Welcome to "Victorious Daily Devotion" in the most compassionate and wonder working name of Jesus Christ!💐🙂🌹

Topic: Encouraging Ourselves! Only Way To Encourage Ourselves To Joyful, Peaceful And Victorious Living Amidst Adversities Of Life Is, To Encourage Ourselves In The Word Of God. David Encouraged Himself In God's Word When He Had Neck Deep Problems.

Life itself is a battle. We are in the middle of the battle.. No journey is complete before the destination is reached. Never quit nor give up.

Every one of us are in the battle. Battles of different nature.

The world we trust loves you today, and stabs you tomorrow, seeing the opportunity. Let us Trust in God and He will never disappoint us but appoints us.

David lost his wife, his families and everything was destroyed by enemies, and David's own men turned against him. Turned against to stone him. He was at the brink of giving up.

Many of us today are unable to stand against the challenges in life, be it financial problem, loss of loved ones, prolonged illness, constant violance at home, children disappointing you for not being grateful to what you sacrificed, rebellion, list piles on..

You may be standing at the edge of faith. People who promised you might have betrayed you.

What did David do at this stage? His wives and his children were captured. His commanders and generals have left him. But David encouraged himself.

We need to encourage ourselves. We can bank on God and on trusted servants of God. I emphasis, trusted God's servants...

Word promises, "Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world." When you are up against the wall, we must know where is the source of power we need to draw from..

The problem with us is brooding over the past. Past failures, past defeats...past heartache...

Beloved! Let us refresh from the Word of God and declare... "The lord is my strength and shield." Let us remind ourselves the Word... "That we can do not few things but all things through Christ who strengthens us."

Let's remind ourselves from the Word that "No weapons formed against us shall prosper."

A time for introspection. We know about scriptures but in reality we do not know the scriptures. We know about Christ, but we do not know the Christ. That's why oftentimes we panic and do not experience His power when chips are down. It happened to me and happens to everyone. We know the importance about holiness, but we don't live a holy life to challenge the evil, to challenge the unholy, to challenge the darkness. It's so important to memorize the Bible verses. But it doesn't make any sense if we keep it in our head rather than in our heart and without implementing it.

We know about the love of Christ but really did not taste His love. Had we tasted His love, we do not waste time. We do not be in our comfort zones. That is the foundational problem in our lives. We always want to receive receive receive but but do not desire to give.

Life is a battlefield. Don't walk alone or else we will be blown away. Let's take the Chief Commander, Jesus beside us. And declare often His Word. It's a life time warranty. We Will Be Victorious, Joyful And Fruitful. So, why delay? let us seek Christ and let Him be our Commander in Chief.

For complete devotion, let us watch the short video.

Have a blessed and fruitful time!!💐🌹🙂
