Victory Daily Devotional

RIGHT JUDGMENT I Kings 3:16-28 Devotional:- “And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered; and they feared the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to administer justice” (V. 28) NKJV      If a man does not know who he is, he will be molested by every situation and circumstance. The reason why you have faced much frustration in your life is the loss of your identity. You must wake up to know who you are. If the same spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is inside you, why should circumstances, finances, relationships, or business keep you down? This is against the scripture (Romans 8:11). You need to know who you are.

FEAR OF GOD Genesis 39:7-16 Devotional:- “There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God?” (v.9) NKJV      Wherever the Holy Spirit is, He has seven major dimensions by which he manifests if He is allowed. One of the dimensions is putting in the believer the Spirit of the fear of God. This is not a fear of God because He is wicked but because we know His greatness, love, and we love Him. Do you know that because a man loves his wife, he will not always like to do what offends her except for correction, which is even to be done in love? So also believers operate in the fear of God because he loves the Lord (John 14:23). If you see a believer rising and falling, it is because the fear of God is not in place. It is because the Spirit of God is not allowed to operate in his/her life.

SPIRIT OF KNOWLEDGE I Kings 14:1-12 Devotional:- “And so it was, when Ahijah heard the sound of her footsteps as she came through the door, he said, "Come in, wife of Jeroboam. Why do you pretend to be another person? For I have been sent to you with bad news” (v.6) NKJV      Another great arm of the Holy Spirit is the spirit of knowledge. This is a virtue that furnishes the mind with information ahead of time. So as a spirit-filled believer, you can have a foreknowledge of events. If you observe yourself, this might have been showing in your life bit by bit. This information aims to bring you full awareness of this operation for your maximum exploit.

SPIRIT OF MIGHT Mark 9:20-27 Devotional:- “Then the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, "He is dead"” (v26) NKJV      In this end time, God is beginning to do much more than human comprehension through the Spirit of might. One of the great differences between man and God is the possession of the Spirit of might. This is beyond what the devil and hell can handle. Until the church fully understands and starts to operate in the Spirit of Might, she may not be able to fulfill her calling.

SPIRIT OF COUNSEL Genesis 41:29-41 Devotional:- “So the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants” (v.37) NKJV      Even though you are just an entity, because you are a carrier of the Holy Spirit, what is inside you is so big and unlimited. In other words, you are more than one. Your inner man is innumerable. What is in you is far richer than you can imagine. One of the great arms of the Spirit in you is the Spirit of counsel (Isaiah 11:2). You need to know that you are not an ordinary being. You belong to the order of God. So you carry all that is of God.

SPIRIT OF UNDERSTANDING  Daniel 5:1-11 Devotional:- “There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the Spirit of the Holy God. And in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, were found in him; and King Nebuchadnezzar your father-your father the king-made him chief of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers” (V. 11) NKJV      The human level of exploits in life depends largely on their level of understanding. The depth of your understanding determines the size of your light in life. Understanding is what makes people outstanding. If you can't dig deep, you can’t grow tall. It is as you can take root downward, that you can bear fruits upward. Failure is mostly a result of a lack of understanding (Hosea 4:6). People of understanding are of peaceful progress. Since they can dig deep to know the right thing in life they can keep flying.

SPIRIT OF WISDOM I Corinthians 2:6-10 Devotional:- “But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory” (V.7) NKJV      The mind of every man is created to operate wisdom even at the level of common sense. This is one of the reasons why many are poor. The reason why this is so is that most human beings do not know how to empower their mind for wisdom with the right and quality information. They rather believe that life is all about making do with everything that comes their way. Wrong information and association have made many minds dull (Proverbs 13:20).

HELPER John 14:23-26 Devotional:-v“But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you” (v.26) NKJV      Human beings by nature and creation are so limited. When you call someone a professor, he/she cannot know everything, even in the field of specialization. How much more in the other spheres of life? Our limitation is that we live in a body though we are a spirit being. A spirit is not as that limited. Even though it can’t be in different places at the same time it can be invisible. It can read far beyond the physical to the intent of mind and matters. 

A SYMPATHIZER Hebrews 4:14-16 Devotional:- “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin” (V. 15) NKJV      Sometimes, we feel Intimidated by our weaknesses, which often leads to inactivity. Weaknesses in people's life are a result of their limitations. That is why no one is perfect. Sometimes, when we try to explain our Situation to others, they cannot understand. They even look at us as lazy and non-willing people. Even in our time of challenges, the best people can offer you is further frustration.

