Scripture Reading: Matthew 10:28

“Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; but rather be afraid of Him who can destroy both soul and body in hell.”(AMP)

The above scripture explained how Jesus counsel and empowering the twelve disciples before sending them forth. And most importantly, to Fear not because FEAR is the spirit of weakness from the pit of hell and if permitted, failure will be the end of the journey. For few days now, we have been able to looked at the effects of fear in our lives as believers and we just concluded the causes of fear in our journey with God yesterday and today by God’s Grace, we shall begin to look at HOW TO CONQUER FEAR:

1) REALIZE THAT GOD IS WITH YOU:
People fear a lot of things. People fear about what the future brings, corrupt officials, illnesses, death, terrorist attacks, financial crisis, marital crisis, spiritual attack and the list goes on and on.

The problem with fear, when not controlled, may lead to spiritual growth retardation. Instead of moving forward with faith, you stay within your comfort zone. Isaiah 41:10 declare;
“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

2) TRUST IN GOD: Every time we are afraid, we must see it as an opportunity to surrender everything in God’s hands. We really can’t do anything about most things we fear. You can’t control terrorists from bombing shopping malls. You can’t prevent natural disasters from destroying your city. You can’t prevent death from knocking your door, Simon Peter couldn’t control it while walking on the Sea at the same time sinking. He had no choice to call on Jesus for help. This is the truth, there are many things that must happen which we won’t be able to control than calling on Jesus the master controller. Why can’t you just trust God for everything! Release yourself to His leading and receive perfect peace. To be continue tomorrow morning by God’s Grace. Good morning and happy Good Friday, peace

Prayer points: Holy Spirit, you’re the best controller of all circumstances. I cease to be in charge of all fruitless effort, take over from me else forth in Jesus Christ name. Amen!
