FEAR IS A SPIRIT

TEXT. 2 Timothy 1:7.

 *_For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind_ .* 

Man is quick in collecting stuffs that God is not giving, where as, he is slow at receiving what He is giving. One of the things God has not given us is spirit of Fear. He said He has not given us the spirit of fear. 

 *FEAR IS A SPIRIT. And it is not from God: it's from the devil.* Fear is an enemy of faith and will stop the power of God from working in your life. 

Now, instead of Fear, God is offering us three things :

 *1. Spirit of power:* Specifically miraculous power. That is, power for performing miracles. "And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.(Matthew 10:1). This power is only given to disciples, ARE YOU A DISCIPLE OF CHRIST? 

 *2. Spirit of Love* : *There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear: because fear has torment. He that fears is not made perfect in love.* 1John 4:18.

 *3. Spirit of Sound mind* : That is, Grace for sound judgements and abilities that result in calm, well -balanced mind and self -control. 

These are the things God has given us not the spirit of fear. 

Generally, fear is considered as 

 F-ake

E-vidence 

A-ppearing 

R-eal.

A number of times, what the devil is using to incapacitate men is this fake evidence. The only weapon the Lord has given us against fear is His word. Get rooted in His words. 

 *Fear not for I am with you :do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you : I will help you : I will hold on to you with my righteous hand. Isaiah 41:10.*

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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

BEWARE OF DOGS

Text :  Philippians 3:2. Beware of the dogs! Beware of the evil workers! Beware of the mutilators! Usually, when you see the inscription "BEWARE OF DOGS", you instantly know there's a wild or trained dog around the corner, hence, the need to beware.  However, when God says 'Beware of dogs,' He wasn't actually referring to dogs as in 'animals' but to animals in human skin. Note that this caution was given to believers against other so-called  believers.  That is, some people within the church that we refer to as brothers and sisters are actually operating in the capacity of dogs.Though fellow worshippers in the church are called brothers and sisters, but if they behave like wild animals, know that they are dogs in humans skin- BEWARE. Matthew  7:6 says *Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.*  Essentially, dogs don't have capacity to r...
