Victory Over Satan

Key verse: “These shall make war with the lamb, and the lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of Lords, and King of Kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen and faithful” (Revelation 17:14).

The rash of unyielding problems all over the world clearly indicates the imminence of the end of this world and the revelation of Jesus as the King of kings and Lord of lords. The shed-blood at Calvary assures us of enduring victory.
The battle lines are drawn, and the greatest confrontation in the history of the world is about to begin. The Antichrist and false prophets have   gathered armies to wage war against Christ and His saints. In their pride and self-will, they prepare to fight against their creator. This shows how rebellious and perverted their thinking is.
Victory was won on the cross when Jesus Christ died for our sin. Although the Bible presents the world as estranged from God and seized by Satan, Christians must wage continual warfare against him and his cohorts. One of Christ’s purposes for coming to the earth was to bind Satan and set at liberty those enslaved by him. Christians have dominion over evil powers because Christ has given us His power and authority to cast out devils; “they shall speak with new tongues, and they shall take up serpents, and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them. They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (Mark 16:17,18). We too can experience all round victory through faith in Christ.
As Christians, we should be confident that God won the final victory and He is in control of everything. The final blow has been given on the cross where Christ proclaimed, “It is finished”. He has triumphed over sin, Satan, affliction, oppression, sickness and poverty. It has all been accomplished on the cross. As you believe today, Victory is sure and you shall continue to live a victorious Christian life by abiding continually in the Lord and His word.
Thought for today: Christ in you is greater than Satan in the world.
