Today, I had an opportunity to lead morning prayers at work. I was very brief, I mean, I think I only took 7 minutes, haha but I believe lives were transformed!

Here we go;

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 4:4King James Version (KJV)

In this epistle, John was talking to the church about the spirit of antichrist and the turmoil in the world. It seems like the situation was completely hopeless but then the case is different for God’s kids. In verse 4, he reminds them that they are God’s kids. That they are born of God and they hail from God. And this truth is what changes everything for them!!!! They have overcome them. Why???? Because greater is the one in them than he that is in this world

Beloved, let us come to you. Yes, you.

Child of God, Christ lives in you and He is greater than any circumstance and situation, no matter how hopeless and stubborn it may seem. Because He is in you, you have overcome the world by faith. The victory is assured. No wonder Paul said, we are more than conquerors meaning that we have passed the stage of conquering. The battle was won at the cross so we are not trying to conquer. Jesus already conquered the war. The only fight we engage in is the fight of faith but it’s not just a fight!! It is the good fight of faith!!! Why? Because we already know the outcome. The victory is surely ours. We are living in victory, beyond the battle line!  We have overcome the world because greater is the one in us than the one in this world and we are born of God!!!

So, child of God, what is that stubborn situation in your life?? Let us engage our faith and agree that it just came to an end. I speak life to any seemingly dead situation in your life!! You are walking in the newness in life! I speak peace and calmness where there was confusion and turmoil. Child of God, where there was pain and sadness, tranquillity and unspeakable joy will characterize your life and those of your loved ones!! You are a success and victor because Christ lives in you!!!

Now, start talking like a victor!!! Decide that you’ll not process any more negative thoughts or speak negative words again. Decide that you will only say what God has said about you. And if God has said that you have overcome the world, then it is the truth!! Even when it seems chaotic. It is all coming to pass because remember, it is a good fight of faith!! The outcome is known! Cheer up; you are more than a conqueror beloved! Because Greater is the one in you than he that is in this world!!

Much love,

Nexcellent.
