You will overcome by God's Presence in you

1Samuel 5:2-4, 1 John 4:4
When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon, and set it by Dagon. And when they of Ashdod arose early on the morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the earth before the ark of the LORD...and the head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were cut off upon the threshold; only the stump of Dagon was left to him. *Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our first text above is about how the Philistines captured the Ark of God and placed it in their temple beside their own god called Dagon. When they came to check their temple the next morning, they saw their god - Dagon, bowing down on the floor, facing the Ark of God. They were shocked and they picked Dagon up and placed it again 'beside' the ark of God. When they checked their temple the next morning, they saw Dagon on the floor again, faced down in front of God's Ark with its head and two hands cut off from its body. If a physical symbol of God's presence in the Old Testament had so much power, how much power do you think you can manifest because of God's presence that you carry with you everywhere you go?

The fact that the Ark was in a strange land did not limit the power of the Ark. No matter where you are, you will function at God's frequency and manifest His supreme uncontestable power. You will succeed and you will overcome in all your endeavours. Greater is He who lives in you, than every power out there in the world. Whenever you enter a place, God is entering that place because you are carrying God with you. People like David could defeat Goliath and do great exploits because they knew God was with them. You will do greater exploits because God is not just with you but He is in you and He is for you. You are victorious and unstoppable.

PRAYER: Heavenly Father, may my consciousness of your presence in me, make me victorious and unstoppable today in Jesus Mighty Name.
