Victory Daily Devotional

  WILLING SACRIFICES 1 Chronicles 29:1-9 Devotional:‐ “Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had offered willingly to the LORD; and King David also rejoiced greatly” (v.9) NKJV Generations of men have always misunderstood giving. To them it looks like they are reducing when God is asking them to give. Also, most people have not come to the understanding that we are creatures made to find fulfilment only when we give. You need to observe that orange is a waste when no one suck it. Also, life will be a waste when it benefits no one. If you really want joy, one of the strongest sources is a sense of fulfilment (sense of success). And this can only come when you have joyfully given unto the Lord or others (2 Timothy 4:6). That is, when you have willingly flowed out to others. The people we read about today were challenged to give willingly to the work of the Lord. And this brought them great joy. See, the greatest moment of your life ...

  LOST AND FOUND Luke 15:1-10 Devotional:- “Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents" (v.10) NKJV So many people today have allowed their situation and circumstances to affect their lives before the Lord. Some have totally lost their faith in God. They can no longer hope in the Lord their God. You could even observe many who are your contemporaries, and you can no longer see them in the Lord. They can no longer hope and wait on God, and you cannot really find them around again. They are simply nowhere to be found. There are several reasons why this happens to people. It’s either that they become offended in the church or with the pastor and feel it is enough of Christ. Some actually, for one reason or another, want to change their church for a better one but find themselves in spiritual confusion. They will in the end become backsliders. Many do not know that it is a high level of maturity to be part of the builders of w...

  PROGRESS Luke 10:17-24 Devotional:- “In that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Spirit and said, "I thank You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and prudent and revealed them to babes. Even so, Father, for so it seemed good in Your sight” (v.21) NKJV A very strong factor of joy is good result. This is attaining a goal you have set ahead of yourself. Anyone who sets and achieves a goal naturally experiences a kind of joy, and this is why you must be an achiever too. The Bible talks about fullness of joy in God’s presence (Psalm 16:11). One of the factors responsible for good result is the fulfilment of God’s word. The word of God says there is a great joy in heaven over a sinner that repents (Luke 15:7). And since you are a child of God, your life must also experience the joy of achievement. When the disciples of Jesus returned to Him, it was with joy because they had achieved their goal as instructed by the Lord; the bible says Jesus also ...

  LIBERTY Acts 16:16-30 Devotional:- “But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them” (v.25) NKJV One of the greatest results of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in a believer is that he is set free from the cages of life. When a man is in bondage of life, he cannot have full strength in him. But even when a man who has gained his liberty by the Spirit of God is bound in prison, the joy in him cannot be hindered (Acts 16:23-25). In the scripture we read today are the events of Paul and Silas, the apostles of Jesus, who were imprisoned for preaching the good news. But though they are in prison, the Holy Spirit has set their heart free, so physical prison cannot stop the joy of God in their life. And since their heart is set free by the Holy Spirit, the natural bondage cannot hold them (2 Corinthians 3:17). You as a believer, must be careful not to allow anything to bind you when Christ has set you free (Galatians 5:1)....

    JOY IN THE CITY Acts 8:1-8 Devotional:- “And there was great joy in that city” (v.8) NKJV Another powerful producer of joy is Christ in your life (Colossians 1:27). Christ can change our sorrow into joy. He came to set us free from the power that caged us in sorrow. He came to give us the key to joy. Many have not come to know that having Christ in their life is not just about going to church. The truth you need to hear is that when you give room to Christ in your life, you have given room to joy (Luke 2:10). The scripture we read today is the report of what happened to the city of Samaria. They accommodated Jesus Christ in their life, and God’s word reported that there was great joy in that city. The confusion is that there are many in church today without Christ; they have confessed Jesus Christ as their Saviour, but they don’t have room for him in their heart. They are workers and leaders, but have no room for Christ. When Christ has room in your life, He will change yo...

  GOOD RELATIONSHIP Genesis 24:60-67 Devotional:- “Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death” (v.67) NKJV Relationship, as it were, can be both good and bad. It can be a factor for either sorrow or joy. When you find a good relationship, you will enjoy the beauty of it’s joy. A good relationship will bring increase and growth and will always come with joy. When a man finds a good relationship, he will enjoy it’s blessings. Everyone loves to have a good relationship that is full of joy, but people do not know that it is their responsibility to make their relationship good. In our scripture today, we read about Isaac, who met his wife and accommodated her with a mature heart, and this brought great comfort to his life. It doesn’t mean that the woman was perfect, but he has a mature attitude of love. This made them enjoy a lovely and joyful marriage (Genesis 26...

  SPEAKING JOY Genesis 21:1-7 Devotional:- “And Sarah said, "God has made me laugh, and all who hear will laugh with me."" (v.6) NKJV It is important that you know that your life is determined by your choice. It is what you say your life will be that it shall be. Men are simply victims of their own beliefs and words (Proverbs 6:2). That is why you and I need to be careful of what we declare about our lives, family and pursuit (Isaiah 43:26). The woman we read about today was a woman of faith. When she gave birth to her child, she called him laughter. She, by her mouth, rejoices at the gift of God to her life. No matter the colour or look of the child, her own name for the baby is laughter. God’s word talks about Moses' mother, she saw her child as good and could not surrender him for killing (Exodus 2:2). Watch out, it is what you call your life that it shall be. Many gifts God gave to people are turned into sorrow by the name they call it. God has blessed some with ...

  COMING WITH SINGING Isaiah 51:7-12 Devotional:- “So the ransomed of the LORD shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness; Sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (V. 11) NKJV Although the world is currently experiencing an increase in sorrow and sorrowful news, God has no such plan for His children. Zion is the place where God has ordained joy. That is why all God’s children must locate their Zion. This is where we gather to worship the name of the Lord, which we refer to as a place of worship today (the church). In our scripture today, God’s word reminds us of how we are to come to Zion to find the restoration of our joy and sustain it. This is by worshipping the Lord; this is by talking about His deeds in life. Wherever God is praised, He will always manifest His power. Then the redeemed of the Lord shall always return with singing to Zion. In other words, you and your family can start to praise God in that ho...

  GOOD REPORT   Proverbs 15:28-33 Devotional:- “The light of the eyes rejoices the heart, And a good report makes the bones healthy” (v.30) NKJV Today, in the whole world, the only kind of news celebrated by men is bad news. The reporters have also realised that people want bad news. So, they hardly report good things. If you listen to the news, read from the media or browse through the net, it is all about evil things happening all over the world. This is the trick of the enemy to cage the sons of men into sorrow and break the flow of joy in the lives of the people. The scripture we read today says, “good report makes the heart glad”. You must recognise the principle of a joyful life. It is a product of regular joyful reports (Proverbs 25:25). It is what you love to hear that your life will look like (Mark 4:24). you must know you are a product of what you are hearing. Friend, this demands that you should be careful of what you hear if you want to live in joy. A sorrowful rep...

  GOD’S BLESSINGS Proverbs 10:14-24 Devotional:- “The blessing of the Lord makes one rich, And He adds no sorrow with it” (v.22) NKJV God, in his goodness, have been so gracious to the sons of men in this season, and many of God’s children are beginning to enjoy the blessing of the Lord. This is God’s faithfulness. If you have not entered into your portion now, it shall come. It is important that we understand that these blessings can only be preserved when we disallow the seed of sorrow to come into them. The scripture we read today says, “it's only God’s blessing that is void of sorrow”. This means when we allow God to be our source, our joy is guaranteed. It means dubiously seeking a blessing will produce sorrow. We should be careful not to crave for money and employ wicked means to attain it. Such is a seed of sorrow (Proverbs 15:27). Please refuse to join those who are cheating, stealing, killing and doing all sorts of things today to get money. Such is not a blessing but a cu...

  JOY OF HARVEST  Isaiah 9:1-7 Devotional:- “You have multiplied the nation And increased its joy; They rejoice before You According to the joy of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil” (v.3) NKJV Seasons of harvest are one of God’s means of bringing joy into the lives of His people. So among the types of joy, there is the joy of harvest. That joy is coming to be in your life, business and ministry this year. The season of sowing is not always an easy time for many who have not understood the mystery of sowing. So, such a season will always look painful for them. Sowing does not only apply to farmers or givers, but also to all who are pursuing their goals and projects. God’s word also confirms the pain of sowing time and also establishes the joy of harvest (Psalm 126:5-6). That simply establishes God’s promises for you in the remaining days of the year. It doesn’t matter how long you have been sowing without reaping; now your harvest shall come. Some have been sow...

  JOY DEFINED II Corinthians 3:7-18 “Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty” (v.17) NKJV The reason many don’t always experience or retain joy is that they don’t really understand what joy is. We sometimes relate it to laughter, but this is not so. Laughter is only one of the components of joy, and there are others, such as freedom or a free system. To define joy, you will need to first understand that it is the product of the presence of God (Psalm 16:11). That is why it is not equal to happiness that is caused by a happening or an event, but joy is a result of an indwelling Spirit of God. Happiness is temporal, while joy is an abiding Spirit. Our scripture today taught us the meaning of joy. It is simply a released heart, and this is brought by the Spirit of God. It is a heart free from all manner of bondages. Loose yourself from all manner of bondage of condemnation. It is a way of opening up our hearts for the peace and rest in God to ...

  ATMOSPHERE OF JOY John 15:5-17 Devotional:- “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full” (v.11) NKJV For anyone to swim in any atmosphere, he must first create it around himself. The truth is that it is the atmosphere you create around yourself that truly exists with you. For anyone to have the atmosphere of joy, one of the things that the atmosphere must be composed of is love. Some partners work together with joy, and one of the strongest of them is love. Jesus said we should love one another that our joy may be full (John 15:10-17). So, it means what gives maximum joy is love; this is because God himself is love (1 John 4:7-8). God’s word says that in the presence of God, there is fullness of joy (Psalm 16:11). It therefore becomes impossible to want to have joy in the midst of hatred. So many people who have faced a crisis at home will always want to go out to a joint, wanting to feel happy and secure joy. Such joy does not...

  VOICES OF MERRY Jeremiah 30:16-22 Devotional:- “Then out of them shall proceed thanksgiving And the voice of those who make merry; I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small” (v.19) NKJV It is amazing to see how the world is multiplying in sorrow. The proceeds of the heart of men today are sorrow. Daily, we hear news of sorrow. Evil things are daily befalling the sons of men. There is hardly a day without the news of sorrow. Strong nations are becoming victims of sorrow. The enemy seems to be growing stronger to afflict the world. It is important that you realise that this world is simply experiencing the event of the end time. What you need to know is the plan of God for you and your family in the midst of the many sorrows. And that is what God is speaking about in the scripture that we read today. Instead of sorrowful news the world is experiencing, He said Out of you shall proceed thanksgiving and the voice of them ...

  SORROW TURNED JOY  John 16:19-24 Devotional:- “Most assuredly, I say to you that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; and you will be sorrowful, but your sorrow will be turned into joy” (v.20) NKJV God’s word says, Sorrow may endure till a night, but joy will always come in the morning (Psalm 30:5). This is an assurance and evidence that what is called sorrow is not a permanent situation in the life of a child of God. This is because it is certain that when night comes, morning is always the next as God has covenanted it (Genesis 8:22). The night is evidence of the coming morning. This is evidence that what you are going through right now will soon result in joy. In fact, the tougher it is, the closer to your joy. You will see your joy. The scripture we read today gave us a new dimension of hope for our lives. Jesus said our sorrow shall turn to joy. That which we think is a thing of sorrow shall surely become a thing of joy. Jesus liken it to a woman in a l...

PROMISES OF JOY Isaiah 55:6-13 Devotional:- “So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it” (v.11) NKJV One thing that is common with lovers is promises. It is part of what a true lover will want to hear. To a true lover, a promise is like a cheque left that can be turned into cash. So when people who loves us give us promises, we cherish them. And when we remember them, it gladdens our hearts. We often feel happy enough to share it with other friends. One terrible thing that is common with men is failed promises. These, in some cases, are due to the inadequacy of human strength or unforeseen circumstances that can overtake the promises and make man look like a deceiver. But God is not like man. He will fulfil all that He has promised you. No matter what the case may be, His word will come to pass. Who will say that Sarah will bear a son to Abraham at 90 or ...

EVERLASTING JOY  Isaiah 35:1-10 Devotional:- “And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (v.10) NKJV      If you will receive this word by faith, it shall be yours forever. “From now on, you shall experience everlasting joy” Everlasting joy is the joy that will last till eternity, this is the joy of salvation (Psalm 51:12). The fact is that we live in a world with seasons, and these seasons come and go. They have made life unstable for many who live by the seasons. But the will and the promise of God concerning your life is that you will keep having unending joy. Now your sorrow shall flee away, then you will start to obtain joy.

