The Overcomers' Secret

These are wise words from the man of God, Bro. Bakht Singh, written in his book, 'the Overcomers' Secret'. It will do us good to ponder over them, and ask God to prove them in our lives.

1. Nothing of man can by any means last forever... Whatsover is of God will last forever; it will not be shaken or moved. The work of God may begin in a simple way, but it will abide for ever.

2. Like Daniel and his three friends, we also may have to go through many refining fires, but all these sufferings will help us to become overcomers. Eventually we will become more than conquerors in everything. Through God we will destroy the works of Satan and put him to shame, provided we are willing to pass patiently through the time of our preparation.

3. If you want to be an overcomer you should never doubt God. Even if He takes you through fiery trials, you have no right to question Him. Believe that His way is perfect and is the best for you, and that whatever He is doing in your life, it is all for your good. That is true faith.

4. A true Christian must overcome all temptations. We should refuse, at any cost, to defile ourselves in any way. We should not adopt worldly and sinful methods to get promotion or gain.

5. We should never fear to take a bold stand for God. The Lord knows how to protect His own. He will see to it that no harm comes to us when we stand for the Word of God and the testimony of our Lord. There is really no need for us to try to save our lives by defiling ourselves.

6. If we want to be overcomers, we will certainly be persecuted by the enemy more than others will be.

7. All the persecution which came against these faithful young men [Daniel's three friends] only proved to be the means of their promotion, and also of confounding the king and the princes of Babylon.
