More than Conquerors

ROM 8:37 NIV

No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us.

Indeed,life is a battlefield. I'm not sure there's any place at all in the Bible where God promised us a swell ride through life or a trial-free existence; what He promised us is His Presence and power that will sustain us through all the events that will certainly come our way. We hear of people being told that If they come to Christ, all their problems will be taken away. People come and after a bit of walking with Christ, they get discouraged when it appears that the issues do not seem to be going away. We just must settle in our hearts early enough what following Him entails before we get into it.

He has advised that we count the cost before we follow. He has advised that unless we are ready to abandon father, mother and family, we may not be able to follow him. It then means that coming to him means a total abandonment of everything else; nothing  ese becomes more important than our walk with Jesus. He takes precedence over every other thing and it is his priority that must be our own priority also.  No matter what comes, we rest assured in his Presence that can sustain us through the most distressing circumstances and we know that because we are in him, it is only what is best for us that He will allow to come our way.

His love for us is awesome and inexplicable. His grace and mercy speaks for us long after our wisdom, strength and qualifications have failed. His love will never let us go; he's always there for us, giving us victory and making us triumph over challenges, so that ultimately, our lives can speak of the mercy,grace and power of God. Enjoy his mercy, be grateful for his love, live out the victory his death and life have secured for us, for his time of favour is here.
