Yesterday I was privileged to minister a message for our church's Youth Sunday. I spoke on how we can choose to just be a Winner, or we can upgrade to Champion status.
As Christians, our faith in God has automatically granted us the name of a Winner through Christ's death and resurrection. We don't have to fear death because we know that we will live eternally with Christ.
However, a lot of us miss out on the chance to be victorious in every situation, not just our spiritual redemption.
A Champion is one who has overcome every opponent. They are undefeated. Every challenge they have faced, they have won. Every winner can't say that they're a Champion.
As believers, God has promised us that we can be Champions too! 1 John 5:4 states: For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. If you have been born of God, you can overcome the world!
Yet, so many times we let situations and circumstances tell us that we are going to lose. We believe the lie of the enemy and give up the fight - or, even worse, we do not fight at all. We settle to just be winners over those things that we believe we can do when we can be Champions over it all.
Don't let the world talk you out of your fight. Ignore the circumstances that tell you that you don't have the strength, the money, the connections, the health... whatever it is that they say you need. You have everything you need in Christ Jesus!
Greater is He that is in you than the he that is in the world! (1 John 4:4) And the He that is in you has told you that you can overcome the world!
So, don't choose to lose! Stand and fight. Keep pressing. Keep believing. Keep your faith strong. In the end: YOU WIN! You are a CHAMPION!
Verse of the Day: But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Corinthians 15:57
