Called to be Overcomers

Called-to-be-Overcomers

Today’s Reading: Ezek 41:1–42:20, Rev 20:7–21:8, Job 38:34–41

Today’s Theme: Called to be Overcomers

Today’s theme looks at the call we have to be overcomers in Christ. There are great rewards awaiting us so lets live holy lives, killing sin, growing in Christ, being fruitful and faithful to the glory of God.

Ezekiel 41:1–42:20

Called to be multifaceted

a human face toward the palm tree on the one side, and the face of a young lion toward the palm tree on the other side. They were carved on the whole temple all around.(Ezekiel 41:19, ESV)

The prophetic visions are replete with these creature that appear to have some symbolic reference to multifaceted personalities like the God Head Himself. What are we to learn from this? I think it is that we should have an understanding of our dual natures in Christ (Flesh – man vs Spirit – Lion).

Also we must allow God to use is in multiple ways and know how to use reason as men and power like lions, I had to allow the Lion of the Holy Spirit to answer a man this day last year in Malaysia

Be holy

He measured it on the four sides. It had a wall around it, 500 cubits long and 500 cubits broad, to make a separation between the holy and the common.(Ezekiel 42:20, ESV)

We should be separate unto the Lord as holy and make clear divisions between the Holy and Secular in our lives too

Revelation 20:7–21:8

The Bible is Epic

And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them,(Revelation 20:9, ESV)

This reads like the best action film ever, what epic events. We need to open our eyes to the literary quality of the bible, it is an engaging narrative revealing God’s truth.

Eternal punishment

and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.(Revelation 20:10, ESV)

The plain teaching of the bible is that hell is eternal punishment

We will all be held accountable

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done.(Revelation 20:12, ESV)

Everything everyman has ever none has all been recorded and we will be held to account for everything… we need the grace of God not only to be saved but to work out our salvation as Francis Schafer said now we are saved how should we then live.

He has already written your name

And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.(Revelation 20:15, ESV)

Thank you Lord that in your love you chose to write our names in your book of life from the foundation of the world. How awesome is your love.

The day we yearn for

He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”(Revelation 21:4, ESV)

This is the great day our hearts yearn for

Thirsty!

And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment.(Revelation 21:6, ESV)

Yes lord we are thirsty for you, confess your thirst to God today and drink from his abundant supply

Called to be overcomers

The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son.(Revelation 21:7, ESV)

As saints we must be conquerors and overcomer’s. It is not enough to be a “Christian” we must be overcomer’s, defeating sin in our lives, growing and being fruitful as disciples of Jesus Christ

Don’t we cowardly

But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.”(Revelation 21:8, ESV)

We must be bold and brave in standing for the truth and not like the “cowardly” You MUST be bold in your stand for God. Fear God not man.

Job 38:34–41

God has given man understanding

Who has put wisdom in the inward parts or given understanding to the mind?(Job 38:36, ESV)

Wow, this blows me away, and the evolutionary theorist have really bad solutions for this. If man would honestly consider this question then he would give glory to God for the amazing wonder of consciousness, intelligence and understanding

The Animal Kingdom

Who provides for the raven its prey, when its young ones cry to God for help, and wander about for lack of food?(Job 38:41, ESV)

Animals are in communion with God, this is an earth shattering reality
