MORE THAN CONQUERORS - We live in a time of great shaking in the nations of the earth. But as you’re faithful to Him, God will make you an overcomer — not just surviving, but thriving! For God’s people, it doesn’t matter what’s going on with the stock market or the world’s economy — He wants His people to prosper! If you’re obedient to Him, it becomes His responsibility to bless you, so you can be a blessing to others. But in order to be an overcomer, you need more than just head knowledge of the Bible — you must act on what it says. These are not just believers in name only! They fear the Lord, spend time in His presence, witness for Him, and faithfully sow their offerings into His Kingdom. Of such people, God declares, “They shall be Mine… on the day that I make them My jewels.” Remember: The Lord didn’t create you to be ordinary or average — He created you to be a precious jewel, His special treasure! You belong to Him, and when you walk with Him in an intimate covenant relationship, He takes full responsibility for your needs. The Bible declares that God doesn’t want His children to just barely find victory over the circumstances of life — He wants us to be “more than conquerors through Him who loved us” However, this overwhelming victory in Christ doesn’t come automatically or without effort. Sanctification must be a daily commitment, not just a one-time experience — and we will never succeed in this unless we’re dedicated to prayer.

The Bible declares that God doesn’t want His children to just barely find victory over the circumstances of life — He wants us to be “more than conquerors through Him who loved us” (Romans 8:37).

However, this overwhelming victory in Christ doesn’t come automatically or without effort.

God’s Word instructs us to

o  sanctify ourselves (Joshua 3:5),

o  lay aside every weight of sin (Hebrews 12:1), and

o  cleanse our garments (Revelation 3:18).

This sanctification must be a daily commitment, not just a one-time experience — and we will never succeed in this unless we’re dedicated to prayer.

In Luke 18:1-8, Jesus shares a parable about finding victory through prayer, saying we “always ought to pray and not lose heart.”

A widow pleaded her case so persistently before the unjust judge that he finally granted her request.

Like this desperate woman, we must learn to pray in faith, refusing to give up until our petitions have been granted.

Even if it seems at first that our prayers aren’t being answered, we must not become weary in our intercession.

As an overcomer, God says we will reap our harvest “in due season” (Galatians 6:9) — and I know your “due season” is coming!

We live in a time of great shaking in the nations of the earth (Hebrews 12:26-28).

But as you’re faithful to Him, God will make you an overcomer — not just surviving, but thriving!

For God’s people, it doesn’t matter what’s going on with the stock market or the world’s economy — He wants His people to prosper!

If you’re obedient to Him, it becomes His responsibility to bless you, so you can be a blessing to others (Genesis 12:2).

But in order to be an overcomer, you need more than just head knowledge of the Bible — you must act on what it says.

Malachi 3:16-17 tells us God is preparing “a book of remembrance” containing the names of all those who are faithful to Him.

These are not just believers in name only!

They fear the Lord, spend time in His presence, witness for Him, and faithfully sow their offerings into His Kingdom.

Of such people, God declares, “They shall be Mine… on the day that I make them My jewels.”

Remember: The Lord didn’t create you to be ordinary or average — He created you to be a precious jewel, His special treasure!

You belong to Him, and when you walk with Him in an intimate covenant relationship, He takes full responsibility for your needs.

LOOK BEYOND THE BLESSING - We seek the Lord for His blessings, prosperity, and success. But true discipleship is focusing not on the blessings of the Lord, but on the Lord of the blessings! We can rejoice in our blessings, but let's not dwell on them! Let's set our eyes on the Lord and the calling He has for us. When He sees that we have pure and willing hearts, He will be faithful to use us to accomplish His glorious plan - “Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy people.” Yeshua (Jesus) told His disciples to go into the deep waters and let down their nets for fish. When they did, their nets were filled up with fish to the point of breaking. Being fishermen and businessmen, they may have been tempted to start doing business. I mean, think how much they could make! But God had a different purpose. The disciples' occupation as fishermen was just a vehicle for God to demonstrate His great power and love. He wasn't blessing them with fish so that they would get excited about fishing -- He was blessing them with fish so that they could get their eyes off their fishing and on to the greater call He had for them! Thankfully, they left the fishing business and went off with the Lord to do great and mighty things. Too many of us are wrapped up in fish. We seek the Lord for His blessings, prosperity, and success. But true discipleship is focusing not on the blessings of the Lord, but on the Lord of the blessings!

Luke 5:1-11 - English Standard Version

Jesus Calls the First Disciples

“5 On one occasion, while the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God, he was standing by the lake of Gennesaret, 2 and he saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets. 

“3 Getting into one of the boats, which was Simon's, he asked him to put out a little from the land. And he sat down and taught the people from the boat. 

“4 And when he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, ‘Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch.’ 

“5 And Simon answered, ‘Master, we toiled all night and took nothing! But at your word I will let down the nets.’

“6 And when they had done this, they enclosed a large number of fish, and their nets were breaking. 7 They signaled to their partners in the other boat to come and help them. 

“And they came and filled both the boats, so that they began to sink. 8 But when Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus' knees, saying, ‘Depart from me, for I am a sinful man, O Lord.’

“9 For he and all who were with him were astonished at the catch of fish that they had taken, 10 and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon.

“And Jesus said to Simon, ‘Do not be afraid; from now on you will be catching men.’[a] 11 And when they had brought their boats to land, they left everything and followed him.
