UNDISPUTED CHAMPION!

Day 7 - Undisputed Champions - The Lord's House Community Church

 

Scripture

2 Corinthians 4:7-10
But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. We are hard-
pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken;
struck down, but not destroyed— always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.

 

Thought for Today

Preparing to watch Notre Dame and Ohio State compete in the college football national championship is a reminder of all that is required to be an UNDISPUTED CHAMPION. Both teams are of championship caliber and came into the game with excellent records having overcome many obstacles during a long and challenging season. However, only one of these two great teams will emerge from the game as the UNDISPUTED CHAMPION of college football.

UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONS are rare in any sport or field in life. Think about how difficult it is to compete against competitors for an entire season and be considered a winner by competitors, the press and fans. UNDISPUTED CHAMPIONS are not perfect, in fact they may numerous weaknesses. But these champions are known as champions for their ability to work hard, stick together, overcome adversity, persevere through troubling situations and pursue victory with diligence.

In this life we face many challenges that are far beyond our natural ability to overcome. Additionally, you have a formidable opponent in the devil who hates you and is constantly devising plans and schemes to defeat you by keeping you in a state of discouragement and despair. As we experience these things, it is critical to fight the good fight of faith by declaring God’s Word to gain victory. To become the Undisputed Champion that God has made it possible for us to be in Christ, we must know and practice the following the principles Paul teaches in 2 Corinthians 4: 7-10.

  1. You are a vessel of clay the God has chosen to use for His purpose
  2. God has made a deposit of His heavenly treasure in you
  3. Yet, He is the sole source of Excellence of His Power in you
  4. In the fight of life, you will be hard-pressed on every side, but never crushed
  5. In the fight of life, you will be confused, but not in despair
  6. In the fight of life, you will be persecuted but not forsaken
  7. In the fight of life, you will be struck down, but not destroyed
  8. Always carry the death of the Lord Jesus in your heart that His life may be manifested (made known) in you and enable you to draw others to Christ
 
These principles will help you and I to become an UNDISPUTED CHAMPION in this life.
 

It’s Time to Pray

Almighty God, I ask you to fill me with the excellence of Your power from Your heavenly treasure so that I will operate in Faith to persevere and overcome every challenge that the enemy sends to defeat me…Help me to live as an UNDISPUTED CHAMPION for Christ…in Jesus’ Name, Amen!
