“Nay, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through him that loved us” Romans8:37.
LIGHT FOR THE
NOW: A new
man in Christ addresses issues of life from a victory point of view and not as
a victim.
When the Bible says that you are
more than conquerors, it is an assurance of victory. It means that you are a
victor in life and not a victim. You are absolutely indomitable. Nothing can
hurt or affect you negatively. Jesus, in mark 16:18 says, “if thou shalt drink any deadly
thing, it shall not harm thee”. This means that poison has no effect in
a re born man because the life he lives is divine. Papa Umai Ukpai shared a
story of how he was kidnapped and the kidnappers gave him acid to drink. He
took the acid and told the acid to function as tea in his system and then drank
the acid. Till today, he is alive as the acid could not hurt him. Nevertheless,
a Christian who has not imbibed the Word and learnt to exercise his faith can
easily be carried away by the storms of life. He has not learnt to put his
faith to work. A simple stomach upset can have him fretting about what he ate.
He is ignorant of his victorious life in Christ.
In Acts 28:5, Apostle Paul was
bitten by a venomous snake. He did not cry out in pain, rather he simply shook
it off into the fire without suffering any harm. The Bible records that those
watching were waiting for Paul to swell, fall down and die as a result of the
venom. But when that did not happen, they concluded that Paul must be a god.
But then, the Bible in Psalms28:6 calls as gods. It reads, “…ye
are gods; and all of you are children of the most High”. As a born
again child of God, the life at work in you is divine. Your life is no longer
based on your blood. This is why as a regenerated man, you are not permitted to
suffer any blood disease. Now that you are in Christ, the Word of God is the
life of your flesh. The Holy Spirit energises your body because your body is
His living tabernacle. As a carrier of the Holy Spirit, sickness, diseases and
infirmities cannot gain access into your body system. You cannot carry the Holy
Ghost inside of you and still carry blood diseases around. Its impossible for
the Holy Ghost to dwell alongside ugly situations. The arrival of the Holy
Ghost in your life is the exit of all ugly situations.
INSTRUCTION: Live a triumphant life through your
constant meditation and confession of the Word of God.
PRAYER: Lord, I enforce my victory over all situations of
life, in Jesus Name. Amen!
QUOTE: A believer in Christ Jesus walks in constant victory.
