ULTIMATE CARE DEVOTIONAL⛪WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 30,2022🪐🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁🎁TODAY’S THEME:BE AN OVERCOMER“Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life”TEXT: Revelation 2:10 (KJV)MESSAGE 🍎An Overcomer is a follower of Jesus Christ who successfully resist the power and temptation of the world’s system. The term overcomer is especially prominent in the Book of Revelation, where Jesus encourages His people to remain steadfast through trials (Revelations 2:26; Rev. 3:21). According to 1 John 5:4-5, an overcomer is anyone that is born of God or anyone who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. So being born again is the source of our overcoming darkness.4 “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?”From our text, Revelation 2:10; receiving the crown of life is a reward for putting your life at the disposal of Jesus Christ. Beloved, Jesus Christ is the only begotten Son of God and due to this nature, He is Omniscient. This means that He knows everything about your life, as in the case of Nathaniel (John 1:47–50);47 “Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these”He foretold the tribulation that the church of Smyrna would go through so that they could prepare their minds and hearts to overcome it, as recorded in Revelation 2: 8-10;8 “And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer: behold, the devil shall cast some of you into prison, that ye may be tried; and ye shall have tribulation ten days: be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life”Dear beloved, our Lord knows whatever it is, you are going through; don’t murmur and complain during challenges or tribulations. Ask God to give you the grace to face your troubles, and you will be given the grace to overcome them (Hebrews 4:16). After you have overcome, you will receive the crown of life, and you will testify of the goodness of the Lord.Always bear in mind that the Christian life is not always cozy and rosy; that way, you can be patient in tribulation and be the winner at the end of the day (Acts 9:10–16). Hallelujah! May you be blessed!PRAYERS♨️Heavenly Father, I thank you for your care and love. Lord Jesus Christ, I bless and praise you for your Word. Indeed no one can be a true Christian without suffering for Your name’s sake. Please give me more grace to overcome tribulations and receive the crown of life to the glory of Your name. Amen!I commend today’s activities into thy hand, I ask for thy protection and care concerning my life and family in Jesus mighty name, Amen. Shower your blessings upon me and grant me peace, in Jesus mighty name, Amen.FURTHER BIBLE READINGREVELATION 2BIBLE READING PLAN FOR THE YEAR, 2022.MORNING: DEUTERONOMY, 28-29EVENING: PHILIPPIANS 4, COLOSSIANS 1.💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦Author: Pastor NseAbasi Harry💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦💦HAMMER WORD BIBLE CHURCH, ABAK, NIGERIA CARES ⛪
