The Victory
YOU can know victory in your life. 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
There is a victory that we can know.
We have to…
1. BE BORN OF GOD
We have to be born again. It is then that we become a child of God.
John 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
2. BE A BATTLER WITH THE WORLD
God says that they who are Born of God are Overcomers.
1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
James 4:4
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.
We are waging war against a system that is anti-god.
It is godless.
It hates the truth.
It hates the Gospel.
The world should be dead to us. We should be dead to the world. No more love for it. No more attachment to it.
Dare to stand against the world. Don’t be a conformist.
3. BE A BELIEVER
Believe God. Trust God.
1 John 5:5
Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Know the Lord.
Trust in God. Take a hold of His hand, by faith.
Faith is the victory that overcomes the world.
Doubt and unbelief just brings defeat. That’s where the devil wants you to be.
And to stay.
God's Word is jam-packed with the stories of heroes of faith. Real men and women of God who took a stand and believed God and His promises.
Abraham - ""the friend of God"" followed the Lord, even when he didn't know where he was going. When his faith was tested he even went to the point where he would have even sacrificed Isaac, his son.
Moses, the man of faith who turned his back on Egypt and all its treasures and pleasures, and chose instead the afflictions of the people of God. By faith he led Israel out of Egypt to the promised land.
See the faith of Joshua. He crossed over the Jordan on dry ground. He circled Jericho for seven days and the walls fell down.
By faith Enoch walked with God. He had this testimony, that he pleased God.
By faith Joseph saw God deliver him, time and time again, through tremendous trials.
By faith Noah built an ark to the saving of his house.
By faith Rahab the harlot believed God. We know her now as a woman of faith, despite where she used to be.
By faith Samson was a one man army against the Philistines. He failed, but he got ultimate victory.
The Bible is filled with life after life of the victory of faith. Of faithfulness.
See Elijah. He stood and confronted the king over his sin. Elijah was subject to like passions as we are, but he had faith. He prayed, and the heavens were locked up. He prayed again, and the rain came.
Daniel's faith held strong in a heathen land. He was strong in the Lord, in faith, in prayer. When he was older he stood firmly to take a message of judgment to the king.
Be men and women of faith. Victory will come.
The good news is that Christ has already defeated Satan for us!
1 John 4:4
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.
Since Christ is our Saviour and we belong to Him, we share in His victory over satan. The Lord Jesus has set us free from Satan's power.
God wants us to have victory in our lives. As we learn to trust and obey the Lord Jesus who lives in us, the more we will be able to say ""No!"" to the world, the flesh, and the devil.
Faith is the way to victory over the world, the flesh and the devil.
Believer, you can know victory after victory. Victory after defeat.
By faith you can rise up and stand and know victory even after you have failed.
1 Corinthians 15:57
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
