Romans 4: 21 [NIV]
Being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.
Persuasion and conviction is key if you are going to have a strong walk with God. You must come to a place in your spiritual growth where nothing disturbs or perturbs you.
Abraham was fully persuaded, not half hearted, he did not follow God just because he wanted Isaac, Isaac was in the picture before, but it changed to a bigger picture (Christ) in his faith walk, his faith was tested and proven.
Abraham earned the gift of righteousness by his walk of faith even before Jesus came to establish it through his death and resurrection.
He walked against all hopes, yet never became hopeless. Despite the deadness of his own body and the deadness of Sarah’s womb, he was strong in faith, giving glory to God because he was fully persuaded that God had power to do what He had promised.
Look unto Abraham today. Let his life and doggedness in the Word challenge you. Be persuaded just like Abraham; be resolute and trust every detail of God’s word that comes alive in your heart and rejoice over it. God is ever willing and he is always faith. He can be trusted.
DECLARATION
I am strong in faith; my faith is active, alive and operative. I am fully persuaded in the promises of God for my life and I rejoice in the Lord always. Glory to God!
