Victory Assured
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me
ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have
tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome
the world (John 16:33).
How comforting and encouraging the words of
Jesus in our opening text! The Master knew
all about the world and its corrupt systems designed
to cause frustration, misery, and failure, but assured us
of victory. He said, “These things I have spoken unto
you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer I have
overcome the world.”
The road to success could be bumpy, with intense
trials, challenges, and persecutions, but your victory is
assured. 2 Timothy 3:12 says, “Yea, and all that will
live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.” But
that’s not the end; 1 John 4:4 says, “Ye are of God,
little children, and have overcome them: because
greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the
world.” So, you see, it doesn’t matter the challenges
you face, or the strength of your persecutors; you’ve
already overcome them all.
In Christ, we have peace over crises, peace in the
face of adversity. That’s why He said, “These things
I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have
peace…“ (John 16:33). All the Lord wants is that you
keep your focus on Him, on His Word. In Him is every
good thing you could ever need: life, health, joy, peace,
victory, and glory forevermore! He wants you to live
to your best potentials, and for your joy to be full!
Victory is your birthright, for He has raised you,
and made you to sit together with Christ in heavenly
places (Ephesians 2:6), far above Satan and his cohorts
of darkness, and the negative influences of this
world (Ephesians 1:21). Therefore, walk in the light
of your victory; dominate this world and reign over
circumstances.
Confession
I live and walk in victory every day because I’m born of God.
I declare that I’m reigning as a king in life in all circumstances
in my world, through the Word and the power of the Holy Ghost
at work in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
