The Winning Approach

You've probably heard it said, "It's in the hands of God whether we will be winners or losers."

Do you believe that?

I don't!

Man was created to be a winner. The Bible tells us so! We read in Genesis, for example, that man was originally put on this earth to have dominion over the work of God's hands. God gave him dominion over the earth and everything that crept, flew, crawled and breathed there. In fact, man didn't even know what losing was until he separated himself from God through disobedience in the Garden of Eden. When that happened, man plunged into the defeat realm. He had not choice but to accept failure as his lot in life, as a result of the disobedience. This demoted man to a subordinate position—a position he was never meant to occupy.
It's a sad story. But if you're a born-again child of God, I have good news for you. Your story has a happy ending. Through faith in Christ Jesus

You've been transformed from the inside out. You've been made a winner once again!
You cannot know this by feeling nor thinking. You can only know this from God's Word alone. You might be thinking, I don't feel like a winner! I feel like a loser—and I have plenty of failures in my life to prove it! If that's the case, don't worry. You just need a new attitude. And you can get it from the Word of God.

In the book of Romans, Apostle Paul told the Church not to be conformed to this world but to be transformed by the renewing of their mind that they may prove the perfect, good and acceptable will of God.
   
Rom 12:2 - KJV
 And be not conformed to this world [FAILURE]: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind [WITH GOD'S WORD], that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

I am reminded here of a king who wanted to fight a battle but his soldiers were so filled with the fear of loosing the battle. On the contrary, the king wanted to persuade them to fight the battle for he knew they will win if only they fought with enthusiasm. he then told his disciples that he has a 'MAJIC COIN' and if he will win a battle the side of the coin that will face up when it is tossed will be the eagle and if they will lose the battle the part of the coin that will face up will be the bear i.e the coin has two sides (eagle and bear side). He then called all his soldiers together and tossed the coin three times in their presence, in which the eagle side of the coin showed up those three times. The 'majic coin' indicated  that they would win the battle. This really encouraged the soldiers and they went with the King to fight the battle and WON.

After the battle the King revealed to them that it was not a  'majic coin' and as a matter of fact the two sides of the coin are both "eagle'. There is no bear side of the coin.

This is the POWER OF A WINNING MINDSET.

Jesus said all things are possible for him that BELIEVETH (Mark 9:22). There are about 365 places in the scriptures that tells us to 'FEAR NOT'.
   

Brethren, if a man is in Christ He is a new creature (2 Cor 5:17), failure, negativity is passed away. All things have become new.

Ps 91:14-16 - MSG
14 "If you'll hold on to me for dear life," says GOD, "I'll get you out of any trouble. I'll give you the best of care if you'll only get to know and trust me.  Call me and I'll answer, be at your side in bad times; I'll rescue you, then throw you a party.  I'll give you a long life, give you a long drink of salvation!"

Ps 91:14-16 - NET
The LORD says, “Because he is devoted to me, I will deliver him;  I will protect him because he is loyal to me.  When he calls out to me, I will answer him.  I will be with him when he is in trouble; I will rescue him and bring him honor. I will satisfy him with long life, and will let him see my salvation.
 
Ps 91:14-16 - TLB

Ps 91:14-16 - GNT
God says, "I will save those who love me and will protect those who acknowledge me as LORD.

Zech 2:4-5 - NIV

and said to him: "Run, tell that young man, 'Jerusalem will be a city without walls because of the great number of men and livestock in it. And I myself will be A WALL OF FIRE (PROTECTION) around it,' declares the LORD, 'and I will be its glory within.'

Ps 107:19-20- NIV

Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, and he saved them from their distress.  20 He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.

Ps 103:2-5 - NIV

Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits —  who forgives all your sins and HEALS ALL YOUR DISEASES,   who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion,  who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's.

A Sinner's Prayer to Receive Jesus as Savior - Christianity

A Sinner's Prayer to Receive Jesus as Savior

Dear Heavenly Father ...

I come to You in the Name of Jesus.

Your Word says, "... him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out" (John 6:37), so I know You won't cast me out, but You take me in and I thank you for it.

You said in Your Word, "Whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved" (Rom. 10:13). I am calling on Your name, so I know You have saved me now.

You also said "if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" (Rom. 10:9,10). I believe in my heart Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe that He was raised from the dead for my justification, and I confess Him now as my Lord. Because Your Word says, "... with the heart man believeth unto righteousness ..." and I do believe with my heart, I have now become the righteousness of God in Christ (2 Cor. 5:21)... And I am saved!

Thank You Lord!

The Master Plan

The Master Plan

John 10:10  -The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have [it] more abundantly.

Gen 2:16 And the LORD God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.


It was never God's plan for man die neither was it in his plan for man to suffer, lack etc. Gods will for man was to dwell in the realm of abundance (abundant life). This was the master plan. In the beginning when God finished he creation of the heavens and earth he gave man total dominion of his works and made him king on earth.
This is Gods master plan for man to represent him here on earth. to be the God of this world.


However man betrayed God's trust by disobeying the commandment of God and sold his birthright to Satan making Satan the god of this world. He handed over the keys of life to Satan by disobeying the Word of God.


Gen 3:6 - And when the woman saw that the tree {knowledge of good and evil} [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.


This resulted in the death of Man. Man fell from the realm of abundance to the realm of poverty, lack, sickness, hatred, sin, folly etc

Gods master plan is still valid even till today. God has not changed and wll never change his mind/master plan.

Because of this God sent his only begotten son to this world to die for our sins and restore the master plan. Thank God this master plan has been restored even though we do not see it now, it has been restored.

it is our duty as Christians to renew our mind to His Word. this is the way we can come to terms with God as touching his great plan for humanity. Beloved every man in Christ has free access to abundant life. the abundant life cannot be exhausted. it is abundant, overflowing, eternal, without end (everlasting).

There is health, wealth, grace, security, favour, help, breakthrough, etc in this life given by Christ Jesus. Go for the abundant life now, take it! it is yours!

The devil is the thief that comes to prevent people from seeing/taking this abundant life.

Take it, it is yours.
Take all that God has for you


Believers prayer: Father, I know that you sent you son Jesus Christ for me to have abundant life. I take possession of this abundant life for it belongs to me in Jesus Name. I refuse to settle for less than what you planned for me. I walk in your perfect plan for my life. I walk in abundance.

Understanding Salvation

Understanding Salvation
The story of mankind as found in the Bible (book of Genesis) is a fascinating one that you will want to read for yourself. Although science may lead us to believe that we came from some single-celled life form in the sea, the Bible tells us otherwise. In the Bible, you will find that God created man separately from other life. He created two people—one male, whom He called Adam, and one female, whom Adam called Eve. When Adam and Eve walked the earth, things were harmonious and peaceful. The Lord
