FEAR NOT


FEAR NOT
Fear is a strong, uncontrollable, unpleasant emotion caused by actual or perceived danger or threat. As children of the Most High we shouldn’t fear. David said in Psalm 27 vs.1: The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? GOD’s strength is enough for us; we are to fear nothing. Many a time, situation and circumstances around us, bring fear to us. Many are scared and afraid of tomorrow. Many are afraid of confronting their problems. Many are afraid of the unknown. We shouldn’t be afraid, we shouldn’t fear; but rather praise GOD for we are fearfully and wonderfully made. Psalm 139 vs.14: I will praise thee, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. GOD didn’t give us the spirit of fear, but of power; and of love, and of sound mind. David was assured of this sound mind, he knew of a surety GOD was his light and salvation. No wonder he asked, whom shall I fear? Whom shall I be afraid? Fear demoralize, GOD hasn’t given us that spirit. He instead gave us power, love and sound mind. The disciples were afraid when a great storm of wind and waves beat into their ship. They woke up their Master JESUS, from his sleep. He arose and rebuked the wind and said unto the sea, peace be still. And immediately there was a great calm. Mark 4 vs. 39: And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. Vs. 40: And he said unto them, why are ye so fearful? How is it that ye have no faith? GOD expects us in challenges, difficulties, adversity, and storms to arise and rebuke them by faith, so there can be calmness. When in difficulties, challenges, and storms you are not to be afraid, rather believe of a surety it will pass away. The Psalmist says sorrow may last by night, but joy cometh in the morning. Isaiah 41 vs. 10: Fear thou not; for I am with thee, be not dismayed; for I am thy GOD. I will strengthen, yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness. GOD never leaves nor forsake His own; He is always there for them, come what may. He helps, strengthens and upholds them. Are you scared or afraid? Are you dismayed? Believe in GOD, for He is enough for you. It is well with us…

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES

WHEN YOUR SAMUEL COMES Hannah made a vowed which GOD honors and remembered her.   1 Samuel 1 vs. 19-20: And they rose up in the morning early, and worshipped before the LORD and returned and came to their house to Ramah; and Elkanah knew Hannah his wife; and the LORD remembered her. Wherefore it came to pass when the time was come about after Hannah had conceived that she bare a son, and called his name Samuel, saying because I have asked him of the LORD.      What a wonderful GOD! She asked for a man child and He gave her exactly. She should have asked for sets of twin or triplet, which GOD would have given her. There is nothing GOD cannot do, He cannot be limited. With Him all things are possible. Mind you Hannah fulfilled her vow by giving the son back to him. Many make vows and don’t fulfill it. Be conscious of these, GOD’s way are not the ways of men, His thoughts are not ours. GOD has his own timing. His timing doesn’t match with the timing of ...

TOLERANCE

TOLERANCE I start quoting Robert Green Ingersoll “Tolerance is giving every other human being every right that you claim for yourself ”. This is a virtue every man scarcely has nowadays. Men nowadays find it difficult to tolerate each other. In all religions, Christians are to exhibit tolerance the most; because CHRIST stated that it’s the second greatest commandment. Matthew 22 vs.38-39: This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. But the reverse is the case now, most Christians exhibit intolerance. They can’t tolerate their Christian brothers talk less of those outside their religion. This is awful and not so good. Hebrews 13 vs. 1-2: Let brotherly love continue. Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained angels unaware. Abraham exhibited tolerance, he suddenly noticed three men coming toward him and ran to meet them and welcomed them. He gave them water to wash their feet’s...

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES

WINNING THROUGH TESTIMONIES 2! An earthly father will be delighted and willing to do more for his son or daughter, when she/he shows gratitude. How will you feel when you give something tangible to a person and he didn’t show gratitude? You will feel unwilling to do more for such person. Our heavenly Father deserves to be shown gratitude for all He has done in our lives. Thank GOD for what He has done in the past, what He is doing presently and what He will do in the future. There is no little testimony; you just have to appreciate GOD for his faithfulness and marvelous deeds. Marvelous deeds like, the gift of life, which is the greatest of all blessings, good health and sound mind, sleeping and waking up. Many slept and never woke up, while many find it difficult to sleep. We have to see reasons to appreciate GOD; doing these will gladden Him to do more for us.              However, problems, trials, challenges might be in...
