Topic : Conquering Inferiority Complex By Self Confidence. S.C Can Be Gained By Knowledge, Hard Work And Having Faith In God.
1 Samuel 17: 26. Who is this uncircumcised Philistine who defies the armies of the living God??
Self confidence is the source of strength and the secret of success. Inferiority complex is the chief enemy of self confidence. This inferiority complex saps one's energy, creates serious doubts about one's strength and capacity and renders one diffident, over cautious, backward and inactive. Unless one overcomes inferiority complex, it will not be possible to acquire self confidence.
The best example in the Bible on the inferiority complex is the story of the mighty king Saul and his big army who suddenly became powerless, weak and surrounded by inferiority complex and short of self confidence and fear, because of disobedience to God. They kept staring at the situation doubting their abilities till David the ordinary shepherd boy with high in "self confidence" because of the Lord within him has conquered the mountain of Goliath with faith and action.
So, It is most certain and definitely possible to get over the inferiority complex, no matter how old or deep rooted it is. All you need to master it is a keen desire to do so and the faith and positive attitude to attempt without fearing and being inferior.
The second important requirement is knowledge.........
So dear beloved, knowledge is strength, Knowledge is power. Once we master the knowledge on the subject, inferiority will vanish instantly.
We must face life situations, trials and setbacks with confidence.
When we analyse the nature, cause and growth of inferiority complex within us, we see that it revolves around fear of the criticism, disapproval and judgement of other people. This also crops up and inferiority develops in many cases by comparing our abilities, gifts, talents, status, position with others who are much better off than us.
To avoid this complex, with our own abilities we must strive to do our best without ever comparing ourselves at all with others.
Lastly, as children of living God, like the shepherd boy, David, we are the children of king of kings, and so we have the power within to be strong, bold, courageous and act with self confidence whatever we do. Apostle Paus says, "I can do all things in Christ who strengthens me." Our part is to act and be busy.
Have a blessed and joyful time!!🙋💐🙂
