Psalm 20:5 We will shout in triumph at your salvation and victory, and in the name of our God we will set up our banners... (Amplified Bible) 1 Chronicles 16:31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice : and let [men] say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.
I wonder whether you know the difference between victory and boasting in victory. What is victory, and what is boasting in victory? Victory is something that Christ has done, and boasting in victory is something that we do. Victory is the work of Christ, while boasting in victory is our work. Victory tells us that the work is done and still prevailing, while boasting in victory is a continuous proclamation after the act of victory.... Thank God that victory is accomplished by Christ! We did not shed any blood for it. Yet we can boast in His victory. Please remember that after a Christian has overcome, he should continue to exercise his mouth to boast in victory. A day without a hallelujah is a day without boasting in victory. If we see only rivers of tears daily, there is no boasting in victory. Our tone should be one that rejoices in His salvation, one that shouts victoriously in His victory. When our cricket team won, we brought the victory to our school, and our classmates boasted in this victory. In the same way, our Lord has won the victory and brought this victory to us. Now we can boast continuously in this victory.
