TOPIC: Self-esteem Empowerment (Part 2)

Jeremiah 1:6-7 ‬
Then said I: “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” [7] But the Lord said to me: “Do not say, ‘I am a youth,’ For you shall go to all to whom I send you, And whatever I command you, you shall speak.


*Message*

Yesterday, we emphasized the necessity of continually contending for fresher revelations of how God sees and regards us, as it is a very strong strategy for self-esteem empowerment. So, you might have started seeing yourself way below how God sees you, but a fresher encounter with Him today will grant you fresher revelations of how highly He regards you.

Look at Jeremiah the prophet. He was first introduced as the "son of Hilkiah, of the priests who were in Anathoth" (1:1). Being a stock of the priests, you would have thought he would be always charged to take up any spiritual responsibility that comes his way. Alas, we discovered in the next few verses that even despite all of the divine structures and leverages around him, this young man has always considered himself so small and little and insignificant as far as the move of God is concerned.

*Thanks to God for encountering Jeremiah right there and granting him a revelation of how He sees the young man: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5). That revelation would empower Jeremiah's self-esteem and worth, and his life will never remain the same. Wise people crave fresher encounters with the LORD daily.*

*Prayers*

Press for fresher encounters with the LORD, for fresher revelations of how He sees and regards you.
