FIRM CONVICTIONS THAT AFFIRMS THE UNSHAKEABLE ABILITIES OF GOD

Uncertainties abound in this world that is constantly changing. This makes it essential for a believer to have firm convictions and unshakeable faith in the abilities of God. The Holy Bible provides numerous references that reaffirms the place of conviction which serve as a guiding light in times of distress and uncertainty.


One of the firmest convictions that affirms the unshakeable abilities of God is the belief in His omnipotence. In the book of Genesis, which states “And God said, Let there be light: and there was light” (Genesis 1:3), we are made to understand that God’s words are efficacious as to bring into fulfillment non-existent phenomenon, especially when He pronounces it. This simple statement demonstrates the boundless power of God. With a word, He created light out of darkness, illustrating His unlimited abilities to bring about change and transformation.


Furthermore, the scriptures highlight God’s extraordinary ability to provide for His people. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus reassures His disciples, saying, “Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on... for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things” (Matthew 6:25-32). This passage emphasizes that God is aware of our needs and has the power to meet them. By having firm convictions in His provision, we can find solace in any circumstance, knowing that He will supply us with what we need.


The unshakeable abilities of God are further demonstrated through His ability to restore sanity to our health. When Jesus Christ walked the earth, He performed numerous miracles, healing the sick and even raising the dead back to life. In the book of Matthew, we find the account of a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years. Even in her desperate state, she believed in the unshakeable abilities of God, declaring to herself, “If I may touch his garment, I shall be whole” (Matthew 9:21). Her conviction in God’s healing power led to her immediate restoration. This story serves as a reminder of the unchanging power of God to heal and restore, even in the most challenging circumstances.


Another crucial conviction that affirms the unshakeable abilities of God is the belief in His faithfulness and promises. The book of Psalms reminds us, “Know therefore that the LORD thy God, he is God, the faithful God... who keepeth covenant and mercy with them that love him” (Deuteronomy 7:9). God’s faithfulness remains unshaken throughout generations, and His promises are always fulfilled. This conviction provides reassurance that God will never abandon or forsake His people, regardless of the challenges they may face.


Lastly, the Bible affirms God’s unshakeable ability to transform lives. The apostle Paul writes in 2 Corinthians, “Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). This verse illustrates the transformative power of God. When individuals have firm convictions in His abilities, they can experience true spiritual renewal and growth, leaving behind their old ways and embracing a new life in Christ.


In conclusion, firm convictions that affirm the unshakeable abilities of God are essential in navigating the uncertainties of life. By relying on references from the Holy Bible, we find comfort and strength in God’s limitless power, provision, healing, faithfulness, and transformative abilities. Regardless of the circumstances we face, our unwavering faith in God remains the conviction that allows us to walk confidently, knowing that God is always in control and will always be faithful to His promises.

DO NOT DEPAIR

Having found out whom God is... DO NOT DESPAIR TEXT: PSALM 13:1-6 Key verse: “How long wilt thou forget me, O LORD? for ever? how long wilt thou hide thy face from me?” (Psalm 13:1) . Life throws up new challenges every day. This often makes the believer begin to think that God had abandoned him. Except he rouses himself up, he would become discouraged and lose all hope that help would ever come to him. David got to that point many times in his numerous battles in life. He probably prayed and fasted for long periods, but the onslaught of the enemy did not end. He was running out of options, hence he spoke in desperation to God. He seemed to conclude that He had forsaken him and wondered how long God would hide himself, and how long he was going to be abandoned to himself, getting ever more sorrowful daily. He was troubled that the enemy seemed to be triumphing over him; ...

NO SHORTCUT

If it is to be done aright, be rest assured that there is... NO SHORTCUT BELIEVERS' DIGEST PUBLICATION Bible Reading: 1 KINGS 15:16-24 Key Verse: “There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent unto thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me” (1 Kings 15:19). Men always seek shortcut to success in life. Rather than live by God’s righteous standard, they seek to achieve success by any means possible. They justify their action by arguing that the end does indeed justify the means. This is despite their moral failings and character flaws, all of which contravene God’s expectations from His children. Such was the beginning of the end for King Asa, who had begun well to rule Judah and had introduced gr...

A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE

WINNERS' INTEREST PUBLICATION A GEM OF SPECTACULAR INFLUENCE Bible Reading: 1 Samuel 3:19-21 (KJV) Key Verse: “And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground” (1 Samuel 3:19). The world, in which we live today is filled with corrupting influences. This forms the basis of God's call to His people to rise as rare treasures of purity and power. A “Gem of Spectacular Influence” is not an ordinary person. It describes a believer whose life carries unique, enduring value that transcends fleeting worldly trends. Like a precious gem that retains its brilliance even in darkness, such a life reflects resolute determination to pursue excellence in glorifying God, undimmed by surrounding negativity. The story of Samuel powerfully illustrates this truth. Raised in the tabernacle at Shiloh under the aged priest Eli, Samuel was surrounded by evil practices. Eli’s sons, Hophni and Phinehas, were notorious for ...
