FACING YOUR FEAR


Fear is a torment
It is an enemy to success and a friend to darkness
It depreciates your potential and increases your fretfulness (anxiety)
It accelerates the death of man and kills the dream of a rising star
It leaves you empty and occupies your mind with doubt

 The ability of every man to succeed is determined by how he is able to conquer his fear
Do we live in fear and allow evil to keep on prevailing
Should we live in fear and allow our adversary to take over what we have sown
Should we live in fear and allow our enemies rule over us
Should we live in fear and watch our land desolated
Should we live in fear and see our children die in hunger
Should we continue in fear and allow our dreams too be disregarded

How can we overcome our fear if we don’t have faith?
How can we overcome our fear when we don’t have confidence in our self?
How can we overcome our fear when we don’t see the need to press on even when we fail?
How can we overcome our fear when we still cover our sin?
How can we overcome our fear when we don’t see the need to love one another?
For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline. (2 Timothy 1:7)    But why does fear still torment us? Why do we allow fear to kill that conquering spirit we have?

Fear is a battle we have to combat with and the only way we can come out victoriously is by putting on all the armor of God, wearing the breastplate of righteousness, putting on salvation as an helmet, holding the shield of faith,…and taking the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God (Ephesians 6 vs. 13-17). We have all it takes to conquered our fear but why is fear still a torment to us? 

If you are not faithful you will be fearful… Your fear can be overcome through faith live wisely and don’t allow the devil to use you the way he wishes.
It is your battle no man will assist you in this battle but is the battle only you have to fight to raise the banner of victory.
 Kill the fear in you that limit you of what you can do.