LIVING WATER John 7:37-43 Devotional:- “He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water” (V. 38) NKJV      As a member of the body of Christ, you are a debtor to fulfil a prophecy to this world. That is why the world is waiting for your manifestation (Romans 8:19). Inside you are what the world has been waiting for. It has become impossible for you to live in this world without manifesting the great glory in you.

THE NAME Philippians 2:5-11 Devotional:- “Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name” ( V. 9) NKJV      One of the things you have in God as a person in Christ is the name of Jesus. Name is a symbol of power and greatness. Don’t assume that name is only for attention or identity. The names of people sometimes interpret the events that surround there lives. Names sometimes declare people's destinations in life. And the name could also be an identity of greatness. There are great names and there are mere names. There are names you will mention, and people will look at you twice. Imagine you entering anywhere and you introduce yourself as “Mr. God.”

GREAT FUTURE 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      The greatest aspect of your redemption is the work of your salvation. This saves you from doom and delivers to you a great destiny. God is a great God, and He cannot create failure. It has been a painful thing to Him to see the greater percentage of the people He has created in failure. This is one of the reasons for our new birth. And as a new creature, you are redeemed from defeat to victory (John 5:41), from lack to abundance (John 10:10), from sickness to health (Matthew 8:17), and from destruction to great destiny in God.

AUTHORITY Luke 10:18-24 Devotional:- “Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (V. 19) NKJV      Since you are a new creature in Christ, you have a new authority in God. No one can command respect and results without authority. Many people sometimes mistake boldface and noise for authority, but you need to see a person of authority. They don’t even carry the look. This is because it is not about the look or size; it is in the awareness and consciousness of who you are. People of authority have great faith.

NEW LIFE John 6:53-58 Devotional:- “Then Jesus said to them, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink His blood, you have no life in you” (V. 53) NKJV      Many believers today, though saved into the supernatural realm of God, are yet ordinary people. This is because they are ignorant of their new nature in Christ. This is also because we are not partaking of the flesh and the body of Christ with revelation.

SOUND MIND 2 Timothy 1:3-8 Devotional:- “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind” (v.7) NKJV      One of the great heritages we have in Christ Jesus is a sound mind. This is possible by the Holy Spirit in us. A sound mind is a mind that is wonderful and good. A mind that is capable of handling any class of situation. For this mind, nothing is too difficult to reason out rightly.

COURAGE  Acts 2:4-15 Devotional:- “But Peter, standing up with the eleven, raised his voice and said to them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and heed my words” (v.14) NKJV .      No man can face a big challenge except with the spirit of courage, which is referred to as the conqueror's backbone. You, as a believer, must know that the Spirit in you is the Spirit of courage. There is no mountain a courageous man cannot climb, no hurdle he cannot jump. And so taking risks is a normal thing in life for him.

PEACE John 14:27-30 Devotional:- “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid” (V. 27) NKJV      In the school of faith, the level of your peace determines the strength of your faith. That is why the Bible says that quietness and confidence shall be your strength (Isaiah 30:15). Part of our heritage in Christ is peace. This peace is given to us by the Spirit of the prince of peace in us. The prince of peace is Jesus Christ (Isaiah 9:6). When there is peace within you, there will be peace around you. The peace within commands the peace without.

BEING FORGIVEN 1 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 .      One of the strongest weapons of the enemy against human confidence is condemnation and fear. And these are products of the feelings of not being forgiven. Nothing weakens the human conscience like guilt (Proverbs 28:1). No matter how strong a man is, a guilty conscience will make him a vegetable in the face of his enemies. He will always submit to the enemy. He/she will always look down on himself/herself.

HOLY SPIRIT Ezekiel 37:1-14 Devotional:- “I will put My Spirit in you, and you shall live, and I will place you in your own land. Then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken it and performed it," says the LORD" (V. 19) NKJV      One major area where the believers are defeated is in the area of self-identification. See, ignorance of your identity makes you a defeated man before the battle. If you have not been looking at the mirror, do you know that you may carry a wrong impression of yourself? But when you look at yourself in the mirror, you will be aware of your size and shape. What you are simply doing now is looking at yourself in the mirror of the word of God (2 Corinthians 3:18).

