SUBMIT TO HIM

  SUBMIT TO HIM John 14:12-24  “Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him.” (V. 23) NKJV   Sometimes on the platform of love, there is nothing men cannot offer to one another. If you truly love a man you will not want to reject or disobey him. You will want to do as much as it is in your capacity. You will not want to turn him down. Can you imagine how strictly you want to keep to an appointment with a loved one? If we have attached so much importance to responding to our lover, how much more God. If you truly love God it will be natural for you to submit to His will. You will not need to argue or ask too many questions. It will be a pleasure submitting to His will. Jesus said in the scripture we read today, if anyone loves me he will keep my words. In other word he will submit or obey my word.

CHILDREN OF VICTORY

CHILDREN OF VICTORY

1 John 5:1-5 
For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. (V. 4) 

    Everyone born of God i.e. born again is born into victory. That is the reason your victory is an inheritance. Jesus has fought and won for you, all that remain is that you take your place as a child of victory.

God who made the heaven and the earth created man to govern the earth for Him. That is why He commanded us at creation to take charge of the earth (Genesis 1:28). Your opponent is the devil and his host. God knows that the devil is the deceiver that is why he’s able to deceive Adam and Eve to sin against God and make them lose their estate. God knows someone born of man needs to fight and win and then give us victory. The is the word of God (Genesis 3:15). That is why He sent Jesus to undertake this task (1 John 3:8). Jesus defeated the forces of the devil and we are born again into this victory (1 John 5:4).

Friend, the reality of our victory is in Christ Jesus. That is why each of us will need to take responsibility by faith to challenge the forces against us. Don’t give in to defeat; as a child of God, your family is destined to overcome; your business will bounce back, your ministry is ordained to win. Don’t stay defeated, your victory is perfected, take strength from the word and win.

Prayer: Lord as a child of victory I refused to be defeated.

‘You are born again to win, arise and take your place’.
