TOPIC: More Than Conquerors [Open Heaven for Teens 27 December 2023]
MEMORISE: Nay, in all these things, we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. Romans 8:37
BIBLE TEXT: Romans 8:35-37
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
36 As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter.
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.
MESSAGE:
A fellow once said that to be more than a conqueror means to be greater than a winner, and he related it to a boxer who fights and defeats his opponents, gets his prize, and then returns home and hands over the prize to his wife. According to this fellow, the wife is the one who is more than the conqueror.
A conqueror is one who has had multiple victories from several battles. There are several enemies that accost us in battles, one of which are generational curses. These are curses pronounced on a family even before a person’s birth, and it keeps affecting the generations birthed after. For instance, in Genesis 49:1-4, Jacob pronounced a curse on Reuben; this curse affected him and generations after him. Is there any sign of a generational curse in your life?
Ask God to destroy it today. However, you need to find out if there is anything that makes such a Curse continue to operate in your life So that you can stop it. When God wins battles for you, you become more than a conqueror.
KEY POINT:
Jesus was made a curse so that you can be blessed. Claim your freedom in Christ
today.

Marching as to war,
