Blessings Of Being An Overcomer!
I don’t know about you but I desire to be, by God’s grace, an overcomer! This morning, I was challenged by these thoughts from one of my devotionals:
“…To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna…”Revelation 2:17 KJV“
“Sometimes you read the word of God as a dry and barren task to satisfy conscience. When is that?
When you are shut up in unbelief and bondage.
But at other times the word of God is read with pleasure, and it is to you the joy and rejoicing of your heart. This is when you can believe it; and thus FAITH turns the word of God into manna.
- But if you are barren, then the Word of God is barren;
- if dead, the Word is dead;
- if cold and lifeless, the Word is so too.
But when the scene changes, when the clouds are dispersed, THEN you see light in God’s light. THEN it is a blessed Bible, a precious book, full of sweet promises and encouraging invitations. It is in THIS way the manna is given to the overcomer.”~ (from Ears From Harvested Sheaves by Joseph C. Philpot)
