God. Never you think there is something God cannot do. No matter what your case maybe it is not beyond the power of God. With Him, nothing shall be impossible (Luke 1:37).

RUTH’S FAITH Ruth 1:11-22 Devotional:- “But Ruth said: "Entreat me not to leave you, Or to turn back from following after you; For wherever you go, I will go; And wherever you lodge, I will lodge; Your people shall be my people, And your God, my God” (V. 16) NKJV      God is often provoked when men can demonstrate great faith. He will always reveal His greatness in their lives. If you will always consider what people will say you may not see the hand of God for greatness. People who want to be safe will always lose their portion.
