-REVELATION 17:9-14
Key Verse: “These shall
make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is
Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called,
and chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:14).
T
he rash of scary problems all over the world indicates the imminence of
the end of this world and revelation of Jesus as King of
kings and Lord of lords.
The battle lines are drawn, and the greatest confrontation in the
history of this world is about to begin.
The Antichrist and false
prophets have gathered armies to wage war against Christ and His saints.
In their pride and self-will, they prepare
to fight against their
Creator. But they shall be destroyed beyond recovery.
Although the Bible presents the world as estranged from God and seized
by Satan, Christians must wage continual warfare against him and his
cohorts.
One of Christ’s purposes for coming to the world was to bind
Satan and set at liberty those enslaved by him.
Christians have dominion
over evil powers because Christ has given us power and authority to
cast out devils. He says, “In my name shall they cast out devils; they
shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they
drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on
the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:17,18). We can experience
all-round victory through faith in Christ who died for us on the Cross.
As Christians, we should be confident that Christ won the final victory
for us and He is in control of everything.
He declared: “All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth”. He has triumphed over sin, Satan,
affliction,
oppression, sickness and poverty. As you believe today, victory is sure
and you shall continue to live a victorious Christian life by abiding
continually in the Lord and His word.
Thought for the day: Through Jesus, the accuser of the brethren is forever defeatedThrough Jesus, the accuser of the brethren is forever defeated
