TRUTH TO BE TOLD: WHY YOU MUST MOVE FROM JUST BELIEVE TO CONVICTION!

THE TRUTH TO BE TOLD DAILY DEVOTIONAL!

Today's Focus: Why you must MOVE from an ordinary BELIEVE to an extraordinary believe called CONVICTION!

Many genuine believers in the Lord Jesus Christ since they got born again has consciously or unconsciously stayed put in their walk and work with God at an ordinary (a low) level of BELIEVE and never saw the need to move upward and forward to an extraordinary (a high) level of believe called CONVICTION. This has unknowingly cost them delay or denial of divinely ordained breakthroughs in Christ for them that can only be gotten at such extraordinary (high) level of BELIEVE. True!

Another word found in the Bible for this kind of higher level of believe is PERSUASION. The Bible reveals that our Father of Faith, Abraham, was PERSUADED or have a CONVICTION thus:

And being NOT weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sara's womb: He staggered NOT at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God; And being fully PERSUADED that, what he had promised, he was able also to perform. And therefore it was imputed to him for righteousness. (Romans 4:19-22).

Now, truth to be told:

1. A lots of genuine Christians by the way they THINK show no CONVICTION or PERSUASION about the reality of the love of God (the Father) for them, the reality of the grace of God available through Jesus Christ to them, the reality of the empowerment of God by the Holy Spirit in them to bring His PROMISES in Christ to pass in their lives and through them for others in the World. True!

2. A lots of genuine Christians by the way they SPEAK show no CONVICTION or PERSUASION about the reality of the love of God (the Father) for them, the reality of the grace of God available through Jesus Christ to them, the reality of the empowerment of God by the Holy Spirit in them to bring His PROMISES in Christ to pass in their lives and through them for others in the World. True!

3. A lots of genuine Christians by the way they LIVE show no CONVICTION or PERSUASION about the reality of the love of God (the Father) for them, the reality of the grace of God available  through Jesus Christ to them and the reality of the empowerment of God by the Holy Spirit in them to bring His PROMISES in Christ to pass in their lives and through them for others in the World. True!

A believer at a CONVICTION or PERSUASION level in his or her walk (relationship) and work (responsibility) with God, is a lost battle to the Devil. This is because whatsoever he (the Devil) does to him or her do not move him or her in any way. True!

At this extraordinary (high) level of BELIEVE, he or she is able to RESIST the Devil STEADFASTLY in FAITH and hold on to the PROMISES of God in Christ for him or her, no matter what and how long, to defeat him (the Devil). True! (1 Peter 5:8-10).

Now, concerning them that have gone before us, the Bible reveals thus:

These all DIED in FAITH, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were PERSUADED of them, and EMBRACED them, and CONFESSED that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. (Hebrews 11:13).

And this was the kind of level of BELIEVE Apostle Paul operated with and encouraged Timothy and us today to operate by thus:

For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am NOT ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am PERSUADED that He is able to keep that which I have committed unto Him against that day. (2 Timothy 1:12).

Therefore, He bold declared thus:

I CAN do ALL things through Christ which strengthens me...My God shall supply ALL your need according TO His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:13,19; Romans 8:26-39).

If I may ask you, have you gotten or grown to a CONVICTION (extraordinary) level of BELIEVE in your walk and work with God in Christ in this World?

Think about it and do something about it, because this is the level of BELIEVE that:

1. Births uncommon, unrelenting and not ashamed FAITH in God in Christ against all odds in this World. True! (1 Peter 5:7-10; Romans 1:16-17).

2. Births outstanding and amazing MIRACLES in Christ in this World. True!  (Hebrews 11).

3. Births exploitative works in Christ in this World. True! (Daniel  11:32).

Know and note that the TIME to take your CHRISTIANITY practice serious is now. That is, to a CONVICTION level of BELIEVE, is now. This is because those without this level of BELIEVE will not be able to withstand and stand what is already befalling humanity and soon goes into greater dimensions of tribulation. True! (1 Timothy 4:1-5; Ephesians 5:15-18).

Today's Focus from Scripture:

For I am PERSUADED, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to SEPARATE us from the LOVE of GOD, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. (Romans 8:38).

Take note, take heed!
