From Casualty to Conqueror

Romans 8:37

A conqueror is someone who overcomes and dominates it's opposition, limitation or enemy.
When we think about conquerors,men like Alexander the Great, King Cyrus, Napoleon Bonaparte, Hannibal come to mind as well as fictional characters like Achilles or Hercules.
The Bible says God's people are more than conquerors.
This suggests to me that you're meant to win in life if you are in Christ Jesus.

Human beings were originally created to win in life.
Sin, sickness, fatigue, and the depreciation human beings go through was not originally part of the package when God created man.
Adam and Eve (the first man and his wife) didn't know what it meant to be defeated or lose until sin came into the world.

Adam was a winner before sin came into the World.
He and his wife were living fruitfully, creatively and in dominion.
It is the devil's wish that you willend up a casualtyin this world and in eternity.
A casualty is a victim, someone or something that is badly damaged, that'sdead or defeated.
A casualty is someone who has been captured.

 Why should your life be a life of more than a conqueror?
a) You are a carrier of eternal life. John 1:4
b) God is on your side. 1 John 3:1,2
c) Jesus is interceeding for you as high priest. Hebrews 7:17
d) The promises of God are there for you to claim. 2 Peter 1:4
e) The Holy Spirit is available. John 16:13
f) You can resist Satan. James 4:7
g) Wisdom is available. James 1:5

Why we should not be casualties of life
1) It populates Satan's Kingdom. Acts 26:18
11) It doesn't glorify God. Isaiah 42:8
111) It shows the enemy is taking advantage of us. 2 Corinthians 11:3

 Prayer Points.
1) Terminate my unnecessary struggles in life. 1 Peter 5:10
2) Increase my productivityin life. 1 Thessalonians 4:11
3) Help me remain at your right hand side. Psalm 110:1
4) Terminate financial hardship in my life. Malachi 3:9,10
5) Reveal who I am to me. Jeremiah 1:5
6) Reveal who you are to me. Acts 9:5
7) Remove the cause of my problems. Proverbs 3:5
8) I will not be a victim of Satan in life. Romans 8:37

Your Father Hears

Matthew 6:5,6 Prayer should be directed to the Father. Jesus showed this when He taught His disciples the Lord's prayer. It should be a great comfort to you to know that the creator and God of all hears you when you pray. This should encourage you to pray and keep praying. In our day to day relationships with people our communication will reduce towards those who don't pay attention when we're talking to them. The good thing about God is that He is never distracted. Know you have His attention when you pray . He can be communicated with. He hears, He created the ears. Psalm 94:9 Jesus encouraged prayer. Matthew 26:40 Jesus taught prayer. Luke 11:1,2 If Jesus prayed, you will need to pray. Why Should You Pray? *Pray because prayer brings God's intervention. Isaiah 38:5,6 *Pray because that's how you are authorized to communicate with God. 1 Thessalonians 15:16-18 *Pray because it is a major way of birthing God's will on earth. 1 Kings 18...

Out Of The Ashes

Isaiah 61:3 Ashes are not seen as useful substances. Ashes are waste that's thrown away. Ashes are what is left after a substance is burnt out. Your life may seem like ashes right now but something good and beautiful can come out of it when it's given to God. You may feel like an ash yourself. You may be feeling burnt out from unpleasant experiences of the past, the previous week, the last Month , or the the last year and life's battles may have left you burnt out. Know that out of your ashes can come beauty! God is the one who gives us beauty for ashes. God can make you and your life beautiful! Don't make the ashes your permanent state. God can make your season of ashes work out into a season of glory for you. Romans 8:28 The phoenix is a mystical and fictional bird that burns out after living for about six centuries. After burning itself out it rises from it's ashes renewed, youthful and revitalized to live through another life cycle. Like the p...
