Confidence; Have You Got It?

Confidence is a belief in one’s own or another’s
abilities. It is also defined as faith or absolute
trust. We rise or fall to the level of our confidence.
Confidence attracts miracles. It attracts the right
kind of people into our lives. It enables us to
attempt great things. And when we attempt great
things we achieve great things. On the other hand,
fear, worry and doubt are ingredients of failure.
They attract negative people and negative
circumstances into our lives. They guarantee
defeat. To build confidence, you must get rid of
fear, worry and doubt.
You see, those who talk with confidence get
meaningful results. For prayers to be effective, it
has to be said in faith or confidence. Confidence
commands the flow of God’s supernatural power
on our behalf.
The enemy of confidence is inferiority complex.
Once we perceive ourselves as being inferior to
others or to situations and circumstances, we
become victims.
You are not a victim, you are a victor. You are
created in the image of God. You have the God-
given ability to overcome every challenge.
Whatever is confronting you today, rise up and
confront it.
Now, to build confidence, the first thing to do is to
live right before God. If your lifestyle is right with
God, nothing can harass you.
Perhaps you may have done something wrong and
you are feeling guilty. All you need to do is ask for
forgiveness from God and who ever you may have
wronged. Forget those past mistakes and move on.
Another key to confidence is The presence of God.
Knowing that God is with you boosts your
confidence just like when a child knows that his
father is standing right behind him. God’s
presence makes it impossible for you to be
scared. It gives you courage to dare things you
would not dare under normal circumstances.
Let the presence of God become more real to you
today, than the presence of your spouse, children
or friends. Talk to God today, He is your very
present help in the time of trouble.
Another key to confidence is the knowledge of
God.
The more you discover about God, the stronger
your confidence grows. When He makes a
promise, it is inevitable that the promise will come
to pass. What looks like an impossible situation to
you is a very cheap case for God. He makes a way
where there seems to be no way. He can turn your
lack into abundance.
Fear is one of the enemies of faith or confidence.
Do not expect the worst to happen. Expect the
best. God has not given you the spirit of fear but of
love, of power and a sound mind.
Another enemy of confidence is worry.
Worry ruins people’s health and leads some to
suicide. EVERY CHALLENGE IN YOUR LIFE IS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR A MIRACLE. The more you
worry, the farther miracles move away from you
because without faith or confidence, it is
impossible to please God.
Finally, dominate your doubts.
Doubts are not altogether bad. They bring caution
and lead to careful examination of the facts at
hand. However, we must not allow doubts to
become mountains in our minds, paralyzing our
initiative. Doubts can be destructive.
Eradicate doubts by focusing on the word of God
about your situation. Act on your dreams. Do the
things that you are afraid to do, but which you
know will lead to your breakthrough. God is on
your side. Take the giant step.

You will succeed
