The 7th and FINAL qualities of victims and victors.

A VICTIM SEEKS TO PROTECT HIS RIGHTS

Everything is about “my rights!” Sound familiar?

If a right is violated, there is a significant reaction.

and everyone will hear about it!!!

An example is King Saul in the way he looked at David,

who was a loyal supporter and an effective fighter for him.

But King Saul saw him as a threat to his right to be king.

A victim doesn’t think about other’s rights, just his own.

A VICTOR SEEKS TO SERVE INSTEAD OF DEFENDING HIS RIGHTS.

He knows that in the spiritual realm he only has one right,

which is "to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name,

he gave the right to become children of God…” John 1:12.

Everything else that God gives us is a privilege, a gift, including eternal life.

So if a Victor is deprived of a “right”, is treated badly, is disrespected,

he can respond with grace, letting go of the negative and trusting God,

bringing peace to all around him.

So every day we have the choice, will we be a victim or a victor?

Let’s choose the right one!
