“God-confidence places reliance on God’s grace, and grace is God’s doing. His grace is all the qualifications you will ever need to fulfil your God-given opportunities.”

2 Chronicles 15:7
But as for you, be strong and do not give up, for your work will be rewarded.

Joe stepped into the open-plan office space of his new company. It was only his second day on the job. Though he was very grateful for the opportunity and knew he was qualified, he lacked confidence. His desk was situated three-quarters of the way across the large room. He had to pass at least four other workstations to get to his chair. Though one person gave him a fleeting welcome wave, every head was down, already engrossed in the activities of the new day. Even so, Joe felt as though every eye was fixed on him. Quickly, he crossed the floor to his desk and sat down.

Confidence is an elusive virtue. Sometimes it flows with unabated gush, yet sometimes it lurks in the recesses of one’s soul like a shy mouse afraid of the light of morning. One thing I have learnt over the years is that self-confidence is fleeting, because self-confidence puts confidence in self – the ego. To be securely confident, I need to not be self-confident but God-confident. God-confidence places reliance on God’s grace, and grace is God’s doing. His grace is all the qualifications you will ever need to fulfil your God-given opportunities.

So, don’t throw away your confidence, it will be richly rewarded. You need to persevere at every new opportunity so that when you have done what God has called you to do you will receive the fulfilment of all he has promised you. As Corrie Ten Boom said, “I believe that God delights to use his children in the fulfilment of his plans for the world. I am sure he loves to use small people to do great things.”

God-tracking is revelling in his rich grace for your confidence.

Don’t Give Up, Look Up & Pray

“I choose not throw away my confidence but persevere in the promises of your word to me.”

“My Lord, I realise now that I can only be confident in your purposes and your grace for my life. Therefore, I want to surrender every aspect of my life to you today: my work, my relationships, my church life, my sports, my recreation and my most private life. I put my confidence in God and not self, believing that you have promised to make me a success in all that I do. I choose not throw away my confidence but to persevere in the promises of your word to me. For your glory, Lord. Amen.”

“The Lord has seen your oppression and heard your cries. He knows! And my God will meet your needs because he loves you.”

Exodus 3:7
And the Lord said: “I have surely seen the oppression of My people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.

God promised Abraham that his descendants would occupy a land flowing with milk and honey. Abraham had settled in Canaan as a foreigner – the Hebrew. When drought hit the land, his grandson, Jacob moved the family to Egypt. While Jacob’s son, Joseph, reigned in Egypt under the Pharaoh the Hebrews enjoyed prosperity. However, after Joseph died, Abraham’s children came under intense oppression. Life was tough, to say the least. Men slaved day and night for 7 days a week. Women and children were abused. But we read, “The Lord said: ‘I have surely seen the oppression of my people who are in Egypt, and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters, for I know their sorrows.’”

The Lord knows every detail of what you are facing today. He is aware of your challenges and strife. He sees your misery and anguish. He hears your prayers and your cries for help. Your God is concerned for your well-being and peace. He will intervene.

The Israelites were under slavery for 400 years. That may seem a very long time to us. But, I believe, even during those years, their loving God saw their plight and guarded them through their troubles. He knew his people. He knew what they faced. I believe, that if we were to hear the stories of individual men and women during this time we would be astounded at the mercy, grace and care of their Lord Yehovah. And then came Moses.

Stand sure. Don’t give up, look up. Your help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Cast your cares on him because he cares for you. The Lord has seen your oppression and heard your cries. He knows! And my God will meet your needs because he loves you.

God-tracking is knowing he knows.

So, don’t give up, look up & pray!

“I believe that you will resolve this conflict and rescue me from this oppression.”

“Dear Lord, I don’t know how long I can go on. And yet, I know you know my plight. I know you are aware of my situation. So, dear Lord, I rest in the knowledge of your knowledge and acknowledge you in every situation I face. You are supreme. You are sovereign and mighty. I believe that you will resolve this conflict and rescue me from this oppression. I cast all my cares on you because I know you care for me. Amen.”

“Who knows the impact that one dear soul may have on the world because of your few words of encouragement.”

Hebrews 10:24
And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works.

