More Than Conquerors
Romans 8:37 (NKJV) Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.
We are supposed to be more than conquerors in the midst of tribulation! It is when we are so convinced about the perfect love of God that nothing shall be able to separate us from His love. It is God who has justified us or made us righteous before Him so that the devil cannot condemn us. We are more than conquerors because Jesus is at the right hand of the Father interceding for us and the Holy Spirit is interceding through us when we don’t know what to pray.
What good news it is that God’s will is being prayed out for our lives whenever the Holy Spirit is praying through us, or Jesus is interceding for us in heaven. No distress, tribulation, famine, nakedness, peril, including the global economic crisis or COVID-19, shall be able to separate us from the love of God! That’s why we are more than conquerors because God is with us and for us!
These are the spiritual blessings that we need to bear in mind and acknowledge when we walk out the lifestyle of faith before the Lord. It will help us in our prayer life because Scripture tells us that the prayer of a righteous man avails much!
Judges 6:14 (NKJV) Then the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours, and you shall save Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?”
Just like Gideon had to believe what he heard from the Lord and how God looked at him before he responded to the call to conquer the Midianites with only 300 soldiers, we also need to acknowledge how God looks at us in order for us to ride through this economic crisis. When we have our identity sorted out, we can concentrate on believing God to for a breakthrough or a turnaround. We can also pray through the crisis, hear from God and work on those things that He is leading us through, and receive grace to help in time of need with confidence.
Hebrews 11:33-34 (NKJV) who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
This Scripture recounts how the Old Testament saints experienced God when they trusted in Him. All of them are cheering us on in heaven as they observe what we are going through in our lives now. In fact, how we are facing this crisis, how we respond in faith and the way we are walking it out are being recorded in our case files right now! You and I are also in the “Hall Of Faith” because the righteous shall live by faith.
