You Have the Victory!

This year our church has declared to be our year of victory. We have been praying, preaching, meditating, and singing victory since January.

As Christians, we have been given the victory through Jesus Christ. Many of us claim our victory, but fewer of us obtain our victory. Why? Because victories are only awarded after a fight, and many of us don't fight the good fight to obtain our victory.

We see the issue before us and claim defeat before we step on the battlefield. Or, we enter into the fray only to lose hope after it seems like we will never win. The devil resists us, and we take his resistance as superiority.

Even though we've been promised the victory, the devil is going to do his very best to keep us from getting the victory. He's going to use every weapon he has to discourage us from fighting. He wants to keep us bound, he wants to keep us down, and he wants to keep us from beating him.

We can't forget that the battle is fixed. We can't forget that we've already won. No matter how strongly the devil resists our advances, we have to remember that greater is God on the inside of us over our enemy! (1 John 4:4) We have to remember that we have the Lord of All assisting us in our fight!

Don't just claim victory this year. Don't allow the devil's resistance to keep you from overpowering him. Your God is stronger, wiser, and better than any imp that crosses your path.

You have the victory!

Now, go out there and fight for it.

Verse of the Day: But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord. 1 Corinthians 15:57, 58
