“And they overcame him by the blood of the lamb and by the word of their testimony and they loved not their lives unto the death”.- Rev 12:11
Satan is the common enemy that believers have. He is determined to frustrate the lives of believers, to cause them to be in perpetual bondage and to eventually drag them into hell with him.
The bible refers to him as our adversary (1 Peter 5:8) and his primary goal is to kill, to steal and to destroy (John 10:10).
The good news is that we have already overcome satan. How have we overcome him ? By the BLOOD OF THE LAMB. We also continuously overcome and maintain our victory especially when he tries to attack again and again by the WORD OF OUR TESTIMONY.
The authority of the cross’ victory by the blood of the lamb and steadfastness to the promise and authority of God’s word is the key to our overcoming.
In other words, we overcome satan when we continually testify of the victory we have through the shed blood of Jesus Christ.
Through the blood of Jesus Christ:
– We have redemption (Eph 1:7).
– We have been sanctified (Heb 10:10).
– We have been justified (Rom 5:9)
– We are protected.
– We have life (Heb 9:14, Rom 6:23).
– We have constant intercession from Him who is our high priest (Heb 8:1).
– We have access to Him (Heb 4:16, Eph 3:12).
The benefits of this victory is for the committed believer. Those that have embraced Jesus Christ as Lord and saviour. They are the ones who did not love their lives to the death, who are prepared to go to any length for Jesus Christ (Rev 12:11b).
As we come to the end of this year, let us look back into our lives, count our blessings and see the victory we have through the finished work of Christ despite several attacks from satan.

I made up my mind I wasn’t going to forgive my mohetr-in-law anymore! Every time I forgave her, she would do something mean and small again. I was just sick of trying to do the right thing. Wasn’t there something about the other person being sorry for being so hurtful and mean-spirited before you actually had to forgive them? But no matter how I twisted and turned my arguments to justify myself, I felt an increasing sense of discomfort. Unresolved grudges are like the little foxes that eat the vine,” gradually causing a schism that deteriorates our relationship with God. I became aware of this separation, while I stubbornly continued to struggle with anger and bitterness. In the meanwhile, praying was a chore and my spiritual life seemed dead. One day while I was sitting at the kitchen table thinking about my mohetr-in-law and how much I really disliked her, the thought of forgiving her passed through my mind. I decided that I wouldn’t forgive her. No, not again! In fact, I was sure I had no desire or reason to forgive her. At once, I had a clear impression in my mind of the Lord saying, “That’s your sin and you need to repent. It is not that you don’t feel like forgiving her, but that you don’t even want Me to give you the ability to forgive her. Your emotions aren’t the problem, your heart is. Your willingness to forgive is necessary first.” I realized then that true forgiveness is an act of the will, not an emotional choice. I was deeply convicted and asked God for His forgiveness. Amazingly, my decision to let go of the hard feelings and resentment towards Mom immediately began to change my negative attitude towards her. A couple of weeks later, on Mother’s Day, after the church service, my youngest daughter asked if we could visit Granny on our way home. I had not seen Mom for weeks and didn’t know what to expect, but I knew I needed to make this effort. To my surprise, not only was Mom very happy to see us, but she gave me a Mother’s Day card with money in it and sent us back to the house with cash gifts for both of her granddaughters as well as for her son. From that time on my relationship with Mom continued to improve, and eventually grew into a deep and sincere love that was mutually affectionate.
