SEEDS OF VICTORY - 20th April 2020

With Apostle Joseph Ziba

Lose not Your Faith Lest You Lose the War

Monday, 20th April, 2020

1 John 5:4 King James Version (KJV)

_“….this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our FAITH.”

Many people define faith as a substance of things hoped for. The ‘having’, in your spirit, of that which you haven’t seen in the physical realm. That’s quite true. However, how does ‘the substance of things hoped for’ become the victory for subduing the world as the opening verse above tells us? If you can’t give a sure answer to that question, it means that the definition of ‘faith’ above is not all there is. There’s more to faith.

You must understand that faith produces a force that causes what you are believing God for or what you are ‘fighting’ for to be brought under your feet. Faith releases a force or capacity or a divine energy in you; that’s why Apostle Paul called it the fight (the warfare) of faith (1 Timothy 6:12). It’s that fight in which you use the force of faith to subdue the world. Every fight which you win by faith you win it for good.

Fear is the opposite of faith—fear paralyses faith. As a child of God, You don’t have to fear anything; you don’t have to fear the devil and his cohorts or this COVID-19 pandemic. If you do you’ll lack the energy, that’s produced by faith, for your overcoming life. Consequently, you will be defeated. You don’t want that to happen to you. Have the faith of God in all situations; keep trusting Him and you’ll live in perpetual victory always.

PRAYER

Precious Father, thank You for the revelation of faith today. I know what faith does and I know how much harm fear causes. I refuse to fear because you are always with me. I live an overcoming life because your faith is always at work in my spirit. In the name of Jesus. AMEN!
