TOPIC: GRACE FOR EXTRA-ORDINARY VICTORY
TEXT: 1ST JOHN 5:4-5/9 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.
5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
ROMANS 8:31, ISAIAH 54:14, ISAIAH 41:10-12
DEUTERONOMY 20:1-4 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, and seest horses, and chariots, and a people more than thou, be not afraid of them: for the Lord thy God is with thee, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
2 And it shall be, when ye are come nigh unto the battle, that the priest shall approach and speak unto the people,
3 And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;
4 For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.
What is Grace?
Grace means unmerited favour, it is an act of a man enjoying divine providence. Extraordinary victory means the hand of God. It is a victory that is beyond human capacity. It is God’s kind of victory that operates at the supernatural level.
Why do we need extraordinary victory in the affairs of life?
We need grace for extraordinary victory in the affairs of life because life is war, life is a battlefield.
Victory is the desire of everybody. Victory therefore remains the desire, expectation, and aspiration of every living thing.
John 16:33 NKJV
[33] These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
1st John 5:19,And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
From the above scriptures you can see that life is a battle field, that is why the desire of every living being is victory.
In fact the war began in the garden of Eden and it has continued till now, whether we are willing to fight or not the fight is on.

1) Have faith in God.
