Exhortation:
From the moment you were about to be conceived in your mother’s womb you had been in serious competition with millions of other individuals that had the same intention of coming into the world like you. However, you won the hot race and here you are victorious!
Every child of God has the seed of victory in him. In his spiritual DNA there is the genetic code of winning. This means every true Christian is wired by the Holy Spirit to be an overcomer. “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4.
Therefore, dust yourself up, stop the self pity and lift your head up in triumph. Don’t wallow in self defeat if you are in Christ. Defeat is for those who have not personally surrendered their hearts to Christ. They have lost in this world and also in eternity. They have lost because Satan their Father is a loser.
He lost his place in Heaven with a third of the angels there. The holy angels fought him with the weapon of the Blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimonies- Revelation 12:11
If you are living in sin, you are living in defeat. The overcomers’ spiritual trademark is righteousness.
In today’s text our Lord Jesus says, “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
Because Jesus has overcome and you are in Christ, you are automatically a winner. Always affirm your victory and you will never know defeat anymore for the rest of your life.
Reflective Nugget: If you are living in sin, you are living in defeat. Why not repent and join the winning side today?
