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).
There’s a higher life in Christ—a spiritual life to
which we’ve been called, as Christians. We’re not ordinary. We were made to
look like God, and to function like Him. We’ve been built with possibilities
within our system. We‘re not in this world as victims; we were born victorious.
In Genesis, when God made man, the Bible says He
gave him dominion over all things (Genesis 1:28). He gave us a life that’s
superior, not only to the circumstances of life and the forces of nature, but
also to spiritual beings of evil—Satan and his cohorts. Why then do some
Christians still live as ordinary men, instead of living victoriously every
day? The reason is their ignorance of the Word: "They know not, neither
will they understand; they walk on in darkness….I have said, Ye are gods; and
all of you are children of the most High" (Psalm 82:5-6).
Thanks be unto God. Jesus said, "And ye shall
know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" (John 8:32). The truth
is, now that you’re born again, now that you’re in Christ, you’re a new
creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). Whereas you were defeated and lived as a
victim before you came to Christ, all that is history now. Today, with Christ
alive in you, nothing can put you down; you’re a victor for life!
It doesn’t matter what your experience in life has
been; it doesn’t matter how long you might have suffered or been in darkness;
light has come to you now. Truth has been unveiled: the truth about what God
has done for you, in you, and with you in Christ Jesus. Get to know who you are
in Him.
Study, meditate on, and keep proclaiming, the Word,
because the Word of God unveils our victorious life in Christ. You were born a
victor. You were born to have dominion. You were born to live the superior
life, and live triumphantly every day.
Confession
Dear Father, I thank you for giving me
a life that’s superior to Satan, the circumstances of life, the economic
conditions of this world and other problems that ruin people’s lives. I was
born to have dominion, and to live a superior life, because the greater One
lives in me. I’m a victor in Christ Jesus, now and always. Halleluiah!
