to Reign Not Survive Bible reading: 1 John 5
Memory verse: 1 John 5:4, “For everyone who has been born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.”
The church is called to reign in life not to survive on earth. There is nothing in our spiritual DNA that makes us the underdogs. The father of all lies has been lying to us and we believe. If you are truly born again then you are an overcomer. You are better than the most connected unbeliever in the world, because all the help you need is in Christ Jesus. God the Father is the best connection anyone can have on earth. Let this great truth dawn on you and live by it.
You may say you don’t have faith but that is not truth. Everyone has the same measure of faith deposited in us once we get born again. Jesus is the author and finisher of our faith. This means that he produced it in us when we got born again and he will complete the work of faith in us. So, stop looking at what you can do for yourself but what he has done for you. Live by the faith of the Son of God who died and gave his life for you.
