Conquering Attitude
Revelation 6:2
“And I saw, and behold a white horse: and he that sat on him had a bow; and a crown was given unto him: and he went forth conquering, and to conquer.”
In the tribulation period, John talked about God having a book with seven seals. The Lamb, Who is Jesus Christ, held this book. According to Revelation 5, Jesus Christ was the only One Who was worthy to open this book. In the verse above, when John saw the first seal opened, he saw Jesus sitting on a white horse ready to go forth and conquer the Earth.
In this verse there is a statement made that I believe should be the attitude of every Christian. It says that Jesus “...went forth conquering, and to conquer.” Jesus didn't have a passive attitude about what He was going to do. Jesus didn't have the attitude that He was just going to do the best that He could. No, He had the attitude that He was going to conquer the tasks ahead of Him.
Every Christian should have a conquering attitude. I find too many Christians today have a passive attitude about life and the things that they face in life. God's desire for every Christian is to have an attitude to conquer the things we face in life. You should never have the attitude of, “Well, whatever happens, happens.” This is not a Christ-like attitude, for the attitude of Christ was to conquer.
When obstacles come your way in life, have the attitude that you are going to conquer that obstacle. It never fails that when we start to do something for God that obstacles come and try to stop us from doing God's work. You must decide that you will not let any obstacle stop you. You must have the attitude that you are going to conquer the obstacle no matter how difficult it is.
When trials come your way, don't let the trials stop you from doing God's will for your life. That trial may be health issues, family problems or financial hardships, whatever the trial is you face today, decide to conquer the trial and don't let the trial conquer you.
When marriage problems come your way, decide you are going to conquer those problems. Don't run to divorce and take the “easy way” out. No, take up the conquering attitude, decide to conquer those problems and make your marriage work.
When you face difficult projects don't run from them, but decide to conquer them. Take that project you face and challenge yourself to conquer it one way or the other. It might be you are having difficulty building your Sunday school class, building your church, building your bus route or a project on the job, whatever it is decide you are not going to quit, but you are going to conquer that project.
Christian, having a conquering attitude is a choice. You must not give in so easily to the problems and obstacles you face in life. You must decide that you are going to have a conquering attitude. This is the attitude that God has and you must take that attitude and make it yours. Whatever you face today, no matter how difficult it may seem to be, decide to conquer it.
