Wisdom For The Day Devotional 23 May 2024 By Bishop Mike Okonkwo – You Already Have The Victory
TOPIC: You Already Have The Victory (TREM Devotional 23 May 2024)
“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:4-5 (KJV)
MESSAGE:
In Christ, we have eternal redemption and eternal life. In Christ, we have the boldness to come before the Father, knowing we cannot be denied. By reason of the finished work on the cross, you cannot be defeated. You already have the victory. God has gone ahead of you to dismantle the forces of darkness. Everything that the Lord has predetermined for you shall manifest.
In Christ, you are created for better things. “But, beloved, we are confident of better things concerning you, yes, things that accompany salvation…” Hebrews 6:9 (NKJV). There are things that come with salvation. A life of victory is one of them. In Christ, you win all the time. You already have victory over anything the devil throws at you. You must understand that salvation is not limited to your deliverance from sin or hell.
The word Salvation must not be reduced to a religious word. It is a robust word that includes deliverance from every form of evil. As a believer, you must never tolerate poverty, lack, sickness, disease, depression, fear, setback, failure, disappointment, and disgrace. In Christ, you already have total victory over anything that is called evil.
The devil will not take what belongs to you. The womb of wickedness will never conceive against your life. Only good news will come from your camp. You will not miss the opportunities that God has lined up on your pathway. The results in your life will not mock your efforts.
