Advancing Encouragement By:
Bishop James Jr. Hairston
You have to fight the good fight to overcome! What are you trying to overcome today? Is it a relationship gone badly? Is it pressure on your job? Are you trying to overcome financial difficulties? Are you looking for a job? What about someone who dislikes you and hate to see you prosper or even have a good day? Some people are just so miserable they want everyone else to join them. Moreover, there is one thing that is hard for everyone to overcome that is death in the family. Yet, in the text is the idea of overcoming the world. The world consists of all the things listed above as well as persecution. However, there are three (3) things that give you the power to overcome life situations. They are rebirth, faith, and believing in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. By these three (3) facts giving you the power to overcome the world is because we are children of the true living God. Being Children of God is being born again (receiving Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior), having faith, and believing Jesus Christ as the Son of God gives you the power to overcome the world. Today, you are an over comer, over any and everything you are facing right now in your life. Today, you are mighty, powerful, loving, kind, brilliant, intelligent, magnificent, holy, pure, cleansed and washed by the blood of the lamb. You are now filled with the Holy Spirit, with joy and peace that passes all understanding. You are an over comer, you may not have all the answers but you will trust God and lean not to your own understanding. You are going to make it today and you will be victorious in Jesus Name.
