INTRODUCTION
Too many people are going about life struggling,
perhaps even whining with a sense of dull resentment
at what they consider the “bad breaks” life has given
them.
The feeling of inferiority has become a major defeat
for many through lack of confidence and self-doubt.
This feeling of inadequacy has erected power barriers
in some people’s personality that they find it difficult
to find and release their God given powers.
The aim of this teaching is very direct and simple. It
makes no pretense to literary excellence. This is simply
a practical direct action personal enhancement plan.
The sole objective is to:
help you achieve a happy, satisfying,
confident life.
help you gain a shift in your outlook on life.

By mastering this teaching you will enjoy a new and
delightful sense of well-being.
I’m in no doubt this will help you dominate the feeling
of inferiority complex which ordinarily might defeat
you by refusing to become mentally submissive to
them.
Let’s get started.

INFERIORITY COMPLEX
This can be defined as a deep and profound doubt for
oneself. Everywhere you encounter people who are
inwardly afraid, who shrink from life, who suffer from
a deep sense of inadequacy and insecurity, who doubt
their own powers. Deep within themselves, they
mistrust their ability to meet responsibilities or to
grasp opportunities.
Always they are beset by the vague and sinister fear
that something is not going to be quite right. They do
not believe that they have it in them to be what they
want to be or who God created them to be, and so
they try to make themselves content with something
less than that of which they are capable. Many go
crawling through life on their hands and knees,
defeated and afraid.
A sense of inferiority and inadequacy interferes with
the attainment of your hopes, but self-confidence
leads to self-realization and achievement.
The importance of believing in yourself can’t be over
emphasized.
6. Page | 5
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF! HAVE FAITH IN YOUR
ABILITIES!
Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your
own powers, you cannot be successful and happy.
Let me share a man’s story with you:
“May I speak with you about a matter of desperate
importance to me?”, he said.
“I’m new in town to handle the most important
business deal of my life”. “If I succeed, it means the
world to me. If I fail, I’m in trouble”. “I have a terrible
disbelief in myself “, he said dispiritedly.
“I have zero confidence. I just don’t believe I can put it
over. I am very discouraged and depressed.”
For real he lamented, “ I’m just about sunk, here I am,
forty five years old. Why is it that all my life I have been
tormented by inferiority feelings?“
7. Page | 6
Does that sound like you irrespective of the age? OR
Perhaps yours is different?
There’s a simple, direct, practical technique to tackle
it.
Before I go further, let me say this:
You must understand and accept that nobody is born
a failure. Nobody is born useless. Whatever is playing
out in your life to an extent, is caused by series of
unpleasant events in the past that formed the
foundation of your reality today.
8. Page | 7
You need to reset your mind to accept God’s original
design for you. HE created you in His image and
likeness, breathed life into you.
Can anything God created be a failure?
The book of Genesis 1:31; the Bible recorded that
God looked at His creation and saw that they were
very good.
So begin to see yourself in that light. You are very
good. You are not useless. You are not a failure. You
carry greatness within you. Nothing can defeat you.
You are a life giving spirit. You carry the life of God in
you. Keep renewing your mind with such words.

PERSONAL EMOTIONAL ANALYSIS.
It is important to discover why you have these feelings
of no power or inadequacy. This requires analysis and
may take time. We must approach the maladies of our
emotional life as a physician probes to find out
something wrong with his patient.
You may talk to a coach for scientific counseling. But
in between before you find a coach you can trust, you
can do this Personal Emotional Analysis
(PEA) yourself. Withdraw into yourself and begin to
probe your past which includes your childhood.
The purpose of this analysis is to first find to the root
the series of events that led to the disbelief in yourself.
For instance it could be as a result of an ill treatment
from childhood or a failure pattern etc.
You need to get to the root of yours.
Achieving this, is a step to dealing with the core of the
inferiority feelings.
10. Page | 9
UTILIZATION OF THE POWER OF AFFIRMATION
AND VISUALIZING
By this I mean repetition of certain words to yourself
and creating a mental picture of it. Saying them over
several times in and out of bed. Visualizing it. Do this
with an attitude of faith and you will gain sufficient
strength and ability to deal with this problem.
For instance:
You are scheduled for an interview, you are prepared
for it, but yet you have this disbelief that you wouldn’t
get through the interview.
