Believers are winners at all times now and in the future for the reason that we are always on God’s side, and the Battle is never ours! About life challenges and enemy various attacks, God is with you, my friend. Winning at all times is synonymous with receiving divine breakthroughs. It is one of the powerful gifts that God granted us in Christ Jesus. In the physical, you must position yourself for a breakthrough. In other words, you must learn…
*1.* “For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God. For the Lord is righteous; he loves righteous deeds; the upright shall behold his face.” *2* “But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. And be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which…
Here it is, hungry for God’s Word: “What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us.” (1 Corinthians 2:12, NIV). When Christ Jesus comes into believers’ hearts, the veils are off! Therefore, how can you tell the saved from the lost? Fundamentally, the saved are always hungry for God’s Word and Righteousness. Functionally, this is the seventh evidence of genuine…
Here it is, a thirst for righteousness: “As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God.” (Psalm 42:1, ESV). Believers must long for complete termination of sin and any associated awful harvest. The conviction of sin, righteousness, and judgment characterise the move of the Holy Spirit in a believer’s life. In salvation, the Holy Spirit takes up His residence within a believer’s life as God’s child; in turn, the Holy Spirit causes believers to…
*1.* “Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.” *2* “Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath,…
Here it is, fixing our eyes on Jesus: “Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us. Keep your eyes on Jesus, our leader and instructor. He was willing…
Here it is, more like Jesus: “Yes, we live under constant danger of death because we serve Jesus, so that the life of Jesus will be evident in our dying bodies.” (2 Corinthians 4:11, NLT). When we stand before Christ Jesus, one second in eternity will cancel all care or thought of anything except whether or not we allowed the situations of life to make us more like Jesus Christ. That’s it!!!
*1.* “Instead of your shame there shall be a double portion; instead of dishonor they shall rejoice in their lot; therefore in their land they shall possess a double portion; they shall have everlasting joy.” *2* “But the Lord God helps me; therefore I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like a flint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our…
The new you dwell on receiving double-portion for all the shame is reversed! Here it is: “Instead of your shame, you will receive a double portion, and instead of disgrace, you will rejoice in your inheritance. And so you will inherit a double portion in your land, and everlasting joy will be yours.” (Isaiah 61:7, NIV). It would help if you did not let negative events, delinquency, failure, disappointment, addiction, divorce, bankruptcy, and other guilt become your identity. That’s what…
Surely, God forgive you for past mistakes and failures, and you must acknowledge and run with this knowledge that God has forgiven you. But where does this sense of unworthiness comes from, as though you don’t deserve it? It’s a chain of shame, and that shame has held you back long enough. The strongholds have been broken. Yes, “The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”…
