Topic: The Winning Way

Text: Romans 8:37

For 38 long years, a man lay at the pool of Bethesda, waiting for a miracle that seemed perpetually out of reach. Yet, he refused to give up. And that's the secret to winning: unwavering perseverance. The Bible says, "The people who will win are the people who will not give up."

You see, to be a winner means God is with you. He's been fighting for you, orchestrating events behind the scenes to bring you out on top. What you see now is not how it was in the beginning when God created you. His agenda for you was never failure or victimhood, but VICTORY. It's written in Exodus 14:14, "The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still."

Whatever you're facing today - financial struggles, relationship turmoil, health issues, or spiritual battles - know that God is with you and for you. Those who win have an unshakeable consciousness: God is with them. They know they're not victims of circumstance, but victors in Christ.

Look at David (1 Samuel 16). Who would've thought the youngest son of Jesse, a shepherd boy, would become Israel's greatest king? God saw something in David that others didn't - a heart after His own. While others abandoned him, God was training him, preparing him for greatness. You might feel abandoned, neglected, or overlooked, but God is working behind the scenes, bringing you out of the wilderness into your promised land.

Satan is too small to stress God with your problems. Your challenges are not too big for God to handle. As 1 Samuel 17 shows us, David faced Goliath, a giant of a man, but he knew God was bigger. "The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine" (1 Samuel 17:37). David's words were laced with faith, and that's what brought the miracle.

When you're passing through challenges, your words determine what God does about the situation. Positivity births miracles. Declare like David, "God is with me!" As a winner, you must know this truth: God is with you, and that's your winning way.

Giving up? That's not an option. Giving up is failure. David didn't give up; he faced giants with God. You won't be alone in this journey; God is training you ahead of that position, that breakthrough, that victory. Say it to yourself: "I am more than a conqueror (Romans 8:37). I am more than what I'm passing through!"

You've got this! You're a winner, and your time is now! Your winning way is not just a possibility; it's a certainty because God is with you!

PRAYER: Lord, I know You are with me. Father, see me through. I must not be a victim; I must be a Victor in Jesus' name. I declare victory, breakthrough, and success in every area of my life. Amen.
