We Are More Than Conquerors

"Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or
famine or nakedness or danger or sword?
As it is written: 'For your sake we face death
all day long; we are considered as sheep to be
slaughtered.'

No in all these things we are more than conquerors
through Him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death nor life,
neither angels nor demons, neither the present
nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor
depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able
to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ
Jesus our Lord."

Romans 8: 35-39


This is one of the most powerful and awesome promise of the Lord in the Bible. If we accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior, and if we surrender our lives to Him, then no power in the whole universe could ever separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. We are therefore more than conquerors through Christ who loves us so much that He died on the cross for us. As He has conquered sin, disease and death and all the curses of Satan through His death on the cross and His triumphant resurrection, we can avail of the full power of the resurrection power of Jesus Christ to overcome the devil and all his wiles. Thus we shall be able to conquer all the obstacles and temptations thrown our way by the devil through that everlasting promise of our Lord that He will never leave us nor forsake us.

The Narrow And Wide Gates

"Enter through the narrow gate.
For wide is the gate and broad
is the road that leads to destruction,
and many enter through it.

But small is the gate and narrow
the road that leads to life, and
only a few find it."

Matthew 7: 13-14


Wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction and many enter it. And small is the gate and narrow is the road that leads to the kingdom of God and only a few find it. People are blinded by the pleasures of the world and blindly tread the path to destruction in pursuit of happiness and recognition. Like brilliant baubles, these tempting allures of Satan have mesmerized men to follow the enchanting tune of the pied piper from hell. Surely, if we follow the dictates of those who are worldly, we will be missing the true path to the kingdom of God. How narrow and uneventful that path is. It is also littered with so many pebbles and stones that hinder those who would tread that path. Trials and temptations are on every step of the way. But for those who will persist in trudging that path and finishing the trail to the very end, a crown of glory awaits them from the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Theirs will be eternal bliss with the Lord forevermore.

The Name Above All Names

"Your attitude should be the same as that of Jesus Christ:
'Who, being in very nature God,' did not consider equality
with God something to be grasped, but made Himself
nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made
in human likeness.

And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled
Himself and became obedient to death- even death on
a cross!

Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave
Him the name that is above very name, that at the name
of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth
and under the earth and every tongue confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."

Philippians 2:5-11


Someday, at the end of the ages, this prophecy will be fulfilled. Jesus Christ will be revealed to the world in all His heavenly glory. He left the earth broken and in shame. He will return to earth in full majestic glory unparalleled in the annals of this world. And at that time, all knees in heaven, on earth and under the earth shall bow down before the King of kings and the Lord of lords. Even Satan and his minions and all who followed his evil ways will be made to bow down before the King by the mighty swords of the avenging angels. But to those who have remained faithful and true up to the very end, the blissful reunion with the King will be ushered in and there shall be widespread rejoicing among the true followers of Jesus Christ.
