“I have told you
these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In
the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but
be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have
overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have
conquered it for you.]”

TODAY’S WORD from Joel and Victoria
|
|
When trials and tribulations
come, as children of the Most High God, we can take courage; we can be
confident, and we can have perfect peace. Why? Because perfect peace doesn’t
come from the world. Courage doesn’t come from the world and neither does confidence.
These things come from a relationship with Almighty God. We can have hope in
challenging times because God has promised us victory. As long as we stay in
faith, as long as we put our trust and hope in God, we will stay in victory.
No matter what you are facing
today, remember, faith pleases God and opens the door for His supernatural
favor, strength and wisdom. Don’t settle for defeat because you are
preprogrammed for victory. Choose to thank Him for what He is doing in your
life and for the victory that is on the way. Be strong, be bold and take
courage today because God has overcome the world!

The bible says : Ecclesiastes 3:1-22 - For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven: a time to be born, and a time to die; a time to pl...
