Self Worth ( How Valuable are You)

Good evening everyone and Happy Saturday. I consider it an honor and  pleasure to be do a teaching here on Rhema Word 2.0. I had talked to a friend today and she was not in the best of moods. This happens often to each of us as others in our lives may not have the same value that you have on your life. A case in point is on yesterday my younger son and I went someplace together and when we had gotten there we had a chance to sit. As we are sitting and waiting I had asked my son to use his phone because mine had been sent back to repair my camera on my phone. When he handed me the phone he had no idea on whom I was calling. As I finished dialing the number a name popped up that at the time surprised me but it should not have. The number I dialed was to my own phone and the name that my son ascribed to my name was Deadbeat. I realized that at one time in his life that is what I was to him and his older brother. Our relationships have gotten better but I knew where he was coming from because I knew my self worth. Many of us, those who know God and those who do not need to look inside yourself and find your Self Worth ( How Valuable are You ).

In looking at the meaning of the word self-worth I go to freedictionary.com and self-worth means as follows; the sense of one's own value or worth as a person, self esteem; self-respect. There are times when we have to celebrate our own accomplishments. God did not put us here on this earth to not enjoy milestones and goals we have reached. We have to think highly of ourselves and it can be done without being vain or brash. We have to respect things that deal with us on a personal level. We must identify our Self Worth ( How Valuable are You ).

In looking in the Word of God I begin by looking at Jeremiah 1:4-10. Even though Jeremiah is just a child God has an assignment for him and it only could be accomplished by Jeremiah trusting God to know what his value was to the people of God. There are many things you have accomplished even if you have others who do not feel the same way about you. Your self-worth begins when you see your value and not what others see in you. God sees and hears all. There are some in your life who do not mean well no matter if you treated them well or ignored them You must have a sense of your value. Self-Worth ( How Valuable are You ).

In looking at the Word of God again I go to Isaiah 38:1-9 and see King Hezekiah is not only going to die but also in harms way of losing his kingdom to the Assyrians, the most powerful force on the land at that time. Hezekiah not only received a gift of more years from God but was able to regain his self- esteem that had been threatened by the mighty Assyrian army. On this day there may be a neighborhood against you for your belief in God, your co-workers may question the way you are and even the government may get mad at you for praying in public but God has given you some self-esteem to see what is your actual Self-Worth ( How Valuable are You ).

In looking in the Word of God one final time I go to Matthew 15:21-28. In this passage a woman who is not even considered one of God's chosen people comes to Jesus and ask him to heal her daughter from her sickness. Her self-respect could have gotten in the way as Jesus told her that he could not help her. But even though not one of the chosen people she pressed on until her child was healed. Today you may not have accepted Jesus as your personal Savior but I am here to tell you that he still sees your needs and hears your prayers. Your self-respect is part of your Self-Worth.

In closing you have to know that God has placed you on this earth to be a mighty warrior such a Joshua and Deborah. He has provided you with doing much with little such as he did Gideon. He has made you a Champion as he did David. He has given us wisdom as he did Solomon. He has allowed us to teach as he allowed Ezra to teach. He allowed Jesus to not only die for our sins but to be a mediator for us as well. He has given us the Holy Spirit to guide us. He has made us bold as he did Paul and Stephen. He has made us a royal generation. Our Self-Worth is the most valuable thing we all have. If you cannot feel good about yourself then how can you feel good about any of the things I mentioned above. Look at yourself and smile. Hug yourself and appreciated how far you have come and you have things you still want to do. And shout out loud and say I AM A CHAMPION!!! May God bless this teaching and I give him all the glory and the honor for this teaching that he has given me. You are valuable. Remember that.
