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.

WHEN STOCK MARKETS CRASH - Where is God when stock markets crash? - God does not promise to take care of your investment portfolio, but He does promise to take care of you. And that is really all we need to know. - Monday, March 9, 2020, the stock market had its biggest percentage-point drop since the Financial Crisis of 2008, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average falling 7.79 percent in just one day. In nominal terms, that is a loss of 2,014 points, the Dow’s biggest point drop ever. This historic one-day wipeout of stock market value came on the heels of losses greater than 10 percent over the previous two weeks, sending markets perilously close to official “bear market” territory. This kind of market activity has many investors on edge, in a panic. But as Christian investors, what should our response be? As a people who have supposedly placed our faith and trust in God, we should be at rest knowing that God is good, He is in control, and we can trust Him. It is precisely at times like these that we need to remind ourselves, from the truth of Scripture, where God is when stock markets (and other things in life) come crashing down. When we find ourselves infected with fear and panic, Psalm 46 is a strong dose of good medicine.

Image result for images When Stock Markets CrashFurthermore, this historic one-day wipeout of stock market value came on the heels of losses greater than 10 percent over the previous two weeks, sending markets perilously close to official “bear market” territory, defined as a decline of 20 percent or more from a previous high.
This kind of market activity has many investors on edge, in a panic, as they recall painful experiences from previous market melt-downs in 2008, 2001 and 1987.
And maybe 1933? Is anyone still out there?
But as Christian investors, what should our response be?
As a people who have supposedly placed our faith and trust in God, we should be at rest knowing that God is good, He is in control, and we can trust Him - shouldn’t we?
Yet we can be just as susceptible to panic and fear as the next investor on the street.
It is precisely at times like these that we need to remind ourselves, from the truth of Scripture, where God is when stock markets (and other things in life) come crashing down.
God is our fortress
When we find ourselves infected with fear and panic, Psalm 46 is a strong dose of good medicine,
God is our refuge and strength,
a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way,
though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea,
though its waters roar and foam,
though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah (verses 1-3)
God indeed is our refuge and strength!
Image result for images When Stock Markets CrashHe protects us, and He also strengthens us.
In Him we need no other defense, and in Him the weak are made strong.
Are you feeling exposed to danger? God is your refuge. Are you feeling helpless and weak? God is your strength.
Rejoice in the River of Life
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
the holy habitation of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
The nations rage, the kingdoms totter;
he utters his voice, the earth melts.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah (verses 4-7)
There is a river that makes glad the city of God, the River of Life which runs down from the throne of the Most High.
Have you tasted of that River of Life through faith in Jesus Christ?
If so, then rejoice and be glad!
Your eternal soul is being kept by Him, and you have a portion in the “holy habitation of the Most High.”
Nations rage and kingdoms will totter, but the Lord of hosts is with you. The God of Jacob is your fortress.
Behold the works of the Lord
Come, behold the works of the Lord,
how he has brought desolations on the earth.
He makes wars cease to the end of the earth;
he breaks the bow and shatters the spear;
he burns the chariots with fire.
‘Be still, and know that I am God.
I will be exalted among the nations,
I will be exalted in the earth!’
The Lord of hosts is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah (verses 8-11)
Image result for images When Stock Markets CrashLook upon the works of the Lord, and remind yourself of His might and power!
He alone has the power over desolations and wars, weapons and warriors. Know that He is a sovereign God, and let that knowledge bring you peace.
God will be exalted over all the earth! The Lord is with you, and He is your fortress!
Your investment account may lose value — maybe even a lot of value in times like these.
But remember who He is who allows it to happen, who is in control of the ups and downs of the market and your portfolio.
Do not put your trust in the provision, but put your trust in the Provider.
God does not promise to take care of your investment portfolio, but He does promise to take care of you.
And that is really all we need to know.
