VICTORY OVER ALL THINGS THROUGH THE LORD JESUS

March 6

hild of the King, do you know the meaning of the word "victory?" It means that you have triumphed or won over something in a big way. Your Father is not satisfied for you to just slide by in your Christian life. No indeed, He desires that you, yes you, His son/daughter have the great taste of overcoming joy and victory in your mouth. You see, if you experience victory and the excitement that goes with it on one level, it is transferable to every other experience of your life in the Lord. For instance, if you have been a "smart mouth" with you wife, and have been negative and harsh with her, just think of how sweet your victory will feel for you when she says, "darling, lately I have been noticing the tender part of you showing toward me that I married you for in the first place." "What" you will say! You will react that way because you know good and well that you have been harsh and mean toward her for quite some time. But lately you have heard that tender, small voice saying, "be kind to her, she is your gift from me." As you have obeyed His voice, He has shown you how to reach that soft place in her heart and mind. Child of the King do you know how joyful you will be when you realize that once again you have blessed and touched your wife with love? This is so good, that you need to think about it deep and long! Suppose you have been struggling with your job, and you have a bad attitude toward coworkers or your boss. Suppose the day comes when your boss says, "you sure have done an excellent job lately!" How will that make you feel? Just as you were about to be critical of the boss and others, guess who put that kind and thoughtful idea in your boss' mind? Your Father in Heaven did! Your Father is working night and day to turn bad, unpleasant relationships and attitudes in others to good on your behalf. Do you believe this? Then, get the victory over whatever job, relationship, task, endeavor and work that you are doing. You can get the victory by saying, "Father, up till now I have been negative and unthankful, and not praising you in my marriage, my job, my church and other relationships. Not any longer, Father! Today, now I give you thanks that I am walking in brand new victory at work, in the presence of my wife, boss, children church and wherever I find myself. I praise and thank you for my life just as it is. You told me that if I will “be faithful over a few things, you would make me ruler over many.” (Matthew 25:21, 23 NKJV) I have been selfish and greedy. I have not been willing to show patience, kindness, love and understanding, yet, I have expected to reap all these benefits without sowing the same seed." Child, be victorious in all areas of your walk with God!

Prayer

Father, in Jesus' name I praise you for a new day in my life. I will be victorious because you say that I can. That is good enough for me. I give you thanks for my new day dawning in you, in Jesus’ name, amen!
