TOPIC: Unhealthy Self Esteem (II) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 4 October 2021)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 12: 1-21; Mark 3; Luke 6

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 2:4-10 (KJV)

4 To whom coming, as unto a living stone, disallowed indeed of men, but chosen of God, and precious,

5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

6 Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be confounded.

7 Unto you therefore which believe he is precious: but unto them which be disobedient, the stone which the builders disallowed, the same is made the head of the corner,

8 And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed.

9 But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;

10 Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.

MEMORY VERSE: “Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.” – 1 Peter 2:10

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
Loving starts with loving God and loving yourself. If you don’t love and value yourself, nobody will. You may end up not loving anyone else. Love yourself and love others!

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
THE POWER OF THE ALMIGHTY SHALL BREAK AND DESTROY EVERY LIE OF THE ENEMY PREVENTING YOU FROM REALISING YOUR EXALTED POSITION IN CHRIST, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

The MESSAGE:

Unhealthy self-esteem could be as a result of many factors. It could arise from an overrating as well as underrating of oneself, consciously or unconsciously. Evaluating yourself from a proud, exalted and arrogant perspective is as dangerous as someone who does the same from a timid and insecure disposition. Timidity is not humility. Pride is abomination before God. Do you look down on others and consider yourself to be better than them? Do you engage in unhealthy comparison with another person? It is not wise!

Remember Ahab’s feelings towards Naboth and his vineyard? Unhealthy emotions, greed and covetousness! Though a king and highly placed, yet he desired the humble property of his subject. Remember the boastful Pharisee at the place of prayer, who considered himself to be a better person than the Publican (Luke 18:9-14). Thanks to God who looks inwardly, and not outwardly as man does (1 Samuel 16:7).

Gideon had a poor self-esteem. He didn’t see what could qualify him for a deliverer of his people. But God saw in him, “a mighty man of valour” (Judges 6:6-16). The same happened to Moses, who, at the time of his call, gave God so many excuses for his inability to undertake the divine assignment. God gave him every counter reason to convince and show him that he is not alone (Exodus 3:1-12).

Beloved, you need to look beyond your painful past or present prevailing circumstances. This is possibly the reason for your timidity and insecurity, even that feeling of inadequacy and inferiority. It is not inhuman to fail, but it is tragic to remain a failure! Unhealthy self-esteem will rob you of opportunities and stop you from manifesting in your God-given potential and abilities. Run from self-deception!

Do you suffer from bad health, which makes you think you are not fit to live and move freely among others? You are wrong! God has the final say over your life, if only you can believe Him.

Your problems do not and should not define or determine your personality. Your situations are mere occurrences and all shall pass away with God on your side. Don’t allow the enemy to feed you with food of gradual self-destruction (John 8:44). God is in charge of your case!

Joshua would have been sore afraid to step into the shoes of Moses as the next leader of the Israelites. But God gave His word, to be with him always. Just like Moses and Gideon, he went in that might and became an achiever to the glory of God (Joshua 1:9).

Drop the scars of abuses, regrets, failures, unfulfilled ambitions, internal conflicts, unexplainable battles, and other problems untold. Start to see and access your divine position. You are seated in Christ; that makes you an overcomer!

PRAYER POINTS:
