Victory Daily Devotional

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).

UPROOTING Devotional:- Jeremiah 1:1-12 “See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, To root out and to pull down, To destroy and to throw down, To build and to plant”(V. 10) NKJV      One of the ministries you are into as a child of God is the ministry of planting and uprooting. God, your father, is a planter from the beginning, and you can not be less (Genesis 2:8). You are also called to uproot whatever is not of the will of God.

MUST BOW Romans 14:4-13 Devotional:- “For it is written: "As I live, says the LORD, Every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall confess to God."” (V. 11) NKJV      Please know that victory in this world is your heritage in Christ Jesus. In the redemptive package that was given to you when you were saved, victory is one of it. Therefore, you must not live as someone defeated anymore. Be more conscious of your victory than anything else from now on. 

YOUR MOUTH Luke 21:7-19 Devotional:-“for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist” (V. 15) NKJV      It is important for us to know that the word of God has put us in the office of god over the devil (Exodus 7:1). This is part of the blessing of the Spirit of God dwelling in us. So we exercise the authority of God. Part of this authority is judging the devil and his host. God’s word says every tongue that shall rise against us, we shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17).

SPIRITUAL EARS Matthew 13:10-16 Devotional:- “For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, And their eyes they have closed, Lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.'” (V.15) NKJV      Your Spiritual ears are quite different from your physical ears. If you don’t understand the things of the spirit, it will be difficult to hear God. Please know that spirits don’t have our kind of physical ears. Also, understand that you are a spirit being, though you dwell in the body. Spiritual ears are the ears of your Inner Man or your spirit being. 

SPIRITUAL EYES Genesis 13:8-18 Devotional:- “for all the land which you see I give to you and your descendants forever” (V.15) NKJ V      To victoriously enter your heritage in this world, you must grow your spiritual eyes. That is, you must be able to see what is going to happen before it happens. You must not be unaware of the events of life. You must see ahead to be able to take advantage of all situations. That is when you can be victorious.

BELIEVE IN WORKING Proverbs 28:14-22 Devotional:- “He who tills his land will have plenty of bread, But he who follows frivolity will have poverty enough!poverty” (v.19) NKJV        Many people, especially Christians in this part of the world, have not woken up to the fact that nothing will fall from heaven. Everything a man will ever need is already provided here on Earth. We only need to be willing to work to locate them. From the day you begin to know that the blessing of God is waitıng at your work, your life will begin to change for good.

BE A BLESSING Acts 10:34-43 Devotional:- “how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.” (V.38) NKJV      God has created each one on the earth to be a blessing to nations (Genesis 12:1-3; Jeremiah 1:5). So, He has loaded us with unique abilities to be a blessing to people around us. No matter what you may be going through, one of the ways to sail through is by being a blessing.

START FROM THERE 2 Kings 4:1-7 Devotional:- “So Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil"” (V. 2) NKJV      One of the tricks the devil wants to employ on us is to make us think we don’t have what we need to succeed. That is why most people often think that if they have certain things, they would have been able to make it. But if we want to face the reality of life right in our hands and hearts lies what can make us succeed. We indeed need the help and favour of God, but they will only catch up with us when we are using the one we have wisely. 

RESIST HIM James 4:4-8 Devotional:- “Resist the devil and he will flee from you”. (v.7)      Each believer must carry the understanding that they are equipped to win. The word ‘winning’ simply indicates there are battles. God did not promise us a battle-free life but a victorious life (1 John 5:4, John 16:33, Deuteronomy 20:1). So, for believers to face challenges is not a big deal. Since our victory is guaranteed. The end of the battle is determined from the beginning.

IN HIS WILL 2 Corinthians 1:1-15 Devotional:- “Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God which is at Corinth, with all the saints who are in all Achaia” (v.1) NKJ V        Sometimes when we are faced with diverse persecutions or trials, we ask if God has called us. Some even condemn themselves and comment that God has left them. At such a time, many Christians just go about as though God is no more for them, and in most cases, the devil wants to take advantage and bring discouragement and frustration. Sometimes when our expectation is not forthcoming as we expect, we are often found in this situation.

BE VIGILANT 1 Peter 5:5-11 Devotional:- “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour” (v. 8) NKJV      Just as a soldier on the battlefield, so are Christians in this world. From the day you confessed Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you have departed from the camp of the devil to that of Jesus (1 Peter 2:9). And these are the camps that are ever against one another, just like light and darkness cannot coexist.

GIVE NO ROOM  Devotional:- Ephesians 4:25-32 “nor give place to the devil” (v.27) NKJV      Every Christian needs to know that it is completely dangerous and delicate to give room to the devil in our lives. By giving room, I mean allowing him to establish himself in our lives. I have seen Christians playing with what they should not play with. Sometimes we are not mindful that if we give the devil one mile in our lives, he will want to go ten.

TAKE IT BY FORCE Devotional:- Matthew 11:11-19 “And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force” (v. 12) NKJV      You, as a believer, must believe in victory and there is no victory without battle. The bible did not hide it from us that we are in battle. So don’t expect things to always be automatic. If not, you will frustrate yourself in great defeat. You must live a battle-ready life.

UNMOVED FAITH Matthew 15:21-28 Devotional:- “And she said, "Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs eat the crumbs which fall from their masters' table" (V.27) NKJV      Sometimes, by the principle of our response to life or obedience to God, we might not have been qualified for some things. But faith can qualify us. That is why Jesus said He has not come for the rich but that the poor may be rich. He has come to remove the barriers in the lives of people and to release them to their destiny.

FLOATING AXE Devotional:- 2 Kings 6:1-7 “So the man of God said, "Where did it fall?" And he showed him the place. So he cut off a stick, and threw it in there; and he made the iron float’’ (V.6) NKJV        Sometimes when we read about some great wonders of God in the Bible, something makes us feel it was because the people were very special. But we need to know that they are men of like passion (James 5:17-18). They were just exactly like we are, but they were only men of faith. This makes God to work wonders through them.

THE FALL OF JERICHO Joshua 6:6-20 Devotional:- “So the people shouted when the priests blew the trumpets. And it happened when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat. Then the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city” (V.20) NKJV         Often time the enemy doesn’t want God’s children to approach their blessing, and he will fence it round. Though it is just within their reach, the enemy will make it unavailable. So, they keep waiting endlessly. The blessing is there, but the fences must collapse to obtain it.

STEPPING INTO JORDAN Joshua 3:5-17 Devotional:- “that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away at Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan. So the waters that went down into the Sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, failed, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho” (V. 16) NKJV      Many may not know that God is not going to do great things in their life until they are ready to cooperate with Him. For His wonders to happen in our lives, He has a part, and we also have a part. If a man is not ready to play his part, God is also not going to play His part. Playing your part is a sign of faith in God's ability. When you do, He will also play His glorious part.

BE COMMITTED IN ZION Psalm 69:5-12 Devotional:- “Because zeal for Your house has eaten me up, And the reproaches of those who reproach You have fallen on me”. (V. 9) NKJV      God’s strength is always available in His house (Psalm 84:7) . He has ordained His house as a centre of strength. No matter the weakness people encounter, God has organised His house as a place to renew strength. The word of God says those who appear in Zion are always increasing in strength. This is not just a show up but a heart toward His house.

BE CAREFUL OF SUCCESS Devotional:- Deuteronomy 8:11-20 "Beware that you do not forget the LORD your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I command you today” (V. 11) NKJV      Today, you may be facing some challenges, but your comfort will soon come. The challenge today is simply to prepare you for the coming glory (Nehemiah 8:18). So I know that your season of success is closer than you imagine. Know that we are about to see the greatest breakthrough in the body of Christ. 

HANGING OUT WITH GOD Devotional:- Luke 18:1-8 “Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart” (V. 1) NKJV  One of the most taught topics in Christendom in this part of the world is prayer. And to the glory of God, we have really embraced prayer as a weapon in God. Yet we need to relate more with God in times of personal prayers than in corporate prayers. It is very important that you personally grow your prayer life.

FAITH IN HIS NAME Acts 3:9-16 Devotional:- And His name, through faith in His name, has made this man strong, whom you see and know. Yes, the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all. (V. 16) NKJV      One of the strengths given to the believer in God is the name of Jesus. God did not leave us to walk through the challenges of our life without a key to always open to us the doors of healing, power and grace. And this is the name of Jesus. God’s word says God has given us a name that is above every other name. The name is given to us to unlock the power of God and to overcome the forces of the enemy.

FAITH IN HIS POWER Exodus 14:20-31 Devotional:- “And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea” (V. 27) NKJV      Even though the power of the devil is fake, he always tries to use the fake to convince and confuse the children of God who have the original. He does this by creating an attractive package for the fake power. This is the attraction of being quick and looking real. Yet at the end, it brings its victim into disgrace and failure.

FAITH IN HIS PROMISES Hebrew 10:19-25 Devotional:- “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised)” (V. 23) KJV      If faith has no substance, it will be a weak faith. The substance of faith is the potentiality of its evidence. It is the certainty of the conviction of that faith. It is the very thing that produces confidence in the faith. But all of these have their foundation in the word of His promises. It is the promises of God that produce the substance of your faith. It is in the Word of God that you can substantiate your faith.

FAITH IN HIM 1 Corinthians 16:13-18 Devotional:- “Watch, stand fast in the faith, be brave, be strong” (V. 13) NKJV       To be established in faith demands that you establish your faith in God. The Bible says those who come to Him must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). In the experience of our walk with God, there are occasions when our heart wants to doubt if God really exist.

A HEART OF BLESSING Matthew 20:20-28 Devotional:- “just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many” (V. 28) NKJV      As believers, the greatest opportunity you can ever have is to be a blessing. When a life is not a blessing, it cannot be fulfilled. The truth is that you are not in this world for yourself. We came here for God and others. If not for others, you would not be needed. So you are only important when others can be affected by your life.

SERVING THE LORD Mark 10:35-45 Devotional:- “And whoever of you desires to be first shall be slave of all” (v.44) NKJV      Serving the Lord is a medium through which you reach out to other lives. The devil is drawing many away from God. It is the lifestyle of the world to be selfish. Everyone is thinking about themselves, and the language of people has become me, my and mine. This is prophetically said about the end time (2 Timothy 3:1-2). Surprisingly, this is also becoming a factor against the service of many to the Lord. But you should know that God is your hope and your future.

MAKE YOUR CONCLUSION Joshua 24:8-16 Devotional:- “ And if it seems evil to you to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD” (V. 15) NKJV      One of the goals of the enemy in the end time is to turn people away from God. If you read through the word of God, you will discover that there is much calamity to befall the sons of men. This is part of God's agenda to punish iniquity. Please know, therefore, that the affliction is just starting (Mark 13:8). But God had made provision for your own security. He said it is only with your eye you will see it (Psalm 91:7-8).

YOUR STRONGHOLD Zechariah 9:11-17 Devotional:- “Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even today do I declare that I will render double unto thee” (V. 12) KJV      One of the great comforts we have in God is that we have hope in Him. We know that God is on our side. Things will work out well for us. God’s word says all things will work together for our good (Romans 8:28). But when hope looks delayed, weariness often sets in the heart of men and weakens their faith.

FIXING THINGS Genesis 32:22-32 Devotional:- “And He said, "Let Me go, for the day breaks." But he said, "I will not let You go unless You bless me!"” (V. 26) NKJV      Prayer times are a good time for us to walk with God for our strength. In this part of the world, believers give so much time to prayers, but we need more understanding about what prayers are. 

MINISTER OF HEALTH Proverbs 12:15-20 Devotional:- “Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” (V. 18) NIV      All through the generations of man, one of the easiest things to do is wickedness. You will observe that pulling down is easier than building up. To destroy is far easier than to mend. This is actually the trick of the devil to make men live in wickedness. It is easier to curse than to bless. If you observe that you don’t find it easy to bless people, the reason is that the heart of man is desperately wicked (Jeremiah 17:9).

GROUNDED IN LOVE Ephesians 3:11-21 Devotional:- “That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,” (V. 17) KJV      When life goes through challenging times, one of the aftermaths of such an experience is that people become bitter. The enemy always wants to use our challenges to draw us out of love. This is because in times of challenges, we understand people better. Then we can discern those who love us indeed and those who do not. Yet we need to know that to be out of love is to be out of God, for God is love (1 John 4:8).

SHARING YOUR MIND Genesis 15:1-14 “But Abram said, "Lord GOD, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"” (V. 2) NKJV      Sometimes we need to learn to share our minds with God. This is part of prayers. You can do when you are alone with God. It is not a sin against God when you share your mind. This can actually lead to the next revelation or instruction to glory. 

KNOWING HIS WISDOM   James 3:12-18 Devotional:- “But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy.” (v. 17) NKJV      Everyone in the world today has come to know the viability of wisdom. Everyone now knows that it takes wisdom to succeed. Some years ago, people used to think it was just hard work. Later, it was realised that the people who are really making it are not necessarily struggling.

KNOWING HIS WAYS Isaiah 55:1-11 Devotional:- “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are my ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.” (V. 9) NKJV      One of the things we need to know about God is His ways. If we don’t know His ways, we may not be able to follow Him. When you see anyone demonstrating the power of God, it is because His ways have been made known to him/her. God’s word says He made his ways known to Moses and His acts to the children of Israel (Psalm 103:7).

KNOWING HIS WILL   1 John 5:11-15 Devotional:- “This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.” (V.14) NIV No one can enjoy God to the full except he/she knows how to please God. Pleasing God qualifies you to earn His favour and goodness. God’s word says when a man’s way pleases the Lord, even his enemies will not border about him because God will make them not to think of him for evil (Proverbs 16:7).

KNOWING HIM Daniel 11:30-37 Devotional:- “With flattery he will corrupt those who have violated the covenant, but the people who know their God will firmly resist him.” (v.32) NIV      When anyone doesn’t have a good understanding of God, such will be very easy for the devil to deceive. That is why some easily backslide and follow the way of the devil. Knowledge, they say, is power. When you have good and deep knowledge of God, you will encounter the strength and the power of God to resist the devil. The major challenge faced by the church today is that many people follow God and do not know Him.

EAGLE BELIEVERS Isaiah 40:27-31 Devotional:- “But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their Strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” (V. 31) NKJV       So many things made the eagle peculiar. One of those features is that he rises up in the strong wind that chases other birds to hide. What brings troubles to others is what brings blessings to the eagles. When some people see failure, they see lifting. This should be your attitude in this challenging time (Job 22:29). In the scriptures we read today, God’s word likens believers to be an eagle. He said, they shall mount up wings like eagles.

SOWING I Kings 3:1-14 Devotional:- “Now the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the great high place: Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar.” (v.4) NKJV    Giving in obedience to God remains a major means of demonstrating true love for God (John 14:15). The truth is that if we truly love Him, giving what He has given us for the work of His kingdom will not be difficult for us. All through the scripture, God always test people’s love by asking them to give.

UNITY Devotional:- Genesis 11:1-6 And the LORD said, “Indeed the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them” (v.6) NKJV A trick of the devil, the church must come up to overcome today, is the spirit of division and self-centeredness. The body of Jesus has to come up with the understanding that the diversity of the gift and ability of the Holy Spirit is not for division but for unity, edification, and to build a strong body of Christ that will be stronger than all devices of the devil. Unity is a strength ordained for the church. That was what the people building the Tower of Babel were tapping into. God’s word calls it an anointing [Psalm 133:1-3]. Your family needs that anointing, your business needs it, and your local assembly needs it. The church must be very careful of disunity. The moment someone has a little light or some gift, he thinks he will need to go and stand alone. Bu...

JOY Isaiah 12:1-6 Devvotional:- “Therefore with joy you will draw water From the wells of salvation” (V. 3) NKJV      You must know that one of the virtues for our strength in life is joy (Nehemiah 8:10). Please choose to live in joy for the rest of your life. This is because you are created for joyful living. If you don’t consciously make this choice, you have also made a wrong choice (Habakkuk 3:17-19).

FELLOWSHIP   Hebrews 12:22-29 Devotional:- “But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly” (V.22) NIV     Fellowship with God and with the body of Christ is one of the most beautiful things man should enjoy. God has planted so many blessings and benefits into this relationship. One of the best ways to connect with these blessings is by fellowshipping with children of God. The reason is that fellowship is the richest source of strength (Psalm 84:7).

ESTABLISHED IN FAITH Colossians 2:1-10 Devotional:- “rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving” (V. 7) NKJV      If anyone is to overcome in the challenging season of life, he/she must be established in faith. The enemy knows that the life wire that keeps God flowing to you is faith. That is why God’s word says the just shall live by faith (Romans 1:17). It is faith that brings God’s promises to manifestation in your life. It is by faith that you draw the heavenly promises to be evident in your life on earth.

MEDITATION Psalm 1:1-6 Devotional:- “But his delight is in the law of the LORD, And in His law he meditates day and night..” (v.2) NKJV      God’s word describes someone blessed because he/she meditates on the word of God, day and night. How can this be? The word of God is the source of inspiration that strengthens us to perform (John 1:1-3). The Bible told us that God is a spirit; therefore, meditating on the word of God is drawing on the strength of the spirit (John 6:63).

GRATITUDE Habakkuk 3:8-19 Devotional:-  “Yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation..” (V. 18) NKJV      One of the great weapons to help you retain your strength in God is gratitude. This is because ingratitude reduces our strength. That is why it is often said that gratitude is the mother of altitude. Gratitude strengthens you with peace sufficient for progress. It makes God approve of you for your next level in life (Luke 17:17-19).

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 us 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 Soul. 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 4:1-8 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 Soul 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).
