In Him, we overcome!

The Lord Jesus shared that we would experience difficulties in this life, but He emphatically let us know that in Him we have perfect peace and confidence. John 16:33 (AMPL) says: “I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have [perfect] peace and confidence. In the world you have tribulation and trials and distress and frustration; but be of good cheer [take courage; be confident, certain, undaunted]! For I have overcome the world. [I have deprived it of power to harm you and have conquered it for you.]” We can take courage in Him because He overcame the world. He has deprived the enemy of the power to harm us and has conquered him. Simply put, In Him, we overcome!

your confidence has great reward!

In life, there will be times that people and circumstances come against us. The scriptures reveal how God’s servants went through many problems and persecutions. However, with God on their side, they were delivered time and time again. Romans 8:31 (AMP) says: “What then shall we say to all these things? If God is for us, who can be [successful] against us”? It confirms that we will be challenged, but it also says “who will be successful against us”? so it is not that we will never have problems. The point is that these issues, challenges and persecutions will NOT be successful against us. The key is not to give up or give in. Galations 6:9 says: “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not”. Hebrews 10: 35, 36 “So do not throw away this confident trust in the Lord. Remember the great reward it brings you! Patient endurance is what you need now, so that you will continue to do God’s will. Then you will receive all that he has promised”. Continue to stand in your faith in Christ. Your breakthrough is on its way!
