FOCUS
In this series of we are going to be looking at enemies of faith. Once an enemy is discovered, it becomes a toothless bulldog. The first enemy we are looking at, is fear. Fear is when you are afraid of uncertainty, of what you don’t know. Faith is a force and a spirit. Fear is also a spirit and it takes the spirit of faith to drive out fear.
If you are not going to live in fear, you must be conscious of the fact that, the people with you are more than the people in the world no wonder David said; if God be for us who can be against us. The presence of God is the absence of fear. God wants us to live in faith and not in fear. Little faith, little fear, strong faith , no fear. Big fear, ni faith. You have to decide what you want to do that, you are not going to give yourself to fear.
When you are fearful then you are faithless. It take faith to live a life of peace and joy and it takes great great faith to subdue fear. Sometimes in life, you may think you have faith but check your fear level.
LESSON
Psalms 23:4
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
Where you see fear, God is not there and where you see faith, God is there. God is mindful of His children and He has assured us to always be there for us. When we are not conscious of His presence, the enemy takes over our mind to walk in fear and when we are walking in fear, God is not with us but when we walk in faith, then God is with us.
I want you to x-ray your life this morning and ask yourself, is God with me? Fear is anything appearing real but not sure. Get rid of fear and fill your life with faith. Fear has torment, faith has hope. When you don’t know what to do, you get into big trouble but when you know with to do, then you discover that your path becomes brighter and that is the only way to test if your faith is real.
A wise man said; where God is, fear doesn’t stay there. Ignorance feeds on faith and knowledge is the food for faith. Anywhere you see fear, there’s ignorance if knowledge there and knowledge is knowledge you consciously ignore. Don’t forget, you are an overcomers, say no to fear and yes to faith.
