Faith overcomes this world.

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.” 
1 John 5:4(KJV)

From our opening scripture, we can see that we already have in us the ability to succeed. There is no more failure in us. To overcome the world means, 'to get the victory over the world.' So, as children of God, we are already victorious over the world.

To overcome the world also means, 'to subdue the world.' That means you can subdue your world as a child of God. When you look at the negative situation in the country, in your state or even in your street. You make your declaration as a world overcomer and say, “I am going to change this.” Someone else may hear you say that and then ask, “What change can you bring?” They do not understand that leadership begins with a sense of responsibility. Leaders initiate change.

So, how can you bring a change. First by praying. When you hear a negative report, your first reaction should be to pray. Secondly, live honestly and expose the deeds of evil around you. Don't be a party to corruption and wickedness. If you are not born again, get born again; make Jesus your Lord and personal savior. And if you were born again and you have been living in sin and darkness, it is time to repent. Romans 13:12(DRB) says, “The night is passed And the day is at hand. Let us, therefore cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light.” Then Romans 13:13-14(ISV) says, “Let us behave decently, as people who live in the light of day. No wild
parties, drunkenness, sexual immorality, promiscuity, rivalry, or jealousy! Instead, clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ, and do not obey your flesh and its desires.”

Thirdly, preach the gospel. Pass this message to those out there who have not heard it. Let them know that God loves them and He is willing to accept them unconditionally if only they will come to Him for salvation. He will save them and make them champions of positive change in our world today. Fourthly, join us as we continue to preach the gospel through every available means, until every sphere of society reflects the character of the kingdom of God.

PRAYER
Dear Father today I repent and forsake every form of compromise in my life. I choose the way of the Lord and to walk according to the gospel of Jesus Christ and His will in Jesus Name. Amen.
