Absolutely Victorious In Christ
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory
through our Lord Jesus Christ
(1 Corinthians 15:57)
The scriptures are replete with information that
let us know that God has given us an absolutely
victorious life. 1 John 5:4 says, “For whatsoever is
born of God overcometh the world: and this is the
victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
2 Corinthians 2:14 emphasizes the great, notable and
consistent victories we have in Christ: “Now thanks
be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph
in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his
knowledge by us in every place.”
Refuse to accept anything short of a life of glory
and success in Christ Jesus, for that’s your heritage as
a child of God. Jesus died for you, and it wasn’t for
nothing. To keep cringing, bawling, wailing, crying or
begging through life, after His death, and triumphant
resurrection on your behalf, is to make the cross of
Christ of none effect.
Jesus shed His blood for you; and since He’s
already done it, all you need do is enjoy the triumphant
life. This is the grace of God. When He hung on the
cross, God saw you hanging on that cross; you died
in Him, and rose up triumphantly from the grave with
Him. Therefore, you have legal rights to righteousness,
divine health, a sound and excellent mind, and an
extraordinary life, because of what Christ has done
for you.
2 Peter 1:3 says, “According as his divine power
hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and
godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath
called us to glory and virtue.” The life He’s given us
is one of glory and excellence, far removed from the
sufferings and reproaches of this world. Why should
anyone know this and live as a victim in life? Refuse
to be poor or ordinary.
The world may be facing economic hardship, but
we live the higher life. Job 22:29 says, “When men are
cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up….”
There’s lifting power in you; power to rise over and
above the crises of life. That power is Christ in you!
Through Him, and in Him, we’ve been made eternally
victorious.
Confession
I’m eternally victorious in Christ. I have power over crises;
I’m prospering exceedingly, manifesting the righteousness
and dominion of Christ everywhere. I live above, and far
beyond the distracting elements of this world, because I live
in Christ! Blessed be God!
