Developing Godfidence as a Leader

Godfidence is a complete reliance and trust in God's planned purpose for your life and his ability to achieve the mission and goals that are set before us. As leaders, faith is critical to achieving any mission or goal you feel called to. Godfidence is a sole dependence on God's power and strength and assurance that God is able in spite of your inability. This type of confidence is not void of doubts and fears, nor does it require that you have it all together, it exists in the midst of uncertainties, personal limitations, and difficult circumstances.

Here are four truths that you can meditate on to develop your Godfidence as a leader:

The first is, “I am saved and redeemed by Jesus alone.” You know what that means, achievements and performance can’t save you. You can't get more valuable or lose your value based upon anything you do because Ephesians 1:7 tells us “In him we have redemption through His blood.”

Secondly, “I am created by God of the Universe.” Think about that, the God that made everything, all the plants and the stars, made you too. Isaiah 45:12 says “It is I who made the earth and created man upon it. I stretched out the heavens with my hand and I ordained all their hosts.”

Thirdly, “I am adopted into God’s family.” Ephesians 1:5 says God decided to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do and it gave him great delight.”

Fourthly, “I am alive to glorify God”. That is a great truth, so simple, yet so powerful. Isaiah 43:7 says everyone who is called by my name, for I created them for my glory whom I formed and made.

We know that this is our purpose in life, in whatever specific avenue which is called our calling that is specific to us. We know overarchingly that every single human’s purpose is to glorify God which is why we were created. We were created to operate in a Godfident state. Meditate on these truths and lead on!
