DEFENDING CHAMPIONS

John 16:33 these things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
 
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Ex 34, John 13, Prov 10, Eph 3
 
A champion is the fellow that emerges a victor in a challenge, contest or competition. Long before you were born, Jesus has already overcome the world for you. You have already emerged a victor , long  before that challenge you are facing. Romans 8:37 says nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Whether you believe it or not, you are not a failure. Things don’t always go wrong for you; you are not a victim of circumstances ; something is not wrong with you ;the world is not always against you, do not accept this lie from the pit of hell. You have already secured victory over failure, Deuteronomy 28:13 says you shall be the head, not the tail. Your future is bright, Isaiah 3:10 says say to the righteous it shall be well with him. You healing is guaranteed, Isaiah 65:20 says there shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man that hath not filled his days: for the child shall die an hundreds years old.We are champions because  Jesus overcame the world for us. I read a Facebook status which says Christians are defending champions; we are not fighting for victory over the devil, we are fighting to retain in our victory .
 
The question is  how can I retain my victory in Christ? Firstly, live a life of holiness. Hebrews 12:14 says without holiness, no man shall see the Lord. Jeremiah 5:25 says your iniquities have turned these things, and your sins have withholden good things from you. Secondly, believe in the Lord. Romans 10:10 says for with the heart man believeth unto righteousness. Mark 9:23 says all things are possible to them that belief. According to Hebrews 3:19, unbelief can shut the door of breakthrough on a man. Thirdly, confess your victory. Romans 10:10 says with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Numbers 14:28 says Say unto them, As truly as I live, saith the LORD, as ye have spoken in mine ears, so will I do to you. Joel 3:10 says let the weak say I am strong. Confess what you want not what you are going through. Begin to confess your victory over that challenges you are going through.
 
KEYWORD: Christians are defending champions; we are not fighting for victory over the devil, we are fighting to retain in our victory.
