Who would have thought the walls of Jericho would come down without one hammer blow? Who would have thought that a man hanging on a cross would save the human race? Shouting in advance brings our inner faith to the outside world. Silver and gold represent the glory God gets for the victory.
Every godly conqueror knows in his or her heart that victory comes only through the Lord, and giving God the glory, whether with our praises or our pocketbook, tangibly shows this. It is a public proclamation of who deserves the credit. All the silver and gold and the articles of bronze and iron are sacred to the LORD and must go into his treasury. Joshua I have taken great pains to provide for the temple of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, a million talents of silver, quantities of bronze and iron too great to be weighed, and wood and stone.
Gold has always symbolized glory, from the golden scepter of a king to the golden idol Nebuchadnezzar made. Jesus often talked about rewards. He connected fasting to the reward we gain from it.
He said if we seek the Lord in secret, He would reward us openly. He talked about rewards for prophets and righteous men. Paul talked about the rewards and the crowns laid up for him in heaven.
Jesus obeyed the Father for the reward He knew He would gain, and faced a giant called the cross for the joy that was set before Him Hebrews He knew the pain would produce a reward, that He would rise from the dead in three days with a glorified, unstoppable body and take tens of millions to heaven with Him.
You and I are part of that reward! So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him. You have not chosen me but I have you and ordained you that you should go and bring forth fruit and that your fruit should remain.
John If you do not defend what you have conquered in any area of life—relationships, job, education—you will crash. Conquering by itself can be destructive and reckless if not balanced. A life of action demands times of privacy.
Jesus said that we must work while it is day because the night is coming John , but He also called the disciples away to get some rest. Find privacy. It may be in your basement, an attic, the back yard or in the park.
Conquerors know when to rest when to work when to join the crowd, when to seek privacy. Learning this trait will give you great longevity. Move to new areas and be a light. He no longer can conquer your souls. You no longer are a slave to sin. Persecution, tribulation , and even death itself cannot conquer you because Jesus already has defeated them. Even if we die, we go to heaven and have the ultimate victory. We get to take the spoils of war from the Devil.
The very places that are the hardest and darkest in the world can now be turned into hotspots for revival for Jesus. Paul wrote this book to the Church of Rome to encourage them through persecution and struggles that they had been walking through.
He wanted to take a moment and remind them who they were in Jesus. If we read the verses right before Romans , we see a long list of possible obstacles that the Christians may have to go through in their lives. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword?
He poses a question to the church and all of us Christians. Can persecution? Can danger, hunger, or fear? Can even death separate us from what we have won in Jesus? He fires back to the question he posed. No way! In famine, we have Jesus. In danger, we have Jesus. In pain, we have Jesus. Even in death, we have Jesus!
You have Jesus! It is the same for us today! We, too, can be so worried about all the things going in our jobs, families, and the world around us. Paul is asking us this question. Can anything separate you from Jesus? Can the loss of your job? Can turmoil in the nation? Nothing can separate us from Jesus!
