Book Cover & Preview Text
The word overcome is the Greek word Nikao. It means to subdue, conquer, prevail, or get the victory. The book of Revelations makes promises for those who overcome. These are the promises that Jesus made to the seven churches. “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give to eat from the tree of life, which is in the midst of the Paradise of God.”’ Revelations 2 & 7 NKJV “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.”’ Rev 2 & 11 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it.”’Rev 2 & 17 And he who overcomes, and keeps My works until the end, to him I will give power over the nations— ‘He shall rule them with a rod of iron; They shall be dashed to pieces like the potter’s vessels’[j]— as I also have received from My Father; and I will give him the morning star. Rev 2 & 26 - 28 He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels. Rev 3 & 5 He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he shall go out no more. I will write on him the name of My God and the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God. And I will write on him My new name. Rev 3 & 12 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. Rev 3& 21 All of these promises are to the church. They were good then and they are good now. They are available for all of us born again people who want what God wants for us in our lives. The problem is how do we get to be overcomers. To get to be an overcomer is a process that requires us to know some things about our God and about ourselves. Let us start with our God.
