You Are More Than a Conqueror
Scripture thought for today:
No, in all these things we are
more than conquerors through him who loved us.
more than conquerors through him who loved us.
Romans 8:37 (NIV)
Dear Friend,
God wants you to be more than a conqueror today whether you feel like it or not! Everybody experiences difficulties in life. Maybe you've been treated unfairly at work; someone close to you has let you down; circumstances feel insurmountable or dreams seem impossible to reach. Look at what this scripture says you are . . . not just a conqueror but "MORE THAN A CONQUERORS!"
This is an amazing scripture out of context, but it's even better in context. Read Romans chapters 7 and 8 together. WOW! You'll find the apostle Paul addressing issues of suffering and sin. Some trouble we cause ourselves and other trouble comes our way unsolicited. When we choose to live God's way in the midst of life's difficulties we will become "MORE THAN CONQUERORS." Not only will we make it through challenges, but we'll make it through using the "MORE THAN" way . . . which is GOD'S WAY. Not just barely . . . but in a way where "God works all things together for your good!" (Romans 8:28) Even the suffering or sin you are faced with right now is preparing you for a "more than conquering" life.
To give an example--you want to overcome a difficult situation with a person and the angry temper or doubtful attitude that has developed in you as a result of the situation. How do you do it? Well, how did you receive salvation? You came to Jesus and His cross with your life, confessed your troubles and your sin and trusted Him to save you. Then He gave you a new life. Take your life right now with all your "right now" situations to the cross, nail them there, die to your anger or doubt and trust God for a "more than conquering", resurrected life! Let God work all things for your good!
In this next series of messages, "Bad Guys of the Bible," we are going to take a look at why some people were "LESS THAN CONQUERORS." We are going to learn God's way to keep us from a title like that and show us the way to a "MORE THAN CONQUERORS" life. We are praying and believing for you today!
More Than Conquering with You,

P.S. Please keep sending in your testimonies. It's another way to live a "more than conquering" life. "They overcame him, the devil, by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony." (REVELATION 12:11)
