Overcomers inherit the blessings!

An overcomer is: “One who succeeds in dealing with or gaining control of some problem or difficulty, one who refused to be defined by any past failure or struggle.” Similar words are: “to defeat, to conquer, to beat, master, prevail, stop.” Therefore, to overcome has to do with one who has to confront problems or difficulties, and defeat or conquer them. In our walk with God, Jesus told us that we would go through difficulties, temptations, persecution, unfair attacks, etc. However, by His Spirit, He gives us the overcoming power to defeat the plans, attacks, tricks, deceits of the wicked one. One very important principle in overcoming is that we have to do our part in standing by faith in agreement with God’s plan for our lives. Sometimes it gets so hard that many have the tendency or desire to simply give up. That is what differentiates the overcomers from the ones who give in to defeat and  give up. We are instructed to “Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.” (Ephesians 6:10). So put on the whole armor of God every day and be that “overcomer” that inherits the promises of God!

Revelation 21:7 “He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.”

Be constant in this!

2 Timothy 2:1 (Amp) says: “So you, my son, be strong [constantly strengthened] and empowered in the grace that is [to be found only] in Christ Jesus.” To be strong is to have physical, moral or intellectual power. It also means: one who is not mild or weak; intense and extreme. Paul told Timothy to be strong and constantly strengthened in the grace that is ONLY FOUND in Christ Jesus! Notice that it says that we are to be strengthened constantly! It’s a daily discipline. We need to be intense and extreme in our pursuing the strength that is found in His grace! It’s time to go all in. Become a radical disciple of Christ. Let the world see Jesus in you! Be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might (Ephesians 6:10). When the storms come, they won’t overwhelm you. When the fire comes, it won’t burn you. When the flood comes, it won’t drown you. Why, because you are strong in His grace. And where do we find this strength and grace? Well, it’s like Paul said. It’s only found in Christ Jesus!

2 Timothy 2:1 “So you, my son, be strong [constantly strengthened] and empowered in the grace that is [to be found only] in Christ Jesus.”
