If I don’t believe in my own self (my potential, my skills, my talents and so on) then who else is supposed to believe in me. If I am always belittling myself and saying that I can’t make it, or if I am forever saying that I can’t do something, then how am I going to make it. Without believing in myself, it is impossible!

So many people put themselves down, they look themselves in the mirror and tell themselves that they will never be happy, or succeed. They seem to convince themselves that they will never accomplish anything in life. If with your own mouth you put yourself down, then imagine what others will say about you.

If you don’t see value in yourself, how do you expect others to see the value in you? You need to tell yourself good things! Words have power and can either give life or kill.

If you are always saying bad things about yourself then two things will end up happening:
1. The evil spirits will hear your words and will make sure that you never conquer anything
2. You will only be taking steps backwards

Use your mouth in a positive manner, to say good things and bless yourself. Anything else will only be dragging you down. Your mouth needs to bring blessings upon yourself and not curses. I tell you… First, believe in God, but also believe in yourself. If you don’t believe in God then you will never believe in yourself. But if you don’t believe in yourself, you will never conquer anything.

May the God of the Bible bless you!
