‘Now, thanks be to God who always
leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His
knowledge in every place’ (2 Cor 2:14).
The opening verse started with
the word ‘NOW’; which means this very moment as you read this,
regardless the situation and challenges you may be facing; God is the One who
leads you to triumph over them for we are the trophies of Christ’s victory. He leads us to triumph over every challenge
and every adversity. God does this by
the Holy Spirit who lives in us. It is one
of the ‘New Creation Realities’. Today, with
this confidence you can face every challenge comes your way. You will witness the victories of Christ in
your life daily, if you ONLY BELIEVE and walk in this consciousness everyday.
The Bible says in the book of
Ezekiel 36: 27 (AMP), ‘And I will put My Spirit within you
and CAUSE you to walk in My statutes, and you shall heed My ordinances
and do them.’ The Prophet
Ezekiel prophesied about the forth-coming New Testament believers’. This verse refers to us - the New Creations in
Christ! His Spirit is in us and He will cause
us to walk in His Truth. I want you to
take a moment to meditate the above verse and believe that He will accomplish
that in your life. A Christian can not
live a victorious life without the help of the Holy Spirit. That is why Jesus said, ‘I will pray the Father, and He
will give you another Helper, and He may abide with and (in) you forever..’
(John 14:16).
The Holy Spirit in us will lead
us victoriously everyday. He will lead
us in the paths of victory. Philippians
2:13 (AMP) says, ‘not in your own strength, for it is God who is all the while
effectually at work IN YOU (energizing and creating in you the power and
desire), both to will and to work for His good pleasure and satisfaction and
delight.’ What a privilege
and what an encouragement this brings to our lives. So, cheer up! Stop struggling
and start trusting in the One who energizing and creating the desire in you and
gives you the power to please God.
With the help of the Holy Spirit,
remember, you are victorious and triumphant in Christ! Thank God for the Holy Spirit and His ministry
in us! Appreciate His work and declare today : ‘I am victorious in Christ! Ask God to help you everyday and
trust in His Power to accomplish that in your life in Jesus Name. Amen.
Pray with me:
Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for the Holy Spirit
who abides and works in me to accomplish all You require in my life. I refuse
to struggle but trust in Your Spirit who enables me and cause me to walk in
Your Truth. Now, thanks be to God, who
ALWAYS cause me to triumph in Christ and through me diffuses the fragrance of
His knowledge in every place. I am victorious today and everyday in
Christ. In Jesus Name. Amen.
