GOD SAYS WE ARE ‘MORE THAN’

Romans 8:37 Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

Did you know? Are we remembering? We are ‘More Than’ people! How do I know? Because God has declared us to be more than conquerors! 

When a champion boxer wins a prize fight he also wins a huge money prize. He takes it home to his wife and she gets to spend it! That is like being more than a conqueror. We didn’t fight the battle, Jesus did, and He totally defeated our enemy for us at the Cross. Then He handed us the prize - the power, the title, to overcome the enemy for ourselves by His Spirit and with His Word, and the enemy knows it! Have we forgotten?

How do we conquer and overcome then?  We do it by God’s grace because God has declared that His grace is also more than enough so we are well able to deal with whatever happens today or in the future. God has put His Holy Spirit inside us so we don’t ever have to think or say we can’t cope because it’s ‘Holy Spirit and you’ from now on, not just you, (or me)!

Scripture says to overcome evil with good. I had a friend once who couldn’t get his head round that at all. If anyone did him wrong he’d find a way to get his own back. But that’s not God’s way, is it? Yesterday we saw how praying for, and blessing people is His way, how we overcome by forgiving people even when they don’t deserve it. We didn’t deserve it either, did we, but God forgave us.🙂

No matter what is happening we can remember the power of the Holy One is still inside us, who has all the answers, all the power and He has made it all available to us. 

We won’t be able to change our circumstances ourselves, and we may not feel like it, but we have the privilege to trust our Mighty God to turn the tide of the battle in our favour. He’s given us the power and authority to resist our enemy and see him flee. We have the authority to declare God’s word over our lives “No weapon formed against us shall prosper”(Isaiah 54:17), “the Lord is for us so who can be against us”(Romans 8:31), “nothing can separate us from the love of God”(Romans 8:38-39), I am more than a conqueror, I am an overcomer through Jesus.

We can all go about our lives with the confidence that God has made us “more than” whatever crops up, whether it’s illness, relationship problems, finances, whatever, because we are in Christ. We have His ‘more than’ grace so we don’t need any ‘more than’ that!🙂 

Lord, help us remember You have made us more than conquerors through Jesus. Thank You for Your overcoming grace, thank You for the victory. Amen.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
