YOU BELONG TO THE FAMILY OF WINNERS

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh
the world, even our faith.” 1 John 5:4 (KJV)
 

Whoever is born of God overcomes the world. It is a present continuous statement. In Christ,
you are equipped to overcome whatever the world system can offer. When you are born
again, you are a world overcomer. A cat gives birth to a cat, and a lion gives birth to a lion.
Similarly, God gives birth to gods, His own children. Yes! In the first Adam, whatever runs in
the family runs down the line. The same thing applies to the last Adam. Whatever runs in the
family of the last Adam (Jesus) also runs in your life because you have become part of the
family. It is a family of winners. We don’t lose in anything we do because our Father is not a
loser. So, when the devil comes and says, sickness runs in the family, you say: ‘Yes, it runs in
that family. But not in our own family. My family is different! I belong to God’s family!

God, by substitution, has already dealt with anything you are suffering from. That is why
Jesus said it is finished. Refuse to operate in ignorance. Abundance has been made available
to you, but because you are unwilling to appropriate what God made available to you, you
may not see the manifestation. When you are born of God, you are born to win because your
Father is a winner all the time.

When you begin to fret and ask how do I get the money, how am I going to pay this bill, and
how is this need going to be met? It is because you have not understood that God is your
Father. The cattle on a thousand hills belong to your Father. The beasts of the forest belong to
Him. The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness, therefore. So, when the need arises, all you
need to do is talk to your father. Go to Daddy and tell Him because Jesus settled it on the
cross.
