Overcome All


Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

- Psalm 34:19. 

Living a godly life style will always attract afflictions and persecutions in this world, because Satan is the god of this world (2 Corinthians 4:4), the redeemed are not of this world (1John 4:4), but of God and are ambassadors of Christ, here in this world.

2 Timothy 3:12 says,
"Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution."
Where? Here in this world. The godly will suffer rejection.
But Jesus speaking in John 16:33 says,
"These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."

The main text says, "... the Lord delivereth him out of all afflictions" when we remove "all" out of anything, what we have left is nothing. So when afflictions, persecution, tribulation etc., is taken out, it means we only have good things left, since the negative ones are out of the way, right?
Many people are afraid of the afflictions, persecution or the tribulation. Due to fear, they have form league with the devil (the god of this world), some intentionally, others ignorantly, to enable them live a life of pleasure (deceitfulness of riches) for a season, then die miserably, afterward face condemnation.

But, Matthew 10:28 says,
"... fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

Man is a free moral agent; the choice is absolutely yours to make; light afflictions which is but for a moment, and is overcome-able here and now (true riches is only found in Christ), and in the world to come you have life everlasting (Mark 10:30)., or the pleasure of sin for a season, and afterwards condemnation to hell.

To the redeemed; Power, Riches, Wisdom, Strength, Honour, Glory and Blessing are available here and now (Revelation 5:12).

Jesus is Lord!

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

SPIRITUAL KNOWING

  But when the Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy, and spake against those things which were spoken by Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Acts 13:45 In life you will face some vicious attacks from people, their reasons may seem reasonable to many [natural minds]; but their real intent, concealed. From the above text, observe the real reason the Jews were contradicting what the Apostles had said. When they saw the multitudes, they became envious. But they wouldn't come out to show their real intent; but will work up something else as the main reason.  This is why as a Christian, you can't allow yourself to be limited by the things you see, hear or feel, because they can be deceptive. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of truth, let Him guide you into all truth.  "For he knew that the chief priests had delivered him for envy." Mark 15:10 Go beyond the physical, and sense realm. Go spiritual [there's a spiritual knowing].  Jesus is Lord!  Mark Enah...

PROSPER

 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2. The mind consist of one's will, intellect and emotions; which is the soul of man. At salvation the spirit of man; which is also referred to as the heart gets quickened or made alive (But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible,... ) 1 Peter 3:4  The heart is saved, the soul is not. You [we] have a duty to save our soul; and it has to be done through studying the word and meditating upon the word, that's when the transformation of mind/soul begins. Romans 12:2  "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." As you spend more time in the Word of God; like a mirror you beginning to see your true identity from it. This is the reason we are admonished to study the Word of God. Satan knows this, so he tries...
