He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will
be his God, and he shall be my son. (Revelation
21:7)
He that overcome shall inherit all things. Life as we know
is filled with challenges and we face those on a daily basis. We fall and we rise,
and we fall, and we rise, and we try again. Jesus was clear on that when He
said we will see tribulation and we will have a tough time, because we follow
Him. This promise here in Revelations is almost like the prize Paul writes about
when he spoke about the race. Life is a race if you think about today and how
we rush from one day to the next. It is as if time is moving faster and our
days are shorter. What is important here is simply summed up in
determination and courage. God has planned your life ahead and we follow this
plan but sometimes we deviate from it and God needs to realign us. Now there are
two critical aspects of this verse that I wish to highlight. One, if you
overcome this world and all the challenges that the enemy throws at you, you
will inherit all things and you will be a son of God. Two, and this one I will
quote verse 8: But the fearful, and
unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and
sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake
which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. The outcome
of the end is simply a decision. Do you choose to stand up and keep fighting
and never give up, or will you fall and turn away from God? I have been through
pain and hurt and I have been broken like never before, but I stand, and I will
rise above it. I will not let the enemy break my faith with his lies and I will
not give up. It may seem difficult, but I choose to change my perspective and
let God be my guide. I choose to hold on to Him and trust Him so that in the
end I will stand with Him as a son of God.
Have an awesome day.
I love you, my friend in Jesus.
Cheers
