We are Overcomers in Christ

Psalms 84:11”For the LORD God is our sun and our shield. He gives us grace and glory. The LORD will withhold no good thing from those who do what is right.”

Hi friends,

Hope you are doing good. I just would like to testify of the Lord’s goodness and faithfulness.We have been blessed with a new home, an answer to a long awaited prayer.  When His children ask anything in accordance with His will, it will be done. Maybe not immediately but we can be sure that if we pray like this: “Father; this is my desire, let your will be done and in your perfect timing. I trust that you always know what is best for your children. Be it unto me according to your Word, according to your promises I shall stand secure.”  You will surely watch and see things come to pass. God is no respecter of persons what He has done for us, He will definitely do for you!

This week I’d like to encourage those of you who are going through a tough time and feel no answers coming. This poem below is a reminder of who you are in Christ- AN OVERCOMER. It has been a tremendous encouragement to me. Be blessed!

THE OVER COMER – BY DAVID W MCCRACKEN

The battle I know surrounds us

No doubting that it’s real,

But we have to see our victory

Is not in how we feel. 

Its reality is because of Calvary,

Authority is now our own

We view it not from our humanity

But from a heavenly throne.

 As I’m seated with my Savior

And His grace now fills my heart

I treat my adversary with contempt

And determine to play my part.

 Not intimidated nor diverted

By my enemies beguiling talk,

With Christ within my reality

In boldness I make my walk.

The triumph is not in avoidance

But in the joy as I overcome

So I’ll laugh in the face of my enemy

Not cringe in the shadows like some.

I’ll declare the Word with boldness

“It is written” shall be my cry.

Satan is a mere distraction

Failing miserably in his try.

 My life set free to focus

On the greatness of God’s call

Not shackled by a worrying

If I’ll stand or I’ll fall.

 Confusion and intimidation

Belong to those who in neutral lie

But I will forge ever forward

With resolute gaze and head held high. 

I am not called to meditate

On the possibilities of defeat

But to see God’s awesome majesty

And now Satan under my feet.

The keys of victory in spirit

Lie in a victorious overcoming Lord

Who fills my every consciousness

Not my enemy or his horde

Consumed by my Father’s beauty

Every day to possess His call

 I reach to embrace my future

To give His call my all 

So victory is now assured

As His greatness fills my heart,

This will be my confession

As each new day I start!