ANOINTING OF JOY Isaiah 61:1-6 “To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified” (V. 3) NKJV      You must realise that you are not created for sorrow. The atmosphere in heaven is always one of joy; heaven is not a place for sorrow. From the beginning, we were creatures of joy. He that created us cannot make us for sorrow. It is a pity that a greater percentage of the time of man is full of sorrow (it was not so from the beginning). This is definitely a result of the enemy stealing the joy of man and giving him the yoke of sorrow.

  NATIONAL JOY  Psalms 126:1-6 Devotional:- “When the LORD brought back the captivity of Zion, We were like those who dream" (V. 1) NKJV When a nation turns to God, there comes a time when they experience national deliverance, restoration and joy. The nation can move into its national joy. Our deliverance and restoration shall be like a dream. Those who don’t wish the nation well because of their selfish profits shall be put to shame. This nation shall be delivered from darkness, lack and stagnancy. God’s spirit shall take over the heart of our leader, and they shall no longer hate our progress. The curses that make this nation suffer in plenty shall be broken, and a sudden wind of change shall blow over the nation. As children of God, take time to pray and claim God’s promises for this nation today with your family (Psalm 122:6). The people who used to be in darkness shall see a great light (Isaiah 9:2), and all who love this nation shall prosper. Peace! Prayer: Lord, we spea...

COMING GLORY Romans 8:18-25 Devotional:- “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” (V. 18) NKJV      Why God is taking His children through different seasons, as a potter takes the clay through different experiences, is to make us come out to be the best we can be. While God is working out His mathematics in our lives, the enemy always wants to take advantage.

STAND STILL Exodus 14:5-16 Devotional:- “And Moses said to the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall see again no more forever.” (v.13) NKJV      Today very many children of God are so afraid, and they don’t know what to expect next. But you should not be part of them. The Children of Israel were faced with the worst of their challenges. They were face to face with death. The enemy came and push them to a corner, so they were so afraid and began to cry.

ALL WORKING Romans 8:18-30 Devotional:- “And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose” (V. 28) NKJV      When God’s Word teaches us that all things work together for our good, this is not only to encourage us, but it is more of information we have to understudy and accept. I want to say that if we don’t understand the concept of all things working together for our good, it may not be fulfilled at last in our lives. This is because it places a responsibility on you if it shall be so.

MORE THAN A MAN Joshua 1:1-8 Devotional:- “No man shall be able to stand before you all the days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you. I will not leave you nor forsake you” (V. 5) NKJV      The message of this generation is what we call the message of sincerity. No one wants to stand in faith anymore. “Let us not deceive ourselves” is the slogan now. But we must stand for the truth of the word of God. It does not have to look relevant to all men, but it is still the truth. And as we stand for the truth, God will be faithful to perform His word in our lives. 

ARE YOU READY? Deuteronomy 20:5 Devotional:- "Then the officers shall speak to the people, saying: 'What man is there who has built a new house and has not dedicated it? Let him go and return to his house, lest he die in the battle and another man dedicate it” (V. 5) NKJV      Most Christians often want to overcelebrate their current victory. That sometimes does not make us realise that there are yet more lands to cover, more greatness to achieve and more progress to make. This also happened to the children of Israel in the time of Joshua, that they could not conquer all the lands.

CALLING HIS NAME Philippians 2:5-10  Devotioonal:- “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name” (v.9) NKJV      One of the believers’ weapons of warfare is the name of Jesus. The Bible calls it a strong tower. Anytime the righteous runs into it, he will find refuge and be saved (Proverbs 18:10). This name is not just ordinary or common, as some people think, but it is a name that has been given to silence all other authorities and powers. David recognised this and declared it to the face of Goliath that he had come in the name of the Lord (1 Samuel 17:45). That is, the name of the Lord of hosts of heaven. Calling that name brings the heavenly host against your enemy.

POSITIVE SPIRIT                                    Philippians4:10-17  DEVOTIONAL:-“I have strength for all things through Christ who empowers me (I am ready for anything and equal anything, through Him who infuses inner strength into me, I am self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency” (V.13) AMPL   You need to keep a good spirit to earn the glory of God, and a good spirit is a positive spirit. Humans, being what we are, are always affected by our situation, and this tends to dictate our spiritual mood. This often happens because of our limited understanding of the ways of God.

