 'Who is he that over cometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God' (1 John 5:5).

When we put our trust on Jesus and have a saving relationship with him, we are born of God. Anyone who don't believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God is not born of God. All those who are born of God must believe by faith that Jesus is the Son of God, in order to be overcomers. This abiding faith and trust in Jesus is the life that overcomes all the temptations and tribulations, we face in this world. Simply put, John is saying, we overcome because of who we are in Christ and believing He is the Son of God for us. It was Jesus who overcame the world making it possible for us to do the same as we abide in Him. One song writer penned it this way, "Faith is the victory! Faith is the victory! O, glorious victory, that overcomes the world. This faith we seek comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. We hear God speaking to us through His holy word; when we believe and trust the living Word of God, which testifies of Jesus and God's infinite love for a sinful people, it should motive us to stand in awe and worship God. It is our faith and belief in Jesus that makes us overcome the world, and the knowledge that He overcame it by his blood. As the Scriptures rightly testifies of Jesus and the Holy Spirit pierce our consciences and bear witness to our souls that it is this same Jesus, who is also God, came down to earth to save us by water and blood, from the fierce wrath of God and our sinfulness. It is our faith in the One who is faithful, that helps us to overcome the world, and bring us into union with the Son of God. It is our faith that makes us as He is, and for us to become partakers of His victory as overcomers. Let us trust in the Saviour, Jesus Christ and acknowledge him as the Son of God, so we can be partakers of His victory that overcomes the world.

Have a wonderful day and a bless weekend🌹🌹

 Devotional 'The Lord is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed' (Psalm 28:8). The Lord our God is the glory of our strength, and in His name we shall rejoice all the day. The Lord is our strength, and the saving strength of His anointed. It is through Christ our anointed that all our blessings come to us. Here we see David, who is a type of our Lord Jesus, praising God. What about you? Christ had done much for us and has achieved full salvation for us, therefore, praise Him! We, like Israel are encouraged that the Lord is our Strength and salvation. When we seek to be in a  relationship with God, He will protect us from our enemies and save us from the crutches of Satan. Just as how Satan attempts to destroy Christ many times, whilst he was on earth, God  saved him and will do the same for us. Christ died to save us all, but it is those who trust Him and have a saving relationship with him that will spend eternity with. He is our High Priest, and J...

 'I protest by your rejoicing  which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily' (1 Corinthians 15:31). Christ our Lord came and died for each and everyone to save us from the bondage of sin. He lived on this earth, ministered to the needs of all who He encountered; He was crucified, and resurrected and is now interceding for us, as our High Priest in Heaven. What if there was no resurrection? What would be the implications for God's people? The preaching of the gospel would be a lie, our faith would be worthless and we would all have remained in our sin. Paul is saying, there would be no cause to his dying daily, or for any one who believed and accept Jesus as their personal Saviour to die daily. Paul was expecting death at any time for Christ's sake. He was constantly in peril of his life, he encountered extreme sufferings and was beset with death. He was willing to die at anytime and in any way for Christ's sake. He did not count his life dear unto himself, but...

 'The Lord thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing' (Zephaniah 3 17). What an amazing and wonderful God we serve, who is mighty to save. The Lord our God is with us and is mighty to save. He will take great delight in us and will quiet us with his love, and also rejoice over us with singing. We didn't have to do anything for God to love us, he did because he created us and we are His. He created us and loves us just as we are. Even when we did not deserve it, the Lord took delight in us. What an awesome God! He is present in the midst of us, loving and caring for us. He protects and defend us; died to save us from sin, so we can have life and have it more abundant. He is mighty to save us from fears; our enemies and the bondage of sin and death. We all need a Saviour, Christ the Lord, who is the cure for our problems and the antidote to sin. Christ has already won ...
