More Victorious Than Conquerors

UV 3392/10000 More Victorious Than Conquerors
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Romans 8 v 37

Success is found on the mountain tops but victory is in the valleys of struggle. Jesus enables us by His grace and His word to overcome all the challenges we face in life and emerge victorious in each valley of our lives. Success produces happiness that we succeeded in achieving set goals while victory produces lasting joy that the Lord helped us overcome. Man’s quest for conquest is insatiable in every sense but we have deep satisfaction, fulfilment and rest that no conqueror enjoys even after his last conquest. We find our strength, comfort and rest in His love.

We are able to overcome the highs and lows, the dangers and threats, the vicissitudes of changing fortunes by holding onto the hope that we have in Christ. He will not let go of us or give up on us. He remains strong and faithful as a Rock even when we are tossed up and down by the waves of doubt, fear and despair. He is steadfast and consistent in fulfilling His promises to us. Even the greatest conquerors feared death and eventually succumbed to death but we have eternal life in Christ and hence, we do not fear death.

We live the present life in the flesh not as we love life but that we love Christ. His agape love gives us hope, meaning, power and purpose. He has taught us that love is the most excellent and we know that His love is perfect. As we imbibe His love and imitate His love in our lives, we are victorious. We are not defeated by any of the accusations of the enemy or any events or changes in our circumstances. Like conquerors, we keep pushing back the boundaries of fear, doubt, sin and weakness and increase or expand His territory, His influence and power or His kingdom in our lives.
