YOU'VE GOT WHAT IT TAKES

• Bible Scripture

[Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the Lord will personally go ahead of you. He will be with you; he will neither fail you nor abandon you.]

~Deuteronomy 31:8.

• Many people usually get scared or worried because of some certain things. Yes, no one knows what the future holds, but God does because he sees the end from the beginning.

• Oftentimes we get worried about how things are going to go, that we start to lose faith. When we are called to do something for God, he knows that we are the ones meant for the task because he chose us. And before you were conceived, he had already seen what would have become of you.

• And so, he has given us the tools and all that we require for the journey. You need not worry about the process or how it's going to go. Everything will turn out just fine because you've got God.

• Let go of all the doubt, fear, and worries. Let go of the lies that tells that you can't do it, or that you are not qualified to do it because you are, the one who sent you will go before you and help you accomplish the task.

• You feel that you aren't worth it or that you aren't capable or that you are incompetent. Your emotions don't define you. We get caught up in all of these negative thoughts and tend to forget that as believers through God all things are possible.

You say you don't have the skills or that you aren't talented enough but God doesn't look at all those things. There's a difference between being talented and being called.

• Because when you look at it, don't you think it's a big honor for God to use you? Isn't it a big honor for God to call you? Because you are special to him, and he considers you worthy, you've got to start looking through the lens of God than looking through the lens of your flaws or any other thing. If he thought you were incapable or felt you weren't up to the task, will he have called you?

• Everyone is destined for greatness and God uses anyone irrespective of what tribe, ethics, or place you originate from. He uses anyone irrespective of what you might have done in the past, he has renewed you and refined you into being just like him. The bible says, “let the Spirit renew your thoughts and attitudes.”

Ephesians 4:23

• You've got the spirit living inside you, and so you've got what it takes. So don't try to belittle or look down on yourself in any way. And don't try to compare your story with other people's story because their story is not yours and God has already planned out everyone's life long ago.

For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

Ephesians 2:10 NLT.

• No matter how far the journey or process can be, remember he is always with you to guide you and lead you, he only needs your trust, and then you just leave the rest to him and do not lean on your understanding. so, the question now is: Do you trust him?

Have faith in him that he's got you until the end.

• Let's take a look at some people in the bible God used, God went before them and in the end they were victorious: God used Moses to bring the Israelites out of Egypt, the incident of the wall of Jericho collapsing where God used Joshua, the incident of David destroying Goliath and so on.......

• Therefore, if there's anything he has told you to do for him, don't look at how it's going to go, but trust that he is in total control. He has filled you with his spirit, now you've got the audacity and courage. Start to work in that consciousness, and then you can freely go out to the open world knowing that you've got this.

• Questions to consider: Are there areas in your life you are doubting your competencies and skills? Are there areas in your life you feel so worried about?

• Affirmation

If he is the one who tells me or sends me to do something, I don't have to be worried about the process or how it will go.

I have faith, and I'll trust in God knowing that I am backed up

I have all the tools and all I require for the journey

I don't have to be without flaws or to be perfect to be used

I'll fulfill every task of the lord, for if he has already seen the end from the beginning and knows that it has already been done

Even though it hasn't manifested in the presence, it will later manifest in the future at the right time.

The Holy Spirit is always there to guide me every step of the way, so I say YES to the will of God, nudges and plans he has for my life

I won't be fretted, I won't doubt, I won't be shaken, and I won't be worried.
