Whoever has ears, let them hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to eat from the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God. (Revelation 2:7 NIV)
Message
This verse in Revelation reminded us of the war that we are engaged with every single day. We all know this and it is indicated in John 16:33 that would indeed encounter troubles, but i is also indicated in that same verse that we should take heart for the Lord have overcome the world.
Another thing that was impressed in me while diving into this devotion was to be prepared for war. Suite up for war as the Lord has already shared with us the armor to wear. I have indicated a post related to this as a reference here.
Promise
If we are prepared and suite up for the battle we should have no other worries for we are prepared and the Lord is on our side. More so Victory is already ours no matter what the enemy said. We have a God that conquered the world and nothing of the enemy can change that.
Command
suite up for war and stand firm in the Lord. Declare His name for He is already victorious and through his victory we too are victorious.
Warning
In this world, we will encounter tribulations but take heart the Lord have overcome the world.
Application
Declare the victory of Christ in this life. Be reminded of the Cross that saved us all and made us part takers of the victory of Christ. Remember to suit up for the battle for the Lord did not share that without a purpose.
