*TOPIC:*ALWAYS VICTORIOUS.*
*Read Romans 8:31-39.*
31. What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?
32. He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?
33. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.
34. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.
35. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36. As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
38. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39. Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
*MEMORISE: Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us (Romans 8:37).*
*EXPOSITION*
Life is a bundle of activities, which span from religion, education, socialisation, health and civilisation. In all these activities lay bundles of joy, troubles and challenges. Jesus says; "...sufficient for the day is its own trouble" (Matthew 6:34).
Each day carries a lot of crisis and stress ranging from money (finance), health, marriage, relationship, political and spiritual or religious crisis. All these are also garnished with pleasure of various capacities.
These life battles are not peculiar to believers alone, even the unsaved have their share of life's blows, but there is a joy for the believer. In every circumstance, the Lord of our faith has promised to be with us. All we need do is to allow Him to take over the situation. Let Him be the Lord over your situations.
Paul carefully highlighted different battles that may come the believers' way: tribulation, distress, persecution, famine, poverty, revile, sword and the likes, and he never failed to declare that; "in all these things, we are more than conqueror..."
This means at all time, we are ALWAYS VICTORIOUS, even in the midst of the battles, if we remain connected to God (Read Matthew 6:33). Seek God first and fight all your battles with prayers, you will win. Let us pray.
*PRAYER POINTS:*
1. Lord, teach me how to trust You at all time.
2. Lord, deliver me from my present dilemma.
3. Oh Lord, help our leaders to always trust You for victory, direction and fulfilment in all their endeavour.
