DO NOT FEAR THEIR FEAR 

By Rev Michael Benson Ajayi 

Isaiah 8:12

" Say ye not, A confederacy, to all them to whom this people shall say, A confederacy; neither fear ye their fear, nor be afraid."

  Fear is the enemy's weapon of choice to keep God's people from attaining their full potentials. He employs it through three tactics , Manipulation, Intimidation and Oppression . These are the tools with which people get enslaved to man-made religion, cults , bad governance , abusive marriages etc.  

   Fear is a powerful emotion, yet the Bible provides numerous examples of individuals who overcame fear through faith in God. King David, Jonathan, and the early disciples exemplify this courage.

King David faced immense fear when confronting Goliath, yet he declared, "The Lord who rescued me from the paw of the lion and the paw of the bear will rescue me from the hand of this Philistine" (1 Samuel 17:37). His unwavering faith in God allowed him to face a giant without fear.

Jonathan, the son of King Saul, also demonstrated fearlessness. Despite his father's hostility toward David, Jonathan remained loyal to his friend, trusting God's plan. He declared to David, "Whatever you want me to do, I'll do for you" (1 Samuel 20:4). Jonathan's courage in standing against his own father for the sake of righteousness showcases a profound trust in God's justice.

The early disciples, after Jesus' ascension, faced persecution but continued to spread the Gospel fearlessly. When threatened by the authorities, Peter and John responded, "We cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard" (Acts 4:20). Their boldness was rooted in their conviction and the empowerment of the Holy Spirit.

These biblical figures teach us that true courage stems from faith in God's promises. By trusting in Him, we can confront our fears and remain steadfast in our mission.

  In your daily prayers , bind the spirit of fear from your family and declare 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."

Prayer: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive the Holy Spirit and power to overcome fear.
