Introduction
In a world dominated by wickedness and chaos, God remains victorious. The plans of the wicked, no matter how strategic or forceful they may seem, are ultimately futile before the power of the Living God. This message reminds us that as believers, we are called to remain steadfast, humble, and obedient, knowing that God has already won the ultimate battle.
When we keep our eyes on Him, we experience His victory firsthand. Let us watch Him win over every scheme of the enemy and walk in the assurance that we are on the winning side.

God Is the Ultimate Winner
Isaiah 46:10 (NIV) — "I make known the end from the beginning, from ancient times, what is still to come. I say, ‘My purpose will stand, and I will do all that I please.’"
God declares Himself the Winner over all evil. Despite the pride, delusion, and confusion of worldly leaders, their plans cannot overthrow His sovereignty. They may boast of their power, but their efforts are vain.
For us as believers, this is a call to trust in God’s eternal plans. He is not threatened by the schemes of man or the forces of darkness. Instead, He uses even their rebellion to bring about His purposes.

Jesus: The Perfect Example of Victory
Philippians 2:8-9 (NIV) — "And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name."
The world thought it had won when Jesus was crucified, but God’s plan prevailed. Through His death and resurrection, Jesus became the ultimate example of victory over death, sin, and the powers of darkness.
Jesus’ obedience to God’s plan, even unto death, secured eternal victory for all who trust in Him. Likewise, we are called to obedience and faith, knowing that God will raise us up and use us for His glory.

The Call to Live in Victory
2 Corinthians 2:14 (NIV) — "But thanks be to God, who always leads us as captives in Christ’s triumphal procession and uses us to spread the aroma of the knowledge of him everywhere."
Victory is not just for the afterlife—it is a reality we can live in daily as we walk in God’s Light, Love, and Life. To experience this victory:
• Stay Humble: Submit to the Holy Spirit and reject the carnal mind, which is susceptible to the enemy’s deception.
• Be Spiritually Minded: Choose to focus on heavenly things rather than the chaos of the world.
• Follow God’s Way: Trust His guidance, even when circumstances seem impossible.
Victory comes through daily surrender and steadfast faith in God’s promises.

Treasures for the Faithful
Matthew 6:20 (NIV) — "But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and vermin do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal."
God has treasures stored up for those who remain faithful. These treasures are not limited to eternal rewards but also include His provision, peace, and joy in this life.
Victory is not about escaping challenges but overcoming them through faith. As we trust in God, we experience His blessings and become vessels of His power, bringing hope to others.

Watch Him Win
Psalm 68:1 (NIV) — "May God arise, may his enemies be scattered; may his foes flee before him."
Throughout history, God has shown Himself victorious over every force of evil. From the Exodus to the resurrection of Jesus, He proves time and again that He cannot be defeated.
Today, as we witness the chaos and conflicts of the world, we are reminded to watch Him win. His power is unmatched, His truth is unshakable, and His plans will prevail.
