Excerpt18 - The Leaders - Overcomers

The explanation for the Christians’
overcoming life in Christ is: a. Their covering (Revelation 12:11), "the
blood of the Lamb," b. Their conviction,
"the word of their testimony," c. Their covenant, "They loved not their
lives unto the death." The reward for this overcoming is: a. Revelation 2:7, "to eat of the tree of life."
b. Revelation 2:11, "shall not be hurt of the
second death."
c. Revelation 2:17, "to eat of the hidden
manna."
d. Revelation 2:26, "to him will I give power
over the nations."
e. Revelation 2:28, "I will give him the morning star."
f. Revelation 3:5, "the same shall be clothed
in white raiment."
g. Revelation 3:12, "Him.... will I make a
pillar in the temple of my God."
h. Revelation 3:21, "To him that overcometh
will I grant to sit with me in my
throne." That’s the ultimate reward
and glory. You may give a man an office in the church,
but you cannot give him authority -
nor can you withold it.
Divine authority is divinely given. Romans 8:37, "more than conquerors,"
is an exclamation of jubilation
for the soul’s emancipation!
