Continue To Be Convinced Of The Truth

All English Service

A born again life is not a mere passage to Heaven. A born again is a continuous transformational process through knowing, confirming and becoming incrementally convinced of the truth of God. Often, we've learnt about many truths of God. Yet we fall flat before situations, not experiencing the power of His word in the relative and paradoxical situations we are in. The gospel is the power of God to those who believe. Do you have the gospel( full scriptural truth)? If you have known the gospel, do you truly believe in it? A believing heart deepens through repeated confirmation of the word of God through prayers, i.e. studying the reality again by the word of God, thus finding assurance that the truth prevails in all relative situation. Only then can one be convinced of the truth and experience the power of God. Are you always learning but never able acknowledge the truth? Put to end the spiritual stupor by looking to the full gospel again and confirm it through prayers until you are convinced of it.

The Path Of Success VS Failure


“There is a way that appears to be right, but in the end it leads to death” <Prov 14:12>. How true this is! Nobody would ever deliberately choose a path of failure and destruction. However, often, it was those seemingly harmless and “inconsequential” decisions that set us on a direction towards a regretful end. Indeed, we face many decisions and choices everyday; and some choices can affect us for a lifetime. For someone who truly believes in God, the most important decision one can make, is to choose God, over and over again, despite trials and temptations in our earthly living. Our own best choices and efforts can lead to futility, but only what God promises and provides will endure. May God enable us to always choose right and choose Him!

Verses to Read: <Genesis 13:5-18>

1. The choice that leads to failure.

* Lot: Carnal Christians

  • Choose by own analysis (wisdom) and flesh.
  • Perspective different (opposite) from God.
  • Some decisions seem inconsequential, but set a certain (tragic) life direction.
  • Bad choices come with consequences.
  • How do we compare to Lot?

2. The choice that leads to success.

  • A choice based on faith.
    – Lot trusted own eyes; Abram trusted God.
    – Best/wisest choice: Choose God over good conditions.
  • Faith gives rise to simple heart.
  • Abram could make blessed choice because of his daily blessed living.
    – Prayer-centered living
  • Blessed choice >>> Blessed consequences.
