'Invictus' in Latin means 'unconquerable', 'undefeated', and truly thats what I seek to be with God. I'm sure you've heard of the famous poem entitled Invictus, now the poem which I'll paste below, is great in the way it urges one to have an 'unconquerable' and 'undefeated' spirit, however it does so in a secular way. We all know and have tried to conquer tough situations by ourselves without God, and often times, and always in the end, we fail. Invictus Divine means that one is only unconquerable when allied and fused together with our Divine God, Son, and Holy Spirit. That's the meaning behind the title if you were confused, keep that thought in mind and use it to change around the secular meaning of the poem and read it as a Christian, 'unconquerable' with God would.
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
God is the captain of our souls, and with him by our side and a never-quit attitude, we are unconquerable and anything is possible through Him!
