“DAILY COMMUNION WITH GOD”
AT THE TABLE OF LOCKDOWN
21th June, 2020
TOPIC: To Be An Over-Comer
BIBLE READING: – 1 John 5:1-5
To overcome means to triumph, to win or to be victorious, you cannot overcome in isolation. In actual fact the word overcome is only used in relation to certain circumstances. It is therefore impossible to overcome without confrontation. If David did not confront Goliath, he wouldn’t have overcome him. Many people {some of them believers} believe that they need to agitate and exert themselves in order to overcome a problem or difficulty, and so some of them go to prayer revivals where “hot” prayers are offered thinking the hotter the better! This may not necessarily be so. Any prayer that has no grounding in God’s word might as well be forgotten. To overcome, you need your faith. Not mine but yours- so where is your faith?
The battle of life is a different ball game for a believer. We are not like the godless people of the world who struggle in their might min order to stay afloat. That is why Apostle Paul talked about “the fight of faith.” This battle goes on in our hearts and minds, about what God’s word has declared concerning us. To overcome, we need to realise that we are always led in triumphal procession by Christ and so sweet victory can be ours.
Remember: It is not by might, nor by Power, but by my Spirit says the Lord.
I remain your humble Servant Pastor David A. Taiwo {ECWA GOSPEL CHURCH GRA BIDA}
