| Researchers
conducted an experiment in which frogs were placed in separate glass
jars covered with lids to prevent them from escaping. At first the frogs
kept jumping, trying to escape, but each time they hit their heads on
the lid. After thirty days of doing this, something amazing happened.
When the lids were removed from the jars, the frogs never jumped out
even though they could easily have done so. Why? Because they had formed
a belief system that the top of the jar was as high as they could
go-their limiting belief system kept them trapped in the jar! The
Israelites did that too: 'Again and again they...limited the Holy One of
Israel. They did not remember His power...' (vv. 41-42 NKJV). Are you
holding on to limiting belief systems, even though they are no longer
true and are sabotaging your future? 'I'm too young, too old, I'm a
woman, I'm the wrong nationality, I don't have the education, I don't
have the talent, I don't have the connections, I failed too badly, etc.'
Fear of success stems from: 1) Fear of not being worthy of success. 2)
Fear of being unable to meet the expectations and fulfil the
responsibilities that accompany success. 3) Fear of being rejected by
those unhappy about your success. 4) Fear of losing control of normal,
private life. 5) Fear of saying no to friends and family who feel
entitled to control you. Get rid of your limiting belief systems! Not
only will God give you success, He will give you the skill and strength
to handle it. |
