DO NOT ABANDON YOUR CONFIDENCE

Post date: Mar 26, 2014 4:00:48 AM

Only the words of the promises of God are a hundred present sure to be fulfilled in the lives of those who hold on to them till the very last minute. All are very sure to come to pass despite the number of days or years they may be delayed and resisted. The words of God that we hold onto everyday are not sustained by you but are sustained by the power that is in your God. You are only required to hold to them by faith consistently knowing that God will never deviate from what He had said and will reward you at the end.

Believing in those words of promises is one step in the right direction that will eventually lead you to seeing all of them fulfilled, and holding on to them is another step in waiting till they are fully accomplished and evidently seen in your life. God will not make empty promises and will not allow you to stray away or remain sad indefinitely as you hold unto those words. One thing the devil will succeed in doing to stop strong believers is to make them lose confidence in the promises of God after a period of time.

Those who truly belief in Jesus Christ as their Lord and savior should know that the devil is never relenting in his thoughts, ways and action to see you derailed from the faith. He knows that he cannot make you renounce Christ Jesus, and he cannot make you turn away from believing and following Him, he will desires to make you doubt the power of the promise being fulfilled, loss confidence in your expectations through unimaginable delays after qualifying for what you know you need and have done all to deserve them.

He will also bring along all kinds of uncomfortable confrontations, frustrations, temptations, anger, denials and create doubts inside of you about God’s ability and willingness to answer and grant your prayer request. Through this means, he weakens your heart and hands, discouraging you from continuing in the services that you were sure carries great rewards; destroying your confidence and your hope in God, in the things you are doing now, and in what you will become tomorrow. he will also create fear and shame in your life now.  

Apostle Paul admonishes us in the Scriptures that, despite all of the hindrances and all the unexpected delays that will confront us, we should never give up our confidence in the word and in the ability of God to do what said he will do; never to give up our believe in the love, mercies and cares of our Lord; not to give up our confidence in continuing in our good services in His name; not to give up our confidence in continuing in praying fervently and effectively at all times, not to give up our confidence in all situations and irrespective of our location. There is no situation and no location that your God does not see and cannot act decisively for your good.

Your future, your next joy, progress and establishment will never be defined by the current unhealthy situations holding you down today, it will definitely be defined by the confidence you have in your God, in His words and in your continuous services to Him.

“Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away and enjoy to the full what is promised. For still a little while a very little while, and the Coming One will come and He will not delay. But the just shall live by faith, My righteous servant shall live by his conviction respecting man’s relationship to God and divine things, and holy fervor born of faith and conjoined with it; and if he draws back and shrinks in fear, My soul has no delight or pleasure in him. But our way is not that of those who draw back to eternal misery perdition and are utterly destroyed, but we are of those who believe, who cleave to and trust in and rely on God through Jesus Christ, the Messiah and by faith preserve the soul.” Hebrews 10:35-39.
