You’re A Victor In Christ Jesus
And we know that all things work together for good
to them that love God, to them who are the called
according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).
No Christian should be a victim of
circumstances. That you lost your job,
business, and everything you once had shouldn’t make
you a victim. That you went through terrible ordeals
because your parents abandoned you while you
were young shouldn’t be an excuse for you to live as
a victim. Face life’s circumstances head-on, with the
smile of a victor and the attitude of a king, because
greater is He that’s in you, than all the troubles in the
world.
The Word of God, a law of the Spirit, has been
promulgated to that effect; it says, “And we know
that all things work together for good to them that
love God, to them who are the called according to
his purpose” (Romans 8:28). This isn’t addressed to
everybody in the world, but to those that love God—the
new creation—they’re the ones for whom this will work.
Everything in life has been programmed to work in
your favour. There isn’t anything that could happen
in this earth to your disadvantage.
A Christian can only be defeated by his own
choice, permission, or ignorance. God said my people
are destroyed for the lack of knowledge. We’re so
blessed of God that even in the face of our own
mistakes and errors, He doesn’t blame us. He always
has a way out. He’s wisdom personified. When you’re
in any predicament, even if self-inflicted, right there in
that trouble, in humility, say, “Lord, how do I get out?”
“What do I do?” and in love, receive His guidance.
He’ll answer you faster than you would imagine.
His love for us is what compels Him to relate with us
that way. Therefore, no matter what happens to or with
you, refuse to be a victim or be intimidated; you’re a
victor in Christ Jesus. Live as one.
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the comfort of the scriptures.
I’m a victor for life. All things are working together for my good,
because I love you, and I’m called according to your purpose.
I face life’s circumstances headon, with the smile of a victor,
knowing that nothing can stand against me successfully, because
the greater One lives in me! Your wisdom works in me to know
what to do at all times, in Jesus’Name. Amen.
