BE PERSUADED IN GOD’S ABILITY

Romans 4:21 – “… and being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.”

God is a promise-keeper, and from eternity to eternity, He remains faithful to His word. This is one area where people of God must settle in their journey of faith. How can God, the maker of heaven and earth, give a promise and not have the ability to perform it? Do not let human limitations or the previous experiences you have had with people who have broken promises to you affect your interaction with God!

In Romans 4:21, you will observe 3 words that start with the letter ‘P’, and these words show the job division amongst the parties involved in a faith journey. God is the giver of the PROMISE (you cannot cook up one) and as such, He is responsible to PERFORM it, provided you are PERSUADED in His ability and willingness to do it. He said, “I am watching my word to perform it” (Jeremiah 1:12). He did not ask you to perform it. He asks you to stand on it, so remind God and bring it back to Him. Abraham was persuaded that what God promised, he was able to perform. You must come to that level of persuasion.

What you should be doing is persuading yourself before the time of prayer. Seven people can come out for prayer, and only two of them are persuaded. God goes out of His way to persuade us. Sometimes, when you hear testimonies around, it is God persuading someone. The faster you can persuade yourself, the faster you can get your miracle.

Prayer: Father, help me to have faith in You and to be fully persuaded.
