Everything about a disciple is unusual because he is someone who is fighting a battle that is already won. The victory of a disciple is based on certain things, the Ingredient that makes up the victory are:

#1 Faith

Faith is the victory that overcomes this world. In 1 John 5:4-5, the Bible says:

“For whosoever is born of God overcometh the world; and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the son of God”.

If you believe that Jesus is the Son of God, the Bible says you have already won. You have overcome the world. The victory of a disciple is based on faith.

#2 Indwelling Christ

the second pillar of the victory of the disciple is the indwelling of Christ. In 1 John 4:4, the Bible says, “Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.

The victory that the disciple has is Jesus Christ. In the book of Colossians 1:27, the Bible says, “Christ in you, the hope of Glory”. When Christ is in us we have the hope of Glory. Not the hope of defeat, not the hope of shame. Each time someone has Jesus Christ dwelling in him, there is one thing to hope for; glory.

#3 Victory handed over to him

The third pillar of the victory of the disciple is that there is a victory handed over to him. After Jesus Christ overcome, after He defeated Satan and the world, He sat down in the Heavenly place at the right hand of the Father. And then He caused all his disciples to be seated with him. We are seated with Him in the heavenly places. He is our champion. He won the battle and handed the victory to us.

As we have learnt earlier when there is a competition, let us say there is a football match, between Nigeria and another nation, there are eleven people representing Nigeria. There are millions of Nigerians, but there are only eleven representing us. If these eleven people win, all Nigerians have won. If they lose, even those in the villages have lost, even though they never got to the field to play.

In the same manner. jesus our champion fought the battle and won, and because He won, all of us who are His disciples are victors too. You can read Ephesians 2:4-6 and then compare that to Ephesians 1:19-21. He won. He sat at the right hand of God and caused us to be seated with Him in heavenly places.

And then in Ephesians 1:22, the Bible says:

“And hath put all things under his feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all things to the Church”

Everything; principalities, powers and all forces of darkness are under his feet. Now as a disciple, you are part of the body of Christ and there is no part of the body that is lower than the feet. In other words, I don’t know which part of the body you are fitted into, even if you are the sole of his feet, you are still higher than all the enemies of God.

#4 Comprehensive Insurance Cover

The fourth pillar of victory of the disciple is that God has given him comprehensive insurance coverage. Look at Luke 10:19, you will see what the Lord said there. Look at Luke 10:19, you will see what the Lord said there. The Lord Jesus was speaking and He said, “Behold nothing, shall by any means hurt you.”. Now, the meaning of ‘nothing’ means nothing; it means there is nothing anybody can do, you are covered. the moment you are under the authority of Jesus Christ, as His disciple, then you are under the authority over the enemy. In Matthew 8, there is a story there from verses one to nine.

There was this centurion who came to Jesus. He said “Oh! My servant is sick.“ “No, you don’t need to come to my house. I know all you need to do is speak one word and my servant would be healed”. And then he made a statement, he said, “I also am under the authority of Caesar in Rome. As a result of that, whatever I say to my soldiers, they do it; when I say to this one come, he comes, when I ask this to go he goes. He said, therefore, I’m under authority over some people who are under me”.

When you are under the authority of Jesus Christ, the King of kings, and the lord of Lords, the one who is above all, then you have authority over all evil forces.

#5 The anointed one

The fifth pillar of the victory of a disciple is that the disciple is an anointed one. Once you get baptised in the Holy Spirit, the anointing of God is upon you and according to Is. 10:27, the Bible says the anointing breaks the yoke. In other words, if the disciple was even bound before, as soon as he becomes a disciple of Jesus Christ, the anointing of God comes and the yokes in his life will be broken. Not only that but because of this anointing, there is special protection for every disciple. Look at Psalm 105:14-15. The Bible says:

“He suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he reproved kings for their sakes; Saying touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm”.

In other words, God wouldn’t allow anyone to do you wrong. He said yea he reproved kings for their sake. Saying, “Touch not my anointed and do my prophets no Harm”. God says anybody who dares touch His anointed ones would be in danger. So a disciple is anointed.

I am sure by now, that the anointing upon your life is proportional to your holiness. The holier you are, the greater the anointing.

Hebrews 1:9 says,

“Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God even thy God hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows,”.

The holier you are, the greater the anointing. That is why the Bible says in James 4:7:

“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you”.

So submit yourself therefore unto God, you then resist the devil, then the devil will flee.

#6 Already known result

In every battle that the dicsiple may fight, the result is already knowm, even before you start fighting. All the disciple needs to do is to be obedient, and the victory will come very very soon. look in Romans 16:19-20 which says:

” For your obedience is cone abrroad unto all men, I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil; And God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.”.

All you need to do is to be obediebt. And you can be sure very soon that you will be matching on the head of Satan.

#7 Love of God

The seventh pillar of the victory of the disciples is the Love of God. Romans 8:37 says, ” we are more than conquerors through him that loved us”. The reason we are more than conquerors is because God loves us. That means, I will win as long as God loves me. But, suppose tomorrow He changes His mind and say He dosen’t love me anymore.

The Bible says in John 13 that’s ; ” Now, before the feast of Passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was conss that he should depart out of this world unto the father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them into the end”.

God does not love you half way; He will not love you on Sunday oy and forsake you on Monday. he loved His own and He love then till the very end. So I know God is going to love me till the very end, provided I keep on obeying Him. That is why the disciples can shoot for victory even before the battle started. On Psalns 47:1, the Bible says, ” Cllap your hand, I ye people, shout unto God with the loud voice of triumph”.

That is a command, and its a command that goes to every dicsiple that just won a victory who will of course find that easy to do. But , what about a dicsiple that is fighting a battle? Shout all the same because your victory is certain.

So we all want you who believe your victory is certain to spend just some minutes, shouting the about of victory. get up and praise the Lors. Hallelujah! Do so, that the devil will be mad. Go ahead and do that.