Or
You are a salesperson going over to meet a customer
but your mind is feeding you with negative thoughts
that you won’t make sales.
Or
Perhaps, you are just afraid or worried about
everything. You always go around with a feeling that
something negative is going to happen. Your life is
saturated with inferiority and lack of confidence.
11. Page | 10
This state of mind will always reflect itself in anything
you do; be it marriage, relationship, business,
schooling, work etc.
But not to worry, this technique will knock those
insecurity feelings out of your mind, leaving you with
a feeling of confidence not only in yourself but in life
generally.
Feeding your mind with the right words of affirmation
boosts your faith and confidence while starving your
insecurities.
For this technique to work better, you need to search
out the Bible for affirmations that suit you. Personalize
them.
Why the Bible? Because Romans 10:17 said: Faith
comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of
God.
Your faith builds up by hearing what God is saying to
you through His Word, affirming them to yourself and
committing them to memory. (At the end of this
teaching I will give few words from the Bible you
can use).
12. Page | 11
One of the most powerful concept, one which is a sure
cure for lack of confidence is the thought that God is
actually with you and helping you.
One of the scripture references amongst others that
attest to this concept is:
Isaiah 41:10 - Fear not for I am with you. Be not
dismayed for I am your God. I will strengthen you.
Yes I will help you. I will uphold you with My
righteous right hand.
No other idea is so powerful in developing self-
confidence as this simple belief when practiced. This
brings to your consciousness that God Almighty is
with you. He will stand by you. He will help you and
see you through.
To practice it, simply affirm: “God is with me; God is
helping me; God is leading me.”
Spend several minutes each day visualizing God’s
presence. Then practice believing that affirmation. Go
about your day with the belief that what you have
affirmed and visualized is true.
Affirm it! Visualize it! Believe it! It will Actualize
itself.

THE POWER OF PRAYER
Have you tried talking to God about your inferiority
attitude? He created you. HE has the power to help
you overcome this problem.
Every problem can be solved right if you pray. Prayer
is the greatest power available to an individual in
solving personal problems. Prayer adds to personal
efficiency. Prayer has the power to keep your reactions
correct and sound.
You need not lose your basic energy or become weak,
merely as a result of ageing. It is not necessary to allow
your spirit to grow stale or dull. Prayer can freshen you
up every evening and send you out renewed each
morning.
You can receive guidance in prayers, if prayer is
allowed to permeate your subconscious. Prayer driven
deeply into your subconscious can remake you. It
releases and keeps power flowing freely. Prayer helps
to tap forces and to utilize strength not otherwise
available.
14. Page | 13
A woman was asked how she so completely mastered
her troubles, she answered that ordinary problems
could be met by ordinary prayers but that “when a big
trouble comes along, you have to pray deep prayers.”
If you have been praying in a certain manner, even if
it has brought you blessings, which doubtless has,
perhaps you can pray even more profitably by varying
the pattern with fresh prayer formulas.
It is important to realize that you are dealing with the
most tremendous power in the world when you pray.
The secret of prayer is to find the process that will
most effectively open your mind humbly to God.
Prayer power is the manifestation of strength. There
are strategies for the release of spiritual strength
through the mechanism of prayer.
15. Page | 14
I recommend these three prayer formulas to you:
Personalise
Visualise
Actualise
Personalise
By this I simply mean a daily system of creative prayer.
When a situation arise, talk it over with God. Be very
simple and direct.
Don’t see God as some far-reaching deity. See Him as
HE is; The Omnipresent. HE is everywhere. You can talk
to HIM on the street, in the office, on the train, etc. HE
is always nearby as a close fellow.
With this, you obey the Biblical command to “pray
without ceasing”. Go about everyday discussing with
God. You don’t have to often take a particular posture
to engage this prayer formula.
When faced with an issue, you can simply say to God:
“What do I do about this, Lord?” Or “Give me a fresh
insight on this, Lord.”
16. Page | 15
Visualise
This affirms the Biblical teachings on “meditation”. By
meditation, I mean the discipline of pondering. I
invariably hear from folks who think of meditation as
some sort of spooky mysticism. I beg to disagree,
meditation is one of the spiritual arsenals we should
engage. When you are meditating, it allows you to
develop a mental picture of your meditation. When
either failure or success is visualised it strongly tend to
actualise in terms equivalent to the mental picture.
