"OH WHERE IS YOUR CONFIDENCE?"

Post date: Jan 13, 2019 11:26:30 PM

Many things are happening and many more will continue to happen; things that are expected and things that are never expected; things that are exciting and things that are humiliating; things that are hopeful and things that are destroying hope and our faith; things that are of good report and things that are not of good report and these things are happening to believers and non-believers at the same rate and in the same place but despite all these things happening in the lives of all the believers and all the followers of Jesus Christ, God is making a difference through the actions on their confidence in His word, in His promises, and in His presence. Irrespective of what you are experiencing or going through, your confidence in this very life is very important to God, your confidence today is important to yourself, your confidence is important for your success, your confidence is important to the church, your confidence is important to your present desires, your confidence is important to your desired freedom, your confidence is important to your happiness, important to your fulfillment, important to other believers and your confidence is important to your present and future desires as a Christian, and God wants you to grow your confidence now.

The level of your confidence is dependent on you, on what you hear from the scriptures and on the Holy Spirit, and not on what you see or will see in others, not on what you will hear or not hear from others, and not on what you are or will experience. It does not depend on what others are doing or will do against you. God wants to make a difference in you through the level of your confidence in Him, confidence in His words, and confidence on His promises, not on what you have as wealth, not on what you do as a profession, not on your level of strength, of education, of ability, of knowledge, of wisdom, or of job, but on your confidence in Him alone. Many are falling, many are failing, many are confused and many are troubled yet God is building up many, He is raising up many from a fall, rescuing many from the power of confusion, He is restoring many and giving many a stable foundation through His words, His promises and His presence in their lives. Where is your confidence in Christ? Where is your confidence in His words? Where is your confidence in what you believe, follow, and heard? Where is your confidence in Christ Leadership concerning the issues in your life? Where is the place of God’s confidence and His words in your heart, where is God’s confidence in your decisions and your actions? The level of your confidence in Christ and His words will determine what and how you think; what you do in life, what you expect from God and man and how long you are ready and willing to wait for what God had promised to be fulfilled? Your confidence is important in all things and in all circumstances, despite the location, despite what people are doing, saying, and looking at or treating you. It is evident, God will never leave you; He will never let you down, He will never change His plans and desires for your life.

“Balaam said to Balak, stand here by your burnt offering, and I will meet God over there. The Lord met Balaam, told him what to say, and sent him back to Balak to give him his message. So he went back and found Balak still standing by his burnt offering, with the leaders of Moab. Balak asked what the Lord had said, and Balaam uttered this prophecy: come, Balak son of Zippor and listen to what I have to say. God is not like people, who lie; He is not a human who changes His mind. Whatever he promises, He does; He speaks, and it is done. I have been instructed to bless, and when God blesses, I cannot call it back. I foresee that Israel's future will bring her no misfortune or trouble. The Lord their God is with them; they proclaim that He is their king. God has brought them out of Egypt; He fights for them like a wild ox. There is no magic charm, no witchcraft that can be used against the nation of Israel. Now people will say about Israel, look what God has done, the nation of Israel is like a mighty lion: it doesn't rest until it has torn and devoured until it has drunk the blood of those it has killed. Then Balak said to Balaam, you refuse to curse the people of Israel, but at least don't bless them. Numbers 23:15-26. Prayer Request Click here
