Revelation 12:7(And there was war in
heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought
and his angels, 8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found for him any
more in heaven. 9 And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called
the Devil, and Satan, which decieveth the whole world: he was cast out into the
earth, and his angels were cast out with him. 10 And I heard a loud voice
saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our
God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down,
which accused them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him by
the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not
their lives unto the death).
There is an overcoming power in the
blood of Jesus; Satan loved only himself and he thought Jesus Christ would be
selfish, so he didn’t know Jesus was going to sacrifice himself for us. The
battle was tense in heaven; he tried to steal the throne of God but he was
defeated and cast down to us here on earth but what he didn’t know was that a
weapon had been handed over to us to overcome his accusation and wickedness.
How does the devil accuse humanity? He does it by causing them to sin against
God because he knows there is law and punishment for the offenders and even if
God tries to overlook it, he will remind Him. The sacrifice of Jesus Christ
stops him from showing his ugly self in the presence of God again as he does
during the time of Job (Job 1:6-7). He is walking to and fro
causing mayhem and disturbing people, he is doing his job of stealing,
destroying and killing. He is still deceiving people that do not know the limit
of his power even right now. The good news is he can no longer deceive you
because you are an overcomer. Even though he cannot appear before God again he
still accuses men because the law is already in place. The only way to overcome
sin and Satan who is the father of sin is through the blood of Jesus. Man
entered into serious trouble through disobedience; sin got hold of us and
destroyed us; the accuser of brethren is here walking to and fro the earth
looking for who to destroy because that is his major ministry (John
10:10). God in His infinite wisdom has given us the blood of Jesus to
overcome him. The blood of Jesus can only work for those who are the children
of God. Our Faith in Jesus Christ and his sacrifice is what makes us an
overcomer. We can only claim to be born again only when we have accepted Jesus
Christ as our Lord and savior. This scripture below has told us how we can
overcome sin and Satan. 1 John 5:3(For this is the love of God, that we
keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4 For whosoever
is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh
the world, even our faith. 5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that
believeth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God). Sin deprives us access
to God and our inheritance but the blood of Jesus is available to cleanse us
from sins and every form of unrighteousness (1 John 1:8-9). His
blood speaks forgiveness on our behalf. His blood taking regularly or pleading
over our conscience regularly will help us to stay away from sin because it is
not by power, nor by might (Zechariah 4:6). If you are face to
face with temptation, all you need to do is to call on his blood for your
escape. As you continue to take a dose of his blood regularly, it will be
transfused into your blood and flush out your sinful nature and infuse in you
the nature of Christ. The blood of Jesus flowing through your veins is what
makes you an overcomer. The DNA of everyone is found in his or her blood; so if
you are born of God then you have the DNA of Jesus in you and that’s an
overcomer’s DNA. The most important thing is for you to know who you are in
Christ. As many that believe and receive him he gave them power to become the
sons and daughters of God (John 1:12); and he that is born of God overcomes the
world. Friends, in case you are not yet a child of God, please do not miss this
opportunity to become His son or daughter today by accepting Jesus as your Lord
and savior.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a
sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your
precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord
Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and savior. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
