According to him, Genesis chapters 1 and 2 and Revelations chapters 21 and 22 are the only perfect chapters in the Bible. Every other chapter in the Bible talks about the redemptive plan of God for man. One of the things redemption brought for us is the power to overcome. This Kingdom is for overcomers and only born-again Christians have the capacity to overcome. The born-again man has a mission to overcome everything the devil throws on his path because he has the potential and the power, but he must be ready to work and overcome.
He then highlights 8 things that we need to overcome as believers. They are:
1. Fear: One of the things we must overcome is fear. It leads to lies and all kinds of problems in the lives of people. We must overcome fear.
2. Unbelief: We must overcome unbelief as it is the devil that puts it in our minds. There are some Christians who would be pushed to believe that God does not exist. We must overcome it.
3. Doubt: Doubts have kept so many people away from the provisions of God for them. Though they believe in the existence of God they still have doubts in their mind. You have to overcome it
4. Abomination: We must overcome every form of abomination and things that are contrary to the will and the nature of God.
5. Murder: We must overcome murder. The Bible makes us understand that it is a sin to kill so you have to pray to God to be able to overcome every thought of murder.
6. Whoremongery: This refers to sexual sins and sexual iniquity. Out of the sins in the Bible, sexual sin is one of the major sins. “Whoremongery” encompasses all forms of sexual immoralities, and you must overcome that.
7. Idolatry: This is the desire to get power and it is plaguing men in the world. Idolatry is allowing things to take the place of God in your heart.
8. Lying: We must overcome lies; white lies, technical lies, half-truths, and black lies. “… And all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death” (Rev. 21:8b).
