Cultivating Conviction _Pt 2

<p>Tuesday 22nd September, 2020.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>Hello and a lovely Tuesday morning to you in the name of Jesus.</p> <p><br></p> <p>We thank God for everything He is doing. We are still talking about cultivating your conviction. Yesterday we read from the book of Acts 7:24-35 and we see the journey of Moses. We saw how God moved him from one place when he was forty. A place where he was very convinced that God had sent him as the deliverer of Israel and by the time he was eighty, Moses had nothing to do with God, he had nothing to do with the children of Israel until God helped him build his conviction.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Life had happened when he was forty. He had been betrayed, his people rejected him, they had accused him and he ran out of fear, his conviction when he was young that he will be a deliverer and all that had disappeared and the truth is this; when we receive a promise from God, when we have conviction and have faith that God has called us to be something or do something. Sometimes life happens. What do I mean by life happens? The challenges of life comes, the storm comes, the wind comes and the rain comes and sometimes they come through those who we love. They come through those we are living our life for and those we want to help and he could be very painful and that was what Moses experienced.</p> <p><br></p> <p>He was disappointed that the people I want to help, the people I try to do something for, they are the same people that turned against me. So went to Median and for forty years, he was living in isolation he had nothing to do, he was just living a mundane normal life but God spoke to him again at the age of 80 and as he began to open up himself to God's word as he began to interact with God, his conviction began to grow. He began to cultivate his conviction and God sent him to the same land of Egypt where he had ran away a fugitive and this time God said I am sending you there as their ruler and &nbsp;saviour.</p> <p><br></p> <p>If you read the book of Exodus chapter 3&amp;4.
