HE HAS GIVEN US VICTORY

-

1Corinthians 15:57

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.


We cannot over-emphasize the role of the soul of man, for from the beginning the battle has always been for the soul of man. The soul of man although belonging to God was ours because God made us in His image we had the right of choice.


Who really is in control?


Remember how it all started. Genesis 1 - 3.


Just like we have the right to do anything we want to do in our birth country. However, when you offend you face judgement either to imprisonment, death or both and sometimes you pay a fine.


The sin of the first man sentenced all from his loins to death.


Romans 3:23

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,


Romans 6:23

 For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.


God who loved us so much sent redemption to us by coming in human form, His body, Jesus the Christ to pay our fine and receive our sentence of death. He suffered, died and then arose setting us free. Thus, giving us victory over sin and death.


Colossians 2:9

For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily;


Romans 5:15

But the free gift is not like the offense. For if by the one man's offense many died, much more the grace of God and the gift by the grace of the one Man, Jesus Christ, abounded to many.


For if you have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour, you have victory, you have overcome the world and this is by Faith.


1John 5:5

Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?


1John 5:4

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.


This victory is total, it has conquered


* sickness

* sin

* poverty

* death

* fear

* hell

* condemnation


We enjoy full access and fellowship with God.


So let us rejoice in that victory which we have in Jesus the Christ who lives forevermore.


Worries would come but instead of dwelling on them, let us dwell in our victory.


Jesus said:


Luke 12:25

Can all your worries add a single moment to your life?


The answer is NO. So, let us bask in the victory He has given us. We are victorious. Glory to God.


He calls us blessed.


Love

@ the watcher.

DO YOU STILL SEE?

Habakkuk 2:3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; but at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, it will not tarry. It may have been easy when we first believed, to visualize the promises. We reach out with zeal, loving God, seeking to do exploits. That was when we first believed, just as Jesus said: John 3:3 Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." When we become born again we see God's kingdom, our spirit man is reborn and we count the flesh as nothing. Then time passes by, we are in the world, all its distractions, temptations, responsibilities, challenges and so on begin to reveal themselves. The question then is: * Can we still see heaven? John 3:3 * Are we still zealous? John 2:17 * Are we continuing in those things? Acts 2:42 * Are we walking in love? 1John 4:7 or Has the cares and worries of life and service ta

DO UNTO OTHERS . . .

-
Matthew 7:12 "Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. It is hypocritical of us to expect people to stand with us when we are experiencing challenges yet when we see others face their own challenges, we begin to imagine what they must have done wrong or maybe they annoyed God or did one evil or the other instead of reaching out to help as we would desire others to do for us. The same thing goes for prosperity, when the Lord opens a door for us and we have abundance of wealth or a breakthrough we expect others to rejoice with us, more so, some would even find it hard to give to others. What is our reaction when someone else gets this breakthrough, do we get suddenly suspicious without reason. Do we expect the person to reach out to us? It is better to stay on the side of encouragement than to sit as a judge or prosecutor. Jesus said, Matthew 7:2 "For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the same

MY YEAR OF FULFILMENT

-
Psalms 57:2 I cry out to God Most High, to God who will fulfill his purpose for me. We just finished the book of 1Samuel, in this book we see the cry of Israel for a king and how God raised Saul to rule them. We also saw how Saul disobeyed God and lost kingship for himself and his generation. He did not stop there, he went on to seek for the death of David, whom he saw as the next heir of the throne. In chapter 31, the last chapter, we see how Saul and all his sons and men were killed, it was tragic, however it was as a sign of relief for David. We could go on counting all the struggles and difficulties we faced in the past year. No, we should not, we should begin to look at all the positives, remembering all the good things God has done for us. If He promised it, He will do it and that is what we hold onto as we go through this year. Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold tightly without wavering to the hope we affirm, for God can be trusted to keep his promise. This is the year of fulfilment, and
