Continue To Be Convinced Of The Truth

Watch
Listen

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.

How does God want us to live with our neighbours? How can people see that the true and living God is with us? Basically, people can see God’s presence in our lives when: (1) we change; and (2) God’s blessings are evident in our lives. God can surely fulfill His promises to us. The important thing is, when we walk in step with Him and obey Him, then His great power and fulfilment will come upon our lives. Not only does God want us to live in His favor, but also the favor of man, because His desire is also to use our life testimonies to win souls into His Kingdom. Thus, as far as possible, we should live in peace with our neighbours, and think of ways to bless them with the gospel.

Verses to read:
<Gen 21:22-34>

1. Testimony of a non-believer: “God is with you in all that you are doing” <v22>

God’s blessings on Abraham too obvious.
Abimelek even confident of God’s future grace on Abraham.
Willing to make treaty though deceived by Abraham before.
A king actually pleaded with a foreigner in his own land!
The praise we should aim for: “God is with you in everything you do.”

2. God fulfills His promises, perhaps slowly, but surely!

Though not yet possess promised land, at least Abraham owned a well now >>> God’s promise is slowly actualizing
God is paving the way for Israel to possess promised land, by making Abraham’s name great <cf. Gen 12:2-3>.
In the process >>> difficulties >>> greater power of God
God affirms His promise not only by His own word, but also by Abimelek’s testimony
Our lives may also seem mundane, but God is working in the ordinary.
We should keep up with our persistent worship of God too.

3. How did Abraham receive such great blessings?

People cannot see evidences when:
Didn’t believe God’s word
Thus didn’t obey
Of course, no evidences
Worse, follow own flesh and heart  bound by sin and devil
Abraham was blessed, because God first chose him to bless him.
But on his part, Abraham also submitted to God, thus could see evidences.
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.” <Mt 5:8>.

4. How should we live with our neighbours?

Live in favor of God and man, like Jesus <cf. Lk 2:52>
Need strong relationship with God:
Then can draw from His love and wisdom to love others
Then our lives can exude joy and strength from God to attract others
Our network of contacts and living fields very important.
Value people around us.
Live in harmony as far as possible.
Witness for God.
