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.*

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...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
