---COMPLETE CONFIDENCE ~~ FAITH IN JEHOVAH GOD~

--"I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
---(Philippians 1:4-6/ NIV)--

----All around me I see people who are leaders. Some are in the corporate realm, managing large organizations. Some stand at the front of classrooms, teaching with authority. Some oversee jobsites, coordinating multiple contractors. Some step into a surgical suite and save a life. Some walk onto a factory floor and ensure that a product comes off the assembly line. Some are at home, guiding children toward maturity and taking care of their family’s needs. All of these roles require preparation, coordination, and responsibility. But when it comes to our faith, and someone asks, “Could you host a small group?” we lose our confidence and say, “Sorry, I’m not qualified.”

*** I’d like to invite you to ask the Holy Spirit to help you in this area. He will show you how to use the confidence you exhibit in the world to become a person of faith who is able to invite someone toward the transforming power of God. [**We must remember, our faith is in God, not in (so-called) 'faith teachers'. Beware of these people.**]

--THINK ABOUT IT
The work of the gospel is a partnership, and the Lord has promised to give you the skill and confidence to do your part. Think about the leadership skills you use in the world and how you might use those skills to advance the Lord’s purposes in the earth.

PRAYER
--"Heavenly Father, You have promised to equip me and give me the grace and confidence I need to invite others toward faith in You. Open my eyes, silence my fears, and encourage my heart to walk into opportunities to extend Your Kingdom. In Jesus’ name, amen."
Blessings,
