Conquer. That's kind of a funny sounding word. Say it with me... Conquer! It's kind of a powerful word to say. Say it again.... Conquer!! I like that word!
We are always trying to conquer something. We are trying to conquer our fears. We are trying to conquer our inhibitions. We are trying to conquer our sinful nature. We are trying to conquer the battle of the bulge. We are trying to conquer a lot of different things in our lives.
But you have to love what Jesus says at the end of John 16. He says that He has conquered the world!! The whole world!! There is nothing he hasn't or can't conquer. Jesus is the man!!! There is nothing beyond His grasp!
Unfortunately, I think sometimes we get so conquer-happy, that we try to conquer Jesus. We try to drown out, or ignore His voice. We try not to listen. We try to be our own conqueror.
But rest assured, Jesus will NOT be conquered. Not by me, you, or anyone else. He was, is, and always will be victorious! He is the conqueror!
So, quit trying to fight a losing battle, and submit to Jesus the Mighty Conqueror as your Lord and King!! This is the one time in your life when it is a good thing to be conquered!
