Self-confidence!

 “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” Philippians 4:13 KJV

As a child of God, you must never doubt yourself. The Spirit of God dwells in you (1 John 4:4). Through Christ Jesus, you carry the wisdom and the power of God (1 Corinthians 1:24). You have the authority to decree a thing, and it shall be established (Job 22:28). You can speak to the mountain, and it will obey (Mark 11:23). When you pass through fire, it shall not burn you; when you pass through the waters, they shall not overflow you (Isaiah 43:2).

Consider these examples:

·        Peter said to the lame man, “…what I have I give unto you: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, rise up and walk” (Acts 3:6). That was self-confidence rooted in faith in the name of Jesus.

·        David told King Saul, “Let no man’s heart fail because of him; thy servant will go and fight with this Philistine” (1 Samuel 17:32). To Goliath, he declared, “This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee” (1 Samuel 17:45–47).

True confidence is not arrogance. It is boldness founded on the truth that God has empowered you: “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Timothy 1:7). Without self-confidence, you cannot achieve much. However, when your confidence is anchored in Christ, you will always find a way to overcome.

Prophetic Word: I prophesy over you that from today, you will confront every challenge with the assurance that you can handle it effectively and successfully, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Oh God, let my thoughts, words, and actions reflect the fact that You live in me. Let my life be a testimony of confidence in Christ, in Jesus’ name. Amen.
