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).
There’s a higher life in Christ—a spiritual life to which we’ve been called, as Christians. We’re not ordinary. We were made to look like God, and to function like Him. We’ve been built with possibilities within our system. We‘re not in this world as victims; we were born victorious. Continue...
In Genesis,
when God made man, the Bible says He gave him dominion over all things (Genesis
1:28). He gave us a life that’s superior, not only to the circumstances of life
and the forces of nature, but also to spiritual beings of evil—Satan and his
cohorts. Why then do some Christians still live as ordinary men, instead of
living victoriously every day? The reason is their ignorance of the Word:
"They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness….I
have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High"
(Psalm 82:5-6).
Thanks be
unto God. Jesus said, "And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall
make you free" (John 8:32). The truth is, now that you’re born again, now
that you’re in Christ, you’re a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). Whereas you
were defeated and lived as a victim before you came to Christ, all that is
history now. Today, with Christ alive in you, nothing can put you down; you’re
a victor for life!
It doesn’t
matter what your experience in life has been; it doesn’t matter how long you
might have suffered or been in darkness; light has come to you now. Truth has
been unveiled: the truth about what God has done for you, in you, and with you
in Christ Jesus. Get to know who you are in Him.
Study,
meditate on, and keep proclaiming, the Word, because the Word of God unveils
our victorious life in Christ. You were born a victor. You were born to have
dominion. You were born to live the superior life, and live triumphantly every
day.
Confession:
Dear
Father, I thank you for giving me a life that’s superior to Satan, the
circumstances of life, the economic conditions of this world and other problems
that ruin people’s lives. I was born to have dominion, and to live a superior
life, because the greater One lives in me. I’m a victor in Christ Jesus, now
and always. Halleluiah!

Study:
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.
Luke10:19 -
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all
the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.