To assure something good happening, first pray about
it and test it according to God’s Will, then print a
picture of it on your mind using your “mind eyes”.
Continue to submit the picture to God’s Will —that is
put it in God’s hands — follow HIS guidance. Work
hard and smartly, thus doing your part to achieve
success in the matter.
Practice believing and continue to hold the visualised
picture firmly in your thoughts. Do this and you will be
amazed at the strange ways in which the visualised
pictures comes to pass.
17. Page | 16
That which you have “personlised in simple prayer”
and “visualised ” now “actualises” according to the
pattern of your basic obtainable hope when modified,
by invoking God’s power upon it and giving yourself
to its realization.
I have come across someone who said to me, “I don’t
think I have what it takes to push through the daily life
struggles”.
And you reading this book, may be saying almost the
same thing.
Hear this: The scriptures in Luke 17:21 tells us that,
“we have the Kingdom of God within us”.
This is to inform you that God your Creator, has laid
up within your mind and personality all the potential
power and ability you need for constructive living.
What remains is for you to tap and develop these
powers.
18. Page | 17
By reading and mentally sucking in the Bible and
practicing the prayer formulas makes gaining of
dynamic faith achievable.
Jesus speaking in Matt 9:29 said - According to your
faith be it unto you.
To get anywhere with prayer, learn to develop your
faith. Drive your prayers deep into your doubt, fear,
and inferiorities.
The ability to possess faith, utilize faith and gain the
release of power it provides, are skills and like any skill,
must be studied and practiced to gain perfection.
Following are ten rules for getting effective results
from prayer:
1. Set aside a few minutes every day. Do not say
anything. Simply think about God. This will make
your mind spiritually welcoming.
2. Then pray out, using simple words. Tell God
anything that is on your mind. Simply talk to God
in your own way. He understands it.
19. Page | 18
3. Pray as you go about the business of the day, on
the street, in the bus or at your desk. Engage
minute prayers by closing your eyes to shut out
the distractions and focusing briefly on God’s
presence. The more you do this every day the
nearer you will feel God’s presence.
4. Do not always ask when you pray, instead spend
most of your prayers giving thanks that God’s
blessings are yours.
5. Pray with the belief that sincere prayers can reach
out and envelope your loved ones with God’s
love and protection.
6. Never exercise doubt in prayer. Only positive
thoughts get results.
7. Always express willingness to accept God’s Will.
Ask for what you want, but be willing to take what
God gives you.
20. Page | 19
8. Practice the attitude of putting everything in
God’s hands. Ask for the ability to do your best
and to leave the outcomes confidently to God.
9. Pray for people you do not like or who mistreated
you. Resentment is blockade number one of
prayer power.
10.Make a list of people for whom to pray. The
more you pray for other people, especially those
not connected with you, the more prayer results
will come back to you.
21. Page | 20
THOUGHT DISCIPLINE
At this point, however, I wish to indicate that to build
up feelings of self-confidence, the practice
of “thought discipline” is also very effective.
Feeling of confidence depends upon the type of
thoughts that habitually occupy your mind. Think
defeat and you are bond to feel defeated.
Practice thinking confident thoughts, make it a
dominating habit, and you will develop a strong sense
of capacity such that, you will be able to overcome any
difficulty that arises.
The feeling of confidence actually induces great
strength. It is said that “you conquer what you believe
you can.”
Do the thing you fear and the death of fear becomes
certain.
Practice confidence and faith and your fears and
insecurities will have no power over you.
22. Page | 21
“Never take counsel of your fears.”
The secret is to fill your mind with thoughts of faith,
confidence, and security. This will expel all thoughts of
doubt, all lack of confidence.
To that one man, who has been haunted by
insecurities and fears, I suggest you do a Bible search,
write out every statement relative to courage and
confidence. Commit them to memory; memorize
them.
Not only will you regain confidence in yourself, you
will radiate courage and become a man of compelling
force by just applying this simple technique of
“thought discipline”.
23. Page | 22
“Attitudes are more important than facts.” This is
worth repeating until its truth grips you.
Any fact facing us, however difficult, even seemingly
helpless, is not so important as our attitude towards
that fact.
