We Overcome the World
We overcome. That’s what we do. That is, if you’re born of God. “for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith” (1 John 5:4). Notice this scripture is not conditional in it’s import. It didn’t stop to assess the size of the obstacle before it declares that we overcome. Overcoming is who we are. It’s what we do. It’s in our DNA. The world kicks ass and takes names. The church should be known for overcoming obstacles and collecting testimonies. Step up higher on the obstacles in your life. Overcome them, and become a testimony collector.
Simple Reminders of who we are, what we have, and what we can do in Christ can empower us to overcome in virtually every area of life. Countless times in scripture we are commanded to remember. Remembering causes the current monsters we’re facing to shrink before our eyes.
Remembering that God is working in us, on us, around us and through us causes the believer to become bold as a lion. And remembering how our Heavenly Father has delivered us from situations and circumstances in our lives that at one point looked bleak, strengthens us to endure present circumstances knowing that the God of deliverance still lives.
