Skip to content ANGLICAN COMMUNION DAILY FOUNTAIN DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY.
The Topic of Daily Fountain Devotional for 18th December 2024 Is “Victory Belongs To God”
Read: Daniel 11: 36-45(NKJV)
36 “Then the king shall do according to his own will: he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, shall speak blasphemies against the God of gods, and shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished; for what has been determined shall be done.
37 He shall regard neither the God of his fathers nor the desire of women, nor regard any god; for he shall exalt himself above them all.
38 But in their place he shall honor a god of fortresses; and a god which his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and pleasant things.
39 Thus he shall act against the strongest fortresses with a foreign god, which he shall acknowledge, and advance its glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and divide the land for gain.
40 “At the time of the end the king of the South shall attack him; and the king of the North shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter the countries, overwhelm them, and pass through.
41 He shall also enter the Glorious Land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall escape from his hand: Edom, Moab, and the prominent people of Ammon.
42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.
43 He shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; also the Libyans and Ethiopians shall follow at his heels.
44 But news from the east and the north shall trouble him; therefore he shall go out with great fury to destroy and annihilate many.
45 And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.
ANGLICAN COMMUNION DEVOTIONAL OUTLINE FOR 18TH DECEMBER 2024.
The king in our text today epitomizes wickedness. He honoured no one and carried on arrogantly as if no one could restrain him. He scattered other nations and even desecrated glorious lands. He will be so pompous and boast against the God of all creation; he will also exalt himself above every other god. He will promote idolatry and obnoxious practices among the peoples of the earth and this will lead to a fierce battle between him and the forces that oppose him (vv. 40-45). He will have a sweeping victory in a battle with the South, and greatly enrich himself. However, reports from the east and north will destabilize him and eventually lead to his fall as he will not receive help from anybody. Verse 45 reveals that he will be defeated in the battle and the Lord will triumph victoriously.
In this life, believers are involved in both seen and unseen, explainable and not-so-easy-to-explain battles. But we should be rest assured that victory ultimately belongs to our God. So no matter the battle raging in your life, be assured of victory on account of Christ’s finished work on the cross (Col. 2: 14-15). Victory belongs to our God who has also made us victorious in Christ.
PRAYER: Lord Jesus, by the virtue of your finished work at Calvary, make me victorious in every raging battle in my life. Amen.
