‘’The one who loves us gives us an overwhelming victory in all these difficulties’’ - Romans 8:37 (GW)
There are challenges that appear extremely overwhelming and insurmountable. These challenges can be described as "mountains" on the path of man. The Holy Spirit recorded many examples of such mountain-like issues in the Bible. For instance, in 1 Samuel 17:1-51, everyone in Israel were intimidated, embarrassed and terrorized by an overwhelming mountain-like creature called Goliath for forty days. The elements of fear and intimidation oozing out of that mountain succeeded in paralyzing the entire nation of Israel. Everyone was traumatized by the threat of a 9 feet, 9 inches Big Unfriendly Giant who had impressive track records of conquering whosoever dared to confront him. But one day, God raised a mountain climber, giant killer, and a licensed overcomer in David, the son of Jesse. He addressed the intimidating mountain, deleted Goliath and terminated the long time harassment/embarrassment in the land of Israel (1 Samuel 17:46, 51). What an overwhelming victory!
Beloved, what is that mountain-like challenge or Goliath that is standing before you today? It doesn't matter how many people the mountain or giant has conquered, but as the Lord lives, you and your household will not be conquered by it. God is ready to raise another set of giant killers/ mountain movers in our generation. Do you want to be one of them? Are you really interested? If your answer is in the affirmative, then I can assure you that what has swallowed others will not swallow you. You cannot be humiliated by Goliath again. Rather, you will be inducted into the league of more than conquerors and start experiencing overwhelming victories on every side.
The wonderful hymn below describes our overwhelming victory and overcoming status in Christ Jesus:
MORE THAN CONQUEROR ARE WE By C.H Morris
Conqueror and overcomers now are we
Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve
Victory
If the Lord for us, we can never fail
Nothing against His Mighty power can ever
Prevail
CHORUS:
Conquerors are we,
Through the blood of Jesus
God has giving us victory
Thro’ the blood of Jesus
Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain
Yet who lives and reign again
More than conquerors are we
More than conquerors are we.
In the name of Israel’s God
We all onward press
Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness
Not to us, but unto Him the praise shall be
For salvation and for blood brought victory
Unto him that overcometh shall be power
Here to eat of hidden manna sent
From heaven over yonder be the
Victors palm shall bear
And a robe of white and golden crown
Shall wear.
May every giant problem threatening our peace, harassing, and intimidating us and our household perish like Goliath this day in Jesus name. And may our overwhelming victory and overcoming status be evidenced on all sides till we see Christ in glory.
