Conquering Your Fear

“I have killed lions and bears, and I will do the same to this heathen Philistine, who has defied the army of the living God.” 1Samuel 17:36(GNB)

When you conquer the fear within, you conquer the challenge without. Someone said FEAR is Fake Evidence Appearing Real. The strength of your fear is the strength you give it.

Let me share with you five anchors to conquer the fear within.
1.Your testimony: if God has helped you to kill a Lion before, He can help you to kill a Goliath now. The higher challenge is a sign that you have graduated. The testimony of yesterday came to establish your confidence to win against the challenges of tomorrow.
2. God’s promises: God has promised not to leave you or forsake you and His promises can never fail. So you are not alone.
3. Other People’s testimonies: God is not a respecter of person, what He does for others, He will do for you. Someone somewhere has been helped by God to conquer this same kind of challenge, God will also help you.
4. Thanksgiving: Maintain a thanksgiving attitude at all times. If you are praiseful you cannot be a prey.
5. Face the challenge: when you face your fear it will phase out. The fear you are not willing to confront, you cannot conquer. It is more risky not to take risk. Just as David moved to confront Goliath, move to confront your fear.1Sam 17:48

If you are reading this piece and have not given your life to Christ, I encourage you to repent from your sin and accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord. He will give you a new life.

You are more than conquerors says the Lord.

Just a minute....

He replied, "If the LORD won't help you, what help can I provide? Do I have any wheat or wine? What's your trouble?" She answered, "The other day this woman here suggested that we eat my child, and then eat her child the next day. So we cooked my son and ate him. The next day I told her that we would eat her son, but she had hidden him!" 2Kings 6:27-29.

Don’t do something funny, your miracle is at hand! The woman in our text ate her son two days before the miracle happened. Two days after she ate her son, abundance came to Samaria by divine intervention. God helped the land.

Beloved, God will help you. Don’t bow to ungodly pressure. If you will not bow, you will not burn. God is never too late. Devil has a way of using contrary situations to harass people but if you will hold tight to God and His promises, He will give you a miracle. The story of this woman is similar to that of Saul in 1Samuel 13. When Saul saw that the people had scattered, he offered the sacrifice that Samuel should offer. Samuel arrived as he was finishing and that cost Saul the kingdom. A minute of patience can land you into your miracle while a minute of wrong action can be grossly expensive.

As I close this message, I prophesy that the best of this year shall come to you for God has reserved the best for the last.
Receive His Grace in Jesus name.

Jesus will heal you

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Act 10:38.

Sickness, diseases and infirmities are the work of the devil in the life of a man; but they are destroyed by the anointing of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus.

We had two crusades in the last two weekends and we saw the power of God manifesting to liberate people as usual but in an unusual dimension. In one of the meetings the power of God fell on a young lady who had infirmities as I was preaching. I did not lay hands on her but the power of God set her free. This tells me that God will locate you if you believe Him.

Beloved, you can ask the power of the Holy Spirit to flow into your body right now and heal you. It is the will of God for you to be in good health and when we pray in His will, we are confident that He hears us.
I decree that every sickness should depart from your body in Jesus name.
Have a blessed day.
