OVERCOMING THE SPIRIT OF FEAR

God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power,  love and sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7).

Fear can either draw you close to God, in awesome reference of His majesty or drain your confidence from appearing before His court, because you feel you have been cut off from His friendship due to sin or lies of the devil. The devil's trick is to keep you at bay from drawing near to God in order to play havoc with your soul. He also wants to cripple your will and drive to reach forth and pursue your dreams, by making you to believe that your efforts will not pay off. Fear will make you to think impossibility and assume a fruitless effort in pursuing your dreams.

However,  God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power,  love and sound mind (2 Tim. 1:7). Hence,  to overcome your fear, you need to be a FRIEND of God. The Bible says that the wicked runs when no one pursues but the righteous is as bold as a lion (Proverbs 28:1). Your mission in life,  your tomorrow and your vision are most secured when you are in God's company.  You also need to FEAST on the word of God.  The Bible says that faith comes by hearing,  hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17). What you hear can either rev up your faith or level down your confidence. The more scripture you feast on,  the stronger and wiser you are to laugh off the tricks of the devil to enslave your soul.

When you walk with the fearless, you tend to be fearless. Fearlessness is a contagious spirit. So also is fear. Hence,  you need to FELLOWSHIP with the fearless who disregard the devil's trick to cripple them from rising to stardom. The mighty men of David were a fearless company of solders who were highly formidable and were willing to stick out their neck for King David. They were willing to jeopardise their lives to accomplish the extraordinary. Hence,  I pray as you choose to become the friend of God, by living a holy life,  feasting on the word of God and fellowshipping with the sons and daughters of the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, may you be unstoppable as you persevere to reach your goal in Jesus name.
