Topic: Ingredients for Winning [TREM 25 August 2018 Daily Devotional]

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony, and they loved not their lives unto the death”. Revelation 12:11

You are redeemed with the precious blood of the lamb without spot. If you walk in the light as He is in the light, the blood of Jesus cleanses you from all unrighteousness. Always lean on what Christ did on your behalf through His death, burial and resurrection because it’s not about what you do but about what He has done. If you try to leverage on what you have done or what you will do, you will always see weakness and failure. But it is what He has done. What He has done is completely complete and perfectly perfect.

The second ingredient is the word of your testimony. Testimony is of two sides. One is the testimony of God’s goodness upon your life. Many often do not testify. There is a lot of protection that you get by testifying among the saints of the goodness of God on your behalf. Some of you allow the devil to deceive you and say” don’t tell them. If you tell them witches will take it away from you. That’s a lie! Testimonies make you whole. God does extra for you when you testify.

The second aspect of testimony is to call the things that be not as though they were. Declare what God said concerning your life. You shall have whatsoever you say. What are you saying and what are you believing? Don’t be afraid to say it. Let them call you names. You will laugh last. When you begin to speak, what God wants you to speak, everything will be gravitating towards it.

And the third ingredient is that they loved not their lives unto the death. This means commitment. Commitment is the third winning ingredient and it is what God is asking from us. You are guaranteed that when you stand for God you will never lose.
