You Are More than a Conqueror

“Make me a captive, Lord, And then I shall be free. Force me to render up my sword, And I shall conqueror be.”

—GEORGE MATHESON

Yet amid all these things we are more than conquerors and gain a surpassing victory through Him Who loved us.

—Romans 8:37

If we begin believing life is too much for us and adopt a “give-up” attitude, we make a big mistake and buy into a lie. The truth is, we are more than conquerors through Christ Who loves us (see Romans 8:37). To me, being more than a conqueror means I know when I begin a trial that I will have the victory. We don’t have to worry or be afraid—God is on our side and we are more than conquerors. We may feel like David in the Bible, standing before Goliath with nothing more than a slingshot, but we have the assurance of God that He is standing with us.

There is nothing in creation—no problem too big that can separate us from the love of God found in Jesus—if we don’t allow it. When you feel overwhelmed, say, “God loves me and I am more than a conqueror through Him.” Don’t believe the devil’s lies when he tries to tell you that you are not going to make it this time. Stop right now and purposely recall other victories you have had in the past. There have been other times when you probably felt you couldn’t go on and yet you are still here. That is a testimony in itself. You are an overcomer!

Be careful how you talk during difficulty because your words affect you. They can strengthen or weaken you depending on what kind of words they are. Be positive. Think victory. Believe God, working in you, is enabling you to do anything you must. This God-kind-of-attitude helps you enjoy life at all times.
