Meditation For Today June 15, 2018 Topic - HE HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD – COUNT ON IT

-
--> Note :- Are you born again? You are never going to win the battle against the devil if you are not born again. I plead with you to give your life to Jesus today because the longer you stay in sin and remain unsaved, the more hardened your nature becomes against the purpose and the way God wants you to be for His purpose. To give your life to Jesus now, say this prayer: “Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I know that I am a sinner and I cannot save myself but Jesus died for me and shed His blood that I might be saved. Today, I accept Jesus as my Lord and Saviour. Jesus, I ask You to come into my heart, be my Lord, wash me with Your blood and make me whole. I believe with my heart and confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for saving me. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.” I congratulate you and welcome you to the family of God if you have sincerely said that prayer. Now you are fit to discover, know and walk in your destiny.

HE HAS OVERCOME THE WORLD – COUNT ON IT

"Submit therefore to God." - James 4:7

The key starting point in learning how to overcome temptation to sin is to submit your life to God through the person of Jesus Christ.  Now I realize many people have not yet made this decision, so let me tell you how.

You make the decision when you come to intellectually believe what the Bible stays about Jesus– that He is the Son of God, that He died on the cross for your sins, and that He rose from the dead. When you come to believe that and come to believe that He is the source of salvation, you’re taking the first step, but you’re not a Christian yet. 

You become a Christian when you trust Christ enough to submit to Him.  You make yourself subject to Him.  This phrase “subject to” is a military term.  A person in the military is subject to their commanding officer.  When we come to trust Christ we’re saying, “Look. I’m no longer going to live for self or live to please other people.  I’m going to live to please Jesus, to follow Jesus. I’m going to submit to the authority of Jesus. He is my commander.” And this means we submit to the authority of Christ in every area of our life.  We don’t have any secret compartments that are “hands off” to God.  Every single part of our life is submitted to Him.  

And here’s the really good news. When you submit to God through the person of Christ, Christ gives you a gift called the Holy Spirit, the third person of the trinity, who comes to dwell in you. The Spirit then gives you an inner “want to” to obey God.  And that inner “want to” is always going to be stronger than the inner “want to” to lust and to sin. 

But you say, “Well, I still sin even though I made that decision.”  Absolutely!  We’re all going to fail.  We all fall short, but don’t kid yourself.  The Spirit of God, the Spirit who lives within you in Jesus Christ, is stronger than he who is in the world.  He is stronger than any temptation you’re going to face in this world.  Remember, Jesus said, “I have overcome the world.”  Count on it.  Lean into it.  Let Him live through you!
