ATTAINING GOOD SUCCESS I
Memorise:
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. .. John 14:23
Read:
Romans 8:31-39
Message
When God's children have to fight through obstacles and challenges, they often have scars from the battles before they finally receive their trophies. There is, however, a better way for children of God to succeed, and this is winning without a fight, as we see in Romans 8:37, which says that we are more than conquerors simply because God loves us. I will discuss this today in continuation of the series I started two days ago.
When God loves a person specially, He makes them more than conquerors, meaning that they enjoy victories without fighting. Imagine a scenario where a boxer fights hard to win a championship belt, then hands it over to his wife along with all the proceeds from the boxing match. In such an instance, the wife won the boxing championship without even fighting. I pray that the Almighty God will give you victories without fights, in Jesus' name.
Some people say that God loves everyone equally, but this is not really true. Jesus had twelve disciples, but some were closer to Him than others. You will recall how Jesus took only Peter, James, and John with Him to the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17:1-3). Those three disciples were clearly closer to Jesus than the others. However, one of them, John, was even much closer to Him. For example, when Jesus was asked to reveal the identity of the person who would betray Him, He didn't give a direct answer until John asked Him (John 13:21-26).
Beloved, there's a secret I want to share with you on how to make God love you specially. Jesus said, in John 14:23, that if you love Him, you will keep His word, and His Father will love you so much that He will make His abode in you. This is a special kind of love that He has reserved only for those who obey all His commands. When you live your life according to His will, God will fight your battles for you, and no one can be against you (Romans 8:31). Your life will be filled with experiences that demonstrate God's special love for you. Even when it seems as if destruction is looming, one way or the other, God will manoeuvre things to your favour and even promote you (Daniel 3:8-30).
Beloved, loving God by keeping His word is your guarantee to attaining good success and experiencing victory without a fight.
Bible In One Year:
Joshua 18-20
Hymn:
Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We
Reflection:
Do you keep all God's commands?
Conquerors and overcomers now are we
Conquerors are we, through the blood of Jesus,
God will give us victory, through the blood of Jesus,
Thro' the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we.
