Thursday 1st August, Today’s Article: You’re A Victor Not A Victim

YOU’RE A VICTOR, NOT A VICTIM


But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57)

God didn’t bring you into this world to be a victim of circumstance, social structure, politics, the economy, or the government of the day; no. You’re not a victim of the town, city or nation where you live; you’re more than a conqueror; you’ve overcome the world.

The Bible says, *“…whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world…”* (1 John 5:4). Hallelujah! In the preceding chapter four, verse four, it says, *“Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world”* (1 John 4:4).

You have to come to the understanding that God is no longer trying to give you anything, make you anything, or help you out of any predicament. That’s because there isn’t anything you require today that He hasn’t already made available to you.

Many have only related to God with a victim’s mentality, and that’s wrong. They only see Him as the One who *“brings”* them out of trouble. So all their lives they’re looking up to this great God who *“will”* help them out, lift them up, bless them, and so on, unaware of what He’s already done.

Ephesians 1:3 says, *“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ.”* 2 Peter 1:3 tells us that His divine power has given unto us all things that pertain to life and godliness. Then in 1 Corinthians 3:21, Paul, by the Spirit, declares, *“Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours.”*

It’s time to wake up to the reality of God’s Word and live in its present truths. Today, God doesn’t have any plan to prosper you, because He’s already done it. He’s not planning to heal you, because He already gave you something greater than healing—the divine nature that comes with divine health. He gave you a life that’s immune to sickness, disease, infirmity and death.

But if you don’t know these truths, you’ll live as a victim. God said, *“My people perish for their lack of knowledge”* (Hosea 4:6). Have the Christ mentality; you’ve been brought into the transcendent life in Christ. Talk, act, and live accordingly.

PRAYER

I’ve been brought into the transcendent life in Christ; I’m not a victim of circumstances. I’m empowered by the Spirit to overcome every obstacle that comes my way. I have everything I need to live a triumphant life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
