The Twenty “Cans” of Success

1. Why should I say I CAN’T when the Bible says I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength (Philippians 4:13)?

2. Why should I WORRY about my needs when I know that God will take care of all my needs according to His riches in glory (Philippians 4:19)?

3. Why should I FEAR when the Bible says God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power, of love and a sound mind (II Timothy 1)?

4. Why should I LACK FAITH to live for Christ when God has given me plenty of faith (Romans 12:3)?

5. Why should I BE WEARY when the Bible says that the Lord is the strength of my life, and that I will display strength and take action because I know God (Psalm 27:1; Daniel 11:32)?

6. Why should I ALLOW SATAN CONTROL over my life when He that is in me is greater than he that is in the world (I John 4.4.)?

7. Why should I ACCEPT DEFEAT when the Bible says that God always leads me in victory (II Corinthians 2:14)

8. Why should I LACK WISDOM when I know that Christ became wisdom to me from God and God gives wisdom to me generously when I ask Him for it (I Corinthians 1:30, James 1:5)

9. Why should I BE DEPRESSED when I can recall to mind God’s loving-kindness, compassion and faithfulness and I have hope in Him (Lamentations 3:21-23)?

10. Why should I WORRY and be upset when I can cast all my problems on Christ who cares for me (1Peter 5:7)

11. Why should I ever BE IN BONDAGE knowing that there is freedom where the Spirit of the Lord is (Galatians 5:1)

12. Why should I FEEL CONDEMNED when the Bible says I won’t be condemned because I am in Christ (Romans 8:1)?

13. Why should I FEEL ALONE when Jesus said He is with me always and He will never leave me or forsake me (Matthew 28:20 Hebrews 13:5)?

14. Why should I FEEL LIKE I AM CURSED or have bad luck when the Bible says that Christ rescued me from the curse of the law that I might receive His Spirit (Galatians 3:13, 14)

15. Why should I BE UNHAPPY when I, like Paul, can learn to be satisfied in all kinds of conditions (Philippians 4:11)?

16. Why should I FEEL WORTHLESS when Christ became sin for me so that I might become acceptable to God (2 Corinthians 5:21)?

17. Why should I FEEL THAT OTHERS ARE OUT TO GET ME when I know that nobody can be against me when God is for me (Romans 8:31)?

18. Why should I BE CONFUSED when God is the author of peace and He gives me knowledge through His Spirit who lives in me (I Corinthians 2:12; 14:33)?

19. Why should I FEEL LIKE A FAILURE when I am a conqueror in all things through Christ (Romans 8:37)

20. Why should I LET THE PRESSURES OF LIFE BOTHER ME when I can take courage knowing that Jesus has overcome the world and it’s problems (John 16:33)?

In world of chaos and confusion all around us today, I am so glad that I don't have to depend on this world for peace, but that I have peace that only comes from knowing Jesus!