TEMPLE 1 Corinthians 3:16-21 Devotional:- “Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?” (V. 16) NKJV      In biblical terms, a temple is known as a place of worship of God. It is a place for the presence of God. A sacred place separated and consecrated for spiritual worship and where God dwells. So, it is often referred to as the house of God. This is the most precious place for both man and God. No one plays or toils around this temple. The angels of God always surround His temple. The armies of heaven are always on guard. The glory of God will always cover His temple. There, people find healing, recovery and joy. This is the nature of the temple of God.

THE RIGHTEOUS 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      It is only a person with the life of God in him/her that can be righteous. This is because righteousness is the nature of God and not of man (Romans 3:10). Moral standard does not make anyone qualify as righteous before the Lord. That is why the bible says the righteousness of man can be likened to a dirty rag before the Lord (Isaiah 64:6). Anyone that does not the Spirit of God cannot operate the nature of God. Such is counted unrighteous no matter how well-behaved or moral standard. Because we only judge what we see God sees all things. We look at the face; He looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7).

A BRANCH John 15:1-8 Devotional:- “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing” (V. 5) NKJV      As a member of the body of Christ, the Bible referred to you as a branch and Jesus Christ as the vine. The branch of every tree is the same as the tree. They enjoy the same flow of water from the root through the stem. The vine in the scripture refers to the stem. And Jesus said He is the stem. This is evidence of your genuine likeness with God through the Lord Jesus Christ. Every tree enjoys the same flow of all kinds of strength from the root and from the leaves.

SIGNS AND WONDERS Mark 16:15-20 Devotional:- “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues ” (V.17) NKJV      So many believers have become so lukewarm than reigning in the class that God has put them. But God is bringing us back in full force into our strength and our class in Jesus name. “I and the children that God have given me are for signs and wonders (Isaiah 8:18). Do you know that as children of the living God, you are for signs and wonders? If you are living a lesser life today, a change has got to come. If you are downcast and mocked among the unbelievers, a change has got to come. Many believers are just like eaglets who have started feeling belonging among the chickens. That is not your realm. God is sending His words to wash you of your burden, and you shall soon walk into greater light.

CO-CREATOR Hebrew 11:30-40 Devotional:- “God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us” (40) NKJV      One of the most beautiful uniqueness and attributes of God is His ability to create. That is why we refer to Him as our creator. He created the heavens and earth. He created all that we can ever see on Earth and beyond. He created the sea and the sky. He created the mountains and all the rivers. But do you know that He has left some things not to be made perfect without us?

TOPMAN Deuteronomy 28:10-14 Devotional:- “And the LORD will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the LORD your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them” (V. 13) NKJV      In the New Testament, every new creature in Christ is not programmed to be beneath. He is to be a top man. This promise, says it is never the desire of God for any of his people to ever be low but great. So many up till now are not able to walk in this promise of God. This is because of God’s covenant they were not able to fulfill.

MEMBER OF HIS BODY I Corinthians 12:24-28 Devotional:- “Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually” (V. 27) NKJV      The Bible refers to us as members of the body of Christ or as part of the body of Christ. This truth brings us to the light of understanding of your importance, as a part of the Church. But more than that is the understanding by the same scripture that you as an individual are a member of Christ's body. The ‘body’ here can therefore be seen in two dimensions. It interprets the church as a single group and a team. It also interprets that each member as being part of the body of Jesus Christ. He is the head and we are the body. We have become members of His body by His Spirit that dwells in us (1 Corinthians 3:16).

KINGS Revelation 5:8-14 Devotional:- “And have made us kings and priest to our God and we shall reign on the earth” (V. 10) NKJV      There are numerous people in every land but there are few kings. These are leaders of the people. These are people with authority and dominion over the environment. He that falls victim to their wrath is made to suffer greatly (Proverbs 19:12) The scripture we read today brought it to light that believers have been appointed as kings and priests and we shall reign upon the earth. I need to let you know that the scripture is referring to you. We have been made kings over the power and principalities that rule the earth. This is because the almighty God now dwells in you by His Spirit (1 Corinthians 3:16; 1 John 4:4).

SPECIAL MADE Psalms 139:13-18 Devotional:- “I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well” (V. 14) NKJV      At creation, God the master designer does not intend to create men of ordinary destiny. He rather wants to bring about such great variation to creation for unusual harmony and much beauty. That is why humanity is beautiful, both in looks and uniqueness.
