THE SWEET SMELL OF VICTORY
The Sweet Smell of Victory
Dr. Adrian Rogers
2 Corinthians 2:14
Beloved friends, would you take your Bibles and would you turn with me please to Second Corinthians, the second chapter, and in a moment we're going to begin reading in verse 14. The title of our message is THE SWEET SMELL OF VICTORY. Now, ladies and gentleman, when you were born again you were born to win. God expects you to be living day by day in victory.
l found something the other day I want to share with you, it's entitled The Difference Between Winners and Losers. A winner says, ''Let's find out.'' A loser says, ''Nobody knows.'' When a winner makes a mistake he says, ''I was wrong;'' when a loser makes a mistake he says, ''It wasn't my fault.'' A winner isn't nearly as afraid of losing as a loser is secretly afraid of winning. A winner works harder than a loser and has more time; a loser is always too busy to do what's necessary. A winner goes through a problem; a loser goes around it and never gets past it. A winner makes commitments; a loser makes promises. A winner says, ''I'm good but not as good as I ought to be;'' a loser says, ''I'm not as bad as a lot of other people.'' A winner listens; a loser just waits until it's his turn to talk. A winner respects those who are superior to him and tries to learn from them; a loser resents those who are superior to him and tries to find chinks in their armor. A winner explains; a loser explains away. A winner feels responsible for more than his job; a loser says, ''I only work here.'' A winner says, ''There ought to be a better way to do it;'' a loser says, ''That's the way it's always been done here.''
Well, that's good advice but I've got some better advice for you. I think I agree with most all that's said there but I want to talk to you about a greater form of winning-winning that we're going to call absolute spiritual victory. Notice God's word, Second Corinthians chapter 2 and verse 14. ''Now ...
