TOPIC: WINNING IS GOD'S WILL.
In
order to be an achiever. In order to be whom God purpose of you in life. In
order to live life in its fullness, you must know what is the will of God for
you. It's been a lot of argument amongst many believer whether it's God's will
to live in sickness or health. Whether it's God's will to experience prosperity
or poverty. Whether it is His will to fail or win in life. What we make out of
life as believers is fully attached to knowing what the will of God is.
John
chapter 15 verse 7 says "If you
abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it
shall be done for you." the old King James version "ye shall ask what you will."
the will of God is His word. It is clear from this reference that you can have
your desire fulfilled in prayer when you do two things: 1. Abide in Christ; 2.
Have His Word abide in you.
"And behold, a leper came and
worshipped Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me
clean," then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am
willing; be cleansed," Immediately his leprosy was cleansed." Matthew 8:2, 3. A leper came to Jesus and was in doubt
whether it was God's will for him to stay in that deadly disease or to be free
of it and Jesus said it was His will to heal him and totally set him free of
it. He touched him and he was immediately cleansed.
God's
will for you is health. God's will for you is prosperity. God's will for you is
winning in life. His will is success and victory. the devil has stolen a lot
out of the church through ignorance but all that he has stolen the Lord is
restoring to the church. The more the Church knows the better she is. The devil
knows this and he wants to perpetually keep you ignorant of your rightful
position in Christ Jesus. It’s time you say no to the devil in all his tricks
on you and say yes to God’s Word.
The
devil has no new weapon or trick he is using against mankind. He has always
been using ignorance, "has God
said." That is the word he used to steal dominion from Adam and Eve.
He tried that as well on Jesus," if
you be the son of God" meaning to disown Him of His sonship. He is
simply telling Jesus to do something to prove He is sure is God's son. This is
simply is to make Him doubt His sonship and nullify His purpose of coming to
the earth.
How
often he has come to you to ask if you are truly born again. Or "if truly
you are born again, why then are you not feeling like it?" Your salvation
is by faith and not by sight. 2Corinthians 5 verse 7 says "for we walk by faith, not by sight." If you want to feel
before you can believe that you have received you will never have it.
"Now Thomas, called the Twin, one
of the twelve, was not with them when Jesus came. The other disciples therefore
said to him, "we have seen the lord." So he said to them,
"Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails and put my hand on His
side, I will not believe. And after eight days His disciples were again inside,
and Thomas with them. Jesus came, and doors being shut, and stood in the midst
and said "Peace to you" Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your
finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My
side, Do not be unbelieving but believing." And Thomas answered and said
to Him, "My Lord and my God!" Jesus said to him, Thomas, because you
have seen Me, you have believed, Blessed are those who have not seen and yet
have believed." John 20:24-29.
When
Thomas saw he believed, the Lord Jesus said to him, "blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." Your
sight will fail you. Your sight will tell you why it is not possible. When your
focus is on the Word you know it God and God alone that can do it and He will
do it.
Your
winning in life is attached to knowing what the will of God is. You have got to
know what God's word says for every aspect of your life. What God's word says
concerning your home, your job, your business, your finance, your health. What
will keep you standing in the time of adversity is the amount of God's word
that you know and that you do. Jesus says,
"And you shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free."
John 8:32. Know is ginosko in Greek, meaning to perceive, understand,
recognize, gain knowledge, realize, come to know. It is the knowledge that you
have that has an inception, a progress, and an attainment. It is what you know
in life that gives you an edge over your competitors in your field of
operation.
When
you know, you will do and it is the doing that leads into freedom from whatever
situation the truth is applied to. We see in the book of Revelation reverence
to He that overcomes" several times. God is not interested in your loosing
but your winning. “For whatever is born
of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world
- our faith. Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus
is the son of God?" I John 5:4.
This
reference is clearly making us to see that if you are born again you are an
overcomer. It goes as far as saying " Whatever" meaning anything
which means if my writing pen is born of God it will overcome. This is to say
trying situation and circumstances will come our way but by our faith we shall
overcome them.
"Yet in all these things we are
more than conquerors through Him who loved us." Romans 8:37. The word "more than conquerors"
describes one who is super victorious, who wins more than an ordinary victory,
but who is overpowering in achieving abundant victory. That is what God desires
of you.
