Bible Reading: Rev. 12: 7 - 12
Topic: The Overcomers
The two groups of
overcomers mentioned in today's passage have at least one thing in common -
they stand on the Lord's side!
First, Michael and the
other Angels who chose to obey God overcame satan and his demons. With this
defeat, the entire host of demons lost their place in Heaven and were pushed
down to the earth (vs. 7 - 9)
The Second group of
overcomers, obviously human, also overcame satan "by the blood of the Lamb
and the word of their testimony" (vs. 10 - 11)
Every time satan is
defeated in our lives and circumstances, we reaffirm the victory shout in v. 10
that, ". . . . . . salvation and strength and the Kingdom of our God and
the Power of His Christ have come . . . ."
How should we employ these
two weapons today?
Accepting the finished
work of Christ concerning our salvation and consistent reading, study,
meditation and application of the Word of God are the obvious answers.
Determine today to apply
this in your life.
From v. 11b it is clear
that the path to being an overcomer may involve some costs, (see also Luke 14:
27), but the benefits far outweigh these costs as explained in Phil. 3: 7 - 8
Prayer
Help me O God to be an
overcome, in Jesus Name, Amen.
Memory Verse Rev. 12: 11
"And they (the Saved
of Christ) overcame him (satan) by the Blood of the Lamb, and by the word of
their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."
