Declaration of Encourgement – Victory Life Church

I DECLARE – I am a people builder. I will look for opportunities to encourage others to bring out the best in them and to help them accomplish their dreams. I will speak words of faith and victory, affirming them, approving them, letting them know they are valued. I will call out their seeds of greatness, helping them to rise higher and become all that God created them to be.

1 Thessalonians 5:11 (ESV) Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.

1 Thessalonians 5:14-15 (ESV) And we urge you, brothers, admonish the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all. ¹⁵ See that no one repays anyone evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to everyone.

Romans 10:8 (ESV) But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim)

Romans 15:5 (ESV) May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another, in accord with Christ Jesus.

1 Corinthians 14:3 (ESV) On the other hand, the one who prophesies speaks to people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation.

This is my declaration. This is what I Declare!

I Declare Victory – When I Tire

I Declare - Victory in my life and in the lives of all those around me. When my arms tire or when I feel weak, I can count on those around me to help pull me through. And when those around me feel weak or tired, I will be there to lift up their aching arms. Here's the thing, I am not in this alone, God has surrounded me with awesome people who will lift my arms when I tire. Also, I want my friends to know, I want my family to know, I want my church to know, I want my coworkers to know...that they are not alone. I am there for them, ready to lift their tired arms, in order to ensure the victory in their lives.
Thank you Lord, for the Victory provided for me at the cross, I gratefully receive it by faith.(Note: these “I Declare” devotions are meant to be proclaimed out loud, as part of your personal daily devotions)
Exodus 17:8-16 (ESV) Then Amalek came and fought with Israel at Rephidim. ⁹ So Moses said to Joshua, “Choose for us men, and go out and fight with Amalek. Tomorrow I will stand on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand.” ¹⁰ So Joshua did as Moses told him, and fought with Amalek, while Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. ¹¹ Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. ¹² But Moses' hands grew weary, so they took a stone and put it under him, and he sat on it, while Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. ¹³ And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword. ¹⁴ Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.” ¹⁵ And Moses built an altar and called the name of it, The Lord Is My Banner, ¹⁶ saying, “A hand upon the throne of the Lord! The Lord will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
This is my declaration. This is what I Declare!
No Fear Here

2 Timothy 1:6-7 (ESV)For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands, 7 for God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control. We have been (past tense) unleashed from fear. It no longer should have any control or power over us. Our decisions should no longer be bound to fear. Man and mans power over us should be broken - that is making decisions based on the fear of man. I say should because according to the finished work of the cross, we've been unleashed from fear, but in order to fully benefit from this finished act, we must accept it as ours and begin to live like it's so. Are you tracking with me? Unleashed means completely set free, totally released from those things that hold us back, no longer bound by its control. Let's live like it, line our confession up with it and move away from the many tentacles of fear. Let us proclaim loud and clear..."No Fear Here". Amen!
I Declare…Victory

I Declare - victory over my life, over my family, over my place of employment, over my church and over everyone I come in contact with. The life I live, I live in victory. Christ has given me the victory and I have determined, 'come what may', to walk in Christ's victory for my life. Abraham, my father in the faith, walked in victory. All of Abraham descendants walked in victory and now, through the cross of Christ, I am a child of Abraham...one of his very descendants, thus, victory is mine through the faith of Abraham, my father of faith.
Thank you Lord, for the Victory provided for me at the cross, I gratefully receive it by faith. (Note: these “I Declare” devotions are meant to be proclaimed out loud, as part of your personal daily devotions)
Genesis 17:1-8 (NLT) When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord appeared to him and said, “I am El-Shaddai—‘God Almighty.’ Serve me faithfully and live a blameless life. ² I will make a covenant with you, by which I will guarantee to give you countless descendants.” ³ At this, Abram fell face down on the ground. Then God said to him, ⁴ “This is my covenant with you: I will make you the father of a multitude of nations! ⁵ What’s more, I am changing your name. It will no longer be Abram. Instead, you will be called Abraham, for you will be the father of many nations. ⁶ I will make you extremely fruitful. Your descendants will become many nations, and kings will be among them! ⁷ “I will confirm my covenant with you and your descendants after you, from generation to generation. This is the everlasting covenant: I will always be your God and the God of your descendants after you. ⁸ And I will give the entire land of Canaan, where you now live as a foreigner, to you and your descendants. It will be their possession forever, and I will be their God.”
