6 Be
strong and of good courage, don’t be afraid, nor be scared of them: for
Yahweh your God, he it is who does go with you; he will not fail you,
nor forsake you. (NIV)
WHAT IS COURAGE?
Courage is the inner strength that enables you to stand against all odds at all cost with a determination to reach your goal.
Satan brings negative circumstances your way so as to discourage you, his aim is to reduce your courage in order to stop you from taking steps towards your goal in life.
Most people that are stagnated today
are simply victims of discouragement. This is why you must know how to
keep boosting your courage or to keep encouraging yourself in the Lord.
A time came in the life of David when he would have been overtaken by discouragement but he encouraged himself in the Lord; he boosted his courage. As a result, he was strengthened to pursue the enemy and recover all that he and his men had lost (1 Samuel 30:1-18).
Now, the foremost way to boost your courage is by making bold declarations. Jesus said, “…Whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith” (Mark 11:23).
That means, no matter the mountain you are faced with, if you will make
bold declarations and refuse to be discouraged in your heart, you shall
have whatsoever you say.
You have to learn how to make your
boast in Lord. Every proper Christian is a boaster, not in himself but
in the Lord. Rather than bemoan your situation, begin to declare what
you believe your God can do for you.
As you do that, you will discover that
strength is infused into your hands and feet and you will begin to
achieve what the devil said you won’t be able to achieve.
Your words are the strength of your
life. If you cannot speak then you will remain discouraged and stranded.
Never be tired of charging yourself up with the word of God. In the
midst of the hottest battle, keep speaking. For your information, the
greatest battles of life are first won with words before they are won in
the physical.
This day will the Lord deliver you into
my hand and I will kill you, and take your head from you; and I will
give the carcases of the host of the Philistines to the fowls of the
air, and to the wild beasts of the earth”
(1 Sam 17:44-47). If you check those scriptures you will discover that David spoke much more than Goliath and he also spoke the last word.
After that, he ran towards the giant
and killed him. So, when Satan begins to speak negative words to you, he
tells you, “You can never make it again”, reply him immediately with
words of faith.
As you make your boast in the Lord with
strong declarations, not only are you strengthened to move forward, the
enemy is driven back and God arises to confirm what you say.
I inspired you to boost your courage in
Christ, meditate in the word, and say to your self that you can
overcome from the past and of the failures you have encountered in
life.
And you are blessed as you boost your courage today.
