How Do We Obtain Victory?

2 Corinthians 2:14 "But thanks be to God who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of Him."

Say for example, I would like to own a pair of white Nike Running Shoes, how do I go about doing it?

Well, I call it the 6 steps to own a pair of White Nike Running Shoes, we will :
1) Head down to a Nike Shop
2) Look for a Running Shoe
3) Make Sure its white in color
4) Check out the price
5) Pay for it
6) Bring it home

Easy isnt it? But provided the price is right, the shoe size is available, you brought money along, you cannot bring the shoes home.

Well, in most leadership conferences and self-help book, they too offer steps to obtain victory in life, to obtain finanacial freedom, to be the top performer etc. And more often than not, they are good practical steps in obtaining victory and success.

These are good. But let's say if someone you know comes along, carrying a pair of Nike running shoes, white in color, exactly the size you need and having already paid for it, he/she give it to you. All you got to do is to just take it home.

My friends, it is the same as with the Lord. The bible says that the Lord gives us victory. He GIVES, meaning to say that HE has already got the right size, the right color and paid for it and He gives it to us. All we got to do is to just bring it home.

So let us not fret and worry about finding the right ways and methods to obtain victory. We do get frustrated and somewhat discouraged when we fail to see ourselves improve.

But when we turn to God and seeks His face, the bible says "ALL these things that you need in your life will be added onto you" Matthew 6:33. It does not just say provided but added onto what you already have received, it becomes Your thirty-fold, sixty-fold, hundred-fold.

So beloved, seek God and rest in His promises for you and I. Praise the Lord!
