THE MESSAGE
THANKS BE TO GOD WHO GIVES US THE VICTORY THROUGH JESUS CHRIST
**************************************************************
1.INSPIRATION
God gives us the victory through our faith in Christ. Our faith and inspiration must be in God and this faith will overcome the obstacles and bring us the victory. We must not allow doubt and unbelief to rob us of our victory through Christ. In all the obstacles that we face we must continually draw inspiration and encouragement from the faithful promises of God and stand firm in our faith to experience victory in our lives.

*****************************
for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him.
"I know that you can do all things; no plan of yours can be thwarted.
2.INTERCESSION
God gives us the victory by pleading our cause . He is our mighty redeemer who will thoroughly plead on our behalf and give us the victory . The Lord Jesus Christ is interceding on our behalf. He is our Heavenly advocate who will plead on our behalf before the throne of Heaven . The Father would not deny the plea of His Son Jesus when He pleads on our behalf.

*****************************
Yet their Redeemer is strong; the LORD Almighty is his name. He will vigorously defend their cause so that he may bring rest to their land, but unrest to those who live in Babylon.
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
I John 2 :1
Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
3.INTIMACY
God gives us the victory when we stay close to Him. We must maintain our intimacy and close relationship with God. As we stay at His right hand we will make our enemies our footstool. He will be with us and no one can overcome us. He will deliver us and honour us. Our intimacy with God helps us to experience victory in all our battles. The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong on behalf of those whose hearts are perfect towards Him.

Psalm 110 :1-4
The LORD says to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."
The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion; you will rule in the midst of your enemies.
Your troops will be willing on your day of battle. Arrayed in holy majesty, from the womb of the dawn you will receive the dew of your youth.
The LORD has sworn and will not change his mind: "You are a priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek."
No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you.
Psalm 91 : 14-16
"Because he loves me," says the LORD, "I will rescue him; I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
He will call upon me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble, I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life will I satisfy him and show him my salvation."
II Chronicles 16 : 9
For the eyes of the LORD range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. You have done a foolish thing, and from now on you will be at war."
4.INVOCATION
God gives us the victory when we invoke His presence with our praise and worship . As we begin to praise and worship Him in the midst of our battles , God causes confusion in the enemy’s camp . His mighty presence fills us and we experience a mighty deliverance and victory . Our praise and worship is a two edged sword to destroy the enemy’s attacks. Jehoshaphat experienced a mighty victory through praise and worship . Paul and Silas experienced a great deliverance through praise and worship.
