PASTOR CHRIS TUESDAY, MARCH 4TH YOU CAN WIN ALWAYS Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. 2 Corinthians 2:14 One Bible character that inspires me greatly is King David; theres so much about him in Scriptures thats so inspiring. He was a very successful king, who never lost a battle. The only time Israel ever lost a battle in Davids day was when he didnt go. How could a man be so successful? It shows us the kind of mindset that he had. Think like that: youre ordained of God to win always and never lose. Therere people who are used to winning and losing. They say, Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose; sometimes youre healthy, and sometimes youre sick. For them, life is full of ups and downs, but thats not the way it should be. You can, and should, always win. Thats the life of the man in Christ—a life of glory, excellence, and constant victories. Jesus was always a winner; He was always victorious because of who He was and what He knew. Success or failure will depend on who you are and what you know. God said, My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge... (Hosea 4:6). Some of Gods people suffer because they lack spiritual knowledge—true knowledge of Gods Word. However, 2 Peter 14:1 says, Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord. Notice he didnt say grace and peace will be added, but that theyll be multiplied through knowledge. This is a special kind of knowledge; its not ginosko (the introductory knowledge you receive when you accept Christ as Lord of your life). This knowledge is epignosis; its specialized and accurate knowledge. It is experiential knowledge; knowledge that relates with that which is known. All the beautiful and wonderful blessings and promises God has given you in His Word wont do you any good if you dont know about them and know what to do with them. To win always in life, you need the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord. Through this knowledge, you multiply grace and peace in your life. Peace here means power over crisis. Meaning that, in the midst of the storms and troubles of life, youll always win. Glory to God! CONFESSION Im a winner, a success, and a victor at every count. I walk in continual victory because I know who I am. Everything Im involved in prospers because I have the life of God in me and have overcome the world.
