'CONFI...STEP OUT' (Heb 10:32, 2 Chron. 15, )

Good Evening to you all. Let me start with these terms or jargons.

APOSO...CAPA..
Maybe, we will use these jargons later.

Well today, we do 'CONFI' simply, CONFIDENCE.Its siblings are Boldness &Courage.
That is what my focal lenses are on, on 'MESSAGE FOR THE EVENING'

In reading the book of Exodus, I had always wondered why the Isrealites upon God's faithfulness always lost hope when they jumped into another test.

They always forgot&behave as if  there had no God.

Come to think of it... relating this to our lives, how many times have I or have you not done same?

I tell you if the same God has brought this far, then why won't he take us to the expected end.
This is where our CONFI, I mean our CONFIDENCE should be.

Let's look at Asa story in 2 Chron. 15
As the spirit of God came upon Azariah the Prophet, he told the Asa the king that the Lord is with you,he'll never forsake you... for you only have to seek him first in all you do.

These were truly  reassuring words for Israel(King Asa) because they were without God himself & a Priest to direct their ways. 

As a result the Lord allowed a lot of troubles to come their way.

However, Asa rather took CONFIDENCE from these words and did the below:

"When Asa heard these words and the prophecy of Azariah... he took courage. He removed the detestable idols from the whole land of Judah and Benjamin..."

This is what King Asa  did...he took Courage from the word that came to him. HE STEPPED OUT IN CONFIDENCE.

 

What we do mostly when we face problems& challenges is to take fear, doubt & hopelesness from them instead of the opposite.

Ask yourself how many times have you not faced that, how many times have God's word not spoken/reassured you about it.

Also, how many times have you not seen it happen in someone's life???

In all these, didn't he(GOD) prove faithful even in times we didn't understand/thought impossibility.

He says even if we are faithless, he'll FAITHFUL. 

Always take CONFIDENCE from who God is, what he's done and will do. He's so unfailing such that he's put that 'CONFI'  in you to go forth👇🏻

Hebrews 10:35
'So do not throw away your confidence; it will be richly rewarded.'

SO I SAY:
YOU HAVE THE 'CONFI...STEP OUT'
