BORN TO RISE AND CONQUER
By Rev. Samuel Arimoro
Main Text: Romans 8:37
Supporting Texts: 1 John 5:4, Philippians 4:13, Isaiah 60:1-3, Psalm 18:29
INTRODUCTION:
Every child of God carries the divine DNA of victory. We were not created to live defeated lives but to rise above obstacles and conquer every territory the enemy has tried to claim. The Bible clearly shows us that in Christ, we are more than conquerors. Rising and conquering is not just a possibility—it is our spiritual heritage.
The believer’s journey is marked by seasons of warfare and triumph, but our confidence lies in the finished work of Christ. We do not fight for victory; we fight from victory. God has already given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. Therefore, we must reject defeat and step into our place of dominion.
In this sermon, we shall explore how God equips, empowers, and positions His children to rise above limitations and conquer all battles of life. You are born not to remain on the ground but to rise and win for God's glory.
1. YOU HAVE A CONQUEROR'S IDENTITY
a) Your Identity is in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17)
When you gave your life to Christ, your identity changed—you became a new creature with a victorious nature.
b) You are Born of God (1 John 5:4)
Everyone born of God overcomes the world. The DNA of God in you guarantees victory.
c) You Are Seated with Christ (Ephesians 2:6)
Your position in Christ is far above principalities and powers. You rule from a place of spiritual authority.
d) You Are More Than a Conqueror (Romans 8:37)
You don't just survive trials—you thrive and triumph in them through the love of Christ.
Biblical Example: David’s Victory Over Goliath (1 Samuel 17:45-50)
David understood his identity in God and refused to see himself as a weakling, even when facing a giant.
2. YOU MUST RISE ABOVE LIMITATIONS
a) Refuse to Be Caged by the Past (Philippians 3:13-14)
Your past failures or setbacks must not define your future; press forward toward your calling.
b) Break Free from Fear (2 Timothy 1:7)
Fear paralyses, but God has given you a spirit of power, love, and a sound mind.
c) Challenge Every Limiting Belief (Proverbs 23:7)
What you think about yourself determines how far you will go. Think like a conqueror.
d) Step Out in Faith (Hebrews 11:6)
Rising requires action. You must move even when you feel unqualified.
Biblical Example: The Four Lepers at the Gate (2 Kings 7:3-9)
They chose to rise instead of die in their limitation and walked into unexpected abundance.
3. YOU MUST CONQUER YOUR TERRITORY
a) Take Authority in Prayer (Luke 10:19)
Spiritual conquest begins in the place of prayer. Exercise your God-given dominion.
b) Possess Your Possessions (Obadiah 1:17)
Your spiritual inheritance must be claimed through intentional pursuit and spiritual warfare.
c) Walk in Boldness (Proverbs 28:1)
The righteous are as bold as a lion. Take bold steps towards your destiny.
d) Defeat Your Goliaths (1 Samuel 17:26)
Conquering involves facing and defeating the giants that stand in your way.
Biblical Example: Joshua Conquering Jericho (Joshua 6:1-20)
By faith and obedience, Joshua brought down the walls of Jericho and claimed the city for God.
4. YOU MUST RISE TO INFLUENCE OTHERS
a) Your Light Must Shine (Matthew 5:14-16)
You are called to rise so that others can see the glory of God through you.
b) Be a Source of Encouragement (1 Thessalonians 5:11)
As you conquer, help others rise from their own ashes of defeat.
c) Multiply Your Impact (2 Timothy 2:2)
Conquerors raise other conquerors. Reproduce the grace upon your life.
d) Reflect Christ in Your Victories (Galatians 2:20)
Let your success point people to Jesus, not yourself.
Biblical Example: Esther’s Rise Saved a Nation (Esther 4:13-16)
Her rise to royalty positioned her to influence and deliver her people.
5. YOU MUST CONQUER UNTIL THE END
a) Victory is a Lifelong Pursuit (Philippians 3:12)
Keep pressing forward, never settling for less than God's best.
b) Resist the Enemy Daily (James 4:7)
Conquering is not a one-time event. It requires constant resistance and submission to God.
c) Endure Hardship (2 Timothy 2:3)
Challenges are part of the journey, but the conqueror endures and overcomes.
d) Keep the Faith (2 Timothy 4:7-8)
A true conqueror finishes strong, keeping faith alive till the end.
Biblical Example: Apostle Paul’s Life of Victory (2 Timothy 4:7)
Paul conquered to the end and laid hold on the crown of righteousness.
CONCLUSION:
You were not born to live a life of defeat. God created you to rise above mediocrity, trials, and spiritual opposition. Every child of God has a divine assignment to take territory, walk in dominion, and be a reflection of God’s victory on earth.
Your rising is not optional; it is necessary for kingdom advancement. Your conquest is not for self-glory but for the glory of Christ. Stand firm, rise boldly, and conquer fearlessly. The world is waiting for your manifestation as a son of God!
