The Winning Life. Part 1
Deacon Adekunle Adenuga
Romans 8:37-39 WNT
37 Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who has loved us.
38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither the lower ranks of evil angels nor the higher, neither things present nor things future, nor the forces of nature,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God which rests upon us in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Faith in God is the divine wisdom for your dominion and victory in the realm of life. It is the will God that you have and live in dominion and victory in all areas of your life. Not only that, you are to continue and remain in your victory and dominion. You are to be living and walking in victory and dominion; it is being a consistent winner and living the winning life.
The promise is assured through the righteousness of faith in Christ. You can walk and live in your redemptive inheritance, and take hold of your rights and privileges in Christ by appropriating them by faith in the Word of God. The just shall live and walk and stand by faith. As believers in Christ, we cannot do without faith as much as fishes cannot do without water. Faith is the atmosphere we live in and walk by. It is the spiritual principle through which we access the grace of God. Romans 5:1-2.
Now, your faith is the victory. 1 John 5:4 KJV For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
FAITH is the victorious principle that brings the world systems and ways to its knee. Faith is the victory that overcomes the world. The faith walk is the victory walk. The victorious life is an outcome of the faith life. Faith in the Word is the guarantee for divine approval. Divine approval brings forth divine reward, and divine reward generates prosperity and victory. Hebrew 11:6. Good testimony is obtained by the law of faith. You faith in Gods Word is your testimonial before God that qualifies you to receive from God Almighty. Without faith, there is no receiving from heaven.
But, as powerful as faith is, faith has to be connected with certain spiritual forces of the kingdom of God to guarantee its effectiveness and fruitfulness. Faith as a spiritual principle works by and through certain powerful principles of the kingdom of God. Without these spiritual forces, faith becomes ineffective and unfruitful. Your faith combined with these forces will enable your faith produce the desired results.
2 Peter 1:1-9 KJV
1 Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the righteousness of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:
2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through the knowledge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
3 According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue:
4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge;
6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness;
7 And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
8 For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
9 But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins.
The Scripture says, Add to your faith Your faith needs to be added to. Add to your faith. I call these forces faith additives. These forces are important to your faith to make it a living, amazing and mighty faith. When faith exists apart from these forces, it becomes barren and unfruitful and ineffective. We are more than conquerors through Him Who loved us. It is the love of God that made us more than conquerors. Therefore, when these forces faith additives are connected with your faith and you apply yourself to them, you will see your faith producing amazing, astonishing and lasting results.
These forces will nourish your faith to the level of consistent abundance results and thanksgiving to God. These forces connected with faith will undergird your faith; in other words, your faith will be held together and bind about thus preventing it from falling apart. This ensures that your faith does not fail. Your faith can be failure proof when you add to you it. These spiritual forces will bring and sustain your faith to the level it becomes great and perpetually productive.
