The names of our Lord are precious, numerous, powerful, and
strengthen our faith. Proverbs 18:10 says “The name of
the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous run into it and is safe.”
We find refuge and comfort in the names of the Lord, which are a
depiction of His character, and the proclaiming of His attributes
are part of worship, praising Him for Who He is as His names describe Him. I have found
that a simple way that I can do this during my morning devotion prayer
time is to praise Him through His names by using the alphabet for
reference, so for example, Alpha, Bridegroom, Creator, Defender,
Everlasting, Father, Giver of all good things, Hope, I AM, Just One,
King, etc. Though this may sound silly, it has been a helpful way for
me to balance praise and adoration of Him as my King while laying my
needs and petitions before Him as my Father. Recently, my focus
has been on the Lord as The Overcomer. Isn’t that a precious name?
It has been a precious meditation for me. I rejoice and glorify Him who sits on the throne because He overcame, He overcomes, and
will overcome in the final day! All things are because He overcame!
“...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 17:14b
“These things I
have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye
shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome
the world.” John 16:33
“And one of the
elders saith unto, Weep no: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda,
the Root of David, hath prevailed (same Greek word as overcome
in John 16:33) to open the book, and to loose the seven seals
thereof.” Revelation 5:5
I can take so many
different scripture passages from any book of the Bible and find
“Overcomer” in them.
“Now for a season,
if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: that
the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that
perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise
and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ…” 1 Peter
1:6-7
~Because He
overcame, my heart can be at rest amidst the trials of this life!~
“For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the
feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we
are, yet without sin.” Hebrews 4:15

overcame, we have eternal salvation through the Perfect Lamb!~
“The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger: but they that seek the
Lord shall not want any good thing.” Proverbs 34:10
~Because He
overcame, we are supplied with all good things!~
“For the Lord’s portion is His people; Jacob is the lot of His
inheritance. He found him in a desert land, and in the waste howling
wilderness; He led him about, He instructed him, He kept him as the
apple of His eye. As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over
her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh then, beareth them on
her wings: so the Lord alone did him…” Deuteronomy 32:10-12a
~Because He
overcame, His love and protection know no limits!~
“If my people,
which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and
seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from
heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.” 2
Chronicles 7:14
~Because He
overcame, He offer full and free forgiveness and restoration!~
“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in
Me.” John 14:1
~Because He overcame, He is capable of meeting and overcoming each
and every fear!~
Rest today in Him Who overcame the ultimate curse of death through His death, Who overcomes, through His grace, the challenges we daily meet, and Who, on the last day will completely overcome death, hell, and Satan himself with the ultimate show of magnificent power! That is the God we serve, ladies! He Who was and is and is to come! He alone is worthy! He alone can open the seven scrolls and break the seals...because He overcame! Revel in Him as your Overcomer! Meditate on what that means to you, how He has overcome specifically in your life, and rejoice and glory that we are in Him Who is the final Overcomer in the last day! We have the ultimate reason to rejoice and glory in the name of our God!
