FEAR HAS TORMENT


Text: 1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear,: because fear has torment. He that fears us not made perfect in love_ . 

Fear of danger or anything  actually kills faster than the actual danger. Some years back when I  was in the secondary school,  one mischievous boy caused a great deal of trouble to the whole school. 

From the blues, he just started shouting snake!  snake!! snake!!! Immediately everybody started running helter skelter.  One of the students jumped through the glass window and got seriously injured. Some others got head injuries, leg injuries and so on. Other students who didn't even hear the guy nor knew the reason for the pandemonium just blindly joined in the wild race. 

In less than a minute,  I happened to be the only one left in the class. Not that I was not scared but I wanted to see the snake so I could run in the right direction. Later when some level of calmness was restored,  it turned out that there was no snake after all,  the guy was just playing an expensive prank. 

I'm sure you can relate with that story.  And the story is so true to a number of fears that we nurse. The truth is, fear is a bondage. (Romans 8:15, Hebrews 2:15). God has not given us the spirit of bondage again to fear. 

Fear is essentially a spirit, hence you need to deal with it with in the word of God and in the place of prayer. Once you have the understanding that it is a spirit,  you will be able to deal with it effectively. For God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.(2 Tim 1:7) 

If God has not given us the spirit of fear,  then it is from the devil. When fear of anything enters into your heart,  get the word of God that counter such fear and cast out the spirit in the name of Jesus.  

Do not fight fear in your thought. Speak out the word to counter any projection of fear into your mind. 

Every torment of fear comes to an end in your life today in the name of Jesus. 

Bible reading: 1 Samuel 17:1-11

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

IN MY NAME.

Text : Mark 16:17-18  And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Having believed in the gospel (Good news of the resurrection of Jesus and His victory over Sin, Satan and Death), you now need to start using the name of Jesus authoritatively. JESUS said that in His name you shall cast out devils; you shall speak with new tongues; you shall take up serpents; and if you drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt you; you shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. This means that you will undertake all these in the authority of Jesus' name. No matter how small or powerless you may think you are in your own eyes. Once you believe in His name, you shall do all that He promised.   Unbelief was the sin that Israelites committed that wasted a whol...
