MORE THAN A CONQUEROR

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A CONQUEROR? (Rev.6:1-2)

Christ Jesus is our conqueror and if you are in Him, then you also have become a more than conqueror. Even though you didn’t fight, because you are a winner which God makes you, then you are a conqueror. Rom.8:37. Faith and confidence is required to be a conqueror. In Joshua 1:6-9; God repeatedly told Joshua to be strong and courageous. This is not the confidence in your ability or strength, but your confidence in God. Just as every parent wants to see confidence in their children, God wants to see in you your confidence in Him. Heb.6:12. David was highly confident in the Lord. 1Sam.17:32, 37. The three Hebrew boys; Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego had confidence in God. Dan.3;.

To be God confident is to be fully persuaded of the faithfulness of God and the integrity of His word the prevailing circumstances notwithstanding.

When your confidence is not in place, you draw God back and He will not be pleased with you. Heb.10:35-38; 1Sam.17: 45, 50. Your confidence is required and you will see the Lord finish up the job. Heb.6:12-17. When you have God to your side, you are confident of Him.

THINGS TO KNOW

1.    Recognise that you are redeemed to reign. Rev.5:9-10. You must demonstrate your reign over the devil. That is why you didn’t die to go to heaven after you are in Christ. The earth must experience your rule and reign.

2.    Confidence is all about inner strength in the days of battle. Eph.3:16, Prov.24:10.

3.    God’s confident believers are empowered to be more than conquerors. Ps.125:1-3, Prov.30:30.

4.    The secret of their God confidence is in the genuineness of their love for God. Rom 8:35-38, I Sam 13:14.

5.    The hotter ones love for God, the stronger is the confidence in God. I Sam 17:32-37/45-50.

THE TRIUMPH OF CONFIDENCE (Num.13:30)

·       Caleb displayed utmost confidence with Joshua.

·       Joseph also was absolutely confident in God all his life.

God will not declare you a more than conqueror if He hasn’t programmed and prepared you for it. Num.14:6. To be God-confident is to see prophecies fulfilled. Abraham was confident in the Lord and His prophecies were fulfilled in his life. Eccl.3:14. In Gen.41: 38-41, God made His promise to be fulfilled in the life of Joseph. Habk.2:3.

Whatever the Lord doeth, it shall be forever, though it tarry, it will surely come, it will not tarry.
