We Shall Overcome

We Shall Overcome

By

Evangelist. Ilona Henry Afamefuna

I don’t know if you have once listened to a music titled, “We Shall Overcome?”
Of a reality I don’t actually knew who sang that wonderful song, all I know is that it is full of inspiration, hope, courage and victory in the face of adversity.
The world is been threatened by every nook and cranny by godless men, fear and uncertainty seems to be the order of the day, men’s hearts are failing them for fear of those things that about to come upon the world, but it should not be so for a child of God who has taken refuge and took hold of the everlasting hope that is in Yeshua Hama-Shiach.

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)

We are winners not just because we are connected to one world body with sophisticated military arsenal, but on the contradictory, we are connected to the King of kings, Lord of lords & God of gods, the maker of the heavens & the earth, the commander of the heavenly armies, the LORD of hosts is His name.

God by His infallible word has assured us of victory ahead of battles, protection ahead of chaos, safety in the midst of turmoil, and hope in the midst of uncertainty.
We can be certain that God is always there for His people, even if they don’t feel His awesome presence, we must know that our feelings are not a criterion for the presence of God, in fact feelings are so deceitful and manipulative in some cases.

GOD IS our Refuge and Strength [mighty and impenetrable to temptation], a very present and well-proved help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear, though the earth should change and though the mountains be shaken into the midst of the seas, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling and tumult. Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]! Psalm 46:1-3 (Amplified Bible)

As we listen to the media, we are been confronted with fear & hopelessness, one could not help but shrink at the horrors and injuries that men afflict one another with, of a truth the hearts of the sons of men are been controlled and manipulated by wicked horrendous and merciless evil forces, thereby making wickedness to be unprecedented in our time, Satan is at loss against the people of God.

You are the one who would allow him to get you into his trap.
The world of God is so much full of promises that one could not help but cry out in a humble adoration and admiration of the reality of the presence of God with His own.

Have you ever been to the sea, there comes a time that the sea is troubled and harness by horrific winds, making the sea to go crazy, but one thing that surprises me is that the sea does not go beyond the shore, no matter how it may roar and whirl itself, it does not cross the limit, that is how situation and all that is happening in the world is to a child of God, they may surge, but it will never go beyond the limit.

We shall overcome, because Jesus defeated the prince of this world.
The victory of Jesus on the cross settles it all; there is no need for a child of God to live in improbability because of empty threats from men of vanity, whose lives are in their breath, whose days have been numbered long time ago.

We now have this light shining in our hearts, but we ourselves are like fragile clay jars containing this great treasure. This makes it clear that our great power is from God, not from ourselves. We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:7-9 (New Living Translation)

Troubles are not bad in themselves, they are just an avenue by which the power & glory of God is made manifest in the midst of a perverse and wicked generation.

A child of God should not go around complaining and murmuring about his conditions, because God uses the unbelievable to work out His eternal purpose.
Believe me, we shall overcome, no matter how we are been threatened by wickedness, God is on our side, we shall overcome.
Even if we are been hunted by evil & wickedness on high places, God has assured us of His unfailing protection, He is always there to fight for His people.

What then shall we say to [all] this? If God is for us, who [can be] against us? [Who can be our foe, if God is on our side? Romans 8:31 (Amplified Bible)

The answer to the above bible question is, absolutely no body.
No body can tamper with God’s elect; anyone who tries it will get his finger burnt.
It is high time we begin to realize that we are beyond human destruction, Jesus made it clear to His disciples not to fear those who can destroy the body, & afterward could do nothing, but rather to fear HIM (GOD) who is able to destroy the body and soul and cast them into hell, letting them to also know that our hairs are numbered.
What a wonderful promise from the infallible WORD (Yeshua Hama-Shiach).

Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:35-39 (King James Version)

Nothing on this earth is able to separate us from God’s love, this is our eternal hope and confidence, even if we are been told that Christians are been hunted by blood thirsty gangs, our protection and refuge is in Jehovah.
