Doubt your doubt

Have you ever noticed that every time you decide to take a bold step, do something unique to improve yourself or situation, you begin to second-guess yourself?. You doubt if you have heard from God or you are just following your imagination; if for any reason you come across challenges you tell yourself you probably were biting more than you can chew. So when this happens what do you do? Do you give in to your doubts and abort your God-given idea? Do you keep at it, continually watering it with prayer in faith? Do you always turn around every time there is an obstacle in the way? I understand there are times we make a wrong decision and we have to turn around to regroup, however, I am talking about instances when you are double sure and yet you chicken out because of challenges. You have to learn to doubt your doubt.

 

The story of a young man who was facing a not too pleasant situation; he had heard about the God of Israel and the mighty works in the past: Judges 6:12-16 KJV

¹²And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.

 ¹³And Gideon said unto him, Oh my Lord, if the LORD be with us, why then is all this befallen us? and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the LORD bring us up from Egypt? but now the LORD hath forsaken us, and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

 ¹⁴And the LORD looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?

 ¹⁵And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel? behold, my family is poor in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.

 ¹⁶And the LORD said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.

 

God does not use your stature or status to determine where He wants to take you to or what He wants to use you for. When He has promised, do not look at your situation to wonder where or how He would do what He has promised. That is why you have to hold on to the word of God and doubt every doubt that comes your way.

 

Perhaps you have purposed to improve yourself academically and you have the admission letter but not the money, start a business, learn a trade, invest into your future, improve your marriage relationship, serve God better, spend more time with your family, whatever decision you have made lately, go for it. Yes, it is now mor than ever that the negatives forces will rear their heads to discourage you. Do not allow the enemy to sow the seed of doubt into your heart. Remember his sole ministry is to steal, kill and destroy. The first step to carrying this out is to have you doubt what God has promised or spoken to you about.

 

Like the word of God came to Gideon; "Go in this thy might"! Doubt every voice that makes you question the feasibility and possibility of what God has said to you. You need to doubt your doubts so you can arrive at the place of your destiny!!!

 

Have a prosperous and blessed week:)
