From Our Pastor's Desk - December is Our Month of Victory At Last

Welcome to this Our New Month of Victory At Last, in Jesus name.

The Bible uses many terms to describe those who have entered into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. For instance, we are called Christians.
We are also called the children of God; children of light; children of obedience etc.

But there is another title John used, and it is the title “Overcomers”. 1st John 5:4 – “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith”

This Scripture depicts our victorious lives. Over-comer literally means victor. One of the truths about a Christian believer is that he is in Christ.

The Believer is in an indivisible union with Christ Himself and as a result, is a partaker of His divine nature.

He partakes of everything that Christ is and has, including His inheritance, righteousness, death, life, and Spirit. Since Christ is a victor, we par-take of His victory.

The believer then, is a victor. Those who have been born of God are true overcomers, conquerors, victors.  Brethren, this last 2017 month of Victory At Last, we have victory over satan (Rev. 11:12 - "They overcame him by the blood of the lamb…”); over death (1st Cor.15:54 – “…Death is swallowed up in victory”); and over the world (1st John 5:4 – "Whatever is born of God overcometh the world") through Jesus Christ, our Lord & Savior, in Jesus Name.
Amen.
