YOU WILL ALWAYS WIN

“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
One of the privileges we enjoy as children of God is that we are always victorious. 2 Corinthians 2:14 says; “Now thanks be unto God who always causes us to triumph in Christ”. We win always. Are you confronted with any challenge? I declare to you that you will emerge a winner in that situation and in every competition of life. The Bible says that sin shall not have dominion over you because you are not under the law but under grace. If you put yourself under the law, you will never overcome. The Bible says in Romans 5:17, “We have received the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness, so we can reign in life”. You are designed to reign in life as a king.
Proverbs 16:10 says, “Divine sentence is in the lips of the king; he does not transgress in judgment”. Therefore, you can sentence the devil out of your life. ‘No weapon fashioned against you shall prosper. Any tongue that shall rise against you is condemned by you. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and your righteousness is of Him.’ (Isaiah 54:17) It is your heritage to open your mouth and say to the devil, ‘shut up.’ It is part of your position to speak as God’s oracle and as a king.
When you know what is written, the devil cannot take you by surprise because ever before he showed up, something had already been documented and God wants you to use same to confront him. Whatever is written is more dependable than whatever you are passing through. ‘While we look not at the things which we see, but at the things we do not see.’ Whatever you see is temporal and subject to change. But the Word of God is permanent and is the final authority in any situation. It is the Word that guarantees your victory at all times. You will win in the competitions of life.
