Overcome :
Lord Jesus says in the book of John 16:33, These things I
have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall
have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. Our Lord was
persecuted, tortured, scourged, smitten, laid crowns on the head, mocked, nailed on
the cross, still He fulfilled the Father’s will. If our savior Lord Jesus Christ
has faced so much, how much are we ??? If our savior has overcome this world,
we, who follow him will also overcome this world.
Most of the disciples were martyred, they knew the consequences
they will face, still, they had strong faith that they will overcome all these
in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Even in the old testament, many prophets
were killed, but they kept their faith in God. We can overcome these things by
obeying God’s word and by His guidance. Acts 5:29 says, Then Peter and
the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God
rather than men. As Lord guided the
disciples, even He will guide in these times of persecution. Fear God, we will
overcome. Matthew 10:28 says, And fear not them which kill the body, but are
not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both
soul and body in hell.
We will overcome !!!
To be continued...
Amen.
