Born to Win!
Born to Win!
In spite of all the significant occurrences of the past decade, all the uncertainty, calamity, and adversity, for example, Y2K, crumbling governments, worldwide economic crisis, wars and terrorism – the world has survived, but the people of God have overcome. God knows we need new beginnings. That’s why we wake up to a fresh start each day.
Romans 8:37-- “Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.”
This is good news! A conqueror is the last one standing, but one who is “more than a conqueror” is the one who holds all the spoils! You’d better be clear where you stand when adversity strikes and set your focus straight like never before. All your thoughts, words and actions need to line up with this truth.
1. Jesus tells us about the troubles in the world, so we won’t be scared.
Fear comes as an indication of a void, emptiness, or that something isn’t quite right.
John 16:33 -- “These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulations, but be of good cheer. I have overcome the world.”
The word “but” is bold to separate the above verse into two. Jesus guaranteed that we would face trials. BUT is on one side where there is fear, but on the other side of BUT is victory.
2. Be brave in every situation.
Jesus tells us in John 16:33 that He has deprived the world and any trial or tribulation of the power to harm us, therefore we are to be brave and courageous in every situation we face. Romans 8:37 ought to give us courage. You’re not fighting your battles alone. God has gone through everything first.
James 1:2-4 – “My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.”
Why are you wearing fear on your face? Courage is not the absence of fear; it is walking through in spite of it! When you choose to be in Christ, you show the world the way out. Know by faith that in the problem your faith will produce so thoroughly that you will be complete, lacking nothing.
1 John 3:8 – “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested that He might destroy (break up, dissolve, melt or put off) the works of the devil.”
3. Our confidence comes from knowing that we win!
Failure is what you pass on the way to success. Don’t let fear be a stop post.
1 John 5:1, 4 – “Whoever believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God… For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world – our faith.”
Micah 7:8 – “Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; when I fall, I will arise.”
Proverb 24:16 – “For a righteous man may fall seven times and rise again, but the wicked shall fall by calamity.”
Start declaring that you can take on ANYTHING the enemy dishes out. The battle is not yours! All you need is a will to rise. When you are in Christ, He gives you the will to get up!
