Untitled Sermon (57)

VICTORY IN JESUS

INTRODUCTION:

SO MANY CHRISTIANS WHO ATTEND CHURCH ON A REGULAR BASIS LIVES DEFEATED.

THE REASON IS THEY HAVE NEVER COME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST JESUS RESURRECTION POWER THAT OPERATES WITHIN THERE LIVES AS CHILDREN OF GOD.

ROMANS SAYS BUT IF THE SPIRIT OF HIM THAT RAISED UP JESUS FROM THE DEAD DWELL IN YOU,HE THAT RAISED UP CHRIST FROM THE DEAD SHALL ALSO QUICKEN YOUR MORTAL BODIES BY HIS SPIRIT THAT DWELLETH IN YOU.

VICTORY COMES IN OUR LIVES BASED ON OUR INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD JESUS CHRIST.

THOSE WHO OVERCOME IN THIS LIFE ARE THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN BORN MY THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

SO MY QUESTION TODAY IS WHAT GIVES A CHRISTIAN VICTORY IN JESUS?

1. OUR IDENTIFICATION WITH HIM.

2. OUR FAITH IN HIM.

3. OUR WITNESS WITHIN OURSELVES

A. OUR IDENTIFICATION IN HIM.

1 JOHN 5:4 “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.”

THIS IS WHEN WE WAS REBORN MY THE SPIRIT OF GOD AND WE BECAME CHILDREN OF GOD.

OUR IDENTIFICATION WAS CERTIFIED IN OUR ACCEPTANCE OF HIS SON JESUS CHRIST.

THE POWER OF THE NEW BIRTH TURNS A BELIEVER HEART TOWARDS THE WORD OF GOD.

THE NEW NATURE WITHIN US, THE HOLY SPIRIT COMBATS AGAINST DARKNESS THAT TRIES TO DIM THE LIGHT WITHIN US TO KEEP OTHER’S FROM SEEING THE LIFE OF CHRIST LIVING THROUGH US.

AND WHEN THIS HAPPEN WE WILL NOT EXPERIENCE THE VICTORIES , AND THE WORLD WILL ENSLAVE US TO IT’S IDOLS.

WHEN YOU’RE CHILDREN OF GOD , YOU DON’T NEED NO ONE TO APPROVE OF YOU, WHEN YOUR CITIZENSHIP IS IN HEAVEN.

JESUS TOLD NICODEMUS YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN, AND IT MUST BE BY WATER AND SPIRIT,OR HE CANNOT ENTER THE KINGDOM OF GOD, BECAUSE JESUS SAID THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE FLESH IS FLESH, BUT THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT.

THEIR MUST BE A NATURAL BIRTH BEFORE A SPIRITUAL BIRTH.

YOUR MOTHER MIGHT HAVE BIRTH YOU , BUT SHE CANNOT REGENERATE YOU, MEANING SHE DO NOT HAVE THE POWER TO SAVE YOU FROM DESTRUCTION.

1 PETER 1:3 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,”

THAT WORD BEGOTTEN US AGAIN MEANS WE BEEN RE FATHERED.

B. OUR FAITH IN HIM.

JOHN SAYS WE OVERCOME THE WORLD THROUGH OUR FAITH.

OUR FAITH IN GOD MAKES US CONQUERORS OVER SATANIC ATTACKS.

YOUR FAITH HAS TO DO WITH YOUR BELIEF SYSTEM.

WHAT KIND OF FAITH THAT OVERCOME THE WORLD IS A FAITH THAT IS PERSISTENT IN PRAYER.

THOSE WHO HAVE THAT KIND OF FAITH DON’T LOSE HOPE BECAUSE GOD HAVE NOT GIVING THEM AN ANSWER TO THEIR PRAYER.

GOD WILL TEST US TO FIND OUT WILL WE TRUST HIM WHEN WE ARE NOT ABLE TO TRACK HIM.

IT IS IN THOSE TIMES WHEN YOU REALLY FIND OUT WHAT YOUR FAITH IS BUILT UPON.

ARE YOUR FAITH BUILT UPON THE SAND OR AN ROCK.

WHEN THINGS HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU WAS NOT LOOKING TO HAPPEN IN YOUR LIFE DO YOU SINK OR DO YOU REMAIN FIRM IN YOUR FAITH.

FAITH GLORIFIES GOD, IT LIFT GOD UP AND NOT YOURSELF.

FAITH PLEASES GOD, BECAUSE YOU TRUST HIM WITH YOUR LIFE.

FAITH LIVES IT, IT WALKS OUT WHAT IT LIVES. IT’S NOT ONLY A HEARER, BUT A DOER.

FAITH ENDURES, IT TAKE BLOWS BUT KEEP ON TICKING. IT’S A ENERGIZER.

2 TIMOTHY 4:7-8 “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.”

C. OUR WITNESS WITHIN OURSELVES.

1 JOHN 5:10 “He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son.”

PEOPLE OF GOD WE HAVE THE TRUTH THAT LIVES WITHIN US.

WHY DO PEOPLE OF GOD LIKES TO LIE WHEN THE TRUTH LIVES IN THEM.

OUR FATHER IS NOT A LIAR, BUT THE WORLD FATHER IS THE FATHER OF LIES.

OUR WITNESS IS OUR ACCEPTANCE IN GOD SON JESUS CHRIST.

AND WHEN WE HAVE THE WITNESS, WE HAVE THE HOLY SPIRIT THAT LIVES IN US , WHO IS THE TRUE WITNESS.

OUR WITNESS IS OUR REPRESENTATION OF JESUS CHRIST, SO IN ORDER FOR OTHER’S TO SEE THIS LIFE , IT HAVE TO BE ON DISPLAY IN OUR OWN LIVES.

BUT IF YOU HAVE NEVER ACCEPTED HIS SON JESUS CHRIST AND HAVE NOT BELIEVED THAT HE IS THE SON OF GOD, YOU HAVE MADE GOD TO BE A LIAR AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN YOU, BECAUSE YOU HAVE NEVER RECEIVED THE TRUTH.

OUR VICTORY IN JESUS IS HIS SPIRIT THAT LIVES WITHIN US.
