Topic: How to Overcome Fear
[Wednesday 31, August 2016]
Memorise: Thou shalt not be afraid for
the terror by night; nor for the arrow
that flieth by day; – Psalms 91:5
Read: Psalms 91:1-9 (KJV)
Bible Passage below
1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
2 I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.
3 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.
4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day;
6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.
7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8 Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold
and see the reward of the wicked.
9 Because thou hast made the LORD,
which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
Bible in One Year: Jeremiah 7:30-9:26, Psalms 45
MESSAGE:
God has a reservoir of power to protect
His children each time they are in
trouble. This is why there is nothing as
good as making God the source of your
power. God is the most secure place to
keep your life. There are many conflicts
in this world, there are many
happenings that cause fear but we are
sure and confident of our victory
through the blood that was shed on the
cross of Calvary. God is the one who
can deliver us from all the dangers of
life when we trust in Him. God is the
Secret Place that keeps one from the
enemy. I decree into your life; those who
want to attack you will fall into
destruction in Jesus’ name. Those who
put their trust in God have nothing to
fear.
As far as God is concerned, fear is not
allowed for His children. You cannot
have God as your father and live in fear,
because the spirit of fear is not part of
your destiny as a child of God. Your
portion is the spirit of boldness and a
sound mind. Shedrach, Meshach and
Abednego did not give in to fear because
they knew that the God they serve will
never let them down and they
demonstrated this boldness before the
King and all the people by not bowing
before the image of the King. They
overcame their fear with their conviction
in the Almighty God. The King made the
furnace seven times hotter, yet they
were not afraid, neither did they change
their minds, because they knew God will
wait for them inside the fiery furnace.
For a reader of this devotional, I
prophecy into your life; all those arrows
that the enemies are throwing in order
to put fear into your heart shall lead to
your promotion in Jesus’ name. When it
appears that you are dropping and
about to hit the ground, just remember
that His everlasting hand is waiting to
lift you up.
The children of Israel were afraid of the
giants in the land they were to possess.
They saw themselves as grasshoppers
before the giants because they suddenly
forgot that the same God that opened a
path for them to cross through the red
sea was the same God that wanted them
to overrun the land. You need to trust
God and never doubt His promises. The
moment you doubt God, you are
challenging His ability and existence.
Those who doubt God usually pay for it
and it is not always pleasant. As chicks
flee for safety under the wings of the
hen, so must we run to the protection of
God. There are numerous dangers
around, but we know that the God we
serve and the power in His Word
delivers us from all dangers and fears.
As we set our minds on Him, all those
things that cause us to worry are taken
care of. He will give answers to pressing
prayers. He will deliver those who are
threatened with different kinds of
trouble. He will give you long life by
keeping you in perfect health. This is
why I want to tell a user of this
devotional whose medical report
indicates a limited time to live; the
Almighty God will change such report in
your favour in Jesus’name.
Prayer Point: Father, I receive victory
over every fear and doubt in my life in
Jesus’ name.
