The abundant life – Born into victory! – Monday, 2 October
“Whosoever believeth that Jesus is the Christ is born of God…”
1 John 5:1a KJV
If you believe that Jesus is the Christ (the anointed One – the Messiah) then you are born of God (a part of God’s family).
“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”
1 John 5:4 KJV
“For everyone born of God is victorious and overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has conquered and overcome the world—our [continuing, persistent] faith [in Jesus the Son of God].”
1 John 5:4 AMP
A lot of Christians don’t know who they really are and as a result, they don’t live the victorious Christian life. As a Christian, you don’t fight for victory, you were born again into victory – you’re on the winning team! Even when circumstances seem gloomy, we are victorious and can overcome whatever challenges or attacks come our way.
The key to living in victory and overcoming whatever comes your way is your world-overcoming faith. You might think that you have no faith or little faith, but the truth is that you have world-overcoming faith because you are born of God! Every believer has the measure of faith (Romans 13:3, see King James Version). You have all the faith you need – you don’t need more faith you just need to use what you’ve got.
You are a victor, not a victim. You have world overcoming faith and you’re more than a conqueror. God has set you up to overcome whatever challenge or attack comes your way. Because you are born of God you have His DNA – you’re wired for victory, wired for success, wired to overcome and live in freedom.
Much love,
Shayne
PS. Pieter (one of the GraceLife pastors and a friend of mine) and I had an amazing time away at the pastor’s retreat and leadership conference with Rob & Glenda Rufus in Durban. We also got to attend part of the Revival South Africa conference. We’re certainly refreshed and feel like we’re ready to accelerate even more!
