HEARING AND OVERCOMING

Hearing and overcoming are two activities in which all believers should be engaged.
Since the words “hear” and “overcometh” is repeatedly used in Revelation chapters 2-3, we should also understand their definition. They are:

Hear: listen, pay attention to

Overcometh: surmounting, conquering, overpowering, getting the best of

These words can be found in the address to each of the seven churches, “He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh…..”  This statement leads me to believe the following:

1. The letters to the churches are for all believers to use in improving their Christian stewardship to God and man.

2. The Spirit will speak to those who will listen.

3. Life holds many situations that believers must overcome.

4. If Jesus says to be partakers of specific benefits that He offers, we must be overcomers; then it is doable.

Let’s pray for hearing ears and the Spirit of an Overcomer.
