WALKING IN THE VICTORY OF GOD'S WAYS

  


In the book of Deuteronomy 28:1-14, we are reminded that as believers, when we walk in obedience to God's commands, we will experience victory in every area of our lives. The LORD promises to bless us abundantly if we adhere to His commandments and follow His ways. It is important for us to remember that our victory ultimately comes from God, and it is through Him that we can overcome every challenge or obstacle that we encounter.


Walking in the victory of God's ways as amplified by 1 Corinthians 15:57 entails being thankful and appreciative of all that He gives to us. Since, the power to be victorious is not concocted by our own strength, it is often expected that we show appreciation to the one who made them all possible. We must however not forget that each victory stride is made available through the Power in Jesus Name.


As obedient people of God, walking in faith while adhering to God's instruction is non-negotiable. As the LORD instructed In Joshua 1:8 saying, "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success", it is pertinent that meditate on God's word because it is only on this premise that good success which is the victory we desire is guaranteed. 


Proverbs 3:5-6 also beams the light on the need to trust in the Lord with all our hearts and lean not on our own understanding. When we acknowledge God in all our ways, He promises to direct our paths and lead us in the way of victory. It is through our complete dependence on Him that we can experience the triumph that comes from walking in His ways.


In Romans 8:37, the apostle Paul declares, "Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us." This powerful verse serves as a reminder that no matter what challenge or trial we face, we are assured of victory through Jesus Christ, who overcame the world, if we continually walk in His love. Walking in His love does not lead us into sin. It does compel us to depart from the way of righteousness either. It encourages us to take more steps with the master as He leads the ways. When we abide in His love and walk in His ways, we can confidently declare that we are more than conquerors.


Walking in the victory of God's ways requires a steadfast and unwavering commitment to follow Him. As Psalms 18:32 proclaims, "It is God that girdeth me with strength, and maketh my way perfect." When we allow God to strengthen us and guide us in His ways, we can be assured of victory in every aspect of our lives.


So therefore, as believers, let us remember that we are called to walk in the victory of God's ways by trusting in His Word, obeying His commandments, and relying on His strength. Let us be guided by the words in Isaiah 55:8-9 where the LORD says "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts". If we desire to walk in the way of the LORD, we must follow Christ Jesus. 


Will you?


If you do, your path will be fill

ed with triumph.

DO NOT DEPAIR

Having found out whom God is... DO NOT DESPAIR TEXT: PSALM 13:1-6 Key verse: “How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?” (Psalm 13:1) . Life throws up new challenges every day. This often makes the believer begin to think that God had abandoned him. Except he rouses himself up, he would become discouraged and lose all hope that help would ever come to him. David got to that point many times in his numerous battles in life. He probably prayed and fasted for long periods, but the onslaught of the enemy did not end. He was running out of options, hence he spoke in desperation to God. He seemed to conclude that He had forsaken him and wondered how long God would hide himself, and how long he was going to be abandoned to himself, getting ever more sorrowful daily. He was troubled that the enemy seemed to be triumphing over him; ...

NO SHORTCUT

If it is to be done aright, be rest assured that there is... NO SHORTCUT BELIEVERS' DIGEST PUBLICATION Bible Reading: 1 KINGS 15:16-24 Key Verse: “There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me” (1 Kings 15:19). Men always seek shortcut to success in life. Rather than live by God’s righteous standard, they seek to achieve success by any means possible. They justify their action by arguing that the end does indeed justify the means. This is despite their moral failings and character flaws, all of which contravene God’s expectations from His children. Such was the beginning of the end for King Asa, who had begun well to rule Judah and had introduced gr...

A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE

WINNERS' INTEREST PUBLICATION A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 3:19-21 (KJV) Key Verse: “And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground” (1 Samuel 3:19). The world, in which we live today is filled with corrupting influences. This forms the basis of God's call to His people to rise as rare treasures of purity and power. A “Gem of Spectacular Influence” is not an ordinary person. It describes a believer whose life carries unique, enduring value that transcends fleeting worldly trends. Like a precious gem that retains its brilliance even in darkness, such a life reflects resolute determination to pursue excellence in glorifying God, undimmed by surrounding negativity. The story of Samuel powerfully illustrates this truth. Raised in the tabernacle at Shiloh under the aged priest Eli, Samuel was surrounded by evil practices. Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were notorious for ...
