II Corinthians 2:14 “Now thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of his knowledge by us in every place.”
The power that Christ gives us as His children to be overcomers is far greater than anyone can imagine. We sometimes look at getting victory as a struggle, but the Word of God tells us differently: “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us” (Eph. 3:20).
When we look at Christ in time of temptation or trial, we will find that victory is right around the corner. In the text verse, notice the word “always.” In God’s way of thinking, Who wrote this verse, there are no exceptions to how often He can give you victory – and even cause you to have it.
The only question about getting victory in Jesus is how often are we willing to look to Him and His promises for help? He is always willing to give victory, but we must also be thankful when He does.
Once you learn to get a better victory in your life, you can begin to teach others how to have the same kind and an even greater victory than you have. As we seek to get that better victory through Christ, we must also learn to hate sin more – all kinds – not just everyone else’s favorite ones.
Sin can be pleasurable even for a believer – for a short time. Until we admit that we secretly love some sins, real victory is not possible. The day of victory can begin when you ask Christ to help you hate that sin that so easily besets your walk with God.
