AND I AM CONVINCED

“And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow, not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. No power in the sky above or in the earth below, indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39

Many of us have heard many things; have seen many things and have gone through many things in life. Many of are holding on strongly to what we have been through; many are holding on to the abuse they received at home in their childhood, in their neighborhood, and in their offices; many are holding on to the fears and uncertainties cause by bitter experiences; many are holding on to the disappointments of being turned down after being assured of favor; many are holding on to the frustrations of waiting too long for blessings or a confirmation of an expectation; many are holding on to their past failures and mistakes, refusing to let go and refusing to make a new attempt at freeing themselves of the guilt behind it; many are holding on to their past weaknesses and giving all their thoughts, all their imaginations and speaking words to what had been before, to what had been said and done before, what the devil had done to their marriage, family and finances; but irrespective of what you are holding on to in life, irrespective of your past experiences and regrets, there is every certainty that something new, quite different from the evil that had been before; something that will change your life and your situation, making you better than what you where before, making you to see yourself and accept yourself as Christ Jesus had seen, spoken and accepted you, something that will change your thoughts and dreams; change your family life and views, and change your children is about to begin in your life. I am very convinced that God is doing it, He is performing it, and will confirm it in you.

I am convinced that your life is not in vain; your struggles are not in vain; your dreams are not in vain and your desires will not be in vain. No one comes to Christ Jesus and return the same; no one submits to His authority without receiving something good in exchange; no one follows Him diligently and misses the way to the inheritance He had promised; no one believes in Him and is put to shame at the end; no one ever trust in Him without Him doing something extraordinary in their lives. No one gives his or her lives to Him without receiving an assurance of love, of safety, of preservation, of protection, of deliverance and of heaven hereafter. His ways are perfect; His words are true and He is very merciful and faithful.      

It takes a very small moment of time for one to believe something, but it takes a considerable period of time, of days or years for that person to be convinced about the truth in what he or she believes. Paul was converted in an instant through the light from heaven that blinded him on his way to arrest the believers of Jesus Christ, but after many years of serving the Lord faithfully, preaching the gospel with zeal and determination, going around countries and regions three times on mission, and leading others to follow Christ Jesus, he said in romans 8:38-39 that he was convinced of the of the love of God to His believers; he was convinced of the certainty of the reward; he was convinced of the power of God to keep, to preserve, to deliver, to protect and to defend. He was convinced that he did not believe in vain, he did not follow in vain, and he was not preaching in vain. He knew there will certainly be a time of reward, a time of restoration, a time of glory and a time of rejoicing again despite what the devil will ever do.

There is power in what you are convinced about, it has the potential to guide, influence, direct and predict all of your actions; it has the power to keep your focused, to sustain your expectation and to move you to a next higher level in life. It helps you look at the result instead of the pains, and it helps you overcome your fears and all uncertainties. For prayers, Click here
