Go Forth And Win
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world (1 John 4:4 NKJV). This natural world is under a curse, and has all the negativities of the evil one infested in it.
So, being born again, the world will come at you, mentally, physically, emotionally, and even spiritually. But what did Jesus say? “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).
The Master overcame the world on your behalf, which means you’ve overcome the world. And the Apostle Paul says, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places…Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked” (Ephesians 6:12-16).
Therefore, irrespective of the evil, darkness, and negativism in this, you must think differently. Be unperturbed, because you’re in Christ, and in Him you always win. Nothing can be set against you. In your journey of faith, and in fulfilling God’s plan for your life, don’t entertain thoughts of fear, lack or unbelief. Put away anger, bitterness, and unforgiveness. These are the things that can hinder your spiritual progress and the call of God on your life.
Keep your heart in God’s Word. 1 Timothy 4:15-16 says to meditate on and give yourself wholly to the Word, and your victories and success in every endeavour will be inevitable.
PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you, for you’re the one at work in me, both to will and to do of your good pleasure. I refuse to be deterred by the world and its crippling forces, knowing whom I’ve believed, and the one at work in me. I’ve overcome the world and its systems, soaring on the wings of the Spirit, and fulfilling my destiny in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
