YOU ARE A WINNER…

You are born to win! You are definitely a winner if you have Christ. God went out of His way to make us see that we are winners. We are more than conquerors which means we are more than winners but we can’t find any term to describe what we are. This has nothing to do with how many times we fail or how we feel; it has everything to do with what ultimately happens because of who we are.

Psalm 34: 19 “The righteous person faces many troubles, but the Lord comes to the rescue each time. For the Lord protects the bones of the righteous; not one of them is broken.”

The fact that we are winners has nothing to do with the number of times we fail. No circumstance or situation should be allowed to describe us. Our failures do not make us “a failure,” God has made us winners and even with that challenge, you shall win. It is His word which shall not be broken. The only person that can make the word fail you is you. Not even satan can achieve that without your help.

Romans 8: 37 “No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.”

I recall the number of times Moses went to Pharaoh to ask that the Israelites be set free and failed. Despite the fact that each attempt was at God’s word, he failed; Pharaoh refused to let the people go. It took several attempts for him to finally let them go. Even the Israelites had considered him a failure because they were really upset with him and told him not to return to Pharaoh on their behalf. No wonder the saying “quitters never win and winners never quit.”

I have found that life truly wants to describe us and in a bad way. As a man thinks in his heart so is he. Don’t allow the world, circumstance or situations decide what is on your mind. We have to own our minds and decide what we open the gates to. Even when people speak contrary words to us, we can chose to shut out all the things we are not and God has not said we are. We have to be deliberate concerning what we think about ourselves. 

Philippians 4: 8 “And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.”

We must realize that God gives us our lives like a plain sheet of paper and allows us color it. All He does is, like the parent He is, He guides our hands so that we color correctly. You have the entire sheet of paper in front of you and the crayon for coloring is also in your hands and not the devil’s. You have the power to color because the hands that guide you as you color are very powerful.

Do you remember the children’s poem about Humpty dumpty; the one that fell of the wall; broke his head and all the king’s men could not put him together again? Yes we are not like humpty, dumpty. Even when we fall, we have a God that picks us up. Have you fallen several times or are you falling right now? You are a winner.

Psalm 145: 14 “The Lord helps the fallen and lifts those bent beneath their loads.”
