We need an Overcomer’s Mentality

In the race of life, defeat should never be an option.

We always need an overcomer’s mentality to live a triumphant life. When we see our lives in the light of Scriptures, working towards its actualisation becomes a delight and an easy task. Proverbs 23:7 says: For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he…

The ten spies that were sent to search the Promised Land in Numbers 14 lost their inheritance because they did not have this mentality. They saw themselves as small and inadequate, so they truly became inadequate to fight the battle against their enemies. Likewise, in the body of Christ, many are victims of the mentality they possess. Today, that feeling of inadequacy is destroyed in Jesus’ name!

Avoid Human Alternatives

No man’s help can take us to where God can. Human alternatives are the worst enemies of faith. This is because God will never share His glory with any man; He is either our only source of hope, or not at all.

“My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.” Psalm 62:5

When we enslave ourselves to any man or other alternatives, God lets go and watches how far we can go without Him. I am not saying God does not bring men our way to help us. Yes, He does but He cannot bear us substituting His place for them. Unfortunately, we live in a society that depends so much on human connection for success. Most people, even faith-believing Christians, think they need to have an option when dealing with God. In case God does not act quickly enough, they execute their options. However, the Bible says in Matthew 6:22:

“The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.”

The more committed we are to God, the surer we are of His interventions.

Locate the Word for that Situation

We must search for the appropriate Word of God that guarantees the fulfillment of our expectation because until we locate what is written, we cannot influence what is happening. What is written concerning our situation in the Word of God puts us automatically in charge of the situation.

From Hebrews 11:3, we understand that everything was made by the Word of God. If this is so, it means that anything we address by the Word of God must obey, because the Word formed it (John 1:1-3).

We must Employ our Faith

This implies putting our faith to work. We are not permitted to quit or draw back. Bible faith is the only force that will give us command over life’s challenges. It is the only force that can generate supernatural change of levels. We cannot have faith and fear what others fear or die the way they do; it puts us supernaturally in command.

Wisdom demands that we get connected to men of faith and we will find ourselves supernaturally swimming in that realm. Receive grace to connect to this realm of faith in Jesus’ name!…
