TOPIC: MORE THAN A CONQUEROR
Fire Scripture: Romans 8:35 – 39
Outline
Life is a battle and not just a preparation for battle. Job 14:1 says, “Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.” Life is also a problem solving process; as you solve one, another battle emerges. As a believer, the moment you declare Jesus Christ as your Lord and Personal Saviour, you have unconsciously drawn a battle line between you and the devil.
The battle of life does not have regard for any human status. Christians are not exempted from it. The truth is that there is no victory without contest. For you to be a conqueror you must have been involved in one contest or the other and come out victorious. As it is in the physical, so it is in the spiritual. The devil and his hosts are always seeking to be in conflict with Christians.
Thank God for Jesus who has secured our victory on the cross at Calvary (Col. 2:14-15). A conqueror is an overcomer, a champion, a person that cannot be defeated by the enemy, a victorious person. On the contrary, whoever fails to be a conqueror will eventually become a victim of satanic defeat and always be at the mercy of the enemy. Such a person will end up being unable to fulfill his divine purpose. That will not be your portion, in Jesus’ name.
Having established all these, how can one be more than a conqueror? You must confess Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour. You must turn away from your wicked ways. You must face the battle of life with certainty, with assurance that you are a winner! This is because in Christ you are assured of your victory before embarking on the battle. He who is more than a conqueror smiles at the storm because Christ is in the vessel.
David demonstrated this before Goliath, he declared himself a winner before the battle started (I Sam 17). Remember that He also fights on behalf of His children. All through the Old Testament, God proved Himself as the Man of War.
The death and resurrection of Jesus Christ is our ticket to victory over satan and his cohorts. As a true believer in Christ, you are an overcomer already through Jesus Christ who loved you and died for you.
Memory Verse
Romans 8:37 – Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
