OVERCOME FEAR

OVERCOME FEAR Fear is a deceptive tool used by satan that has robbed millions of a victorious life in Christ Jesus. For fear changes focus on God. It is a forceful wind that is capable of changing man’s position. One moment you’re on course, the next, you’re sinking. Remember Peter. Peter wanted to walk on water. One moment, he was on course – “Yes, I’m saved; Jesus is my Saviour. I’m healed; Jesus is my Healer. I’m redeemed…” All he had to do was to continue to look forward to the One who had conquered fear for him, the One who had conquered his past – Jesus Christ. But the next moment he was sinking. We cannot make spiritual progress by looking back. Peter was sinking because of fear, anxiety, insecurity and worry. These were the things that constituted his past. Our Lord, Jesus Christ has warned us against going back to the world and flesh. He has warned us against looking back to the world we had already renounced. He has warned us to avoid looking at the situation in the natural, as we once did for Jesus Christ has conquered all the forces of hell and death for our sake. So, what is your business with fear? Jesus Christ has overcome! “There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love” (1 John 4:18).
