Greatness lives in you!

 1 John 4:4

But you belong to God, my dear children. You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.

This is good news! God says you have already won a victory over that situation, no matter what it is. You being a child of God, you have victory, this is the victory that Jesus secured for us from the cross. A while back, I heard our Pastor saying that as children of God, we don't fight for victory, but we fight from victory! This means, we fight knowing that we have already won, it's just a matter of how great or how much. Not a matter of maybe, but surely secured. This is the case right here, where God reminds us that we have the living Holy Spirit in us, who is so great and able to do all things, because that is God. He is able to bring us victory in every situation. His greatness gives us this advantage that no matter the outcome, we have won!

Now, the spirit in the world, may try to destroy, kill and steal from us (according to John 10:10), but we must remember that there is no weapon formed against us that shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). Greatness lives in us and is for us, therefore, we shall overcome. I feel blessed that I live in this generation, where we have the blessing of the Holy Spirit living in and with us. Compared to the days before Jesus resurrected, where you'll only experience God's presence where Jesus was, physically. We are truly privileged that He lives in us, convicting us and showing us the right way, with every step we take. May we never take this gift for granted, it's an honour and a privileged and for that we thank our Heavenly Father for being such a great strategist and orchestrator of everything.

Our King is alive, He sees and hears you...

 1 Peter 3:18 Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but He died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but He was raised to life in the Spirit. The recollection about Jesus, is one of the most powerful  story ever. His life story has impacted humanity so much, we just find ourselves in awe and feeling privileged . Jesus died for us, sinners, in order to bring us safely home, to our Father, how amazing is that! He was born to die for us, in order for us not to perish , but to live an eternal life, in communion with our Father (John 3:16). What is wonderful also, is that in as much they crucified Him and He died, He subsequently rose after three days. This means, our King is alive! We serve a King that is alive and infact through  the Holy Spirit, He lives in us! This gives  us boldness that we are not going through life on our own, but we have the Most High living in us and being there with us even in turbulent  times, just li

By knowing Christ, we get a chance of living a life that is pleasing to the Lord.

 2 Peter 1:3 By His divine power, God has given us everything we need for living a Godly life. We have received all of this by coming to know Him, the one who called us to Himself by means of His marvelous glory and excellence. By coming to know Christ, learning about Him in the word, we now have the ability to live a Godly life. This means by God's divine power, He has equipped us with the relevant information and teachings, on how we are to live our lives. The bible tells us that Jesus was sent to be our role model, our example of the things the Lord expects to see in us and to see in our daily walk here on earth. These things allow us to live a life that is acceptable in His eyes. However, God understands that we are not perfect (and we should never pressurize ourselves to be perfect), but with the guidance we have, we know that where we fall short, we can run to the Lord without guilt or shame, knowing that He is our Father who loves us and is willing to help us every step of t

Let us tell of the wonderful things He has done!

 Psalm 9:1 I will praise you, LORD, with all my heart; I will tell of all the marvelous things You have done. And that is called a testimony, telling of the wonderful  things that the Lord has done! With God on our side, we have  an advantage, where we are protected from certain things, where God ochestrates things for us so that they work in our favour (Romans 8:28). He heals us, He provides for us, He opens and closes doors and so much more. Which is why the only two things that we can do to show gratitude for all that He does for us, is first to recognize His role in the whole thing . That in our own strength, we wouldn't have been able to achieve those thigs, gotten favoured or have that opportunity come through. Basically,  giving credit where it is due, and by so doing, we give Him the glory and honour that He deserves. The second thing   that   we  ought to do, is to testify of His goodness in our lives. Us sharing of what we have seen in our lives God doing, can give someon
