Uncompromising Apostolic Conviction for NYC

VISION

The vision of Victory Nation is to create an atmosphere where people from all walks of life can live victorious lives through unselfish devotion to God, unrestrained praise and worship, unhindered love for God’s people and unprohibited application of God’s word.

We Exist To Exalt Christ, Equip Disciples, and Evangelize To The World!

MISSION

Our mission is to help usher mankind into unprecedented intimacy with Christ. This ultimately produces the evidence of radical transformation in relationships through Loving, Serving, Healing and Growing. We endeavor to change the nations with the message of social, cultural and spiritual reformation.

 HOW WILL WE EXECUTE OUR PURPOSE

EXALTING CHRIST?

We exalt Christ through praise and worship, through a lifestyle of personal devotions and family devotions, prayer and fasting, bible reading and memorization.

• Mark 12:30 – And you must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength. We exalt Christ through our preaching and teaching of Christ and nothing else.

• 1 Corinthians 2:2 – For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. We exalt Christ through the wise stewardship of our time, talents, money, and by caring for our physical bodies. We exalt Christ in and through our interpersonal-relationships by honoring, serving and praying for one another.

EQUIPPING THE CHURCH

We equip the church through biblical based preaching, teaching, five fold demonstration and by teaching practical principles of Leadership, Evangelism, Church Growth, Counseling and Spiritual Authority.

• Ephesians 4:11-13 – He is the one who gave these gifts to the church; the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers. Their responsibility is to equip God’s people to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ, until we come to such unity in our faith and knowledge of God’s son that we will be mature and full grown in the Lord, measuring up to the full stature of Christ.

EVANGELIZING THE WORLD

We evangelize the world by training and sending men and women into communities to share the gospel, pray for the sick, give home bible studies, and by training and sending ministers to plant new churches throughout the United States and the World.

• Matthew 9:37, 38 – He said to his disciples, “The harvest is so great but the workers are so few. So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest and ask him to send out more workers to his fields.”

Our Journey

From Humble Beginnings to Urban Sanctuary

VICTORIOUS THROUGH DISCIPLESHIP: We endeavor to build a community of true Christian believers who will become fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ by continuing “steadfastly in the apostles’ doctrine, fellowship, breaking of bread, and in prayers” (Acts 2:42). Receiving sound doctrinal teachings from the word of God, spending time in fellowship with the brethren, eating with the brethren, and praying on a regular basis are four paramount things all true Christians must do on a regular basis in order to become true followers of Jesus Christ.
VICTORIOUS THROUGH WORD AND WORSHIP: We shall lead this local expression of the body of Christ into the true worship of the Father in Spirit and in truth (John 4:23-24) both by anointed teaching of the whole counsel of God in Scripture (Acts 20:27) and by leading the church in anointed singing in which God inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3). Anointed praise and worship is the key for the body of Christ to be the true “habitation of God through the Spirit” (Ephesians 2:22) which brings more anointing into all of our lives.
VICTORIOUS THROUGH INTERCESSION: The ENTIRE BODY OF VICTORY NATION WILL give themselves to the word of God and prayer (Acts 6:4) just as the first century apostles did so that the Church of the living God will be led by the Spirit of God in all things (Romans 8:14). Since there is no way to continually remain “filled with faith and of the Holy Spirit” (Acts 6:5) without continually giving oneself to God in intimate prayer (Acts 2:42), the leadership of this local expression of the body of Christ shall endeavor to continually remain filled with the Holy Spirit in order to strengthen the entire church for victorious Christian living. Every member is encouraged to follow Jesus in being a prayer warrior and intercessor for others (1 Tim. 2:1).
VICTORIOUS THROUGH UNITY AND LOVE IN THE BODY OF CHRIST: We endeavor to build a community of true Christians who will always obey God’s command to “love one another” (John 13:34), to “lay down our lives for the brethren” (1 John 3:16), and to “keep the unity of the faith in the bond of peace” with all true Apostolic Faith Christians in this local expression of the body of Christ and among all true Christians throughout the world. For all men shall know that we are Christ’s true disciples by our love for one another (John 13:35).
VICTORIOUS THROUGH EXPRESSION OF LOVE: We shall edify and build up the body of Christ by always “speaking the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15) rather than speaking truth in a mean or unloving spirit. We will always use our knowledge of the word of God to speak the truth in love rather than speaking truth with the wrong spirit of anger towards those we are supposed to love. For our Lord Jesus has commanded us to not only love our brothers and sisters in Christ, he also commanded to love our enemies (Matthew 5:44).
VICTORIOUS THROUGH LEADING BY EXAMPLE: The Leadership of Victory Nation will always endeavor to be fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ so that we can honestly say the same thing that the apostle Paul wrote in 1 Cor. 11:1, “Be imitators of me, as I am of Christ.” We will not only lead by sharing the whole counsel of God in teaching (Acts 20:27); we will also lead the church of the living God by our exemplary Christian lives which must always be rooted in love by the fruit of the indwelling Spirit of God (Galatians 5:22). For a farmer cannot teach others how to grow and harvest a good crop without first growing his own bountiful harvest (2 Timothy 2:6).
VICTORORIUS THROUGH SOUL WINNING AND TRUE DISCIPLESHIP MAKING: We shall build a strong Christian Community of disciples who are fully equipped for the work of the ministry in order to fulfill the Great Commission to share the true gospel with everyone and then to “make disciples of all nations” (Matthew 28:19) out of those who have been “born again” (John 3:3-5) by training them through our own exemplary Christian conduct (1 Timothy 4:12).
VICTORIOUS THROUGH PERSONAL CONVICTIONS When God’s people become very prayerful and intimately know their Lord they will always receive convictions from the Spirit of God on their own. For the anointed which we have received by the Spirit teaches us all things (1 John 2:27).“The anointing that you received from Him abides in you, and you have no need that anyone should teach you. But just as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things and is true and is no lie, and just as it has taught you, you shall abide in Him.” 1 John 2:27
VICTORIOUS THROUGH THE GREAT COMMISSION: “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation (Mark 16:15).” We shall truly obey the great commission by preparing and sending forth members into surrounding communities. We shall further labor to send out ministers and Christian workers throughout the United States and the world. This local Church as a true expression of the body of Christ shall unselfishly send out daughter works from those who have become true disciples in this local church. We shall constantly pray for the development of leaders and Christian workers to be trained and equipped to go out into other cities, communities, and into foreign nations to share the true gospel of Jesus throughout the world.
VICTORIOUS THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE BODY: We shall endeavor to love every single brother and sister in Christ regardless of their flaws or failures. We shall practice the scriptural commands to forgive each other and to love each other not just seven times, but 70 x 7 (Matthew 18:22). We shall never seek to destroy those who are wounded among us by publicly embarrassing them or harshly rebuking them in such a way that they never want to come back into the church (Matthew 7:12). All church discipline will be performed in a compassionate, loving, and remedial nature which seeks to restore those who have sinned rather than hurting them for life. We shall further extend this loving attitude towards the entire Universal Body of Christ so that all will know that we are His true disciples (John 13:35). We shall also obey our Lord’s command to love our enemies (Luke 6:35). For if we lack love for each other, how can we ever begin to love our enemies?
