Keep Your Confidence

The concern of the enemy is your confidence. If you can keep your confidence, you will break the stand of the enemy. No matter the contradiction of life that comes your way, do not lose your confidence. When you hoped to be promoted and what you got was a demotion, lose not your confidence. Even in the midst of it all, yet praise the Lord, yet walk with your head high, yet declare the truth of God’s Word, yet be joyful because God is in charge and He is mindful of you (Psalm 8:4). He will not leave you nor forsake you (Hebrews 13:5). In that very situation, He would turn it around in your favour because He is the master of promotions (Psalm 75:6).

When the enemy sees your confidence, they are troubled thinking you have a backup to yourself which makes you not bothered at all. In 2 Chronicles 32, despite all the threat of Sennacherib king of Assyria against Judah and yet they did not panic, he sent his servant to them saying, “whereon do ye trust, that ye abide in the siege of Jerusalem” (2 Chronicles 32:9-10).

God rewards confidence; your confidence in Him, not in the arm of the flesh. When God empowers you with talents and skills, grow in them and be confident to produce the best of you that would bring glory to His Name. Don’t exclude the grace of God in your confidence, every confidence of a believer is channelled to God who gives him what to be confident about. Therefore, go for knowledge, knowledge fuels confidence. Despite what the enemy did to Job, he still said, “For I know that my redeemer liveth…” (Job 19:25). His confidence was in the fact that God is alive and would redeem him.
