We Came to Win

The kingdom is a winner. Isn’t it great to be part of a winner? Don’t you love a winner? I do. I believe we came to win.

Some say, “It matters not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game.”

Don’t you believe it. It makes a lot of difference whether you win or not. That philosophy may be all right for basketball, but it’s not all right for the kingdom of God. You see, we came here to win. We didn’t come to just play the game. If we stick with the Lord we will win. We’re not going to fail. The Lord is not going to fail. The kingdom will succeed. It will win in the earth, but we have to be part of it if we’re going to win with it. So we’re called to be winners in the kingdom of God.
