• Overcomer - Problem Solver (AR Bernard)
• Blessings Giver.
• Freedom from bondage to sin, addictions, anger,  etc.
• Freedom to bless others
• Mature - Christ-likeness
• Wholeness in Spirit, Soul & Body

The Paths to Victorious Life

1. Know the truth of Jesus & His love for us
2. Respond in Faith in Jesus
3. Discover His wonderful calling (vision) to us.
4. Draw on His Ability given to us
5. Achieve and realize our vision with Productivity proving His love for us

It starts with the build-up of the inner man of the spirit, renewal of mind, and then sanctification of body.

Becoming the Overcomer

Our calling is the vision God has for us. Vision creates expectation. Expectation shows us the gap and motivate us to use our God-given ability to make a plan. Executing the plan removes the gap.
