Rhapsody of Realities TeeVo Devotional September 20th – Ace The Test

(Your Faith Will Be Tried And Tested)

TO THE BIBLE: Revelation 3:10 NASB
“Because you have kept My word of perseverance, I also will keep you from the hour of the testing, that hour which is about to come upon the whole world, to test those who live on the earth.”

LET’S TALK
In Judges 7, when God wanted Gideon to go fight the Midianites, He assured him through the angel that he (Gideon) would defeat his enemies.

Gideon thought he’d need an army; so, he gathered his soldiers. But God said to him, “If you go with so many soldiers, you might think that you won the battle by yourselves. Tell everyone who’s afraid to go home”; and the Bible says twenty-two thousand of them went home (Judges 7:3)!

Then God said, “I want to test the remaining ten thousand soldiers. Bring them to the stream and tell them to drink water. You’ll retain only those who watch out for the enemy while they drink.”

The Bible says only three hundred of them passed that test (Read Judges 7:4-6)! They didn’t even know they were being tested. This is going to be happening in these last days.

A great test is coming, and it’s already begun because God must separate those that are real from those that aren’t real; those who were never true with God. If this weren’t serious, Jesus wouldn’t require to intervene on behalf of the church in Philadelphia, as read in Revelation 3:10 above.

If your faith in Christ is genuine, it’s going to be tested: “These trials are only to test your faith, to see whether or not it is strong and pure.

It is being tested as fire tests gold and purifies it—and your faith is far more precious to God than mere gold; so if your faith remains strong after being tried in the test tube of fiery trials, it will bring you much praise and glory and honor on the day of his return” (1 Peter 1:7 TLB).

Ace this faith test by letting Jesus Christ and His Kingdom be all that matters to you in this life.

Job 23:10; Colossians 3:1-2

Speak:
I’m deeply rooted and grounded in Christ. I live to fulfil God’s dream, His vision of Kingdom expansion, and world evangelisation. I’m focused on things above and not on the fleeting pleasures of this world. I remain steadfast, unmovable, doing the work of the Lord with joy, as I look forward to His appearing.
