VICTORY HERITAGE 1 John 5:5-6
Devotional:- “Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?” (V. 5)
To all children of God, there is a heritage of victory in Christ Jesus. Victory is part of what Christ has provided for us in our redemptive package. This victory was gained by Christ on the cross. His death and resurrection is for all who believes in Him. As long as you accept Jesus as your Lord and Saviour, you are entitled to victory.
The word of God says; whatever is born of God overcomes. The word whatever is referring to living and non living things. To be born of God means to proceed from God. Whatever proceeds from God will overcome, as long as we can stand in faith. To overcome means to prevail over the opponent. It means to overpower the opponent.
As children of God, we are not to fight physically. The battle was finished on the cross (John 19:30). The victory has been given to all who will believe. That is why you will overcome at last. To enforce and claim łhis victory now has to be by faith. This is faith in the finished work of the cross. Remember, all powers in heaven and earth has being given to Jesus (Matthew 28:18). So to overcome, change your mind by accepting that you have Victory through Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57). Then open your mouth to keep declaring it (Job 22:28). And you will see your victory. Peace.
PRAYER: Lord, strengthen me in faith for my victory
“BY FAITH IN CHRIST, ALL POWER CAN BOW TO YOU”
