#71: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

Uniquely You with Destiny Pickens

Have you ever just looked at yourself and out rightly down played on your abilities?

God isn't ordinary and so nothing he has created is ordinary. You have wonderful gifts and abilities deposited inside you, don't you think it's an insult to your maker as a child if God you constantly doubt yourself?

A lot of women are held by the chains of imposter syndrome and as believers, one of the ways the devil takes over our life is to fill us with insufficient thoughts that makes us doubt what God says about us.

In this episode, I shared the characteristics and roots of imposter syndrome and most importantly, 5 ways we can overcome imposter syndrome as children of God.

Recognize your identity in Christ

The knowledge of our identity in Christ is where our assurance lies. When we know who we are and whose we are, it is very difficult to look down on ourselves and down play our Gods given gifts and abilities.

Renew your mind with God's truth

God's word, the Bible is never changing. This is food for our mind and soul. When we constantly meditate on God's word, we will be filled with so much positivity and would be renewed and armed with the appropriate weapons to fight the enemy when he comes to sow seed of imposter syndrome in us.

Embrace your weakness

Embracing your weakness means submitting to God's supremacy and acknowledging that it's only in him that we draw strength. We can overcome our fears and insecurity when we submit to God's strength.

Practice humility

When we accept that there are others better than us and we submit ourselves to the learning process and be of service, it becomes difficult for negative thoughts to find expression in us.

Trust Gods timing

God's time is indeed the best. We can't do anything on our own and we certainly can't overcome imposter syndrome when we try to fight it on our own. When God promises a thing, he does it.

• Romans 12:2
