Just as a Soldier (Part 2)

Happy weekend everyone,

Last time, I took a look at Revelation 12:11, where I explained how those born of God overcame the schemes by the blood of the Lamb and the words of their testimony. With that I explained that there is one thing to overcome through the blood of the Lamb, thus confessing the victory Christ has given us through faith, while another is to showcase the victory of Jesus is your everyday life and how the victory came to play thus giving glory of God which in turn overcomes the devil, this is the testimony that Revelation 12:11 talked about.

Revelation 12:11 says, “And they have overcome (conquered) him [the devil] by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing].” AMP. Overcoming the devil with the devil the blood of the Lamb and with the words of our testimony is like completely ignoring the devil, which makes the devil very angry, because you keep meditating on the word day and night confessing the victory of Christ and how the victory keep manifesting in your life, this is so deep that you don’t have time to listen to the devil because you are occupied with the word of God. But it doesn’t end there.

The second half of the verse says, “…for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death [holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing].” AMP. We need to understand that the moment we become born of God, Jesus becomes our life, in other words, what the second part of the verse means is that those who overcame did not love themselves, they were willing to die for Christ. On a normal day, a man is ready to die for his life, which is the same for those born of God, just that what we call life differs from that regular man call life, Christ is our life [ref.: Colossians 3:4].

To go the extra mile to die for your life is to have proper understanding that what we used to call life is practically worthless compared to what we received in Christ, thus we have seen the great value which cannot be compared with the human understanding, that which is priceless. Until we get to this level, it would appear as if those who do this have lost their minds, and it would also give room for the devil to attack you with his deception. So, really, the choice is yours.

May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.

                    

Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
