For every child of God defeats this evil world and we achieve this victory through our faith.
– 1 John 5:4(NLT)
VICTORY THROUGH FAITH
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you believed in the Lord Jesus Christ
You will be equipped with power to live this life
Every child of God defeats this evil world
That is what he says in his precious word.
You cannot have victory over sin through your own strength
Only through Christ can you win and straighten what’s bent
Grow your faith because it is the only thing that saves
Believe that Christ is the only one who will make you brave.
________________________________________
Many believers try to overcome sin in their own strength. I used to do this before I became born again. It never really brought victory in my life. I was always striving to be good. When I became a born again, the Lord revealed to me that I didn’t have to do all the work. He taught me how to rely on his strength instead of on doing this on my own.
The reason why many believers are not able to overcome evil is because they do the work that only God can do. They do not live under his grace. We can only expose the tactics of the enemy if we grow our faith and believe in God’s power. We will not be able to win over Satan without faith.

When he died, he died once to break the power of sin. But now that he lives, he lives for the glory of God. So you also should consider yourselves to be dead to the power of sin and alive to God through Christ Jesus. – Romans 6:10-11(NLT)
DEAD TO SIN’S POWER
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you believed in Christ, your sins died
His blood will cover you and bring you to life
He broke the power of sin by his blood
That’s how much we are loved by God.
Now that Christ was resurrected and alive again
He literally opened for us the door of heaven
So consider yourselves dead to the power of sin
With Christ’s blood, he broke sin’s power so you can win.

Many Christians take for granted the power of the blood of Jesus. No wonder they do so much to work at their salvation. Jesus Christ died only once, so we are all saved once and for all from the bondage of sin so we can live free lives. We need to believe and commit that Jesus is our Lord and Savior. When we dwell and ruminate on the consequence of Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross, we will be able to enjoy our lives. We will be able to grasp the power we have through Jesus Christ and use this authority over sin. We must therefore believe that sin has no longer any power over us.
