Vision of Victory
“When Jesus birthed His
Church, He intended for her to rule and
reign with
Him throughout eternity.”
Jesus Christ came to earth with a
vision of victory. His vision included personal victory
for Himself and victory for the Church that He intended
to build.
To have victory, one must have
opposition. Jesus faced opposition! He faced opposition
from spirit beings and human beings. He went face to
face with Satan and did not bat an eye. In their One on
one encounter, Jesus defeated Satan with the power of
the Spirit and the truth of God. He then went about in
the power of the Spirit and, with the truth of God,
destroyed the works of Satan in the lives of all who
responded in faith. He also began gathering and
training disciples who would be the nucleus of the
Church that He was about to birth, the Church that
would carry on His work in victory. He taught His
disciples truth and prepared them to receive the Spirit
of God in power. He knew that they would need both to
experience victory.
Jesus was victorious in every part
of His life’s work on earth. To make sure that
His Church would carry on His work in victory, He gave
her all that she would need. He gave His life for her;
He gave her His Spirit, authority, and power; He gave
her His Word of truth; He gave her spiritual leaders;
and He gave her His prayer for unity. From the throne
of God, He ever lives to make intercession for her.
When Jesus birthed His Church, He
intended for her to rule and reign with Him throughout
eternity. Well, nearly two thousand years have passed,
and from time to time, parts of the Church have
fulfilled her Lord’s vision for victory. But the
Church as a whole has not at any one time walked in the
fullness of the Lord’s vision of victory. Some,
maybe many, do not think that it will take place until
the Lord returns. I am fully convinced that certain
things will not, and can not, take place until the Lord
returns, but I also believe with all my heart that
there is much more that we can do and experience in
victory.
I encourage those who have ears to
hear to do two things. First, begin seeking God in
prayer for a vision of victory; ask the Lord Jesus to
share His vision with you. Secondly, begin studying the
Word of God in earnest concerning the Church that Jesus
is building. The Lord will reward your search. You will
find that the Church is called to victory. Let’s
begin declaring victory in Jesus! Let’s sing
victory in Jesus! Let’s unite in Christ and
experience victory in Jesus! God bless His victorious
Church!

BIBLICAL APPLICATION:
But thanks be to God! He gives us
the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore,
my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you.
Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord,
because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in
vain.
