CONFIDENCE FOR SUCCESS IN LIFE
You need to be confident in life. You cannot succeed in anything without confidence. No one will follow you if you lack self-confidence! Nobody will believe you or your product if you lack confidence. Confidence makes you to be believed by others. Only the confident can inherit their inheritances. It takes confidence to take what actually belong to you. If you lack confidence, you will lose what belong to you. I pray you will succeed in life where others fail in the mighty name of Jesus. Where you had failed before, you will start succeeding now in the mighty name of Jesus. Confidence gets you going in life.
What is success? Success is having a desired outcome; it is hitting your target. But for a believer, success is hitting God’s target for you. That is having God’s desired outcome for your life. Success among human beings is defined only in material terms. Your position, the amount of money you have, your possessions, and your accomplishments in life. But that is not what God calls success. A man’s life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses Luke 12:15. As believers, success is knowing God and doing His will. If you have everything and you do not know Him, as far as God is concern, you are not successful. Mark 8:36 -37 “ For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?”
We need to have clear understanding of success by God’s standard, so that we will not keep chasing after what is not success in the sight of God. Your assessment as a successful man is in knowing God and your relationship with Him. Jeremiah 9:23 “Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise [man] glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty [man] glory in his might, let not the rich [man] glory in his riches.” God is not against your material things, and God will not deny you material things. But success is not defined by them. May you know God; keep increase in His knowledge in the mighty name of Jesus.
Doing what God wants you to do is success. Doing what you are created for is success. Success is doing perfect will of God. If you do not have access to God, you do not have access to the perfect will of God, and you do not have access to success. God wants us to bold to come to His presence that is why He gives us access to His presence Hebrew 4:16. Our sins make us timid to go to His presence. The access to God is through Jesus Christ who rose from death triumphantly. The Cross and the blood of Jesus have given us access to God. Ephesian 2:13 “But now in Christ Jesus ye who sometimes were far off are made nigh by the blood of Christ.” As you keep your relationship with God so also He gives you confidence to succeed in life.
Prayer:
- Father, as I come to You, reveal Yourself unto me in the name of Jesus.
- Father, anoint me to succeed in life in the name of Jesus.
- I receive confidence to succeed in life in the name of Jesus.
- Father, I reject failure in my life in the name of Jesus.
- Father, whatever has been denying me of taking the right path to success, be consumed by fire now in the name of Jesus.
- Father, show me Your plans for my life in the name of Jesus.
