They do NOT fit together.

I agree! All I wanted to say was that
"And to the one who overcomes and continues in My work until the end, I will give authority over the nations. 27He will rule them with an iron scepter and shatter them like pottery —just as I have received authority from My Father."
seems to mean more than overcoming individual sin. The emphasis on "overcoming" in Revalation 2-3 is on remaining faithful and steadfast and courageous towards God's work until the end. And that God demands this from the entire local church. And where the church fails, God looks to his overcomers (as in the Old Testament).
