Good morning, victorious ones!
YOU ARE GOD’S CHAMPION! “Who me?” “Yes, YOU!” YOU ARE GOD’S CHAMPION and the apple of His eye (Zechariah 2:8; Psalm 17:8). He has YOU engraved on the palms of His hands (Isaiah 49:16).
A CHAMPION OF GOD has certain characteristics. The major one is that A CHAMPION OF GOD is ready to stand against the armies of the enemies of God. Matthew 11:12 says,
- And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force.
In order to become A CHAMPION, you must first be a servant. Age and physical attributes are not determining factors to being A CHAMPION OF GOD.
CHAMPIONS OF GOD must have boldness.
CHAMPIONS OF GOD must know their God. They must be in the Word continually. Joshua 1:8 says,
- Study this book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then you will prosper and succeed in all you do.
CHAMPIONS OF GOD must be in awe of God and not fear men.
CHAMPIONS OF GOD must be able to see victory ahead and be able to declare it.
CHAMPIONS OF GOD must walk in divine wisdom. If they don’t have it, they must seek it. Jeremiah 33:3 says,
- Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you great and unsearchable things you do not know.
CHAMPIONS OF GOD must have first won battles in the secret place, usually in prayer and character development.
As CHAMPIONS OF GOD, our hearts must be turned towards God. Jeremiah 17:10 says,
- I, the LORD, search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds deserve.
I encourage you that ANYONE CAN BE GOD’S CHAMPION. It’s just a simple decision. I know this is who you are, so I exhort you to walk in these things. YOU ARE GOD’S CHAMPION!
Determining to walk as a champion of God,
