YOU ARE MORE THAN A CONQUEROR (2)
(Romans 8:36-37) As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long;
we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we
are more than conquerors through him that us.
To be more than a conqueror means that before you ever get a problem,
you already know that whatever problem comes your way, you can
overcome it through Christ. You live with confidence that God loves you
no matter what and He will never leave you nor forsake you. As a
believer, you are not only victorious over sin and hardship through Christ
but have spiritual advantage and triumph in your struggles. You have
ultimate victory through God's unwavering love and power. As a child of
God and joint-heirs with Christ, you have the confidence to face adversity
with resilience and spiritual strength.
As children of God and joint-heirs with Christ, believers possess a
divine inheritance and secure position in God's family. This relationship
provides confidence that God's favor is final and His love is everlasting,
making ultimate loss impossible. You are more than a conqueror.
Unlike a mere conqueror, you a more-than-conqueror can experience
increased faith and joy in the midst of persecution and hardship. Trials
become opportunities for God to work and for spiritual growth,
producing perseverance, character, and hope.
Beloved, a conqueror defeats his enemy, but one who is more than a
conqueror subjugates his enemy. A conqueror nullifies the purpose of his
enemy; one who is more than a conqueror makes the enemy serve his
own purposes. A conqueror strikes down his foe; one who is more than a
conqueror makes his foe his slave. The Bible verse in 1 John 5:4
underscores the power of our faith in overcoming worldly challenges.
You can only overcome any obstacle and emerge stronger when you
have more than conqueror mentality. Beloved, until you develop the
more than a conqueror mentality, you will be a specimen in the hands of
the oppressors.
Child of God, all those things that oppose you - persecution and famine
and sword, earthly and demonic powers - those may affect your
situation. But they can’t touch your identity. I want you to know that you
are more than a conqueror and cannot be defeated by anything. No
matter what, the lion cannot eat grass. You are a prime specimen entity
and you are more than a conqueror. Shalom!
Thought for the day: We have age mates, there are no Grace mates.
Prayer: My Father, my Maker, by the operations of more than a
conqueror mentality at work in me, I decree that I cannot be defeated in
Jesus name, Amen
