Winning Starts With You

By Orlando Pompea

Every born-again Christian has the privilege to become a champion! Through his Son, God has given us victory over the world, flesh, and the devil. So you don't have to walk in defeat anymore. Although this is an unquestioning truth, we see something completely different when looking at some of God's people today. We see failure after failure! One major cause of our failures is that we are being raised believing that we must be continuously indulged and pampered. We have learned to make excuses or point the finger at someone else. Winning Starts with You reveals to you how taking responsibility for your actions will drive you to the Top. By applying the principles taught in this book, your life will never be the same again.

Foreword

Although I knew that because of the ministry that the Lord has entrusted to me I would write books, I never thought that my first book would cover this subject.

About a week after I had preached about this subject in my local church, in 2013, I got a strong urge to elaborate this sermon into a book. At that time, I couldn’t imagine that it would take three years before I would actually publish this book.

But what I have seen is that the problem that this book deals with is getting worse and worse every day. Nowadays, our children are being raised believing that they must be continuously indulged and pampered. They are not taught to face the realities of correction and consequences when they do something wrong. They learn to make excuses or point the finger at someone else. It is the blame game at its best! Nothing is ever their fault, so they blame everything bad or difficult on someone else.

As a result, we have come to a place where we don’t feel the need to take responsibility for any of our actions! But I am convinced that we can do better. I believe that right now, you have the right tool in your hand that can help you change your destiny forever. Please read this book with an open mind and try to evaluate yourself in a critical manner.

It is my deep desire and prayer that this book will help many of you, my fellow brothers and sisters, to take responsibility for your actions and your lives.

Introduction

Every born-again Christian has the privilege to become a champion! Through His Son, God has given us victory over the world , flesh , and the devil . So you don’t have to walk in defeat anymore. You can walk in victory by abiding in Christ’s victory.

Beloved, today you have to recognize that you are a born winner. Yes, you are a victor by virtue of your new birth in Jesus Christ. You are not expected to be defeated by anything.

Although this is an unquestioning truth, we see something completely different when looking at some of God’s people today. We see failure after failure!

Maybe you are also one of the many other brothers and sisters who failed because they have never learned how to take responsibility for their lives. You don’t have to lose heart because maybe this book has the solution for your turnaround.

As a matter of fact, you are not the first one who has to deal with this problem. As we will see later, it goes back almost 6,000 years ago, where a man and a woman, who were perfectly created by God, had struggled with this problem. Great men and women have lost the battle because they never learned this lesson. The first king of Israël was dethroned because of this same problem. Politicians, teachers, men, women and children are struggling with this problem.

The sad thing is that most people often don’t even know that they have this problem. I’m talking about the problem: blaming others for your own shortcomings.

I have seen many believers not taking their responsibility for their actions in the past period. They regularly blame others for their own failures. Unfortunately, there are also
