VICTORY THROUGH FAITH Poem Devotional

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.

KEY TO PROSPERITY AND SUCCESS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Do you find it difficult to navigate through life?
Would you want to bring out darkness into light?
There is a Book of Instruction that brings prosperity
If you meditate on it day and night, you’ll have victory.
Be sure you don’t just read but obey and do what it says
Only then will you prosper and be blessed
This holy book God gave us is the key to his kingdom
It is also the key to peace, joy and freedom and wisdom.

I usually don’t read manuals. I’d rather look at a quick photo instruction or figure it out myself method of using a product. Without reading the guide, we can get in trouble with damaging the product or not maximizing its use. I have had a camcorder for three years before I actually discovered things I never knew it could do. Thus, I missed utilizing it to its full capacity during those years. Isn’t our life like those products we buy? Our manual for life is written in the bible. If we don’t read it, we are not maximizing the full potential of what God has in store for us.
PRAYER
Lord, allow me to have more time to ready and study your word.
REFLECTION
Why won’t people read what is good for them?

Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do. – Joshua 1:8(NLT)

SECRET TO SUCCESS IN EVERYTHING
A poem and essay by ILMA
There is a secret to succeed in all you do
Open the book of instruction to know the truth
You will find treasures in each word you read
It quenches your hunger and makes you see.
It is the secret to triumph over everything in life
It instructs you to love each other and embrace the light
Without the Scriptures, there will be chaos and defeat
It is the main ingredient to be able to succeed and reap.
Society puts so much emphasis on wealth and power as an indication of success. It disregards the other manifestations of success such as in relationships, spiritual growth, managing resources, financial management, time management, having a job they enjoy and many more.
The bible tells us that the secret to prosperity and success in all we do is to study the bible continually, meditating on it day and night so we can be sure to obey it. Just like a manual for any appliance, it is our handbook for living. It contains all instructions to make our lives a success.
PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your book of instruction.
REFLECTION
What new instructions have you discovered from the bible lately?
