Confidence energises us, drives out fear, doubt, anxiety, and worry, leaves us with unshakeable assurance.

Philippians 4:10-13

10I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. 11I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. 12I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. 13I can do all this through him who gives me strength.

He knew everything that he was doing because GOD within him enabling him to do it. Almighty GOD intents the same sort of confidence for us. “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

Philippians 3:1-7

1Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to you, to me indeed is not troublesome, but for you it is safe.

2Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the mutilators.

3For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

4Though I might also have confidence in the flesh. If any other man thinks that he has reasons he might trust in the flesh, I more:

5Circumcised the eighth day, of the stock of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin, a Hebrew of the Hebrews; concerning the law, a Pharisee;

6Concerning zeal, persecuting the church; concerning the righteousness which is in the law, blameless.

7But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.

Proverb 16:18

18Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.

Recognise the source of all that GOD requires from us is GOD who lives inside of us.

Proverb 29:23

23A man’s pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit.

Bases of confidence is our relationship with Christ who lives within me will enable me, who will strengthen me, who will guide me, who will make it possible for me to achieve and accomplish anything and everything My Father sets out before me. It is the presence of Holy Spirit in us enable us, powers us, strengthens us, energies us to do anything and beyond what human strength could possibly do. GOD does not wants us to depend on anything and anyone but Him. GOD will provide everything you need to get it done.
