Memorize: Romans 8:37 New King James Versions (NKJV)
« Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Christ who loved us. »
Read: 1 John 4:4 New Living Translations (NLT)
But you belong to God, my dear children.
You have already won a victory over those people, because the Spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives in the world.
Message:
Someone once gave an analogy on what it means to be more than a conqueror: When a boxer gets into the ring for a bout, he receives blows and jabs from the opponent; he bleeds and has a swollen face, but in the end if he knocks out his opponent, he is declared the winner.
After receiving the belt, he hands it over to his wife. While he is the conqueror, his wife is the one who is more than a conqueror because without fighting at all, she got what the conqueror fought for.
Our memory verse says We are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. This means that, as Jesus bride, He has already given you victory without a fight; thus, you are more than a conqueror!
« I have told you this so that you will have peace by being united to me. The world will make you suffer. But be brave! I have defeated the world. »
John 16:33GNT
Jesus, our bridegroom has overcome the world on our behalf already.
Therefore, no matter the tribulation around, we will never be down; we will soar above it.
He has also overcome poverty for your sake. 2 Corinthians 8:9NKJV says:
« For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich. »
As long as you are His bride, regardless of your present financial situation, you can’t die poor.
Likewise, Christ has triumphed over sicknesses for you so no disease can stay in your body.
Isaiah 53:5NLT tells us:
« But he was pierced for our rebellion, crushed for our sins. He was beaten so we could be whole. He was whipped so we could be healed. »
Are you His bride?
Are you submissive to Him?
Do you do His will?
Surrender all to Him today and you will become more than a conqueror.
Key point: As long as you are Christs bride, rest assured of continuous triumph.
