IT IS MY YEAR OF VICTORY
(DISCOVER A NEW YOU)
Joshua 17:14-18, Joshua 18:1
§ We make so much noise
about our inheritance, our possession, our victory, our breakthroughs, etc but
yet we will not venture out to possess them.
§ Whatever limitations you
may be experiencing now, the good news is that the “the Wood Country” is
waiting for you.
§ Virgin lands, new
achievement, great impact, breakthroughs, etc are all waiting for you to take.
§ Rom. 8:19 says “For the earnest expectation
of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.”
§ That job is yours, that
business is yours, that admission is yours, that scholarship is yours, though
the giants are still there but they will move as soon as you step in.
§ They are only permitted
to be there until you arise.
§ All you need to do is to
stand up, cut down the “Wood Country” and take possession.
THINGS
TO NOTE WHEN SEEKING YOUR VICTORY
1. CONFRONTATION IS INEVITABLE
§ If you are afraid to
confront your enemy you will never defeat him.
§ For every demand for
enlargement be ready to take territories.
§ Bible Reference: Joshua
17:17-18,
§ You have great powers at
your disposal, you are not too small or too young, just think it, accept it,
believe it and act it.
§ Jesus said in Luke 10:19: Behold I give unto you powers to tread on serpent
and scorpion……………………
§ Paul said in 2Cor.10:4: For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but
mighty through God to the pulling………………………….
§ Paul said in Phil 4:13: I can do all things through Christ………………………………..
2. BATTLES ARE FOR EVERYONE
§ When you boldly confront
your battle then you will be crowned a “Conqueror”
§ Let us consider this
Scripture. Duet. 20:1-4
§ Duet. 20:1 says; When thou goest
out to battle
§ “When... not if” no one
is exempted we all have battles of life that we need to fight
§ Area of battle may differ
but we battle in one way or the other.
§ The devil is ready to
engage you each time you take a step of greatness, it is up to you to either
win or accept defeat.
§ Rom. 8:37 says: Nay, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through (Him) Christ that love us
3. ARISE
§ Another requirement for
winning is “setting things in motion”
§ Deut. 20:1 says; when thou goest…
§ Only people who have the
right strategy have the hope of winning
§ Strategy may be inform
of;
Knowing which prayers to
pray for your needed breakthrough,
The required exams or
subjects for that course,
The certification
required for that job,
The training required for
that position
Getting the right
information for that opportunity
§ Those great ideas are
nothing until you do something with them.
§ If you run away from
those problems today, you will return to meet them.
§ Stop dodging it, face it
squarely and get rid of it once and for all.
§ Stand up from the drawing
board, you have planned enough, become a DOER.
§ Confront your situation,
your poverty, your sickness, your lack of admission, lack of job, etc with
those great plans.
4. HOW DO YOU SEE? (WHAT DO YOU SEE)
§ Duet. 20:1 says; when thou goest
out to battle against thy enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a
people more than you, be not afraid of them……………
§ You will always see your
enemy looking larger than life but when you see with the eyes of the spirit
they are just a stepping stone into greatness.
§ Ignoring a problem is not
faith, it is foolishness. Faith is looking at an apparently insurmountable
problem in the face with the spectacles of Scripture.
§ Heb. 12:2, Duet. 20:4
§ Elisha understood this
principle when the Syrian army came and besieged him and his servant. 2Kings 6:15-17
§ Instead of looking at the
Syrian army he saw the host of heaven ready to do battle on his behalf.
5. STEP OUT
§ In Mark 16:15-20 as the disciple went in
response to the great commission, the Lord also went with them working and
confirming the Word with signs following.
§ The signs will not
manifest until you step out.
§ Quote from George and
Halen Jasze the author of born to win (We
cannot discover new world until you have the courage to lose the shore. We
cannot walk on water until we get out of the boat. Whoever restrains you from a
fight has robbed you of your crown. Whatever stops you from starting your
journey has denied you of your destination)
§ You cannot succeed if you
maintain the status-quo or remain in one spot, Go for something new.
§ If the Israelite had not
stepped out into the Red Sea, they will not have discovered the express road
into their greatness. Exodus 14:15
§ If Peter had not stepped
out he will not have discovered how to walk on waters
§ As long as all the men of
Israel refused to go, Goliath remained a winner but when David arose a new
chapter opened for Israel
In conclusion,
It is
our year of VICTORY go out there and win your battles
If you must keep a company of friends
this year, choose the company of the courageous
Choose
the company of the conqueror
It is time to conquer, so arise and shine
for your time has come