Shortly after the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, we read in Acts that the early believers sold property to help feed the poor. At this time, we read that a Levite called Joses sold land and brought the proceeds to the apostles to be distributed. This was a commendable act since that land would have been Joses’s security and providence for his old age, yet he chose to give it all up for the sake of helping the needy. What an encouraging act. In fact, Joses was so much of an encourager that his name was changed to Barnabas, which means son of encouragement. Later we read how Barnabas took Paul under his wing when he was rejected by the other disciples because Paul had been a persecutor of the Christians. Barnabas encouraged Paul to stay strong and encouraged the other believers to accept him. Barnabas went on to be a travel companion with Apostle Paul, preaching the gospel across Asia Minor.

Years back when I was studying for the ministry, I endured a spiritual burnout and had a crisis of faith. At the time I was attending a large church in Johannesburg, South Africa. The pastor was a gentle yet firm man. Because of my experience, I had been appointed to a position of leadership in the church, yet I was in rebellion. Without criticism or rejection, my pastor took me under his wing. He lavished me with counsel and prayer. Never did he condemn my folly or deny me opportunity. In fact, I was promoted to music director of the church. I can only believe that he had insight into God’s call on my life and faith that God would pull me through my rebellion. And he did.

Is there someone in your life who you know is called of God but is suffering a crisis of faith at this time? Do you believe that God has a plan to use him/her mightily for the Kingdom yet he/she can’t see the wood for the trees, so to speak? May I encourage you to be an encourager and encourage that person to not give up but look up and trust God’s plan for their lives. Who knows the impact that one dear soul may have on the world because of your few words of encouragement?

Encourage believers in their walk with Christ. Encourage nonbelievers to walk with Christ.

SO, DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

“Only you know the lives that will be changed for the good, for good by my words of encouragement.”

“Dear God, I see the potential in so many people, yet I lack the courage to encourage them to flow in their full potential. Help me to find the words and valour to speak into their lives with love, grace and humility. I take this moment to pray for them that you will open the door of opportunity to them and provide their every need to flourish in your purposes for their lives. Lord, I believe I have the ministry of encouragement. Help me to boldly serve you in this calling. Only you know the lives that will be changed for the good, for good by my few words of encouragement. Amen.”

HE IS YOUR HELPER, TOO

“Moses discovered, when he led the Israelites to the shores of the Promised Land, that the Lord God was the One alongside him all the way, helping him do what he could not do by his own ability. So is the Lord your Helper, too.”

Psalm 54:4
Behold, God is my helper; the Lord is the upholder of my life

Moses was already an old man when he experienced the Lord’s call to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian captivity. He was watching over his father-in-law’s sheep one day when the Angel of the Lord appeared to him in a burning bush. “I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people out of Egypt,” he said. Moses was flabbergasted at the call of God for such an auspicious task. He resisted the call of God by saying, “Oh, my Lord, I am not eloquent, either in the past or since you have spoken to your servant, but I am slow of speech and of tongue. Oh, my Lord, please send someone else.” In reply, God said, “I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.” Moses obeyed the call of God and, with God’s help, went on to become one of the greatest leaders and prophets Israel was to ever know.

Do you sense the call of God on your life but don’t feel qualified to take it on? Are you facing a new task at work or a new role in a new job but feel intimidated by the learning curve? Perhaps you are working hard at school, college or university but are battling to take it all in. Whatever you may be facing today; whatever is intimidating you; whatever it is you feel unqualified to do, as Moses did, rest assured in the knowledge that the Lord your God is your helper. He who is omniscient and omnipotent will be your strength and your help in your time of need.

Jesus promised to send the Holy Spirit after his return to the Father. He said, “And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever.” If you know Jesus as Lord and Saviour, the Holy Spirit is in you and with you in every scope of life. The Greek word used to describe him in the New Testament is paraclete, which means advocate or counsellor, the one alongside. Moses discovered, when he led the Israelites to the shores of the Promised Land, that the Lord God was the One alongside him all the way, helping him do what he could not do by his own ability. So is the Lord your Helper, too.

God-tracking is leaning on God’s help for everything

Dear Lord, I receive your help now, gladly. Help me to rest in your strength

“Dear Lord, I feel like I’m drowning. I’m faced with such a workload that I feel I can’t cope. Sometimes I feel I just don’t possess the skill set to do this thing. I need help! You, O Lord, are my helper. Your Holy Spirit is with me – alongside me – in everything. So, I turn to you now and cry out for your help! Help me to work this out. Help me to get this job done. Help me to overcome these difficulties. Dear Lord, I receive your help now, gladly. Help me to rest in your strength. Amen.”
