GOING FORTH, CONQUERING


IN THE BEGINNING…THE WORD
DAILY DEVOTIONAL FOR TODAY, JANUARY 27, 2012

GOING FORTH, CONQUERING

And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. Revelations 6:2

The kingdom of heaven suffers violence, according to Matthew 11:12: And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence and the violent take it by force.
We need to know that Jesus is a conquering Savior who reigns in a conquering kingdom.  To Live in Christ is to live with conquering power, daily. We have to commit our lives to Christ Jesus and surrender to His Spirit as it quickens us to conquer every opposition we have  been called to overcome.  Indeed, we are called to conquer.  This is our birthright as a child of God.  This is what  Jesus did while on earth, and this is what He is still doing in and through his body.  

Today, let us not be weary in well doing, but let us continue in the conquering work of Christ Jesus.
