Confidence In Him.


The Lord isn’t slow to do what he promised, as some people think. Rather, he is patient for your sake. He doesn’t want to destroy anyone but wants all people to have an opportunity to turn to him and change the way they think and act.
2 Peter 3:9 GW

Far too many people pride themselves and build their confidence around their career and the wealth it brings.
There is nothing wrong with that, in itself. But, without God, everything is wrong with it.
Everyone enjoy the success it brings until, there arise some storms or troubles of life, in most cases, it is health related or life threatening issues. Then it's like the wealth and fame just evaporate before their very eyes.
We don't need to look too far and long to notice some prominent names of yesterday, who are now shadows of themselves today.
Many have sought for themselves other means of protection outside God, unfortunately it always ends in error and tragedy.
Light will always rule over darkness anytime, anyday and anywhere.
Jesus speaking in John 9:5 said,
"As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world." meaning, to the extent you permit me in your life, I will be your light, your guide, your protection; otherwise, you will be in complete darkness.
"... If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!" Matthew 6:23.

Our confidence should be on God, not on our achievements and wealth; that way His Light can shine on our life with His divine protection that guarantees lifetime relevance, now in this life and in the world to come.

Without God, one it is like sitting on a timed explosive, when it goes off, the legacy and impact of such individual will just disappear (completely forgotten), like they never existed.
What will it profit a man to gain the world and looses his soul? Mark 8:36.
Jesus is the only way to all round rest and success in life, career, profession or business.
Build your confidence on Him today, and be at rest.

(Psalm 73:3;17) 
For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.
Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

A brutish man knoweth not; neither doth a fool understand this. [7] When the wicked spring as the grass, and when all the workers of iniquity do flourish; it is that they shall be destroyed for ever: 
(Psalm 92:6-7) 


Enjoy the blessed life, Jesus is Lord!

SETTLED SOUL

  Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2 The state of one's mind [ soul ] determines his/her place in destiny. In life people are forced to bow to pair pressure or any other kind of pressure when they don't have a stable mind, or let's say the person have identity issue.  When Satan tempted Christ Jesus on His way from the wilderness after forty days prayer and fasting, what was the first question he asked Him? "if thou be the Son of God" if Jesus had had identity issue, he would have fallen for temptation in the view to show off, as a result lost His place and purpose. Knowing fully well that God had said, "... Thou art my beloved Son; in thee I am well pleased." Lk. 3:22. Before embarking on the wilderness expenditure.  When you know who you are in the Word of God and are established in it; you wouldn't bow to the pressure of the world, because you see things differently....

WE KNOW

  We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 3:14 Love is the authentic proof of our salvation. Of course there are different types of love; but I am talking about the Agape love (the God kind of Love). In life you will come across different kind of people even amongst friends and family that will challenge your love walk, tempting you act ugly. But you always find out that there is this strength within that makes you love them all the same. It does not mean you wouldn't be angry. The scripture say, be yea angry and sin not. It's just for a moment, and you'd be right back with your love walk. When you're angry and it's allowed to linger over a period of time, you need to examine yourself, you may have drifted off alittle and if allowed to linger, you will be a long way off-course, and a long way from home (in Christ). Be quick to forgive and love, as it is the proof of life....

PROSPER

 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. 3 John 1:2. The mind consist of one's will, intellect and emotions; which is the soul of man. At salvation the spirit of man; which is also referred to as the heart gets quickened or made alive (But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible,... ) 1 Peter 3:4  The heart is saved, the soul is not. You [we] have a duty to save our soul; and it has to be done through studying the word and meditating upon the word, that's when the transformation of mind/soul begins. Romans 12:2  "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your MIND, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." As you spend more time in the Word of God; like a mirror you beginning to see your true identity from it. This is the reason we are admonished to study the Word of God. Satan knows this, so he tries...
