WELCOME TO 12TH APRIL 2017 EDITION OF RHAPSODY OF REALITIES CHRISTIAN DAILY DEVOTIONALS WITH PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME

You’re A Victor In Christ Jesus
Wednesday, April 12th.

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).
No Christian should be a victim of circumstances. That you lost your job, business, and everything you once had shouldn’t make you a victim. That you went through terrible ordeals because your parents abandoned you while you were young shouldn’t be an excuse for you to live as a victim. Face life’s circumstances head-on, with the smile of a victor and the attitude of a king, because greater is He that’s in you, than all the troubles in the world.
The Word of God, a law of the Spirit, has been promulgated to that effect; it says, “And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose” (Romans 8:28). This isn’t addressed to everybody in the world, but to those that love God—the new creation—they’re the ones for whom this will work. Everything in life has been programmed to work in your favor. There isn’t anything that could happen in this earth to your disadvantage.
A Christian can only be defeated by his own choice, permission, or ignorance. God said my people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge. We’re so blessed of God that even in the face of our own mistakes and errors, He doesn’t blame us. He always has a way out. He’s wisdom personified. When you’re in any predicament, even if self-inflicted, right there in that trouble, in humility, say, “Lord, how do I get out?” “What do I do?” and in love, receive His guidance.
He’ll answer you faster than you would imagine. His love for us is what compels Him to relate with us that way. Therefore, no matter what happens to or with you, refuse to be a victim or be intimidated; you’re a victor in Christ Jesus. Live as one.

PRAYER
Dear Father, I thank you for the comfort of the scriptures. I’m a victor for life. All things are working together for my good, because I love you, and I’m called according to your purpose. I face life’s circumstances head-on, with the smile of a victor, knowing that nothing can stand against me successfully, because the greater One lives in me! Your wisdom works in me to know what to do at all times, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
