Tragedy, Temptation and Triumph

Life is a battle. Ephesians 6:12
We need to understand life is a battle. It requires positioning ourselves properly, mapping out the right strategies and developing the right mindset.

In every war or battle, there are tragedies.
Battles do not respect the status of men.
In every war or battle both good and bad men die, soldiers of great standing fall, and brilliant fighters can end tragically.
That is what life is like.

Good men die, bad men pass on, good men make it, bad men also survive battles.
Tragedy can befall a person in life whether you are good or bad.
Temptation comes to all men in this life.
Christian or not you will face temptation.

In a war or battle, sometimes an opponent will set traps to defeat or capture their enemy.
In life, our enemy the devil also sets traps to defeat us.
Temptations are the traps of Satan for us on the battlefield of life. Revelations 12:11
With every trap of temptation, God makes a way of escape for us. 1 Corinthians 10:13
It is God's will that we win. 2 Corinthians 2:14
It is God's plan for you to be made strong. Ephesians 6:10
It is God's will for you to overcome every temptation.
It is God's will for you to triumph in life. 1 John 5:4

To triumph is to win, to overcome, to succeed, to emerge on top.
Every child of God has what is takes to triumph.
God has equipped us with all we need to triumph in the battle of life. 1 Corinthians 15:57

Why should you triumph?
1) You have the knowledge of God
The knowledge of God puts us at an advantage in life's battle.
2 Corinthians 2:14

2) The blood of Jesus is available
Revelation 12:11
The blood of Jesus is our winning ticket in life.
The blood of Jesus disarms Satan and his agents.
The blood of Jesus acts as our protection and as a weapon to.

3) God's wisdom is available
Proverbs 4:7
Wisdom turns you into a winner in life.
Wisdom puts you on top.

4) You have the mind of Christ
1 Corinthians 2:16
The mind of Christ is a rich mind which gives you access to the understanding, the insights, the revelation and secrets of God.
The mind of Christ is a blessed and creative mind.

5) The Holy Spirit Is With You
John 16:13
The Holy Spirit is our advantage in life.
In the battle of life, the Holy Spirit directs, teaches, and encourages us.
He is our personal companion who understands us and empowers us for life's battle.

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...
