Overcomers

I have always been fascinated with the concept of overcoming – with all my heart, I want to be an overcomer in God’s Kingdom. The Book of Revelation declares 8 things that will happen for those who overcome:

Overcomers will eat from the tree of life

Rev. 2:7 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”’

Overcomers will be saved from death

Rev. 2:11 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.”’

Overcomers will receive heavenly manna and a new name

Rev. 2:17 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.”’

Overcomers will be given power to rule over nations

Rev. 2:26 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations—

Overcomers will be clothed in white garments and presented before the Father by name

Rev. 3:5 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.

Overcomers will become pillars in God’s house and He will write His name on them

Rev. 3:12 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name.

Overcomers will sit with King Jesus on His throne

Rev. 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.

Overcomers will inherit all things and will be known as sons of God

Rev. 21:7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.

Father – may we be worthy of these things – may we be pleasing to You – may we overcome as Jesus overcame - may we sit with You and worship You for ever – Amen!
