Learn how to overcome spiritual challenges and remain steadfast in your faith https://lnkd.in/gxST9p58

Hello, my friends! It’s a joy to talk with you today. You know, I was thinking about how sometimes we feel like we're in a battle, trying to find that last parking spot at the grocery store. But the Scripture tells us our real battle is much bigger than that. Ephesians 6:12 says, "For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." Let’s dive into what that means for us today. First: The Enemy is Invisible, but Our Victory is Visible. We may not see the forces we're up against, but we see the victories when we stand in faith. Recall that faith is the evidence of things not seen. Start your day by declaring victory over your life, your family, and your work. Speak life and watch God show up and show out. Second: Our Words are Weapons. Your life moves in the direction of your strongest thoughts, and your thoughts give rise to your words. Remember, the power of life and death is in the tongue. Choose to speak blessings and positivity. Your words are powerful tools against the enemy. Third: Unity Disarms the Enemy. Did you know a unified team is over 30% more productive than a divided one? That's the power of unity. Scripture says, "One shall chase a thousand, and two shall chase ten thousand." There’s real strength in numbers, especially in prayer. Our battle may not be against what we can see, but we're equipped with faith, words, and unity. These are the tools we need to win any spiritual battle. Remember, you’re not fighting for victory; you’re fighting from victory. The victory Jesus has already won! https://lnkd.in/gse2XZh5

Championship Principle #371 Releasing the Roar of the Young Lion Proverbs 28:1 (NIV) "The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion." Amos 3:8 (NIV) "The lion has roared—who will not fear? The Sovereign Lord has spoken—who can but prophesy?" Hosea 11:10 (ESV) "They shall go after the Lord; he will roar like a lion; when he roars, his children shall come trembling from the west." Joel 3:16 (NIV) "The Lord will roar from Zion and thunder from Jerusalem; the earth and the heavens will tremble. But the Lord will be a refuge for his people, a stronghold for the people of Israel." Releasing the roar of a young lion symbolizes stepping into boldness, authority, and courage as a believer, much like the lion asserts its presence and dominance with its roar. In Christ, we are called to walk in our spiritual identity with confidence, claiming the authority given to us to overcome life's challenges. This roar also represents fearlessly proclaiming the gospel and standing firm in our faith, even when faced with adversity. Like a young lion growing into its full strength, we too grow in our spiritual maturity and power as we trust in God. United with other believers, our collective roar declares God’s victory and His authority over all. Championship Principles by Abraham Adeseye

Championship Principle #368 Higher Levels of Purity Matthew 5:8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." Philippians 4:8 "Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." 1 Timothy 4:12 "Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity." 1 John 3:3 "Everyone who has this hope in him purifies himself, just as he is pure." 2 Timothy 2:22 "Flee the evil desires of youth and pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace, along with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart." Higher levels of purity involve a deep, inner transformation where our heart, mind, speech, relationships, and worship align with God’s will. It is not simply avoiding sin but cultivating a heart that seeks to please God with pure motives, thoughts, and actions. Purity means guarding our minds from negative influences, using our words to uplift, honouring others in our relationships, and worshiping God sincerely. Living a pure life often requires standing firm against worldly compromises and pursuing holiness, even when it’s countercultural. Ultimately, purity is a lifelong process of refinement, relying on God's grace and allowing the Holy Spirit to shape us into His image. Championship Principles by Abraham Adeseye

April 17: Wisdom is as infinite as God "The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding." Proverbs 4:7 What is wisdom? According to Webster’s Dictionary 1828, wisdom is defined as: “1. The right use or exercise of knowledge; the choice of laudable ends, and of the best means to accomplish them. 2. Quickness of intellect; readiness of apprehension; dexterity in execution.” In scripture theology, wisdom is true religion, godliness, piety, the knowledge and fear of God, and sincere and uniform obedience to His commands. Wisdom is as infinite as God Himself; as we increase in it, it increases in us. Wisdom is not solely knowledge. The two are often confused. Knowledge is taking in the information, and wisdom is applying that knowledge. Knowledge is the accumulation of facts, and wisdom is the correct application of those facts. If you want to be knowledgeable, study God’s Word. If you want to be wise, apply God’s Word. What then is understanding? Understanding refers to the ability to arrange facts. It has to do with insight and your perspective on life. Understanding is the ability to relate how every event in your life has to do with a far greater picture. Wise people have a combination of knowledge and understanding at work in them.  

Championship Principle #391 Becoming a Walking God-encounter for Others Matthew 5:16 "Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven." 2 Corinthians 5:20 "We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us." John 13:34-35 "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." Acts 1:8 "But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth." Becoming a "walking God-encounter" for others means living in such a way that God's presence, love, and grace shine through everything you do. This begins with a deep, intimate relationship with Him, allowing the Holy Spirit to fill and guide you daily. As you draw close to God, His character overflows into your interactions, transforming your words and actions into reflections of His love. Approach each day with humility, integrity, and radical compassion, embodying Christ’s heart by listening deeply, serving selflessly, and speaking life-giving words. Pray for opportunities to be God’s vessel, allowing His peace, joy, and hope to radiate through you even in challenges, so that those around you can sense His presence and be drawn to His goodness. Through a life rooted in faith and empowered by the Spirit, you can be a living testament, leading others to encounter God in a tangible, meaningful way. Championship Principles by Abraham Adeseye

Championship Principle #419 Sincere, Strong, Complete, Tremendous and Unshaken Belief Jeremiah 29:13: "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart." Philippians 4:13: "I can do all this through him who gives me strength." Proverbs 3:5-6: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Mark 11:23: "Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them." Hebrews 11:1: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." Sincere, strong, complete, tremendous, and unshaken belief is the foundation of a deep and transformative relationship with God. Sincere belief flows from a pure and honest heart that seeks Him earnestly, while strong belief gives us resilience in the face of challenges, relying on His strength rather than our own. Complete belief requires surrender, trusting God with every aspect of our lives, aligning fully with His will. Tremendous belief dares to expect great things from God, trusting His power to accomplish the impossible, and unshaken belief stands firm, rooted in the assurance of His sovereignty and faithfulness. Together, these dimensions of faith create a vibrant and unwavering trust in God, empowering us to live victoriously and experience His fullness in our lives.
