RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD: FROM FAITH-CONFESSION TO FAITH-CONVICTION!
“And being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform. And therefore ‘it was accounted to him for righteousness.’”
Romans 4:21–22
Yesterday, we saw that Chapter 16 was not the end for Abraham.
Between Genesis 16 and Genesis 17 were thirteen silent years.
No recorded visitation.
No recorded revelation.
No external sign of God’s favour.
Yet heaven was not silent!
During those years, the Holy Spirit was working within Abraham and Sarah, bringing them into a deeper conviction that God is faithful.
Abraham moved from faith-confession to faith-conviction.
Confession says:
“God has promised it.”
Conviction says:
“I am fully convinced that God is able to perform what He has promised (irrespective of my past failures and present hopeless condition)!”
Romans 4:21 says Abraham was “fully convinced” that God was able to do what He promised—and this was accounted to him for righteousness.
This is the beautiful truth of 2 Timothy 2:13:
“If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.”
The silent years were not wasted years. God was working within Abraham and Sarah.
Perhaps you are in a silent season today. Don’t mistake God’s silence for God’s absence.
The Holy Spirit is deepening your conviction until your heart can say:
HE IS ABLE!
Your righteousness is not based on what you see, feel or achieve.
You are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!
And because your confidence is in His faithfulness—not your faithfulness, you can rest.
This shift from faith-confession to faith-conviction will bring the ultimate lift!
🙏 PRAYER
Daddy God, thank You that even in my silent seasons, You are working within me by Your Holy Spirit. Thank You that Your faithfulness does not depend on my faithfulness.
Take me from faith-confession to faith-conviction. Make me fully convinced that You are able to fulfil everything You have promised.
I rest in Your righteousness, Your grace and Your faithfulness.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
📣 PROCLAMATION
I am the Righteousness of God in Christ Jesus!
God is faithful, even when I am faithless.
His silence does not mean His absence.
The Holy Spirit is working within me.
My faith is moving from confession to conviction.
I am fully convinced that HE IS ABLE!
I rest in His righteousness and receive His abundant grace.
I AM SHIFTED TO BE LIFTED!
Praise the Risen Jesus!
