“Scripture of the Day”
And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. - Genesis 3:15
God did not promise that the journey would be without wounds. The enemy may attack your faith, disturb your peace, challenge your family, or try to discourage your heart. But your wounds do not mean you have been defeated.
At Calvary, Jesus was wounded, but the serpent was crushed. This means that what hurts you does not have to define you. Your present pain is not the prophecy of your future. God can use even the places where you have been wounded to reveal the victory of Christ in your life.
So do not surrender because the battle has become intense. Do not allow disappointment, failure, opposition, or spiritual warfare to convince you that God has abandoned you. You may have been bruised, but you are not broken; you may be pressed, but you are not defeated. Christ has already secured the victory.
Prayer: Lord, give me strength to stand where I have been wounded. Heal every place the enemy has attacked, restore what has been shaken, and give me courage to fight without fear. Let the victory of Calvary become evident in my life. I refuse to be defeated, because my victory is in You, in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
“Have a Victorious Day!”
Bishop O.O. Anthony Johnson
