Feeling Insecure? Here are Five Tips to Building Your Self Confidence

 


I should end this lengthy series on insecurities here. I remember when I still little, I'd wake my mum up in the middle of of the night, after a bad dream, shivering in fear.
And my mum would just recite this verse to me;
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
2 Timothy 1:7
She did that everytime I woke her up for months if not years😅 until I got to understand it myself.
As breeds of Christ, "fear" is something we should only allow under our feets.
Our insecurities are results of our fears.
And If you belong to God, you don’t need to fear what others think of you!
Instead, you can step forward boldly into His purpose for you.
Of Power, He gave. That Power, is our confidence. Sound mind is what happen when you let your fears evaporate, When you accept your identity in Christ.
This is one of my favorite scriptures and I hope it encourages and helps you overcome insecurity if this is a feeling you struggle with personally.
On the podcast last Thursday we discussed five tips to building self confidence. They're all in the slides above. I'd like to add to the last point which says: "learn".
A part of learning is also studying the Bible.
The word of God comes in handy when we need to challenge our thoughts and silence that inner critic.
Like the one i quoted earlier.
Imagine what happens when I remind myself of 2Timothy 1:7 when I'm about to embark on a project I feel so scared to start.
My God has not given me the spirit of fear, but of power, of love and sound mind. I am powerful and with the help of my God I CAN...
That changes everything!
And need we forget not that This God, the Almighty is our ONLY Security. And Nothing is impossible with Him. Here are the tips I've got for y'all:

Why You Need to Keep Record of Your Salvation Experience.

There are some memories that should never be forgotten, one of which is the story of your salvation. I think our Faith hangs on it somehow. Daily reminding ourselves that once we were lost but now and we are found. Daily reminding ourselves that our human mind never would have reckoned that the freedom which we now enjoy in Christ was possible. Daily reminding ourselves how broken, sad, confused, worried and tired we were before we found Christ who gave us peace in abundantly. Yes, our faith hangs on these memories. Because there would be days when salvation become visibly "no longer relevant", then we have reasons to say, no. I still can't afford to loose it. My old life wasn't better off. But there's one more reason why we should never forget our beginning with God. Worship. How do you worship God the best way when you have chosen to forget your personal experience of Him? And By Worship here, it goes beyond the emotions we feel while singing to Him. Fine, it is...

Is the Sermon On The Mount Meant for Everyone?

 Is the Sermon On The Mount Meant for Everyone? The teaching of Jesus from Matt 5 up to Matt 7:28 is called “The Sermon on the Mount” because Jesus preached it on a mountain side. This sermon shows what Jesus meant when He commanded people to repent. It reveals what entering God's kingdom means, both in one's inner experience and outward behavior. It reveals principles which operate in the kingdom, and those things which exclude people from the kingdom. The sermon begins with the word “blessed”. So we can say the sermon sets forth the blessed life – who the blessed are and how they should behave. The blessed are those in the kingdom of heaven (Matt 5:3). This sermon does not give specific instructions as to how to enter God's kingdom but shows what sort of people are in it, and what they should seek to become and do. This sermon, for the most part, is for disciples of the Lord Jesus, not for everyone. However, it seems clear from Matt 7:28 that many other people besides H...

The Story Of Salvation According To Matthew 1

  The name “Jesus”, like the Hebrew name Joshua, means “the LORD (Jehovah) saves”. The word “Christ” is from the Greek language and means “anointed one”. Its meaning is the same as “Messiah” taken from the Hebrew.  The Messiah was to be anointed by God – that is, set apart and consecrated by God, to fulfill the promises of the Old Testament. He was to be prophet, king, and priest. According to the Old Testament the Messiah had to be a descendant of Abraham, the father of the Jewish nation, and of David, Israel's greatest king. To show that this was true of the Lord Jesus, Matthew gives this genealogy in Matthew 1 which shows how Jesus relates to David and Abraham by Ancestry.   Jesus as to His human nature was descended from David who lived a thousand years before Him, and from Abraham who lived nearly two thousand years before Him. The women whose name showed up on this genealogy (Rahab, Bethseba and Ruth) teaches us of God's wonderful grace and mercy towards sinful peop...
