Overcoming is of Divine Intervention and not of personal effort. That we partner in this effort is a given  -----------  but God recieves ALL the credit because it is His work that brings the victory.    Rev 2:26 is an indicative, not an imperative !!
 
The correct response to these words  (Rev 2:26) , then, is "Praise the Lord" and not "oohhh, I better get busy."
