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.

MAINTAIN A GODLY MARRIAGE

-
Judges 13:2-3,6,10 In those days a man named Manoah from the tribe of Dan lived in the town of Zorah. His wife was unable to become pregnant, and they had no children. The angel of the Lord appeared to Manoah’s wife and said, “Even though you have been unable to have children, you will soon become pregnant and give birth to a son. The woman ran and told her husband, “A man of God appeared to me! He looked like one of God’s angels, terrifying to see. I didn’t ask where he was from, and he didn’t tell me his name. So she quickly ran and told her husband, “The man who appeared to me the other day is here again!” We live in times when the institution of marriage is being destroyed from in and out of the church. Divorce rate is high and many are in a marriage but are not happy therein. What is the problem? God has been taken out of the equation. How? Jesus said: Matthew 19:8 Jesus replied, “Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to your hard hearts, but it was not what God had origina

Remember: God is in control.

As we go through the 11th month of this year of accomplishment, let us be reminded. When it seems to hurt so much, or it all looks quiet and alone, when it appears not to work out. Please don't give up, God is still in control Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. My dear it is not about how you feel, and not about what it seems, it is about what He Has promised and He who promised is sure to keep His Word. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the LORD, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Jeremiah 29:12 " Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you." God is in control and His plans for you are good. He has already done it. Romans 4:21 " and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform." Have a

NEEDLESS BATTLES

-
Judges 12:1-4 Then the people of Ephraim mobilized an army and crossed over the Jordan River to Zaphon. They sent this message to Jephthah: “Why didn’t you call for us to help you fight against the Ammonites? We are going to burn down your house with you in it!” Jephthah replied, “I summoned you at the beginning of the dispute, but you refused to come! You failed to help us in our struggle against Ammon. So when I realized you weren’t coming, I risked my life and went to battle without you, and the Lord gave me victory over the Ammonites. So why have you now come to fight me?” The people of Ephraim responded, “You men of Gilead are nothing more than fugitives from Ephraim and Manasseh.” So Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and attacked the men of Ephraim and defeated them. When the Lord does not lead you, you become prone to minding and walking with unnecessary things, like fighting unnecessary battles and stirring evil sentiments. I have always said that devices like racism, tri
