4 For whatever is born of God overcomes the world. And this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith. 5 Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:4-5 NKJV
Would you say that you are living in victory? Our text above says that whatever (or whoever) is
born of God overcomes the world. Does that sound like you? If not, it should do because when Jesus died on the cross at Calvary, He took our sin and therefore He claimed the victory. And because we belong to Him, we share this victory because He also took our sins and declared us not guilty.
So therefore you are an overcomer; John says here that we have the victory. Through Jesus we have won the conquest. In the Strongs Greek dictionary the word for victory is NIKE pronounced
nee-kay, Gr 3529 and this victory is known as conquest - the means of success. Therefore, God wants us to be victorious and we can be this by being a Nike person. It's no wonder that the sporting world chain claimed the name NIKE for their goods. Everywhere we look, someone is wearing a Nike product.
Our text continues with being an overcomer v5. Believers in Jesus Christ have the victory; they are overcomers, they are Nike people. So, whenever we meet with an obstacle, we need to remember that we are an overcomer - there is a way out of whatever you meet. We have the victory wherever we are. The victor is standing right beside us - Jesus Christ Himself. There is not a thing that is too difficult for Him to do because He is victorious. And let us remember that He has placed us in this victorious mode too, 'I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me'. Philippians 4:13.
You may have sinned today; if so ask Jesus to forgive you and receive this forgiveness. You are an overcomer. You have the ability, through Jesus, to overcome the world. Without Him, you are nothing; but with Him, you are victorious, so start living this way from this day forward.

If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:
Lord Jesus, I have sinned. I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.
In Jesus' Name. Amen'
