Confidence In The Word
Cast not away therefore your confidence, which
hath great recompence of reward. For ye have need
of patience, that, after ye have done the will of
God, ye might receive the promise
(Hebrews 10:35-36).
Your confidence in the Word must be
unshakable. Practise the Word, even in the
simplest matters of life. If, for example, things appear
to be so tough that you aren’t even sure how your next
meal is going to come, be unruffled. Make a confession
of the Word. Remember the words of Jesus in Matthew
6:25: “Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for
your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor
yet for your body, what ye shall put on….”
Paul reechoed the same thing; he said, “Be
careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and
supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be
made known unto God” (Philippians 4:6). Practise
this. Anchor your confidence on the Word. Maybe
you looked into your bank accounts and there’s no
money; that shouldn’t make you condescend to speak
poverty or lack. Refuse to beg. Rather, declare, “I’m
the seed of Abraham; the whole world is mine. I’m
sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency. I have wealth untold.
The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places, and I
have a goodly heritage.”
Act your faith in the Word and you’ll always win.
The Word of God concerning your success, your
greatness, and prosperity has already been given;
think, talk, and walk accordingly and you’d live above
the systems of this world. Reign and prevail over
circumstances with the Word of God on your lips.
It doesn’t matter how deplorable the situation may
be, you can bring forth the glory of God, just as God
brought order to a chaotic earth by speaking forth
words.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 says, “For our light
affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for
us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory;
While we look not at the things which are seen, but at
the things which are not seen….” Notice what it says
will happen when you maintain focus on the Word,
when your confidence is in the Word: that seeming
impossible situation?that trouble or adversity?will
produce for you a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory. Blessed be God!
Prayer
Dear heavenly Father, I thank you for the great assurance of
faith, hope and love in your Word. Now, more than ever,
I’m assured of victory, success and the glory-life, because
your Word says so. My life is a daily manifestation of the
supernatural, because you’ve made me an overcomer; winning
is my lifestyle, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
