Matthew
28:18, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19Go ye therefore, and teach
all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the
Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even
unto the end of the world. Amen.”
According
to the Bible, we know that God is always the VICTOR! God is Sovereign
in power and authority and when He is challenged He always WINS. In
the book of Exodus, when God was bringing His people out of slavery
in Egypt, Satan challenged God. God said, “let My people go,” and
ten times Satan replied through his servant Pharaoh, No! God
responded with ten plagues of pestilence, disease, and death. The
Israelites were protected. God was VICTORIOUS! Satan challenged God
again at the Red Sea. With Pharaoh's army behind them and the Red Sea
before them, Moses and the children of Israel had nowhere to go
except to God. God’s response, “...stand still, and see the
salvation of the LORD,” Exodus 14:13. God miraculously divided the
Red Sea and Israel walked through on the dry ground. When all of Israel
had reached the other side, the waters miraculously returned to their
former state drowning the entire Egyptian army. God is always
VICTORIOUS!
That
same Bible teaches us that Jesus will WIN this present raging
spiritual war! Though the enemy rises up to interfere with our
mission, our victory has already been secured. Jesus declared victory
at Calvary as He proclaimed, “It is finished!” John 19:30, “When
Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished:
and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.” God sent Jesus to be
the Savior of the world, to take upon Himself the sin of all men and
pay the awful price for sin. That price was the death of the
sacrifice, His sacrifice. But, in three days Jesus came out of the
grave to declare our final victory over death, hell and the grave.
Consequently, He embodies the Power of God to Prevail over all
things, “...of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things
under the earth,” Philippians 2:10. Jesus is our power to prevail.
Jesus Gives Us Power To Overcome!
