THE WORDS OF TRUTH DAILY DEVOTIONAL
Apr 2nd, 2026
𝕋𝕀𝕋𝕃𝔼:
BORN TO OVERCOME: THE VICTORY LIFE IN CHRIST
KEY VERSE:
“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” — 1 John 5:4
DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE
To be born of God is not merely a religious expression, it is a spiritual transformation that changes identity, authority, and destiny. The Apostle John reveals a profound truth:
Victory is not something believers struggle to get; it is embedded in their new nature.
The “world” here represents systems, values, temptations, and pressures that oppose God, sin, fear, pride, lust, and unbelief. Naturally, man is subject to these forces. But through spiritual rebirth, the believer receives divine DNA, a nature that cannot be defeated by worldly systems.
This victory is activated and sustained by faith, not just belief, but unwavering trust in God’s Word, promises, and finished work through Christ. Faith becomes the channel through which divine victory manifests in daily life.
Therefore, overcoming is not accidental, it is intentional, spiritual, and consistent. You are not fighting for victory; you are fighting from victory.

HYMN
Victory in Jesus
Eugene M. Bartlett (1939)
Message: Celebrates redemption, victory over sin, and the power of salvation through Christ.
1. I heard an old, old story how a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood's atoning,
Then I repented of my sins and won the victory
Chorus
O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever!
He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him.
He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood
2. I heard about His healing, of His cleansing pow'r revealing
How He made the lame to walk again and caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, "Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit,"
And some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of victory.
3. I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory,
And I heard about the streets of gold beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing and the old redemption story,
And some sweet day I'll sing up there the song of victory.
