BIBLE TEXT: 2 Timothy 4:7-8
[7]I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
[8]Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing.
LESSON INTRODUCTION: “And David said to Saul let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine. ” (I Sam.17:32). To be victorious means having the mindset of winning no matter the intending oppositions. Every believer has been granted victory at Calvary when Jesus said in John 19:30 that; “it is finished. ”
So, no matter the devil’s tricks, wiles, enchantment, our victorious state has been confirmed and established – Numbers 23:23. To be victorious means to overcome or win oppositions or difficulties, bring down giants and divide the Red sea hampering your going forward.
TEXT REVIEW: II Timothy 4:7-8
– To gain victory and sustain it, you need to fight.
– There is a virtue required in winning the race i.e. faith in God.
