OVERCOMER: Everyone born of God overcomes the world - 1 John 5:4

 For everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith. Who is it that overcomes the world? Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. 1 John 5:4-5 NIV


Poem: "OVERCOMER" by Odu Mkwute.

Christian, lose not heart, For that is the loss of everything, For He has not promised, The tempest to prevent, Neither affliction to forestall, Nor travail to avert; But Keep preciously your heart, Amidst life's stream and Maintain an undefeated front, In the face of life's difficulties, For the promise to you is that, You shall not be overcome, Then
Gird your heart with faith, And keep your heavens or, You soon lose your earth, Remember that the Lord thinks On you always, preparing ahead; For you long before you awake.

Praise & Prayer to overcome the world and the devil

No longer do past mistakes and remorse define me because I am born again and have been made a new creation by Christ Jesus. Thank You, Heavenly Father, for my new life in Christ that empowers me and equips me to be an overcomer. I will keep my eyes upon Jesus, the Author and Finisher of my faith, who overcame the world and won the victory over sin, death, and the powers of darkness. Holy Spirit, please guide someone across my path today who is being defeated by addiction or past shame and feels hopeless. Enable them to overcome their addiction and the world's fallacies that the devil uses to destroy people by calling upon the mighty name of Jesus Christ our Savior. Hosanna, in Jesus' mighty name.
