The Greater One Is In You
THE GREAT GOD
1 John 4:4-6
4 You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 5 They are of the world. Therefore, they speak as of the world, and the world hears them. 6 We are of God. He who knows God hears us; he who is not of God does not hear us. By this we know the spirit of truth and the spirit of error.
The reality of the Christian life being warfare constantly stares us in the face. We cannot wish this away; we must continue to engage appropriately till Jesus comes. One mistake we often make in the heat of the battle is that we sometimes lose our focus on God.
When you lose your focus on God, you cease to look by faith. No wonder you see the enemy and all his forces coming against you. No wonder you feel helpless and sometimes hopeless and defeated. Instead of gazing on the enemy and analyzing his every move and intentions, look to God and His ability in you to defeat the devil.
Did you not receive the Holy Spirit when you invited Him to come and live in you? So, who lives in you now? Do you know how great His power is, and what He does in you? Knowledge of this truth will transform you inside out and bring you the victory.
The Apostle John is instructing us that instead of focusing on the enemy outside, we should focus on the Victory inside. As often as you gaze on Jesus, your faith is strengthened, and your hope of victory is sustained. That is where you get the power to tell the devil to get behind you. He who dwells in us is greater than he that is in the world. This is our victory song all day long.
Prayer
1. Thank God for the victory of Jesus on Calvary and the enduement of power at Pentecost.
2. Pray that you will experience both Calvary and Pentecost every morning you wake up from bed.
3. Father, please quicken Your Spirit in me and let me rise above all the devil does to me.
