| WHAT'S STOPPING YOU? FEAR OF SUCCESS! (3) |
| 'That I may cause those who love Me to inherit wealth, that I may fill their treasuries.' Proverbs 8:21 |
| If
you want to overcome the fear of success and position yourself to be a
blessing to others: 1) Confront your fear head-on. God's Word says that
He wants you to succeed (Joshua 1:9). The question is, are you ready to
act on His Word? Do you believe others are entitled to success but not
you? Do you feel like it's okay for you to succeed to a certain extent,
but anything beyond that would be displeasing to God? You must confront
these unscriptural beliefs! 2) Determine the source of any erroneous
beliefs you may harbour regarding your worthiness. Here are some areas
you should focus on: rejection by your loved ones; comparisons to
others; stereotypes and media images; words of inferiority and rejection
that play in your mind like a broken record. Your perception of your
worthiness will play a major role in how much you allow yourself to
achieve in life, so change your opinion of yourself! Line up what you
believe and say about yourself with what God says about you: '...Do not
be afraid, for I have ransomed you. I have called you by name; you are
Mine...you are precious to Me. You are honoured, and I love you. Do not
be afraid, for I am with you...' (Isaiah 43:1, 4-5 NLT). Recognise your
self-sabotaging behaviours and commit to putting a stop to them. And
stop waiting for 'a better opportunity', or until 'the time is right'.
God says, 'I am with you.' So trust Him with the timing and
circumstances and move forward with confidence. |
