OVERCOMING FEAR

OVERCOMING FEAR
Fear is a trick of the enemy to keep you oppressed, suppressed and depressed. You are probably afraid because of what you have seen or heard, something you believe you can’t handle. Have you ever asked yourself, why am I afraid? Assuming you have a project to deliver  and you don’t have the capital to execute it before the dateline, you get apprehensive and lose your sleep because a lifetime opportunity is about to slip off. But when you know a Bank will handle it, you go to sleep because your fear is taken care of. You have a Father who is not only greater than the Bank but owns the whole world (Psalm 24:1) and gives you access to Himself 24/7. He’s always ready to carry your burden if you bring them to Him. So why are you afraid/agitated? The issue with most of us is that we weigh our issues with our strength. We look  at our capacity or capability instead of looking at the capability of God. This reminds me of a story in the Bible in 1Samuel17 when Goliath threatened the children of Israel, they were sore afraid vs24. Goliath saw them as the armies of Israel and they saw themselves the same way. But when David got to the scene, he saw the armies of the living God vs26, so he wasn’t afraid of Goliath. He saw him as one of the lions and bears that God delivered him from. He wasn’t seeing the size of Goliath, he saw the size of God. The victory was already established in his heart before he ventured out.
Fear is defined in the dictionary as the likelihood of something unwelcome happening. Note that it is the likelihood and not the certainty. Our interpretation of events is a function of what goes on in our mind and it determines our actions. Fear can mean False Evidences Appearing Real or Face Everything And Rise. Fear is an invite for the enemy to operate. Faith is an invite for God to operate. God does NOT operate in the atmosphere of fear and the Devil does not operate in the atmosphere of faith. You create your own ambience. Stay away from people or things that create fear in you consciously or unconsciously. Move with the people that propel your faith. What you hear has the ability to create fear or faith in you Rom10:10, so choose what you want. 
Face your fears. You have all the weapons to overcome. You are a different specie. That is why when men are cast down, you shall say there’s a lifting up. A thousand shall fall at your side and ten thousand at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. From the clime where you are meant to operate, fear is an alien. What God does not give you should not be in your possession. 2 Timothy 1:7 KJV
[7] For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.
A fearful person is a powerless person. Perfect love cast out all fear. A person operating in fear is not likely to demonstrate sound mind. The only fear we are permitted to have is the fear of God. This is not the fear that terrorizes but a response to the magnitude of God’s love and appreciation of His faithfulness.
The reality is that issues will come but the truth is that you are more than conqueror.  There are 366 fear not in the Bible for each day, irrespective of what you are faced with, wake up everyday with thanksgiving, mention your name and say FEAR NOT.  Fear tolerated is Faith contaminated.

    Most of the time our fears are based on our thoughts,imaginations and assumptions, not even what we see. Fear of the unknown... Forgetting we serve the Almighty who is capable of doing all things. As long as we are on his side no one can be against us (Rom 8:31)
    Thank you for the message, God bless you ma

    Why should I fear when God says to me " Fear not for I am with you". For the children of God there's no fear.

    Fear is a total lack of trust in God, it is undermining the ability of God. It's like saying "God, you can't handle this" and this elements shouldn't be exhibited by children of God. The moment we realised the supremacy of God over all things, fear will cease in our hearts.

    FEAR is man's greatest enemy, especially the fear of the Unknown. As children of God Almighty, we are instructed to fear God, only. That "fear'" is an act of reference & devotion to our Creator, JEHOVAH. We are not allowed to be afraid our situation or circumstances or the Unknown because there is a SOLUTION to every problem and they can be found in the Bible.

We are not allowed to be afraid or timid about our circumstances or situations or the Unknown. We have the right to approach the Throne of Grace with boldness to obtain mercy and favour. There is a SOLUTION to every problem as written in the Bible. All that is required from us is to retrieve it and confess it over that problem, situation, circumstance or "FEAR".

    Thank you ma,a child of God must not allow fear,when you are too fearful,you will not be able to confront the devil,and it will be difficult to pray.

    Fear is a deceit and a stumbling block that every child of God must learn how to deal with.

TIME TO PRAY

-
There’s never a time to pray as this. We have been praying and it is obvious that our prayer is working for us. However, we need to intensify our prayer. No wonder Jesus said “men always ought to pray and not to faint.” We can not afford to fold our hands or faint    at a time as this, with the development all over the world. If we faint in the days of adversity, our strength is small.  IF WE DON’T PRAY, WE BECOME A PREY.  If we are willing to pray, there’s a God that is willing to answer. 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV [14] If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. In the place of prayer, direction is given, help is secured and transformation takes place. Prayer is giving God permission to intervene in the affairs of men. You will agree with me that we need to give God permission to move in our lives and in our land. Wh

MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS

-
MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR RELATIONSHIPS We are all blessed one way or the other. I see relationship as one of those blessedness. It’s important to God so it is very important to me. Some people will come your way for a short period and some for long periods almost a life time. When they go down memory lane in another ten years, would they be grateful they met you or otherwise? It is possible to be good and do a wrong thing that wipes out the good due to the extent of hurt it brings. I know there are people that you’re nice to that will forget and hold on to little wrong. There’s nothing you can do about that, just be good. Forgive, forgive and forgive. Applaud people when you can. Encourage them, help them, inspire them, appreciate them, love them, check up on them. These things have a way of coming back to you cos they are seeds. Relationships are resources, you may need to draw from, some time or maybe your children. You definitely will need people at every phase of your life. Don’t thin
