Title: When you hold fast to the word of God in Jesus Christ, you become an overcomer to whom God promises a crown.
“Behold, I am coming quickly! Hold fast what you have, that no one may take your crown. He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.” Revelation 3:11-12 NKJV
It is critical for the child of God that you take on you an overcoming spirit. Overcoming the wicked one happens when we have a strong conviction of the word of God and have known and have had a personal experience of God. (1John2:13-14).
Point of reflection: A strong conviction of the word results from meditating on the word of God prayerfully, the word of God then becomes alive inside you.There are benefits of knowing God personally, holding fast on His word, having a strong conviction of the word and becoming an overcomer. Firstly there is a crown of glory reserved for overcomers of the wicked one- God will put His glory and goodness upon you. Whatever you do will prosper. Secondly, overcomers are made pillars in the house of Jesus Christ- right here on this earth- a distinguished person, a resource person, a giver of fruit and imparter of hope. A light that shines in dark areas of other people, a salt, flavoring and condiment in the life of others. Thirdly to overcomers He promises to write His name upon you and the name of the city of God, the new Jerusalem. You become the place where the different aspects of the life of God is found. The different manifestations of the manifold wisdom of God. Wow! Glory be to God. Overcoming the wicked one starts from within, removing of the negative character traits and manifesting the life and character of Jesus Christ. Do you desire this? When you are ready-
Prayer: Heavenly Father in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for the risen Jesus Christ. I confess you Jesus Christ as Lord of my life from today. I pray for the grace to hold fast onto your word and allow your word to change me on the inside. I cry for the grace to overcome the wicked one Satan. In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.
