(You’ve Been Brought Into The Transcendent Life In Christ)
TO THE BIBLE: 1 Corinthians 15:57
“But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
LET’S TALK
Imagine a bird locked in a cage for years, and then one day, someone opens the door. But instead of flying free, the bird stays put, unaware that it’s no longer trapped in that cage.
That’s how many people live; they’re waiting for God to rescue them from problems He’s already given them victory over.
God didn’t bring you into this world to be a victim of circumstances, whether they’re economical, political, social or anything else.
You’re not defined by where you live or what’s going on around you. You’re more than a conqueror, and you’ve already overcome the world.
The Bible says, “…whatever is born of God overcomes the world…” (1 John 5:4). In the previous chapter, it also says, “You are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world” (1 John 4:4).
You need to understand this and walk in it’s consciousness from now. God isn’t trying to give you something, make you anything, or help you out of any predicament; you already have everything you need. There’s nothing you require in life today that He hasn’t already provided.
So many people see God only as the One who helps them out of tough situations. They wait for Him to “bring them out” of problems, not realising He’s already done everything necessary for them to have a great life.
Ephesians 1:3 tells us that we’ve been blessed with “all spiritual blessings” in Christ. 2 Peter 1:3 says that God’s power has given us everything we need for life and godliness. And 1 Corinthians 3:21 reminds us, “All things are yours.”
It’s time to wake up to the reality of God’s Word. God isn’t “planning” to prosper you, He’s already done it.
He’s not waiting to heal you; He’s given you something even better—the divine nature that comes with the divine health. He’s already given you a life that’s immune to sickness, disease, infirmity, and even death.
But if you don’t know these truths, you’ll live as a victim. God said, “My people perish for their lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6).
Have the Christ mentality; you’ve been brought into the transcendent life in Christ, so talk, act, and live accordingly.

Speak:
I’ve been brought into the transcendent life in Christ; I’m not a victim of circumstances. I’m empowered by the Spirit to overcome every obstacle that comes my way. I have everything I need to live a triumphant life, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
