Revelation 3: 21
To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
Jesus was an Overcomer and He wants each one of us to be the Over-comers of this world. To be an “Overcomer", it simply means that we need to overcome the lusts and passions of the world, just the way He did, so that the world (or more precisely the prince of the world – the Devil) cannot have a dominion or control over us.
Why do we need to overcome?
We have a constant battle with the evil spirits (even though we may not be aware of it!), which try to trap us into the clutches of this sinful world and stop us getting nearer to God. We are so vulnerable to these attacks (on an everyday basis!) that it is impossible to claim the victory over Satan without fighting it the way Jesus did.
If we do not overcome the world, in no time we would be enslaved by the Devil and we would be steadily heading to Hell even without we knowing it. We cannot please God in our actions if we of not overcome the world.
Are you an overcomer?
If we are constantly following the pattern of this world, being easily influenced by worldly advice, giving into temptations of sin, fearing the world (or in other words, pleasing the people), falling prey to the deadly sin of pride – it is a serious alarm that we are in a great danger!! We may be living in a great deception if we live worldly lives and still believe we live for God. An Overcomer has the world under his heels (never allows the world or worldly systems to influence/control him) – remember that Jesus crushed the head of Satan, the prince of the world, by his heel and so should we, Amen!
You are not an overcomer if,
Prayer:
Father God, I thank You for this beautiful day. Analyze my life, my intentions and my inclinations to see if it pleases You. I want to be not just an ordinary believer, but an “Overcomer”, following the example of Your Son, Jesus Christ. If I am held captive by the clutches of the world today, please reveal it to me and convict me by Your Holy Spirit and help me be an “Overcomer”. I pray in the mighty Name of Jesus, Amen.

You are not an overcomer if,
- You give in to the temptations of sin
- Your focus is in the worldly systems such as education, job/career, entertainment, politics
- You fear the world and constantly try to please the people in your life instead of pleasing God
- You are easily influenced by the patterns of this sickening world – Fashion, trends
- You have worldly heroes/role models (Anything we adore apart from God, is an idol)
- You are overburdened with the cares of the future or the guilt of the past
- You live a life with no thought of Heaven
Prayer:
