A friend of mine who is a servant of God in the United States was approached by the school teacher of his child who asked,‘ ‘Please sir, can you find a way of reducing your daughter's confidence in you?'’ The man of God was surprised and asked why? The teacher replied that he felt the extent of his daughter's confidence in him might be disastrous because if he fails to meet those expectations, the girl would be so deeply disappointed and there is no telling what she might do. The preacher asked the teacher to further explain what he meant.
The teacher explained that the girl had actually been going around boasting that if anyone dies, there is no need to worry; they should just send for her dad and he would pray for the dead person to come back to life. The girl actually had so much confidence in her father that she went around boasting about him. So the teacher came to warn the father because he felt if he fell short of the expectation, the might be permanently affected. The man of God replied that his girl had believed rightly that he could do anything by God. He walked over to his daughter and further encouraged her, ...to believe in God, believe also in me: Jn. 14:1. Faith is the confidence and assurance in a person's ability and willingness to do a thing. It is amazing that some children of the Creator of heaven and earth do not have as much faith in Him as this little girl had in her dad. Have faith in God, His Word and His ability. Believe that He can do what He says, and there is nothing greater than His Word. Stand on His Word and you will see mountains move for you. After having faith in God, also have faith in yourself. Have faith in the prayers you pray; believe that your own prayers also can command results. Until you believe in God and also in yourself, there is no prophecy that can be fulfilled in your life. Believe the message and also the messengers that God sends to you so that you shall prosper.
You have the honour of being God's child and He, your Father. Whatever God is, is what you are here on earth. Hence, be confident when you come before Him in full assurance of faith and do not be like a beast that perishes because it does not understand who it is. ‘‘Come boldly’’ is what the Word of God says; anything short of such confidence is borne out of ignorance which can bring even a believer to destruction. It is written, my people perish for lack of knowledge. So child of God have faith in your Father and be confident always about Him.
Prayer/Action
* Ask God to help you keep your faith in Him in all situation.
* Rebuke and renounce everything that could make you doubt God.
* Lift up your face to heaven and say to God, “Oh Lord, I believe in You!”
