Be an Overcomer!

Rejoice in the Lord always, I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me - put into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. - Philippians 4:4-6,8

Do you desire to be an over comer in your day to day life? Philippians 4 gives us some guidance. We are told to Rejoice in the Lord. We are challenged to think on a list of characteristics that help us to be an over comer and pray with thanksgiving. However, all of this is in vain if we don't put into practice what we have seen or heard from the Father. Today reach for these verses and apply them to the doorposts of your heart. Let them well up inside of you. You are an over comer. Remember, we have overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. What will your testimony speak today?

Blessings,
