(1 John 5:4)…..For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world — our faith.
We all love to win. Victory is so sweet. I don’t know about you but I love to win, I like to compete, and I don’t like second place. One reason victory it’s so sweet is that it’s usually not easy. Victory takes effort – often great effort. Effort is also required in the spiritual battle we face against our enemies (world, the flesh, and the devil – (James 4:4) (1 John 2:15-17). But the effort required of us is to maintain our attitude of faith in God and His Word. We cannot overcome the strategies of the devil by our willpower, or by our own strength. We must use the spiritual weapons God has provided for us.
As a child of God, the victory is already yours through what Jesus Christ did on your behalf. Don’t let
the enemy steal the victory away from you. Your enemy comes to steal your faith – (John 10:10). Don’t let it happen. Rather live in the latter part of the verse, “but I come to give to you life, and to give it more abundantly. Today, as believers in Christ, walk in the abundance you have been given.
