Description
<p>Hello and a lovely Friday to you in name of Jesus. </p> <p><br></p> <p>We thank God for His love, we thank Him for everything He’s doing , has done and what He will yet do.</p> <p>We’re moving on in the month of September and we Thank God for grace. We’re still talking about conviction that conquers and I trust God that your conviction is conquering every single day in the name of Jesus.</p> <p>We’ll be reading from Genesis chapter 22 :7-8 (NKJV) “ But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?” 8 And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.”</p> <p>Now we remember this in story. God was testing Abraham, testing his conviction. He said ".. go and sacrifice your son..."He made it very clear “your only son Isaac that you love; go and sacrifice him on a mountain I will show you." So Abraham took his son Isaac and two of his servants with him and they went on a 3 day journey to Mount Moriah were he was to sacrifice Isaac. When they got to a point, he said the servants should wait behind while himself and Isaac go for the sacrifice “Wait for me, myself and my son will go and sacrifice and we’ll come back to you”. As they were walking up to this place Isaac asked a very intelligent question, he said “Dad I can see the wood, I can see the fire, where is the sacrifice?” and Abraham said something that is very very important to us when it comes to overcoming challenges, when it comes to conquering with our conviction. He said “God will provide for Himself the lamb”</p> <p>When we come face to face with life challenges and we want our conviction to conquer it's important our conviction is based solidly on what God has said. We cannot base our conviction on some fickle desire, we cannot base it on feelings, we cannot base it on hearsay, it must be based solidly on what God has said. Abraham knew that Isaac
