THE OVERCOMER’S LIFE IN CHRIST

Apst. Emmanuel Osezele

KEY TEXT: 1 JOHN 5:4 KJV: “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”

VICTORY THROUGH FAITH: The overcomer’s life in Christ is a life of victory, not defeat. Every believer born of God has the seed of victory within, because Christ has already conquered the world. Faith is the divine channel through which victory is manifested in our daily walk. It is by faith that giants fall, strongholds collapse, and the enemy is subdued. “Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us” (ROMANS 8:37).

Without faith, it is impossible to overcome the battles of life. The devil thrives on fear, but faith cancels fear and secures triumph. To live by faith is to draw from Christ’s victory and enforce it over every situation. “And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive” (MATTHEW 21:22).

Beloved, your victory is not in your strength, wisdom, or resources, but in your faith in Christ Jesus. The more you trust Him, the more you overcome. “And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God” (MARK 11:22).

PRAYER:

O Lord, strengthen my faith to live as an overcomer daily. Let me never bow to fear or unbelief, but walk in Your victory always, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name. Amen.

REFLECTION:

HEBREWS 11:6 KJV: “But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.”
