What does it take to live a victorious life?
1. Faith
Faith is the complete trust in God that He will take care of your life and He will lead your life daily. This does not depend on how you feel and how other people feel about your situation or circumstances of life. Feelings are based on moods and the five senses of how we feel, however faith works beyond how does one feel. Onne Vegter says "In the modern world, many things work with passwords. To switch on a computer, you need a password. To draw money from the bank or teller machine you need a password." Faith is the password for a successful Christian life and living a victorious life. Faith is like a key you can use to open other closed doors in your life - it is the Master key.
There are times in our lives where you do not use any key, but a master key. Especially when times are hard, complicated and tough moments of our lives. When things seems to be falling apart and when friends seems do be dwindling in numbers. The master key FAITH works wonders in these seasons.
"Now faith is the substance of things hped for,the evidence of things not seen" Heb 11:1 (KJV)
2. Positive Thinking
There is nothing as discouraging and disheartening as people who sit and dwell on negative thinking. These people they are never solution orientated, they are constantly focused on their problems. You initiate a project the first thing they think about is how impossible it is to complete the project, where are you going to get money to run the project. They are never thinking solutions.
You want to be a winner in life, you desire to live a victorious life, teach and discipline your mind to think positively. One of the things can help us to keep thinking positively is the Word of God. The world is looking for men and women who think positively, who will remain solution orientated regardless how hopeless the circumstances can be and regardless of what people are saying about the current bad situations we are living in. Positive thinkers they have the attitude of; it is possible and it can be done. Even if it takes a long time to accomplish it all needs commitment till the matter is done.
3. Discipline your mind
The scriptures says "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is good and acceptable and perfect will of God."
Romans 12:2.
Living a victorious life does not only depend of FAITH and positive thinking, however it needs these two important things: RENEWAL and TRANSFORMATION of mind. As Christians, victorious life becomes a day to day life once there is a daily renewal of thinking. This simply means we allow the WORD of God to order our steps and we allow His word to saturates our minds. The moment the word of God fills our minds transformation will take place without any hassle. This means a change of mind set. We do not think like victims but like victors, we do not behave like weaklings but warriors.
Disciplining one's mind is not easy as one can think or imagine. It takes courage and conviction about things you want to change in your life. It takes hard work and relying upon the word of God that will results in transformation. Even when being enticed by things of the world, you still commit your self to that which you want to achieve. Discipline is not for the fainthearted, but for the champions and warriors of there own destiny.
4. Pray & God's word
One cannot deny that we need God in our day to day life, this is the truth that the world don't want to hear. We think we can do better in life without prayer and the Word of God. The moment we think we can do that we are simply saying to God we can actually manage without you. The truth need to be told, the moment we stopped morning prayers in our schools we have witnessed bad and filthy things done in our schools. This is because we have taken God out of our schools.
Prayer is just another key to unlock the blessings and the success of our lives. When we begin to call on God through pray, we are basically asking heaven to intervene on the earthly matters we are struggling with on daily basis. Prayer is a sign of depended upon God, that without Him we know that we cannot make it, we need Him to be successful and victorious in our lives.
We cannot talk about victory unless there a battle to fight. We can then only win our battles and wars through the sword of the Spirit which is the word of God. We therefore, need His word on daily basis in order to live a victorious life. The word of God is our shield and fortress. Victorious life is feasible through the presence of the active word and the Rhema word of God. We need the proceeding word of God to live victoriously, we must depend upon the now word of God.
