TOPIC: Unhealthy Self Esteem (III) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 5 October 2021)

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Matthew 5-7

FIRE SCRIPTURE: 1 Peter 2:4-10

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: “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.” – Ephesians 2:10

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
If you don’t value yourself, you are likely to be attracted to people who do not value you either. It is the way you talk to yourself that creates your reality.

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

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
TODAY, THE LORD SHALL DELIVER YOU FROM EVERY INTERNAL BONDAGE, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

The MESSAGE:

Jesus never struggled with His identity, neither with self-esteem. The book of John has the highest record of “I am”. A divine assertion of His Godhead: “I am the Light, I am the Good Shepherd, I am the Way, the Truth and the Life, I am the Bread of Life, I am the Resurrection and Life” and so on. He declared that He is from above and that He is with the Father. He prayed for believers in John 17 that we should be one as He and His Father are one. This means that our divine original can only be found and defined through Christ. Any attempt to undermine this divine identity creates emptiness in your personality, which is the reason for the unhealthy self-esteem.

Wallowing in unhealthy self-esteem will bring a lot of negative things into a Christian life. These include hypersensitivity to criticism, unstable moods, fear of being unaccepted, inferiority or superiority complex, perfectionist attitude, unstable moods, dysfunctional thinking, negative comparison, timid or arrogant look and many more.

Healthy self-esteem is being confident in the Lord and not only in yourself, which amounts to pride. Your value and your self-worth are determined by your identity in Christ. The apostle Paul would always affirm his confidence in the Lord. He was never ashamed to tell of his past and how much the Lord had forgiven him and had given him grace to preach the gospel to the Gentiles. His boasting is not in his flesh or abilities. Rather, he often glorified God even in his infirmities. His words, “I am what I am by the grace of God”. “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13). In spite of his past achievements and persecution of Christians, he did not give in to unhealthy self-esteem. Rather, he stood tall and bold to defend his faith to the end.

Your total health is in danger if you harbour unhealthy self-esteem. It damages your relationship with God and man. It is time you run out of your shell and break new grounds in life. Don’t allow failure and discouragement to stop your progress. Throw away the ashes of unprofitable relationships, bitterness anger, resentment and revenge and embrace a godly spirit, a new heart. Jesus is knocking, open the door of your heart and let Him in. There, your healing and deliverance begins!

PRAYER POINTS:

I enter into my divine agenda, by the power in the blood of Jesus, in the name of Jesus.

Lying spirits depart from my life by fire, in the name of Jesus.

Wherever I have missed my divine roadmap, O God, arise and reroute me, in the name of Jesus.
Where is the Lord God of Elijah? Arise, purge and fine tune my life with Your fire, in the name of Jesus.
