Stand Your Ground

Boldness comes from being with Christ. He empowers the righteous to do the right thing the right way. It is out of your intimacy with the Almighty that you are empowered to engage the enemy and endure hardships. Indeed, the fruit of great challenges is great rewards. So stand your ground for God, and do not give in to fear and doubt. If you rely on yourself, you will fail, but you will succeed if you rely on the Lord.

Self-reliance crumbles when circumstances become grim. People without God as their guide will run away in fear, but the righteous take heart and hold onto heaven’s inheritance. They are bold and remain strong because they see their Savior Jesus as the initiator and completer of the cause. However, as you remain poised in prayer to God, take the time to grow your leadership and give others the resources they need to succeed.

Followers need a leader who is not caught up in self-preservation but captivated by Christ. A bold leader is not preoccupied with an exit strategy. Instead, they are focused on how to process problems with creative solutions. A culture of confidence takes route when everyone is committed to thriving in excellence, not just surviving in mediocrity. Fears see failure behind every challenge, but faith sees opportunity rise out of anguish.

Therefore, stand your ground with God. The enemy has no authority over you, especially your emotions. He is a phantom pursuit. Stay rooted in righteous acts with a hopeful attitude, and Almighty God will bless your efforts. You are bold when you have been with Jesus (Acts 4:13).
