ConVicTion

I think my faithful blog deserves a faithful update! hehe!

 

Just wanna share something that I have learnt in the cell leadership CDS.

 

I believe that as Christians, especially those who are already in the leadership teams, we all have faith at different levels, but sometimes we just need something to activate the faith inside us, which is our conviction.

 

Our faith determines whether we will step forward for God, but our convictions determine how big and how firm the step is. And I realise that, convictions always come with an intimate relationship with God and our trust in Him. If a stranger came to me and asked me to go somewhere to meet him/her at a specific time, my first response will be: ‘Who are you? Why I should go there? What is gonna be there?’ and I will be having a lot of assumptions in my mind. But if someone who I am very close with, and who I trust a lot, came to me and ask me to meet somewhere at a specific time, I won’t even think about what is gonna happen there, because I trust this person enough and I believe that He/She won’t ask me to do something because of no reason, and more importantly, I know that, this person will be there with me when I go there, and I won’t be alone.

 

Same thing can be applied into our walk with God, if we know Him well and trust Him enough; we will therefore have a strong conviction that He will be there with us no matter where He calls us to. And if we have such a strong conviction, we will be bold enough to take a bigger step for Him.

 

I was reminded of the verse in Romans 8: 31 of the Bible. It says ‘What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us?’ yes, if we have a strong conviction that He is with us, nothing will stop us from stepping forward for Him.
