Victors For Life
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers
temptations (James 1:2).
As you grow in your Christian walk, you’ll
definitely have your fight of faith; it’s a must
for everyone. The Bible calls it a good fight, because
you’re guaranteed to always win. Some people see
the fight of faith differently; they see challenges as
insurmountable difficulties. Every time something
happens, they cry, feeling sorry for themselves. If only
such people knew how much the devil likes to see
them cry, and enjoys their frustration, they’ll never
give him the luxury.
Realise that as a Christian, Christ lives in you; that
makes you a victor for life. The Bible says, “...greater
is he that’s in you, than he that’s in the world” (1
John 4:4). This is a present-hour reality. Romans 8:35-
37 says, “Who shall separate us from the love of
Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution,
or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is
written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we
are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all
these things we are more than conquerors through
him that loved us.”
You’re unconquerable. See challenges as
springboards to your next level of glory. 2 Corinthians
4:16-18 says, “For which cause we faint not; but
though our outward man perish, yet the inward
man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction,
which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far
more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; while
we look not at the things which are seen, but at the
things which are not seen: for the things which are
seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen
are eternal.” That situation, no matter how dire or
frustrating it seems, is a light affliction. That’s how the
Word describes it and that’s how you ought to see
and relate with it.
Learn how to laugh your way through life! No
matter what you’re going through, rejoice, because
it’s a light affliction that’ll certainly produce for you,
a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. It’s
your heritage to be triumphant always, and in every
situation. Hallelujah!
Confession
I refuse to consider the present circumstances on the outward
side of life. I’ve got my focus on the eternal; I’ve got my gaze
on the spiritual. I give attention to the real, not the shadows. I
look within me where God lives, and see the unseen, which is eternal.
