2 Corinthians 2:14 Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ.. (New King James version)
v.14 But thank God! He has made us His captives and continues to lead us along in Christ's triumphal procession. (New Living Translation)
Be encouraged that whatever your circumstances are right now our Lord Jesus will lead us into the victory He's already won for us.
Our verse says He always leads us in triumph in Christ. It doesn't say sometimes but always! Our job is to believe it no matter what things look like in the natural and to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus, the One at the head of this triumphal procession, declaring His victory over death and sin and everything that's come with them.
Sometimes I think we've been on the verge of seeing a victory when we let discouragement creep in and we gave up believing for something just as we would have had the breakthrough.
It's wonderful to know that Jesus has included us in His victory parade. We know His victory banner is over us, but we also have a banner to raise.
Psalm 20:5 May we shout for joy when we hear of your victory and raise a banner in the name of our God.
If we've let the enemy put a banner over us that says anything other than victory, then we know it's a lie and we can tear it down because Jesus is leading us forward and His banner over us also says Love which never fails (that's victory). So whatever issues we're experiencing, we can know this, that Jesus will always lead us into triumphing over whatever the enemy tries to do. We've already been put in the position of victory because Jesus has already won the victory and given it to us to enforce and enjoy. The enemy cannot walk all over us any more because he's not the one leading us any more, Jesus is.
Let's go out into the coming week with confidence in Him and if the enemy has a go at us, we can remind him that Jesus has given us the victory over him and all his works, so we can say "hands off me, my family and all I own". Let's declare it over our lives and shout for joy.
We will raise our victory banner in the Name of our God. It says Victorious and Loved. Thank You Lord.
