"Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us" (Rom. 8:37).
The Greek word for more than a conqueror is a word derived from the same root Greek word for victory, "nike." The verb form of the noun "nike" is "nikao," pronounced "nik-ah-o."
The Greek verb "nikao" means to overcome. The phrase "more than a conqueror" comes from the Greek word "hupernikao," pronounced "hooper-nik-ah'-o."
The first part of this word, "hupernikao," is the prefix "huper." The modern equivalent of this is the prefix "hyper." Hyper means "more than" or "excessive." It could also mean "super."
Put the two words together: "hupernikao" means you are a "super-overcomer" or a "super-victor."
When you are born again, you can claim the title of super-victor through Jesus. You are not a super-victor in yourself. You are a super-victor in Jesus. Jesus has already won the victory. You are taking your place alongside Him as the super-victor of the universe.
You are more than a conqueror because Jesus won the victory. You can personalize Romans 8:37 and say it to yourself: "I am more than a conqueror through Him that loved me."
You have the ability to do whatever God has called you to do. God has a wonderful plan for your life. As you begin to study the Word of God, He reveals Himself to you.
When you read your Bible prayerfully, you begin to understand how much God really wants to bless you and cause you to be victorious in life.
Jesus has already won the victory. You are more than a conqueror through Him that loves you. When you have the Word of God in your heart, it begins to renew your mind and it will change you.
When your mind is renewed, you become convinced these things are true. When this happens, your life will never be the same.
