HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR
Memorise
Thou
shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by
day. Psalms 91:5
Read
Psalms
91:1-9,
1 He
that dwelleth in the secret place of the most high shall abide under the shadow
of the Almighty.
2 I
will say of the Lord, He is my
refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of
the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He
shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his
truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou
shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by
day;
6 Nor
for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that
wasteth at noonday.
7 A
thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it
shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only
with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most
High, thy habitation;
KJV
MESSAGE
God has a
reservoir of power to protect His children each time they are in trouble. This
is why there is nothing as good as making God the source of your power. God is
the most secure place to keep your life. There are many conflicts in this
world, there are many happenings that cause fear but we are sure and confident
of our victory through the blood that was shed on the cross of Calvary. God is
the one who can deliver us from all the dangers of life when we trust in Him.
God is the Secret Place that keeps one from the enemy. I decree into your life;
those who want to attack you will fall into destruction in Jesus’ name. Those
who put their trust in God have nothing to fear.
As far as God
is concerned, fear is not allowed for His children. You cannot have God as your
father and live in fear, because the spirit of fear is not part of your destiny
as a child of God. Your portion is the spirit of boldness and a sound mind.
Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego did not give in to fear because they knew that
the God they serve will never let them down and they demonstrated this boldness
before the King and all the people by not bowing before the image of the King.
They
overcame their fear with their conviction in the Almighty God. The King made
the furnace seven times hotter, yet they were not afraid, neither did they
change their minds, because they knew God will wait for them inside the fiery
furnace. For a reader of this devotional, I prophecy into your life; all those
arrows that the enemies are throwing in order to put fear into your heart shall
lead to your promotion in Jesus’ name. When it appears that you are dropping
and about to hit the ground, just remember that His everlasting hand is writing
to lift you up.
The children of Israel were afraid of the giants in the land they were to possess. They saw themselves as grasshoppers before the giants because they suddenly forgot that the same God that opened a path for them to cross through the red sea was the same God that wanted them to overrun the land. You need to trust God and never doubt His promises. The moment you doubt God, you are challenging His ability and existence. Those who doubt God usually pay for it and it is not always pleasant. As chicks flee for safety under the wings of the hen, so must we run to the protection of God. There are numerous dangers around, but we know that the God we serve and the power in His Word delivers us from all dangers and fears. As we set our minds on Him, all those things that cause us to worry are taken care of. He will give answers to pressing prayers. He will deliver those who are threatened with different kinds of trouble. He will give you long life by keeping you in perfect health. This is why I want to tell a user of this devotional whose medical report indicates a limited time to live; the Almighty God will change such report in your favour in Jesus ‘name.
