Overcomers in Christ

The Lord holds victory in store for the upright, He is a shield to those whose walk is blamelass, for He guards the course of the just and protects the way of His faithful ones. Proverbs 2:7-8

One of God's blessings to us who are striving to be faithful to Him is the blessing of victory; that in everything that we will encounter, with the continuous guidance and residence of Jesus in our hearts, we will always be victorious.

Come to think of the days when we struggle so much and have come up to think that we will lose the battles in life (such us temptations, problems in our family, in our neighborhood, in our emotions, or in our treasures). Now come to think of ourselves. Is our problems a result of fate, or a result of our disobedience to Him?

If its a result of fate, do remember that God knows everything that is happening to us. As God said through the life of Paul in Romans 8:28, "all things work together for good to them that love God." God will surely hold the victory for us, He is just molding us in the process.

If its a result of our disobedience, then, humble yourselves, bow down and take an act of genuine repentance. Once God see the realness of your heart, He will count us as upright persons, enabling us to capture the blessings He promised in Proverbs 2:7-8, that He will win the battle of struggles, temptations, and worries for us.

Whatever our situations are, if we take an act of faith to walk uprightly by God's grace, God will surely pour out the blessing of victory in us. Claim that we are overcomers as we reside in His presence.
