For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. (1 John 5:4, KJV)
A very dear childhood friend of mine had been battling through life. He had serious issues with his finance, no job, including family issues. The mum died and the uncle he lived with never liked his activities, which of course included his religious activities. One day, he told me he’s been told to park out of his uncle’s house, I encouraged him to move on after he tried several approaches to pacify them, and he did. Sometime ago, we talked about his employment issue, and we prayed. Last week, on monday to be precise, I called him and he told me about an interview, I encouraged him and we prayed. And this morning he shared his breakthrough testimony… Halleluyah!
Life is a battlefield and being born again doesn’t mean everything will change automatically. As a matter of fact, that is when the battle begins because doors will open to you but the devil and his cohorts will do all they can to stop you from entering and that’s why you must battle. The Word of God says in 1 Corinthians 16:9; “For a great door and effectual is opened unto me, and there are many adversaries.”
The passage says “and” not but, which means its a fact that there are obstacles. Today’s reading says whatsoever is born of God overcomes the world, so no matter how the battles rage, as children of God we win, even before they start. I don’t know what battle you’re fighting today, but as far as you are born again, you will overcome in Jesus name!
Stand firm! I see victory coming your way!
It is well with you.
