Tips On How To Break The Limiting Influence Of Self-Doubt

Hello Dear Believer,

Thank you for subscribing to the Believers Business Class newsletter.

The limiting clutch of self-doubt has kept many great individuals from reaching their full potential and daring to take on the beautiful ideas that God has put in their hearts.

Bright destinies have been crippled and made dormant. Ideas have been buried because of its persistent bullying.

Dear believer, Apostle Paul speaking in the book of Philippians 4:13, said: I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

In other words, your ability to produce results is dependent on a divine enablement and strength which is Christ.

Apostle Paul's positive outlook regarding his abilities and a perfect understanding of the potent force backing him were responsible for his many accomplishments.

Philemon 1:6 says: That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. (KJV)

In other words, your effectiveness in communicating and unleashing your potential is tied to your perception of yourself, and the recognition of your abilities and skills.

The word acknowledging in that verse means;

• To fully discern.
• To recognise.
• To be fully acquainted.

1. Make a list of your abilities, skills, and gifts then highlight how they can be used to help your organisation or the people around you. It doesn't matter how insignificant they may seem (1 John 4:4).

2. Highlight and celebrate your little wins. It could be when someone complimented you or when you got your first job etc. Even waking up, doing your chores and helping others, are wins.

A top US Navy Seal Commander once said: If you want to change the world, start by getting up and making your bed.

Celebrating your little wins will help boost your confidence and perception of yourself and your abilities (Psalm 18:29).

3. Celebrate your skills and abilities by thanking God for trusting you enough to make a capital investment in you.

You have to understand that God is a good businessman and he does not invest in businesses that will not bring profit.

He does not sponsor flops, so if he put those gifts in you, he knows what he is doing (2 Corinthians 2:14).

4. Pray to God and ask him to show you how you can use the gifts he put inside of you to bless your organisation and the people around you. Your gift is not for you alone. (John 6:11).

5. See yourself the way God sees you by studying the scriptures to acquaint yourself with what God has said about you (Genesis 1:31, 1 Peter 2:9).

6. Constantly vocalise God's thoughts about you whenever those limiting thoughts threaten to overthrow your mind (Hebrews 10:23).

7. Visualise yourself fully unleashing the potential God has put inside you, and its positive impact on your organisation and the people around you (Genesis 15:5).

8. Stay around lifters who will encourage you to improve yourself. (Psalm 1).

9. Stop trying to be like others. Quit competing and comparing yourself with others. (2 Corinthians 10:12).

10. Show mercy. Make a conscious effort to sow an act of kindness into the universe daily by helping people who are in any kind of need. (Proverbs 19:17).

11. Take action. Step out and confidently take on those tasks, pursue that dream and build that idea. (James 1:22-25).

I pray that every limitation to your advancement, breakthrough and progress ends now in the name of Jesus. Amen!
