Song: Victory In Jesus
Scripture: Revelation 17:14
"These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, for He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with Him are called, chosen, and faithful." (Revelation 17:14; NKJV)
Whoever the "These" of Revelation 17:14 are...they will lose. The Lamb will overcome them because of who He is. Of lords He is the Lord. Of kings He is the King. It is wise to be "with Him."
Called. "...to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ" (2 Thessalonians 2:14; NKJV). The Lamb calls us to Himself through the gospel. He is calling...will you answer and overcome?
Chosen. "...just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love..." (Ephesians 1:4; NKJV). The chosen are those who accept the call of Christ. Have you chosen to be chosen?
Faithful. "Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful unto death, and I will give you the crown of life" (Revelation 2:10; NKJV). The chosen overcome in Him because they are faithful to Him. The Lamb is faithful, be faithful to the Lamb and overcome with Him.
Have you answered the call? Are you in Him? Are you faithful? Will you overcome?
