Victory is Possible

YES VICTORY IS POSSIBLE

You can be victorious at all times
As long as we are on earth, there will be challenges (trials and temptations) but God has designed things in such a way that we can live above them at all times. However, as boring as it may sound to some, it is still the truth, that faith in God’s Word is our only way out of these challenges. Faith is simply believing and acting on God’s Word.
God desires that we get to a point where we literally float above life’s circumstances. He desires that we get to a place in our spiritual growth where, even though challenges keep coming increasingly; you can stand firm and not be moved by them. It will not be a one day thing. You won’t just get there in one day but it starts with a decision to maintain absolute confidence in God’s Word. You must make a decision to stop focusing on the snakes that bite you and focus rather on the brass serpent hung on a pole (Numbers 28:8, 9). "Looking unto Jesus, who is the initiator and the one who makes our faith perfect"  (Hebrews 12:2).

 No believer has a faith problem. Every believer is given "the measure of faith" (Romans 12:3). This faith is the very faith of Jesus Himself (Galatians 2:20). This is the faith that is sourced from God who created and maintains the heavens and the earth. Whatever is sourced from God is never subject to this world but has overcome it (1 John 5:4).  And this is the victory over the world-our faith. Faith is the victory. So when God gave us faith, He gave us victory (Romans 12:3, 1 John. 5:4).

 The main challenge is in deploying this faith for use. We have seen that every believer has faith and that this faith is limitless but the main challenge is how to deploy it for use. How do we make this faith available for use? Faith comes or is made available by continuously hearing or feeding yourself with God’s Word (Romans 10:17). Even though this faith is in your spirit, you will never be able to use it if you are not fully persuaded that God’s Word will not fail you.

 "I know who I have believed and I am persuaded that He is able" (2 Timothy 1:12). You should focus on Jesus whom you have believed. Focus brings persuasion. Jesus is the Word of God made flesh (Johnn. 1:14). A focus on the Word is a focus on Jesus. All that Jesus did while on earth, the Word and faith in the Word can do in and through you today. This faith is activated and made available for use in the hearts of men who choose to focus on the Word and make it their focal point: the centre around which their views about life circulate.

Due to protracted exposure to the physical realities surrounding us, the things of God look vague and unrealistic to many but it still is the centre of all existence so adjust your mind to this fact and go over this write-up again.

HEARING GOD 3

HEARING GOD 3 The challenge most believers face when it comes to the leading of the Spirit is that we are not able to differentiate between the voice of God in our hearts and when it is just us thinking. The first step here is to understand that there are two experiences every man should have of the Holy Spirit; the first is the born again experience where Christ comes to dwell in your heart in the person of the Holy Spirit. It is called the indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit . As long as you are born again you have the Holy Spirit dwelling in you but then you need the second experience which is the baptism of the Holy Spirit. This is the experience the apostles had on the day of Pentecost (Acts 2). This is also an experience of the infilling of the Holy Ghost . This experience ushers you into a higher level of the supernatural. It’s a place where you can commune with God more easily and clearly because you now carry in you the fullness of his spirit. The first evidence of t...

HEARING GOD 2

John 16:13 says; However, when He, the Spirit of truth has come, He will guide you into all truth…  The Holy Spirit is here to guide you into all truth. There is a truth about every aspect of your life. There is a truth about your academics; there is a truth about your health; there is a truth about your purpose on this earth and Jesus says the Holy Spirit will guide you into it . He will guide you into all truth not some truth. God never wants you confused in this life . The Holy Spirit is in you to lead you in your day-to-day activities just as Jesus was with His disciples day in day out. Take note that in the verse quoted above, Jesus says “He (the Holy Spirit) will guide you into all truth”. He did not say He will tell you all truth rather He will guide you into all truth. Most times we pray and wait for visions, dreams etc where God will give us the instructions word for word. Although, this sometimes happens but it will not always happen because Jesus already showed tha...

How do I Receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit?

How do I Receive the Baptism of the Holy Spirit? I strongly suggest that you read Hearing God 3 before delving into this post Acts 2:15 “for these are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day “But this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel: And it shall come to pass in the Last days says God, that I will pour out of my spirit on all flesh…  Peter (by the Holy Spirit) said what happened in Acts 2 was a confirmation of Joel’s prophecy Notice God did not say I will pour out of My Spirit upon the first church, rather He said “ upon all flesh ”. Therefore, when God poured His Spirit upon the Apostles, He also poured Him upon you. The Holy Spirit has been given already . When you are given a gift, you don’t go asking for it again, you just receive it. So also, all you need to do is receive Him by faith. Remember, the first experience you must have of the Holy Spirit is receiving His indwelling presence. To receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit, ...
