In 1993, Frank Reich made News headlines by orchestrating the biggest comeback in history of America’s National football league.
Frank Reich is celebrated as one of America’s greatest football players ever. He began making history, while still a student of the University of Maryland. In 1984, he led his college team to the biggest comeback win in college football history.
Then just nine years later, in January 1993, Frank Reich again led the biggest comeback game in the history of NFL.
This remarkable game took place in November 1993 between the Buffalo Bills and the Houston Oilers.
In the first and second half of the game, Frank’s team, the Buffalo Bills had done very poorly. Their opponents, the Houston Oilers were dominating the game with a big gap. To everyone watching the game, it appeared the Buffalos were about to lose the game. But Frank, as a Christian with strong faith in God, refused to accept defeat or give up hope.
Though, his team’s scores were down, and it seemed all hope was lost, Frank relied on Christ for a miracle.
Close to the end of the game, the Houston Oilers had 35 points, while Frank’s team, the Buffalos, had only 3 points. At this point, many disappointed Buffalo Bills fans, began leaving the stadium and heading home.
But then, suddenly, the game miraculously changed.
In a span of only 6 minutes and 52 seconds, Frank Reich scored points that drastically cut down the gaping gap between them and the Houston Oilers. In a blink of an eye, the Buffalo Bills not only equalized, but also went ahead to win the game with 41 points while the Houston Oilers had 38 points.
It was a win that stunned every spectator in the stadium! This match made history as the largest come-from-behind victory. It is a game now simply known as ‘The Comeback.’
Ever since then, Frank Reich has been wildly celebrated for his amazing winning streak. But he continually gives all the glory to God for always granting him victory and dominion even in the face of impossible odds.
While it is true that we are bound to sometimes encounter tough situations, but much more important is the fact that through Christ we are destined to triumph in the end.
Therefore we must not vacillate in our belief when we face tough battles. As long as we remain strong in faith, it is only a matter of time before things miraculously turn around.
When David was anointed king over all Judah and Israel, he faced a battle at the Valley of Rephaim, which means “giants.” He was faced by enemies that were greater than him. But as David prayed, God gave him dominion and victory over the Philistines. David then renamed the valley of giants and called it Baal-perazim, which means “the God of the breakthrough.”
Through faith in God, we can defeat giants and experience breakthroughs instead of breakdowns.
No matter how tough the battle that faces us, because we are born of God we are born to overcome.
Dominion is the heritage of every child of God.
This is what Christ purchased for us at Calvary by His Blood. According to Revelation 5:9-10, He has redeemed us to be kings and to reign on the earth. Christ shed His Blood to ensure we are never victims, but rather victors in life.
We are not meant to suffer defeat because it is God’s plan to always make our enemies our footstool.[ Psalm 110:1-2 ].
We are to be the head and not the tail, above only and never beneath. We are redeemed to dominate over life’s challenges and over every negative thing. That is our portion as children of God.
The top is where we belong by destiny, we need to be very conscious of this fact, and know what it takes to get there. Our level of dominion is a function of our depth of understanding about our position in Christ.
Knowledge of God’s Word makes us partakers of His divine nature and this is what gives us dominion on the earth. Just as God cannot suffer defeat, His children are not meant to be defeated.
In this new month of July, it is our season to experience victory and dominion. In this second half of the year, we are going to see turnaround miracles that cannot be explained.
No matter any defeat you may have suffered in the first half of the year, it is your season to experience miraculous victory.. Let us therefore keep giving God all the glory for it is indeed our season to emerge triumphant over every challenge.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for bringing me into this New month of July. By Your grace I shall have the dominion over every challenge and emerge as more than a conqueror in every battle in Jesus Name. .
