Victors!
More than conquerors! That's what the Bible says we are. I know you've
heard that many times before, but today I want you to let the reality of
it really sink in. I want you to spend some time meditating about what
those terms actually mean.
The dictionary says that
victory means
"final and complete supremacy or superiority in battle or war, success
in any contest or struggling involving the defeat of an opponent or the
overcoming of obstacles."
To
conquer means "to get the
better of in competition or struggle, to master, suppress, prevail over,
overwhelm, surmount, to gain superiority, to subdue, to vanquish, to
crush, to defeat."
Once you get those definitions firmly in mind,
you'll realize in Jesus you've gotten much more than a ticket to heaven.
You've gotten the best of the world you're living in now. Through Him,
you've overcome it, mastered it, suppressed it and prevailed over it.
No
wonder 1 Corinthians 15:57 shouts, "Thanks be to God Who gives us the
victory, [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ"
(The Amplified Bible)!
Why
don't you shout too! Shout thanks to God today for making you an
overcomer. Praise Him that you are joined up with the One who has
conquered the world, the flesh and the devil. Shout hallelujah and enjoy
the victory!
