“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.”
John 16:33 NKJV
Your life may seem so bad right now like nothing good is happening around you. Truth is you may not always be able to control the things happening around you, however you can determine your reaction to them and choose not to let unfavourable circumstances weigh you down.
In John 16:33, just before His crucifixion, Jesus exhorts His disciples to not lose heart. Jesus was undaunted in the face of death.
I think that if only the disciples had a fore knowledge of the intensity of troubles coming their way; from Jesus’s crucifixion, to their times of trials and persecutions, maybe they would have asked Jesus to speak some more.
The world constantly pushes troubles, distress, temptations, trals, sorrow and frustration towards its inhabitants including believers. Jesus says; Be of Good Cheer.
‘Be of Good Cheer; I have overcome the world, therefore nothing it brings can successfully harm or hurt you, unless you allow it‘.
Be of Good Cheer…
You can enjoy my peace in the face of tribulations (John 16:33).
Be of Good Cheer…
There is no need to be afraid, for I am with you (Mark 6:50).
Be of Good Cheer…
My body was broken for your healing, by My Stripes you were healed you. So take up your bed and walk (Matthew 9: 1-8, Luke 8:43-48, Mark 10:49-52).
Be of Good Cheer…
I have overcome the world, I won the victory for you and I AM IN You, so you are more than a Conqueror (1 John 4:4)
Be of Good Cheer
Be confident and certain that you win always in Me. Be fearless and courageous because I am with you, I will never leave nor forsake you.
Be of Good Cheer
You say you believe in God, Believe My Word also. Speak My Word. Confess My Word always. Walk in My Spirit and let the love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, faithfulness rule in your life.
Be of Good Cheer for I have overcome the world and I did it All for you. You are more than a Conqueror!
