THE GREATEST VICTORY

"For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith."1 John 5:4

The Lord Jesus overcame the devil and the world because He was born of the Spirit of God. Being a member of a Christian church, remaining faithful to your vows and attending Sunday service doesn't necessarily mean that you are born of God. What characterizes those who are born of God is their initiative to live apart from sin, which is the greatest victory of those who are truly born of the Spirit. 

THE HEIRS' INHERITANCE

"And if the children, then heirs - heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together." Romans 8:17

That is the reward for those who remain firm in the faith until the end. Everything ends... But for the few who practice righteousness, the best part will come at the end. For the many others, who are unrighteous, their end will be sad, painful and worst of all ― eternal. 

TAKEN TO THE MOUNTAIN

"Oh, send out Your light and Your truth! Let them lead me; let them bring me to Your holy hill and to Your tabernacle."Psalm 43:3

Only those who are enlightened by the Light of the Gospel find joy in offering their lives on the Altar of God, persevere in practicing His Word and use an intelligent faith.

TRUE CHILDREN OF GOD

"If you were Abraham's children," said Jesus, "then you would do what Abraham did." John 8:39

With that answer, Jesus defined who are truly God's children. God's children do the work of God and the devil's children do the work of the devil. Being righteous, using your Christian faith and being merciful characterize the attitude of a child of God. But the practice of injustice, sin and selfishness characterize the the attitude of the devil's children. The children of the devil obey their own will. 

THE LORD'S BLESSING

"Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him." Genesis 26:12

Even though he was sowing on the enemy's land, Issac was sure he was going to have a bountiful harvest because of the promises made to his father. This verse shows us how he not only believed in God, but he also believed in himself. That is the kind of faith that pleases God. Many believe in God, but don't believe in themselves. In this case it's impossible for faith to work.

LIKE GARDENS

"How beautiful are your tents, Jacob, your dwelling places, Israel! Like valleys they spread out, like gardens beside a river, like aloes planted by the Lord, like cedars beside the waters." Numbers 24:5-6

God's plan for His children is more wonderful than you can ever imagine. However, there are rules and disciplines you must follow in order to be in His plans. Faith, righteousness, good character, faithfulness and balance are some of the qualities you'll possess once you're included in this plan.

OUTSTRETCHED HAND

"For the Lord of hosts has purposed, and who will annul it? His hand is stretched out, and who will turn it back?" Isaiah 14:27

The Lord can do everything, even turn around an impossible situation. But, in order for you to take hold of His Promises, you must manifest a living faith. Surely, He will fulfill His Promises.
