For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith (1 John 5:4).
In the verse above, the Apostle John wasnโt prophesying; he was affirming the life we have in Christ; a life of dominion over satan, the world, and its systems. The Christian is unconquerable; heโs a victor on every count; heโs born into the glory-life, and could never fail.
Read Jesusโ assertion about your impregnable and invincible natureโyour authority and dominion in Him: โBehold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt youโ (Luke 10:19). In Mark 16:18, He said you shall tread upon serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, itโll have no effect on you. This means you canโt be poisoned. What a life!
He overcame the world and gave us the victory, the power to subdue this world. Thatโs what John affirms in our opening verse. The word, โovercomethโ means to have victory over, to subdue, conquer, and to prevail over. Youโve subdued, tamed and conquered the elements of this world; the circumstances of life; therefore, walk in dominion over them.
The Word doesnโt say, โYouโll overcome if you pray hard enoughโ; the only criterion is to be born of God and you automatically have power over every crisis, and dominion over circumstances. Distressing situations may come from the enemyโthe devil, but be unruffled; in Christ youโve already been made victorious. 2 Corinthians 2:14 says, โNow thanks be unto God, which always causeth us to triumph in Christโฆ.โ
Never wonder or be baffled by the trials, temptations or challenges that may come your way; in the midst of them all, youโll always win: โYe are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the worldโ (1 John 4:4). You have to come to this realization; train and develop yourself in this consciousness.

PRAYER
Iโm born of the Word; therefore, my origin is divine. Iโve overcome the world and its failures, hatred, corruption, decadence and limitations. I reign victoriously over circumstances, because Christ is in me; thatโs my assurance of a life of ever-increasing glory and eternal prosperity, in Jesusโ Name. Amen.

1 John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
Psalm 8:4-6 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? 5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. 6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all [things] under his feet:
Ephesians 1:22-23 And hath put all [things] under his feet, and gave him [to be] the head over all [things] to the church, 23 Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all.
