More Than Conquerors
Prayers 1. I will not be overcome; I will overcome by the power in the blood of Jesus. 2. Disappointment, failure, I am not your candidate, perish in the name of Jesus.
It is my prayer that: Where you have failed, you will begin to succeed exceedingly in the name of Jesus. Disappointment and discouragement will be far away from you in the name of Jesus.
Text: Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. (KJV)
Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. (NKJV)
More than conquerors Synonyms of conquerors include victor, captors, defeaters, vanquishers and subjugators. That is who you are. · You are a victor. · You will capture forces and powers that had hitherto captured or molested you. · You will defeat powers and adversaries that had previously defeated you or is defeating you. · You will vanquish – annihilate, exterminate, destroy completely, forces and powers working against you. · You will bring into subjection, powers and situations that had been oppressing you in the name of Jesus. Romans 8 states further that: 35Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. 37Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. 38For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, 39Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Watchword and Nature of More Than Conquerors 1. Don’t be distracted: Joseph was not distracted by alluring lust of the deceitfulness of sin to sleep with his master’s wife being offered to him on a platter of deadly gold (Genesis 39). He avoided the deadly distraction on his way of glory and became the prime minister of Egypt and a notable hero of faith (Genesis 41). On the other hand, David was distracted by a naked woman – Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11). It brought woe and tears to him and his family. There was incest in his family, his older son was murdered by his younger brother. His son Absalom planned and executed a coup plot against him, he had to run away barefooted from Jerusalem. Don’t be distracted by lust and sin on your way to the glorious throne God has prepared for you. 2. Even if you have never won before, you can win and will win battles facing you. Battles that seem insurmountable will be defeated because you are more than a conqueror. An example is when Mohammad Ali defeated the reigning champion and rose to fame in the “Rumble in the Jungle” fight. Mohammad Ali vs George Foreman. The Rumble in the Jungle was a historic heavyweight championship boxing match on October 30, 1974, at the 20th of May Stadium (now the Stade Tata Raphaël) in Kinshasa, Zaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo), between undefeated world heavyweight champion George Foreman and Muhammad Ali. The event had an attendance of 60,000 people. Ali won by knockout in the eighth round. 3. Don’t cut corners. You remember Ben Johnson who was highly celebrated when he won a gold medal in the Olympics for Canada in the 100 meters sprint event. He was stripped of the gold medal when it was discovered that he doped himself with stanozolol. Do not cut corners. 4. You can do the seemingly impossible and/or things declared impossible The Bible states in Luke 1:37 that: For with God nothing shall be impossible. Also, in Matthew 19:26 the Bible declares that: But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Before Roger Bannister ran the four-minute mile, it had never been done before. He took on the challenge, broke the record, set new standards as a pacesetter by doing the seemingly impossible. You are a pacesetter because you are more than a conqueror. You will go forward, mount higher, attain heights considered unattainable, you will break records in Jesus’ name. 5. Your gene is that of a winner. You were made in the image of God, the ultimate winner (Genesis 1:27). Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. (1 Peter 1:23) As many as are born again have the seed of God, the seed of a winner in them because we are overcomers like Christ. (1 John 4:17) Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world. Jesus Christ was not a failure. You will not be a failure. 6. Don't be defeated by not defeating yourself. Because you have been made an overcomer, a conqueror even when you face setbacks or temporary ‘failure’ or disappointments; you have what it takes to recover, you can bounce back, run the race, and still come out as a winner. The Bible says in Proverbs 24:16 that: For a righteous man may fall seven times And rise again, But the wicked shall fall by calamity. A just man falls seven times (often or several times) and rises up again each time. The righteous will not stay down. He will arise.
Wherever the battles of life have knocked you down, you will arise and overcome in Jesus’ name. How Can I Become and Remain More Than a Conqueror? 1. Become born again. 2. Study your Bible 3. Be prayerful 4. Obey the words of God 5. Do not allow discouragement or disappointment to weigh you down 6. Always be ready to keep moving on – from failure to failure to success. Never give up.
