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.
