Convictions That Conquer

to read: Daniel

You Don't Really Believe What You Don't Behave


-Are your convictions just as strong as when people are JEERING at you as when they are cheering for you?


-Are you a Play-Dough Christian?
Why do we let the world pressure us from without, when the Word should mold us from within?

-You're not going to lose any friends when you stand for your convictions (FROM THE WORD)... you're gonna find out who your real friends are! If we stand for righteousness, God WILL give us a spiritual perception that others don't get!

2 Tim 2:24

24And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,

25In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth;

26And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.


When a man's ways please the Lord, he makes even his enemies be at peace with him.

1Cor 15:58
58Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.

Don't take your eyes off that "tree"!
You CANNOT sight-see and expect to get anything done!

220108, Tuesday.

Wow. It might not seem like a long time, but within this period i have learnt such a vast amount of things that i can only fall down at my Heavenly Father's feet and thank Him for what He has revealed to me.

It is so, so Amazing how much the Lord gives when you walk by faith in Him. There is no such thing as "more faith" in the quantative sense. "More", "Great", "Little" faith all mean the DURATION, be it long-termed or short-termed...

We are either exercising faith, or we are not! It IS as simple as that. For we do not somehow try to "muster up more (quantitative) faith"; Instead we look to our Saviour and trust Him for it!

How great my shame when i realised that i only had this revelation TODAY... but i thank my Great God who reveals Himself to us in His time (: And when i applied this concept, my prayers were answered almost immediately! I managed to talk to 3friends (F, S, T) about Christ today.. and it WAS a DIVINE APPOINTMENT... to S, and F joined in the conversation on the walk to the mrt with F and T. After F left, i sat the same bus as T to go home. Now usually i wouldnt like to go home with other people cos i would want to do my stuff on the bus (so i was thinking of catching the other bus to go home instead), but the Lord spoke and reminded me that it was His time! And so i went ahead with her... and she voluntarily continued the conversation! It was like... a miracle. Everything flowed so smoothly that.. i just look back and gasp in amazement at how my Lord works... truly! Wow..
