You’ve Already Won
Ephesians 2:8, “For by grace are ye save through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God.”
Salutations! Welcome to another blessed day and may we only have positivity all through this day. Do you already have your plans for the day, the schedule complete and ready? Have you given a thought to who will be with you as you start this day? Do you ponder on how you have won many victories and then some you didn’t realize God brought you through? Can we understand that we can fight from victory, not for it? We as believers must understand that Jesus hung on a cross and paid the ultimate price that secures our victory in all things. When you focus on the fact that God has you, now and forever, the accomplishments you can achieve are endless! If you want to succeed in being all that God called you to be place your trust in the one who already won. When we endure struggles in this journey of life, we will find that they are just temporary. Take them as just one more challenge that the devil thinks can pull you away from God! Start now and approach anything you find in your path with confidence; Paul said it in Romans, “we are more than conquerors”, that we are the children of God in whom comes our strength, help, hope, victory! When we choose faith over adversity, we have given God the reins to guide us through until the end. Therefore, born-again believers are always going to be victors, living without fear, and filled with the security that our journey is already laid out and promised! There will be times that you doubt, that you lose on some things; but, God is using that one failure to create an even bigger victory. Placing our faith, trust and hope in what Christ already died for and promises us, is worth every challenge, worth every obstacle, worth every battle! Keep standing up for what God has promised; keep telling the story of His victory for us; reach out to others by living Christ-like lives. As you fight to live Godly, someone is watching you succeed and will want to get into the army of God; just because they see the victory in you! Trust the one who has won every victory and see just how much you’ve already won!