NOAH   Genesis 6:5-11 Devotional:- “This is the genealogy of  Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations. Noah walked with God” (v.9) NKJV        God can only be glorified in the world when His children grow and become stronger to overcome the challenges of the world. God receives no credit for our failures. He receives no glory in the defeat of anyone. It is not to His joy that you are not promoted and increased. It is just important that you and I make it a point of duty to grow stronger than the confronting challenges and overcome them.

THINGS OF THE MIND Joshua 14:6-15 Devotional:- “As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in.” (V. 11) NKJV      Believers need to come to the understanding that strength is a mental issue. No one can be stronger than the strength of their mind. No one can perform better than the state of their mind. The life of everyone will sooner or later turn to the pattern of his thoughts (Proverbs 23:7). If your health shall be restored and retained, your mind must agree and be willing to think as God said it. The right mindset is actually the one that thinks and decides the way God said it.

OTHER PEOPLE’S CASE                                              Genesis18:16-33  Devotional:- “Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it?” (V. 24) NKJV        Do you know it is of a great advantage when you once in a while leave your own matter and take up other people’s case with God. This is what is called intercession, when you take up the act of interceding you enjoy grace to walk out of your challenges without stress. This is because the act of intersection is a symbol of great and sincere love. When you live with the attitude of love you enjoy God more.

NO WEAPON Isaiah 54:11-17 Devotional:- “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, And their righteousness is from Me," Says the LORD” (v. 17) NKJV      It is important that you refresh your mind with what is constitutionally written in the Word of God for your victory. These truths are the instrument of your liberty and victory (John 8:32). One of these truths is what we read today. You must have a deep understanding of this for your exploit.

I SHALL NOT DIE Psalm 118:10-20 Devotional:- “I shall not die, but live, And declare the works of the LORD” (v.17) NKJV      There are so many threats to death in this generation than ever before. There are two ways this takes place. The ones created by people themselves and the ones unleashed on men by the devil. It is therefore the spiritual that establishes the will of God.

PEACE IN YOUR LAND Leviticus 26:1-8 Devotional:-“I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none will make you afraid; I will rid the land of evil beasts, and the sword will not go through your land. (V. 6) NKJV      Every covenant promise of God is powerful enough to find expression in the life of those who believe. Today, we live in a world where peace is no longer a common thing in many parts of the world. Where there is a different style of robbery and affliction upon the children of men. It is becoming vivid that money may not be security in the days of trouble. Yet God had promised His own children peace (Numbers 29:11-13).

SEVEN WAYS Deuteronomy 28:1-13 Devotional:- “The LORD will cause your enemies who rise against you to be defeated before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways” (V. 7) NKJV      Please understand that the almighty God is with you. He is called the terrible God, the awesome God (Jeremiah 20:11). No power or kingdom can stand before Him. He descended on Mount Sinai, and the Israelites were terribly afraid. No power of the enemy can withstand Him.

NO LOSS Acts 27:13-22 Devotional:- “And now I urge you to take heart, for there will be no loss of life among you, but only of the ship.” (v. 22) NKJV      This is a generation where great and valuable things or success are getting lost from people. This is because every wealth gained by dishonesty must dininish (Proverb 13:11). There is nothing that people are not losing now, and there is a tendency for some believers to also be afraid of losses. It is therefore important we bring ourselves back to the light of the truth of God’s word.

THEY SHALL BE SCATTERED Isaiah 54:10-15 Devotional:- “Indeed they shall surely assemble, but not because of Me. Whoever assembles against you shall fall for your sake” (V. 15) NKJV      It is unconstitutional in God for anyone to successfully gather against you. No matter the composition of the group, no matter how great in status they may be or no matter how connected they may be, the moment you are the matter arısing in their meeting, they must be scattered. This is because your covenant right detests such.

CHILD OF LIGHT Matthew 5:13-16 Devotional:- “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden” (v.14) NKJV      By your destiny in the covenant, you are a child of light. The world is increasing in darkness, and people and the government are getting more confused day by day. People have lost hope in government, and it is time you realise that you are the light to shine and bring light of hope on the Earth. We are the ones to help our nation. We are people’s hope (Isaiah 60:2-3).
