There is a tale about someone questioning Mr. Death
why he’s always going about killing people mercilessly. He replied, “80% of the
time, people die because of fear of death.” Countless numbers of people have
died whether physically, emotionally or mentally because of fear. Many young
believers are dying today because of fear.
In the case of brother Job, Satan was granted
permission to do what he wanted by Job. In Job 3:25, Job said, “For the thing
which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come
unto me.” Job’s fearful life gave the devil a freeway to penetrate into his
home and do some major damages.
Fear is the one of the main strategies that the
devil uses in crippling the destinies of believers. We are living in an age of
fear; fear of poverty; fear of sickness; fear of the unknown; fear of death;
fear of failure, etc. However, I need you to understand that fear is not of God
but of Satan, 2 Tim 1:7 says, “For God hath not given us the spirit of fear;
but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
I used to be a professional “fearer” until God
opened my eyes to understand that fear kills. Fear of the Egyptians made the
Israelites lose sight of who brought them thus far. Uncle David said in Psa
23:4 that, “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.” I get so worried when I see believers walking about in fear.
Fear is a spirit which should never be entertained
because your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. I need you to get a
revelation of your right in Christ and stop fidgeting at every little thing.
Take your stand in Christ against whatever fear the devil brings your way. Sir,
you can all things through Christ. Shalom!