However you think about a fact may defeat you before
you ever do anything about it. On the other hand, a
confident and optimistic thought pattern can modify
or overcome that fact altogether.
The blows of life, the accumulation of difficulties, the
multiplication of problems, tend to sap energy and
leave you spent and discouraged. In such a condition,
the true status of your power is obscured and a person
yields to a discouragement that is not justified by the
facts.
So if you feel that you are defeated and have lost
confidence in your ability to win, sit down, take a piece
of paper and make a list, not of the factors that are
against you, but of those that are for you. Included in
the list should be:
24. Page | 23
Family, if they are always there for you.
Friends who hold you in high esteem.
Your integrity, if it’s still intact.
Your physical health, if you are alright.
Your environment, if it has many opportunities
to explore.
And of course your religious Faith.
It is vital to re-appraise your personality assets
reasonably, this will convince you that you are less
defeated than you think you are.
If you think constantly of the forces that seem to be
against you, we will build them up into a power, far
beyond that which is justified. But if on the contrary,
you mentally visualize and affirm and reaffirm your
personality assets including the aforementioned and
keep your thoughts on them, emphasizing them to the
fullest extent, you will rise out of any difficulty
regardless of what it may be.
Your inner strength also will reassess themselves and
with the help of God, lift you from defeat to victory.
25. Page | 24
In the busy activities of daily existence, “thought
discipline” is required if you are to re-educate your
mind and make it a power producing plant. It is
possible even in the midst of your daily work to drive
confident thoughts into consciousness.
In conclusion, it is important to say that to build up
feelings of self-confidence, the practice of
“suggesting confidence ideas” to your mind is very
effective.
If your mind is obsessed by thoughts of insecurity and
inadequacy, it is of course, due to the fact that such
ideas have dominated your thinking over a long
period of time.
Another and more positive pattern of ideas must be
given the mind and that is accomplished by repetitive
suggestion of confidence ideas.
26. Page | 25
For instance:
All your life you seem never to take up any business
deal successfully. Upon this repetitive failure, your
mind has grown to label you a failure.
Now this false idea of you, has to be replaced. You
need to consciously start suggesting confidence ideas
to your mind.
Using personal affirmations can be adopted.
Like Philippians 4:13 - “I can do all things through
Christ that strengthens me”.
Keep suggesting the new confidence ideas to your
mind.
We build up the feeling of insecurity or security by
how we think. If in our thoughts we constantly fix our
attention on fearful expectations of dire events that
may happen, the result will be a constant feeling of
insecurity, and what is even more serious is the
tendency to create, by the power of thought, the very
condition we fear.
27. Page | 26
10 SIMPLE PRACTICABLE RULES
To sum up all I have said; here are 10 simple,
practicable rules for overcoming inferiority attitudes
and learning to practice faith:
1. Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind, a
mental picture of yourself succeeding in any
desired area. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never
doubt its reality. No matter how badly things
seem to be going at the moment, always picture
“success”.
2. Whenever a negative thought concerning your
personal ability comes to mind, deliberately voice
a positive thought to cancel it.
3. Avoid building up obstacles in your imagination.
Depreciate every obstacle. Difficulties must be
studied and carefully dealt with to get rid of
them. They must not be inflated by fear thoughts.
4. Do not be awed by other people and try to copy
them. Nobody can be you as efficiently as you
can. Remember also that most people, despite
28. Page | 27
their confident appearance and demeanor, are
often as scared as you are and as doubtful of
themselves.
5. Ten times a day, repeat these powerful words
from Romans 8:31 - “If God be for me, who
can be against me?” (Repeat them now slowly
to yourself).
6. Get a competent counselor to help you
understand why you do what you do. Learn the
origin of your inferiority and self-doubt feelings
which often begin from childhood. Self-
knowledge leads to cure.
7. Ten times a day, practice the following
affirmation, repeating it out loud if possible. “I
can do all things through Christ that
strengthens me. “ - Phil 4:13.
8. Make a true estimate of your ability. Believe in
your own God given powers.
29. Page | 28
9. Put yourself into God’s hands. Declare it: “I am in
God’s hand!” Then believe you are now
receiving all the powers you need. Feel it flowing
into you.
10.Remind yourself that God is with you and
nothing can defeat you.
