A Christian life is a life of constant war. But it’s not a physical fight, it’s a fight of faith. Know that as the Christian race is an individual race, it’s also a life of individual battle. It’s a must that the enemy rear his head and we must build our faith to resist him steadfastly.
Faith is an empty barrel without the Word – Dr. David Oyedepo
Romans 4:21 — The spoken or the written Word is the substance of our Faith while faith is the substance of our expectations. We must step up our insights to strengthen our Faith.
- Know that you are engaged in spiritual warfare. A victor only emerges from a battle, fight or competition. There will be no need for victory without battles. You must have ruthless determination to become a triumphant.
- Failure and defeat are earthly and they are not in the Heavenly places. The devil is the author of failure because he wanted to dethrone God and failed, that was the day failure was born and it’s inherent with the devil and his cohorts.You are not permitted to be defeated.
- In any battle, always acknowledge that you are the winner no matter how hard the battle is. This is because you have a guaranteed victory from God. The Bible says ” many are the afflictions of the righteous but the LORD delivers him out OF THEM ALL. So you are to have as many victories according to how many battles you have. You are not meant to lose any.
- Be conscious of the God kind of life (Eternal Life) in you. That life does not know defeat because God can never be defeated. It’s the seed of God in you. You must recognize and enforce the truth that Jesus took your place in every evil in this world. Evil like sin, sickness, poverty and death. When He said “Its Finished”, all these evils are ended in your life. You might be born again but you must enforce this truth by resisting the devil steadfastly in the Faith.
- You can only become an overcomer through Faith. For this is the victory that overcomes the world, even our faith. Know that it’s only the righteous and He that does righteousness is born of God (1 John 2 verse 29/15-17). This means without abiding in righteousness, you can not claim to be born of God and it’s only those who are born of God that will overcome the world. Righteousness is the will of God and it’s the only way to destroy the lust of the World.
Be blessed
