WISDOM FOR THE DAY DEVOTIONAL

TOPIC: STAND ON YOUR VICTORY
“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He that is in you, than He that is in the world.” – 1 John 4:4 KJV
Child of God, no matter the challenge you are confronted with, be assured that you will have the last laugh. Stop bothering yourself about how the fight will end because the winner of the fight has been determined before the fight began.
So, you are not going to end up as a failure. Your life is like a movie in God’s hand. The conclusion of the movie has been written. They may have arrested you, but you will not end up in the pit because you are coming out of it. That is the beauty of the new creation in Christ.
You are a brand new species of being that has never existed before. We are His workmanship created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in. Whatever your hands are doing will succeed because you have been wired for good works.
You are already an overcomer. In other words, whatever you are going through, you have already overcome. Why? “Because greater is He that is in you, than he that is in the world.” The devil cannot defeat you because you are of a higher order.
So, let this mind be in you, the mind of a winner and that of a successful person. When you wake up in the morning, your mentality should be, this is another new day for God to reveal His glory in my life. You are called for glory, not for shame.
There is no more shame in your life. You are a world overcomer. No matter the challenge that is staring you in the face, say to yourself: I have the victory. You should write your future with your mouth. The devil will want you to close your mouth, but you must refuse to close it. Declare the Word and see it come to pass.
