*A LIFE OF CONTINUOUS VICTORY*
_(Live in the Life of Continuous Triumph)_
*TO THE BIBLE:*
*2 Corinthians 2:14*
_“Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ...”_
*LET’S TALK*
Some people walk around acting like life is a rollercoaster of *“ups and downs.”* They treat every little challenge like it’s a huge battle. But imagine treating a bad grade, a fight with a friend, or even a messy day at school as just a small bump instead of the end of the world. That thinking comes from knowing who you are in Christ. The moment you were born again, you were born into a life of total and continuous victory—yes, you were born to win!
Many people think life is full of *“ups and downs,”* but the reason they think this way is because of their ignorance. You’re meant to tackle every test, every argument, and every challenge at school or home with a mindset of victory. You’re supposed to live each and every day of your life in victory over every situation that you face. The day you were born again, you were born into the life of total and continuous victory—you’re born to win! The death of Jesus on the Cross and His triumphant resurrection made us one with God and brought us into a life of victory.
The Bible says that God, *“...raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come”* (Ephesians 1:20-21). And that includes YOU, even when life feels like it’s stacked against you at school, online, or with friends. The Bible says God, *“...even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ... and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus”* (Ephesians 2:5-6). The story doesn’t end with Jesus alone; God raised you up together with Him, and you’re also seated with Him in glory!
You’re seated right in the place of His authority and power, and this is the reason you can’t be defeated. The Bible says, *“...as He is, so are we in this world”* (1 John 4:17). So, whether it’s dealing with peer pressure, social media drama, or just trying to find your place in the world, you’ve already got the victory inside you. You were born again with His life, nature, and character, so you’re not going to start experiencing victory in the sweet by and by; no, your life of victory is now!
*GO DEEPER*
*1 Corinthians 15:57* But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
*Romans 5:17* For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
*PRAY*
_Father, you’ve ordained me to live a life of victory every day, and I rejoice in that knowledge. Through your Word, I declare that I’m reigning as a king in life over every circumstance in my world, and I thank you for making me a champion in this life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen._
*DAILY BIBLE READING*

1 Corinthians 2, Psalms 107-108
*TWO YEAR*

*ACT*
Carry yourself with dignity today, conscious that the same Jesus who created the universe actually lives in you.
