Slay Doubt Challenge - Chapter 8 Reflections


We've reached Chapter 8 of Slay Doubt, can you believe it? 

Phew, what a journey it's been for me, I'm hoping you've gleaned something of value or better yet, picked up a copy of the book. It is such a power-packed book and I'm so grateful to Detola for writing this book.

Embrace Your Unique Project

Sometimes, you need to be discreet about what God is sharing with you. It is not everything God tells you, that you need to share, except God permits you to. A lot of projects, dreams, and visions have been prematurely aborted because they were shared with the wrong people. Being discreet and discerning is key when it comes to confidently manifesting God’s calling on your life.

This statement carries so much weight. I've seen it play out in my life.

Sometimes when you open up prematurely or to the wrong person, it can abort the dream. 

I remember many years ago I expressed a desire to do something in line with one of my passions. A statement uttered carelessly quenched the fire I had, and it's taken a significant amount of time to get back on track and to that place of believing I am not only able but have what it takes to walk the path of my dream.

Detola advised us of the need to do quickly that which has been committed into our hands as quickly as possible, so the assignment doesn't get passed to another. 

That was a wake-up call for me. I had to be honest with myself and ask what I've been doing with the unique assignment God has committed to me. It made me understand the need to always work with a sense of urgency, doing the needful now, which if I'm being honest, I've not always done. Even the Bible attests to this in the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 3, verse 1. It says that "There’s an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth".

I'm therefore committed to stepping outside of my comfort zone to fulfil my assignment and bring glory to my Father God despite the challenges I face along the way. 

The dream is worth fighting for, so don't give up, keep going.

Slay Doubt Challenge - Chapter 2 Reflections

Slay Doubt!: How to recognise and confidently manifest God’s calling on your life by Detola Amure Your calling is relevant. Doubting that you have been called, often comes from thinking that you have nothing to offer, or that what you have to offer is not relevant.  Wow.  This was another liberating chapter for me.  Having reinforced the point that I have something to offer, notwithstanding the noise out there in the world, brought so much peace to my heart. Those close to me know how much anxiety I've experienced learning to trust, believe and step into what I believe God, the creator of the universe and everything I know shaped me to be. And why? I believed wrongly that since others had already gone ahead of me, I couldn't possibly offer anything more.  Until fairly recently, it had become relatively easy and routine to disqualify myself and my desires. I'd hear myself say things like: I can't do it because so and so are already doing it I'm not good enough I'...

I'm back

Hello It has been a long, long while since last my blog post, almost a year, in fact 🙈😞 I starting blogging to help me develop a consistent writing habit. My plan was to write every day for 90 days, but I've fallen short of that goal several times now. The old Esther would have packed up shop thinking, maybe this isn't for me, but I've learned and understood that failure is necessary on the path to success and therefore I want to state that I'm still committed to this process. Starting tomorrow, I will be posting my reflections and the learning I picked up from a 15-day challenge I took part in on how to slay doubt in all areas of life. Thanks for stopping by.
