Take Note II

“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne” Rev.3:21[KJV]

Take note, it is God that will give you victory! [Deu.20:4] . Another thing you should take note of is this; in the Book of Revelations Jesus kept saying, “to him that overcometh I will give…” [cf.: Rev. 2:7, 17& 26; 3:21]. It is a recurrent theme in the Book of Revelations. If Jesus says there is a reward for those that overcome, it means that there is something to overcome. If there is going to be victory, it means there is going to be battle. But the assurance we have in God is that we are going to come out victorious. So the focus is not the battle, the focus is the victory.

I do not know what you have lost or where you have suffered loss. But again I tell you, what you are gaining is greater than what you have lost. This year, the reward of faithfulness will be so satisfying. It would be like the scripture that says, “When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion, we were like them that dream. Then was our mouth filled with laughter, and our tongue with singing…” Ps.126:1-2 [KJV]. So there will be conflict but victory is assured. God has a lot to teach us about how to be victorious in every area of our lives, in our health, our finances, our relationships, our careers, our businesses, and even in this nation Nigeria. So stay tuned.

What victory does is it gives you influence. For example, if during the football season one particular player scores a lot of goals, he is considered victorious. Guess what happens? He becomes influential. People begin to buy his T-shirts. Take note, influence comes with victory. As you become victorious, you become influential. As your business becomes victorious, your business becomes influential. As your life becomes victorious, your life becomes influential and you will begin to take territories. Territories will be released to you because of the victories that will come your way.

The beauty about victory is that if you have victory in a key area of life, it gives you influence even in other areas of life. If you breakthrough and you have victory in your spiritual walk, it gives you influence even financially, influence even emotionally, and influence even relationally.  Victory in one key area of your life gives you influence across board. Take note!

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to experience victory with You just as Jacob did and cause me to have influence across board in my life, in Jesus Name.
