Episode 10: I’m Tired of Success Because…I Lack Courage (Pt 2)

Have you ever found yourself minimizing your uniqueness, and you end up not being successful? It is time to demolish that. God made you unique for you to achieve a particular purpose. Trying to be who you are not extremely tiring while walking on the path of who you are, is energizing and encouraging.

As humans, we tend to view our weaknesses as our liabilities, but God doesn’t want us to see them that way. He wants us to look at our weaknesses as assets to bring honor and glory to His name. For instance, look at Kevin. God gave him a unique voice. He thought his voice was weak because he couldn’t sing like other people. God’s plan for him was to use his voice to encourage other people to embrace their uniqueness and bring praise to God.

Every weakness, every disadvantage that you were born with. Maybe this is exactly what God is going to use as a testimony so that He can receive the glory when you conquer the weakness.

This episode will give you the courage to deal with your threats and give you the motivation require.

Listen in and learn.
