Victory is yours

 ^““We should live in this evil world with wisdom, righteousness, and devotion to God, while we look forward with hope to that wonderful day when the glory of our great God and Saviour, Jesus Christ, will be revealed.” – Titus 2: 12 – 13

THAT is the way the Apostle Paul put it about 2 000 years ago when he told Titus how the Christians of Crete should live. In more modern parlance, prophet Rick Joyner wrote this week about “training for reigning”. This just goes to show that the more things change, the more God stays the same. Only now, given our circumstances, it is more urgent than ever to practice what we teach and preach.

        God loves us and wants us to live righteously in His eyes, always aware of the hope of glory, but we must be devoted to overcoming daily temptations. Joyner compares us to Olympic athletes; the winners have what it takes but they must be dedicated to training. Victory is the result of our daily maturing and strengthening in the ways Christ has already placed in our hearts.
