Stop Believing in Yourself

 


Stop believing in yourself

Something I learnt doing early but understood later: “Don’t believe in yourself.”

How can you make it in life if you don’t believe in yourself? Exactly, today the world advocates the self attitude. We are told to at least have the ability to tell ourselves that we can do it! The funny thing is: how many times have you told yourself you can do it and you never did it? How many times have you told yourself you got this and you never got it?

It might sound strange to you, but it’s an error to believe in yourself. Nowhere in the Bible to my studying so far, have I been told to believe in myself, to trust myself. But I have been told repeatedly to believe God, to believe in God, to trust God, to trust in God...for those who trust in themselves are fools (Proverbs 28:26). Lean not on your own understanding but trust God with ALL your heart. Plainly, Jesus was like you know what, abide in me and I in you; for without me you can DO NOTHING. It is then further said, you do what you do because it is God who works in you both to will and to DO...

And it is interesting how the Lord said come to me all you who are weary and burdened. It’s interesting again how He was like it is not the healthy that need a doctor, but the sick.

Yoh, so you say you can do it? Who told you? Yet the Lord without Him said you can’t. If it’s Him enabling you to do, who then is doing it: you or Him? Coz if you feel you’re healthy and got enough strength to do it, you don’t need Jesus. For He is for those who can’t, for His power is perfected in our weakness and so I will boast for when am weak,  I am strong...it is written. Believe in yourself huh? What’s there to believe in ourselves if not Jesus? When you believe in yourself, you are the Lord of yourself, ouch!!! 

Hey buddy, stop believing in yourself,  stop believing you can do it. But believe that God in you is gonna do it again and again and again. Be weary, be unable, be sick and the Jesus who came for such surely is made manifest. Not by power, not by might, but by the Spirit of God...yeees we gonna do it and we gonna make it. For it is no longer we that liveth, but Christ in us. Don’t believe in yourself; believe in God in yourself.

FINANCIAL HEALTH

  Part 1:    Introduction Well, I wanted to say something else today but I have been withheld from saying it yet. Instead today let's talk money. Today I was meditating on money and I was graced to write down something.  Now, the question might be, are you financially healthy yourself that you want to share something in that context? What do you understand? Well, by fact I am not and I understand nothing about that context. That's why I won't be the one speaking. The prophetic me, the future me will do the speaking coz oooh yeeees am rich, am financially healthy, glory to God.   Shall we? In this world we live, money is good. Following the history of money, money has come to be the standard medium through which life is governed. Today, life is sweet with good foods; the body needs shiny coverage, good clothes; sleeping is comfortable on a soft good bed; it is everyone’s desire to drive fancy cars; who doesn’t want to go get education and one time be called a...

FINANCIAL HEALTH (Final)

Final Part 6:  Laws of Financial Health     5 .        Law of Survival There are two stages in most aspects of life that demands attention: the start of life and survival of life . It’s not easy to be born and neither is it to actually sustain that life. It’s one thing to get your finances moving, and it’s another thing to maintain the movement. Most people have had the chance of financial health but failed to sustain it.  Financial health demands that you apply the law of survival if you wanna keep living a financial stress-free life. The law of survival seeks to sustain your finances. They say it is normal to fall, get up and walk again, but it’s also normal to get up, walk and never fall again. The latter is what we should normalize as our financial lifestyle, get on board and keep sailing. Risks and uncertainties are there yes but we are saying you can keep excelling as if these have never been there. You can live a life that people...

The Man's Standard

  The Man's Standard This year let’s begin by talking a bit of a man’s standard. One of the things we got to continuously pay attention to is our standards. Either you gotta maintain or raise your standard. By literal definition, a standard is a state of excellence or quality. Excellence never is without what guides its being. Thus, a standard is further defined as a set of rules, pattern or principles agreed upon. It is this set of rules that produce excellence or quality when followed through. Now, rules or say principles help man to be singled out. Standard guards man. From the very beginning, God gave man a standard to function by. In man God fused excellence, quality of being and at the same time God guided man in a standard; principles by which man would sustain the excellence in him. 🪔There is a way man is supposed to function, such that he malfunctions when he functions out of this supposed way. It’s for this reason that you cannot do things anyhow as a person, you need ...
