Holding On To Our Confession

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; for he is faithful that promised (Heb 10:23)

The profession of a believer comes from the mouth. The mouth is what the believer uses in holding on to his faith. The mouth of a believer is very vital in the life of faith. We must be watchful over our words, because we must not say something not in line with our faith. Our mouth has assumed a role more than just eating and it is not just a part of our body but an instrument for exerting our authority here on earth.

We are well familiar with holding things with our physical hands, but when we are in faith, we 'hold up' with our words. Our words show whether we are in faith or not. When we decide to take sides with God's word against any predicament, our confessions thereafter must not negate our confession of faith, else we are wavering. When you say the Lord God Almighty is my healer, don't go about saying, 'will I be healed'?

Whenever we speak in faith with God's word over our circumstances, we are putting God's word to work. The authority at the back of God's word begins to work in our favour. From our minds God's word starts working. We begin to see the situation not as it is, but in the light of God's word. You know how wearing a shade on a sunny day changes the colour of everything around you, that's the same effect we experience when we confess God's word long enough about us.

The more reason we are to hold on to our confession in spite of contradicting circumstances is the faithfulness of God. The promise we are holding on to was given by someone who has a character not to fail. In the face of death, three men still thought it best out of a solid conviction to bank on God. 'If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king.' (Dan 3:17)

They knew the ability of God from what He had done in time past for them. They knew He brought them out of the land of bondage through the Red sea to the land of promise. They knew from the stories told them how He delivered them from several dangers and gave them victory over their enemies. They knew God was dependable because He has come to their rescue before.

This is why we don't waver in our confession because we are assured of Him whose words we believe and confess. His word is true and always true. We can go to bed, resting in the promise of God.

If you have not made Jesus Christ your Lord and saviour, you cannot take advantage of what God had prepared for you. We urge you, don’t wait another moment. Make up your mind and say this prayer:

“Dear God, I ask you to forgive me all my sins and make me anew. I believe that Jesus died for me and you raised him up on the third day, I confess that He is Lord now and forever. I accept your son, Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour.”

Congratulations! Now that you are born again, look for a bible believing church to attend that you might know what he has provided for you.
