Destined to win
Genesis 12:2
I will make you into a great nation, I will bless you
I will make your name great and make you a blessing
The verse above is part of a promise God made to Abraham. If you study Abraham’s life in the bible you will realize that God blessed him abundantly. He:
– Blessed his barren wife with her own son, when she was far past the child bearing age
-He also blessed him with other children
– He had a large flock of livestock and wealth
– He is referred to as the
Father of all nations and the friend of God.
All the things listed above can be found in the book of Genesis. The promise is still relevant to all Christians and the children of God.
God has blessed each of us with:
-the gift of salvation which entitles us to an inheritance of eternal life in heaven if we stay faithful to Him to the end.(Revelation 2:10)
-with forgiveness of sins when we confess them (1 John 1:9)
– with healing when we are sick (Isaiah 53:5)
-with prosperity and good success if we study His word and obey what it says (Joshua 1:8)
-with long life if we honor our parents ( Deuteronomy 5:16)
There are many other blessings in the bible that would make us great and a blessing to others. We are destined to win in all situations
1 Peter 2:9
But you are a chosen people, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s special possession, that you may declare the praises of Him who called you out.
In this verse from the new testament God explains why we are destined to win. We are
a chosen people, a royal priesthood, God’s special possession.
We are therefore destined to win. It does not matter if things are not in our favor, or we have failed or been defeated several times. God knows how to make us win no matter what happens. Philippians 1:21 says
For me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. This should be every Christian’s attitude. God will certainly work things out because we are destined to win.
God be with you
How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Study the bible and obey what it says.
Prayer

Till the battle is over
We are destined to win
