Confidence before God: Benefits and How to Be Confident. (Copy)

Written By E. Asante

According to scripture, You will be confident before God if truly your heart condemns you, not

Text 1 John 3:19-24; Hebrews 4:14-16

The two readings tell us the importance of being confident before God and how to be one. When You are satisfied before God, you receive mercy and grace, especially in times of need. You become confident before God by believing in Jesus Christ and doing what is right before God.

In today’s sermon, we shall also look at the lives of two kings and learn some lessons. The sermon shall encourage you not to look for cheap blessings from God but to look for what is rightly yours.

 

[A] Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:1-7) || [B] Jeroboam (1 Kings 14:1-13)

Lesson 2

  • A / Please God by doing what is right.

  • B / Displeased God by building idols and introduced Israel to Idol worship

  • A / Was genuine, and so was confident before God.

  • B / He was fake and so disguised himself before God

  • A /God healed him and gave him his blessings

  • B /He received a judgement from God

  • A /He made the work of the man of God very easy.

  • B /He made the work of the man of God very difficult.

    Deserving God’s blessings:

    If you deserve God’s blessings, the man of God does not need to do much; he just follows what God tells him, and the miracle is done.
