WINNING

“Run to win!” 1Co 9:24 NLT

In the Roman Empire athletes stripped down to a simple loincloth so that nothing prevented them from running their best race. Referring to it, Paul writes: “Don’t you realize that in a race everyone runs, but only one person gets the prize? So run to win! All athletes are disciplined in their training. They do it to win a prize that will fade away, but we do it for an eternal prize. So I run with purpose in every step” (vv. 24-26 NLT). How about you? Do you just want the fun of being in the race, or are you running to win? To succeed at being what God has redeemed and called you to be, you’ll have to stop doing certain things, even enjoyable things, and begin doing other things that support your goals and help you to fulfill your God-ordained purpose. Sometimes this will mean saying no to well-intentioned people who try to involve you in things that steal your time and produce the wrong results. It will also mean dealing with “the sin that so easily entangles” (Heb 12:1 NIV). When God says something is wrong, it’s wrong! You don’t need to rationalize, make excuses or feel sorry for yourself. You just need to agree, ask His forgiveness and get it out of your life. Who gets the prize? Those who pay the price! Paul knew he couldn’t win the race without first bringing his body, mind and emotions under the control of God’s Spirit. The same goes for you. And you can’t expect somebody else to make you do what’s right; you must listen to what God’s saying to you, and take action.

CONFIDENCE

“Who told you…you were naked?” Ge 3:11 NKJV

It’s impossible to feel confident when you’re telling yourself you’re not good enough and that you’ll never amount to anything. One pastor says: “After Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit, they hid. God came to them and said, ‘Where are you?’ They said, ‘We’re hiding because we’re naked.’ I love how God answered…‘Who told you…you were naked?’ In other words, ‘Who told you there was something wrong with you?’ God immediately knew the Enemy had been talking to them. And God’s saying to you today, ‘Who told you …you don’t have what it takes to succeed…that the best grades you can make are C’s… that you’re not attractive enough to succeed in your relationships…or talented enough to flourish in your career…or that your marriage isn’t going to last? Those are lies from the Enemy. God said, ‘No good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly’ (Ps 84:11 NKJV); ‘Delight yourself…in the Lord, and He shall give you the desires of your heart’ (Ps 37:4 NKJV). The potential is inside you…and it doesn’t change because you don’t believe it, or because you’ve been through negative experiences. ‘The gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable’ (Ro 11:29 NKJV). He’s never going to take back the potential He poured into you…or say, ‘I’m tired of dealing with you…you’ve failed too often and made too many mistakes. Give Me back My gifts.’ No…His calling on your life will be with you till the day you leave this earth, but it’s up to you to…tap into it.” When the Enemy starts chipping away at your confidence, take authority over him in Jesus’ Name; resist him and he will flee (See Jas 4:7).

“The fruit of righteousness will be…confidence.” Isa 32:17 NIV

Never mistake competence for confidence; one is ability-based, the other comes from knowing who you are in Christ; that you’re “complete in him” (1Jn 2:5 NIV). One author says: “The first thing I learned about confidence, was I didn’t possess it…I had a thin glaze of arrogance covering a core of fear. All those years of being a success in the eyes of the world left me deathly afraid of failure. Worldly success requires taking risks beyond the comfort zones of previous accomplishments. Spiritual success requires letting go of outcomes and allowing God to move on your behalf. I was so afraid of failure…I never found success in it either…the false confidence I’d known was built on my own abilities… However if you suddenly find a lump in your breast, or your spouse says he never loved you, or you get fired from your job, or your child is seriously ill, every tactic you’ve ever employed and every skill you’ve ever mastered will get you nowhere…The Bible says, ‘Have a sane estimate of your [abilities]’ (Ro 12:4 PHPS)…once you realize you aren’t perfect…you can exhale and start the task of being good enough…When your confidence stems from knowing the Almighty, unchanging One, you cannot be shaken by change or circumstances. You…exude competence, peace, contentment, and fortitude.” Isn’t it time you got out from under the pressure of acting like God and having all the answers? “We have different gifts, according to the grace given us” (Ro 12:6 NIV). When you use your gift to glorify God, you’re doing what He intended you to do.
