There are times we are faced with situations that we aren’t prepared for, an unexpected circumstances that makes your friends, even family and household turn against you. Some times those you look up to and depend on become your most dangerous enemies in such a time, we need to encourage ourselves. When help become very scares here and there. In situations when we pray and it seems our prayers couldn’t go beyond the roof. We need to encourage ourselves and find solace in God to be who He destined us to be.

Judges 11:1-3.

Jephthah was the first son of Gilead, a child out of wedlock. He was a mighty man and a warrior, but lived in his father’s house until the time his younger ones sent him packing. All Jephthah could do was to encourage himself in the situation. He looked within him and focus on what he knows how to do best. The scripture said “he found worthless men around himself” and went on to become great that the elders in Gilead needed to search for him in days of trouble.

It’s time to encourage yourself in that situation. Stop looking for who to believe in you. Believe in yourself and move on. Get up and motivate yourself. No more explanation, it’s time to act rightly and let go of what people say or do. The scripture said, “and David encouraged himself in the Lord” it’s your turn to encourage yourself in the lord, get up and start all over then you will realise what you are capale of.

Good Morning and God Bless you.
