ROAD TO VICTORY

I am on the Road to Victory.

Napoleon said, “CONQUEST HAS MADE ME WHAT I AM, AND CONQUEST MUST MAINTAIN ME.”

In Acts 14:22 we are reminded to “Remain true to the faith.”

C. H. Spurgeon said, “PERSEVERANCE is the badge of true saints.”

First of all let us learn something from Job and Moses in the Old Testament:

JOB persevered. He is considered blessed because of his perseverance. Have you heard about his perseverance and what the Lord finally brought about? Read the story about Job in the Bibel (OT)!

MOSES persevered! Why?  “BECAUSE HE SAW HIM WHO IS INVISIBLE.” We must do the same. He did not fear. He left Egypt by faith.

Next let us see what is written about the church of the Thessalonians and to the saints in Rome:

The apostle Paul is boasting not only about the perseverance but also about the faith of the Thessalonians. They persevere in persecutions and trials.

To the saints in Rome Paul is writing that “we also rejoice in our sufferings”. Why? Because the  product of suffering is perseverance.

FINALLY LET US THANK THE LORD THAT HE PERSEVERED FOR US

and pray with the apostle Paul:

“May the Lord direct your hearts into God’s love and Christ’s perseverance.”
