STEPPING OUT OF THE WEB OF UNHEALTHY SELF-ESTEEM

6^TH OCTOBER, 2021

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 8:1-13; Luke 7

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Philippians 3:1-17, Ephesians 2:4-10, Isaiah 40:31

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),

6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,

7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

8 For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God,

9 not of works, lest anyone should boast.

10 For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

MEMORY VERSE: "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."– Philippians 4:8

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:

You are born to be real and not perfect. Don't live in the shadow of another. Live the life that God has created you to live.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
AS YOU CONNECT TO THE TRUTH OF GOD'S WORD TODAY, MAY YOU BE SET FREE FROM ALL SELF-INFLICTED BONDAGES, IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS.

THE MESSAGE:

Beloved, you cannot afford to remain in unhealthy self-esteem's web of destruction. It is time you stepped out into the freedom that Jesus Christ wrought for those who believe in Him.

Your starting point is to get back to God and redefine yourself in the light of God's word. You need to appreciate the divine value that God has placed upon your life. You are more precious than gold to God. You are created in His image. This implies that no matter your shape or size, it can be found in the Person of God. So, come off the complex. Shake off your fears! Be bold and be strong, because the Lord is with you. When you are weak, He will make you strong. When you fall, even seven times, you shall rise again. All because God has given His word; it is Yes and Amen. It never fails!

Begin to think and act right. Speak edifying words, even to yourself. According to Philippians 4:8, let positive things flow from your heart. You will act positively and your words will carry grace. Let the Holy Spirit guide you in all your ways. When you are Spirit-led, you will act in conformity with your divine personality. You no longer see failure but success, and you are ready to explore and manifest your potentials.

Are you afraid to take risks and surmount challenges? Don't be like the ten spies who saw fear, failure and defeat. But in spite of the overwhelming figure of the giants and other obvious impediments, Joshua and Caleb saw faith, breakthrough and total victory by the power of the Lord God of Israel (Numbers 13). With God on your side you shall experience healthy self-esteem, in the name of Jesus.

Choose the right company. A companion of wise men shall increase in wisdom (Proverbs 13:20). Make friends with those who would add value to your life. Refuse the company of grumblers and complainers. It tends to failure discouragement and bitterness. Depart from all attitudes of mere performances and sycophant behaviour. Be real! God is able to perfect your imperfections.

Set healthy and attainable goals and with prayers you will accomplish them. Feed on the Word of God consistently; let it dwell richly in you. Claim the promises and let them remind you of God's faithfulness at all times. Believe that He that started His good work in you will perfect it.
