Serving God is a win -win situation. The end verdict has already been slated for us to be victors. We are the over comers in this battle. The conquerors, and in modern parlance, the super men.
In this battle, our weapons are not carnal but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6 For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. And we will be ready to punish every act of disobedience, once your obedience is complete.
Our armour is not of human nature - Ephesians 6:13-18 Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
After you are positioned right by wearing your described armour as shown above, speak the required language of love , and know that you are in a win win situation. No matter what our opponents throw at/against us, the end is victory on our side - Romans 8:35-37 Can anything ever separate us from Christ’s love? Does it mean he no longer loves us if we have trouble or calamity, or are persecuted, or hungry, or destitute, or in danger, or threatened with death? (As the Scriptures say, “For your sake we are killed every day; we are being slaughtered like sheep.”) No, despite all these things, overwhelming victory is ours through Christ, who loved us.
1 John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.
Stay in God's army, and if you are not a part of it , then pleasure is mine to invite you to join the winning team. The members of God's army are victors both in this world and hereafter -
1 John 5:4 for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.
New Living Translation - For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.
Revelation 21:4 He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death' or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."
