No virus can stop you - You're a winner!

"But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through Our Lord Jesus Christ."
1 Corinthians 15:57. NKJV

Being a winner consists of the ability to have certain elements:

CONQUEST
This is the act or process of conquering. It is something acquired by conquering, especially territory.

VICTORY
This is the final and complete defeat of the enemy in a military engagement. It is also any successful struggle against an opponent or obstacle. It is the state of having triumphed.

TRIUMPH
it is the ability to be victorious or successful, to win and prevail. Triumph gives us the reason to rejoice over a success or victory, because we are trophies of Christ's victory.

A winner has victory. The word victory in the Greek is nee-kay from which we get the word Nike. (Strongs 3529) It is no wonder that the sports giant took this brand name to promote their goods.
LOSERS TALK ABOUT IT - WINNERS TAKE ACTION!

As we have seen from the media this week, there is a lot of unrest throughout the world. Each country is taking action to help protect their people from the Coronavirus. It is causing fear which is the total opposite to faith. It is time for each and every Child of God to take God at His Word.

'Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.'
1 Corinthians 15:58. NKJV

In fact, remember and declare today's verse over yourself and your family - personalise it:

'But thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.'
1 Corinthians 15:57. NKJV

It may not seem it, but you have the victory over the Coronavirus, through Jesus Christ. You are a winner! Fear only comes from the devil (John 10:10). Victory comes through Jesus.

'Do not be afraid - only believe,' Mark 5:36. You are a winner! You have the victory! Everything's going to be all right! Throw off the blanket of fear and stand with Jesus. Tell non-believers about Him. They need to know. They need hope - the hope that you have!
