THOSE WHO FIGHT TO WIN

Whether you appear disadvantaged or are disadvantaged, you must still come with only one goal: running the table and winning it all.

The God of the Bible has no 'Diversity, Equity and Inclusivity' programs, only victory parades and welfare programs. The choice is ours.

That is why God equips and empowers His children with everything we need always to be victorious. Losing sometimes is not an option. The path He charts before us is continuous victory and progressive escalation with His unwavering support.

'Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. ' - Romans 8:37

'But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. ' - 1 Corinthians 15:57

'Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place. ' - 2 Corinthians 2:14

'He that overcometh shall inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. ' - Revelation 21:7

I am not happy to be the bearer of discouraging news, but looking at all four scripture references above, you begin to deduce that God designed the world as a winner-takes-all arrangement. The winner then benevolently leaves crumbs for the loser to survive until they figure out how to win.

There are no middle points. The winner shall "INHERIT ALL THINGS."

Your win doesn't have to be anyone else's loss, but your focus should be on the man or woman in the mirror winning the segment of God's vision assigned to you while the other side reaches for God's help to do the same. God gave you two eyes to look out for only one thing at a time; if you decide that focusing on your opponent, not losing, is more important than you winning, you are about to learn the hard way about the God who would rather you be hot or cold, on this side or the other, He doesn't do middle points.

If words like winning, conqueror, victorious, overcomer, success, wealthy, and rich offend or make you uncomfortable, you have some primary growing to do. The Holy Spirit, who resides and rules in the hearts of all believers, has filled the Bible with these words for a reason.

Some insist that we can't always be winners, but God's word seems to disagree because He will never ask us to do impossible things. It is doable if He demands it.

Since God has billions of purposes, causes, and objectives running at all times, it is possible for two parties engaged in the same battle to fight for two different versions of victory and to both achieve them. While one party winning and the other losing is the more traditionally accepted outcome, it is also possible they both fail to achieve God's envisioned outcome for them.

Let your goal not be the winning of human applause but winning with, through and for God so you can inherit all things, including prizes that weren't up for grabs at the beginning of the battle.

Today, tomorrow, and always, you are a winner in Jesus' mighty name.

#Amen
