SELF-CONFIDENCE OR STRONG IN GOD

Posted by George Soepboer Sr

When must not seek our strength in self-confidence but we must be strong in God.

Our self-confidence will always hinder us from being strong in God, for all of Self-confidence is pride and all pride separates us from God.
( Isaiah 2:12-22 ).

Our self-confidence will also hinder us from being fruitful on this world for God, for our strength must only be in God if we wish to be fruitful for God.
( John 15:5 ).

We are noting without God, therefore when we seek our strength in self-confidence then we insult God.
( Psalms 104:24-30 ).

Self-confidence and self-pride will not only hinder us from being strong in God, but self-pride will also hinder us from surrendering ourselves to God, for self-pride and self-will will never truly submit to the will of God. We can only be free from that self-confidence and self- pride by the grace of God, for true freedom from self-confidence and self-pride can only be ours through God.( Psalm 146:7 ).

Only when we humble ourselves before God and surrender our life to God do we receive freedom within from God to become strong in God, and only then are we alive in God and only then can we live for God.
( Psalms 25:9 ).

When we are weak in ourselves then we become strong in God, for then our hope and strength is not in ourselves but then our hope and strength is in God.
( 1 Corinthians 1:27 ).

When our hope and strength is in God then there is no weakness within us for then our whole life is in God. When our whole life is in God then we may feel weak but then but we are strong for then our strength is not in our-self confidence but then we are strong in God.
( 2 Corinthians 12-10 ).
