Jesus is the over-comer and we are more than conquerors in Him

Jesus is the conqueror and we get to enjoy His victory over satan at the cross some two thousand years ago. We are more than conquerors in Christ for it is Him who has given us the victory and we need not fight the satan ourselves but only to enforce his defeat in Christ Jesus! Hallelujah!

We can reign in this life for the finished work at the cross. For at the cross, the divine exchange had taken place, our sin for His righteousness, His right standing with God for our state of sin. With His shed blood, we are forgiven of all our sins, past, present and future! We are constantly been cleansed by His precious blood for His blood keeps on keeping on cleansing us of all our sins. It is as if we are placed under the waterfall of His precious blood and the constant flow keeps on washing us in every each way.

In the book of revelation of the bible tells us to behold the sacrificial Lamb of God and the Lion of Judah. This is what the apostle John saw when he thought there is no one worthy to un-seal the seven seals on earth. In it, the bible tells us the sacrificial Lamb looked as if It was just been slain! This speaks of the ever cleansing power of the precious blood of Jesus. While the divine exchange took place some two thousand years ago, we are to appropriate it as though it just happened at the Calvary Hill. We are to see that the finished work at the cross is efficacious throughout time for it is out of time.

The work of Jesus at the cross is more than able to save the very first man on earth and the very last man that will come in the future. We can completely rest in His finished work at the cross knowing whatever is needed has been accomplished at the cross! We are first and foremost made the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. With it, we are blessed with every spiritual blessing. And by His stripe, we are already made whole, healed. We have the shalom peace of Jesus and we can enjoy His unfailing love towards us. For His perfect love casts out all fears!

The bible tells us to seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness and all the things that we will ever need will be added unto us. The bible also defines the Kingdom of God as not about eating and drinking but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit! We are to be at rest knowing without a shadow of doubt regarding our salvation in Christ. It is eternal! For if it is not eternal, we shall never be sure of our redemption in Christ for we will never know which sin or transgression will cause us to lose our salvation in Christ.

The redemptive work of Christ is accomplished by Christ and Christ alone. We have absolutely no part in it except to rest in His finished work and to enjoy what Christ has done for us at the cross! We can rest assured knowing nothing can separate us from God the moment we believe in the salvation of our Lord Jesus Christ. We have the speaking power to proclaim victory in every circumstance. We can proclaim favor in our every situation. And we will see the grace of God pulling through for us! O Lord, it is all about His grace in our lives! His grace has see us thus far in our lives and it will continue to see us through in the future.

We can face every adversary in our lives with full confidence that Jesus will see us through. It is not a question of will He but a matter of His perfect timing to make all things beautiful in our lives! This is the kind of assurance we can have when Christ Jesus willingly gave Himself up at the cross on our behalf to bore all the wrath of God's punishments for our sins and transgressions.

Rest in His finished work at the cross and His grace in our lives and see the material manifestation of the miracles we need. Hallelujah!
