1 John 5:4 ‘for everyone born of God overcomes the world’
- DAILY READING – – Luke 19:28-48; Genesis 34; Psalm 26
The 2010 blockbuster movie, ‘secretariat’ was based on the true story of a race horse by that name, born in 1973, whose owner risked everything for her faith in the horse’s ability to win. Her faith was founded on the fact that the horse came from a blood line of champions. And true to her belief, the horse eventually became an astounding winner and one of the greatest race horses in world history. Secretariat could win, because it was fathered by a horse named ‘Bold Ruler’, who also was a winner. Bold ruler had won the Preakness Stakes and Horse of the Year honors in 1957, and American Champion Sprint Horse honors in 1958.
It’s a proven fact that the fastest race horses in the world, often come from generation of champions. Horse owners understand that winners don’t just randomly happen, it is in their DNA. This is why before buying a horse, they do a careful research to find out about the horse’s history and bloodline. And when a horse comes from a bloodline of winners, though it may initially appear weak, the owners are not bothered, because they are confident that inside of it is the DNA of a champion. Typically, Secretariat also went on to produce children who became winners. Some notable racehorses such as Storm Cat, A.P. Indy, Gone West, Dehere, Chief’s Crown, and many modern race winners were sired by Secretariat .
Likewise, as believers, a study of our spiritual bloodline, show that we are born to win. We carry the DNA of the Almighty God. The blood of Jesus who is the ultimate winner is inside of us.
Revelation 12:11 says ‘And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they did not love their lives to the death’
When you are born of God, you are born to overcome. We come from the bloodline of champions. So it doesn’t matter what your present circumstances look like, there is the blood of a winner inside of you.
1 John 5:4 says ‘for everyone born of God overcomes the world’
It doesn’t matter the struggles you may presently have, what supersedes all of that is the DNA of a champion in you. There is clearly no battle that is beyond you. If it was beyond you, God would not have allowed it to come your way. God knows your capacity as a winner. You carry the blood of the ultimate champion. You are the head and never the tail; above only and never beneath. Challenges may come; the sea may be raging violently, the storm may be tempestuous, but in all these things, you are more than a conqueror. The greater One lives in you. Therefore, no situation is permitted to defeat you. Your case cannot be closed until you decide to close it.
Whatever you may be faced with today, understand that you are born to win. You are fighting, not for victory, but from victory. Victory is already in you by reason of Christ’s blood.The Goliath facing you today may look like a champion, but like David, you are the one with the heart of the champion. Therefore begin to declare your victory over every challenge. And as you begin to confess your victory by the blood, every of Goliath will surely fall. Indeed by reason of the blood of Jesus, we are assured of everlasting victory in every battle.
PRAYER: Father please help me to begin to live in the consciousness of the victory I have through Christ Jesus. Today, by the blood of Jesus I claim my victory over everything challenging my glorious destiny in Jesus Name.
