~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Psalm 20:5 May we shout victoriously in Your salvation, and
raise the banner in the name of our God...
1 Chron 16:31 Let the heavens rejoice and the earth be glad;
and let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigns!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I wonder whether you know the difference between victory and
boasting in victory. What is victory, and what is boasting in
victory? Victory is something that Christ has done, and
boasting in victory is something that we do. Victory is the
work of Christ, while boasting in victory is our work. Victory
tells us that the work is done and still prevailing, while
boasting in victory is a continuous proclamation after the act
of victory.... Thank God that victory is accomplished by
Christ! We did not shed any blood for it. Yet we can boast in
His victory.
Please remember that after a Christian has overcome, he should
continue to exercise his mouth to boast in victory. A day
without a hallelujah is a day without boasting in victory. If
we see only rivers of tears daily, there is no boasting in
victory. Our tone should be one that rejoices in His salvation,
one that shouts victoriously in His victory. When our cricket
team won, we brought the victory to our school, and our
classmates boasted in this victory. In the same way, our Lord
has won the victory and brought this victory to us. Now we can
boast continuously in this victory.
