The Fight (The enemy within) - Part 2

Let us discuss on what these three great enemies can do.

FEAR…

FEAR is the greatest enemy that lives within you. An enemy you must overcome and many things are responsible for FEAR. It can be the FEAR of the unknown, the FEAR of the past or the FEAR of the now. FEAR rules in different ways.

FEAR is a distressing emotion aroused by impending evil, danger, hurts, pain…etc whether the threat is real or imagined.

Either your FEAR is real base on your experience or imagined, you need to come to a place of decision to FIGHT. You have to FIGHT your way out. Is it the FEAR of proposing to that lady? Is it the FEAR that no body will value your product or project? Is it the FEAR of any thing or any one? FIGHT!

The challenge is not the object or the situation or the situation you are afraid of – the challenge is YOU. It’s a choice; you can be a victim or a victor to your FEAR.

This is a conscious decision you have to make but in FIGHTING your FEARS, you must approach the FEAR with the right weapon. The first step to that is CLARITY AND SPECIFICATION.

What is your FEAR? Do you know what you are really afraid of? Do you understand what you are afraid of? Do you acknowledge that you are a victim to your own FEAR? Do you know you were the one that enthroned your FEAR to rule you? Yes! You are guilty? It’s either your choice or your fault.

The greatest influence that empowers your FEAR is your own ignorance. When you know what your FEAR is, the situation is 50% solved. When you now discover who you are in Christ, the situation is 80% solved. When you believe and function I this truth, the situation is 100% solved.

In other words, the first step is, have the knowledge of what you are afraid of and stay conscious of who you are in Christ. If you know the necessary knowledge, you won’t be afraid of the situation.

The greatest strength of FEAR is assumption. Don’t assume and imagine; ask questions and get to know what you are up against.

Take your time to know what the nature of the FEAR. Take your time to know why you are afraid. Take your time to know how the FEAR came into your life. Then get to know what the word of God have to say about it.

LIFE IS NOT ALL ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCE OR WHAT YOU FEEL. LIFE IS A TOTAL SUM OF WHAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN TO BELIEVE.

YOUR FEARS ARE ACTUALLY YOUR OWN OPPORTUNITY.

You need a specific knowledge to defeat a specific FEAR. The word of the Lord is the great weapon and report to hold on to because this is the FIGHT of FAITH; the FIGHT where the word of God becomes your defense and your standard for living.

Confront your FEAR with the knowledge of what the word of God says and your FEARS will submit to you. Don’t define your future base on your feelings and experience. I know some of these things are real while some are just assumption BUT choose to FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT OF FAITH.

FIGHT with the word of God and defeat your self with the word of God. The knowledge of the word of God is the weapon and victory over your FEARS.

Your FEARS should not keep you away from God and His word rather – run to what God’s word have to say about your FEARS. Your FEARS does not exist even if you feel it, it’s your lack of knowledge that makes it real.

WORRIES...

Another enemy in you, proudly sponsored and enthroned by you is WORRY.

What is WORRY?

This is being worried; this is when you are tormenting your self with disturbing thoughts that are either real or imagined.

The greatest influence that sponsors WORRIES in your life is your inability to understand your self. Being worried capitalizes on your lack of understanding.

Your WORRIES do not exist even if you feel it or see it. What empowered your WORRIES and what enthrones it is your lack of understanding.

This is principle of life. When you lack the understanding of your self and the situation around you; YOU MUST GET WORRIED. Being worried does not mean it is real but it means you don’t have the understanding required.

Being worried is an invitation to get more understanding about the situation involved. So the FIGHT is the pursuit for understanding.

Giving attention to the situation or what you are worried about identifying how the WORRY started or what triggered it. Then give attention to who you are in Christ. Doing this gives you the edge to FIGHT and overcome WORRIES.

Being worried is not a one time FIGHT but a constant FIGHT in each phase of life but one weapon will always defeat it. Your weapon is the understanding of what the word of God says.

If you understand what the word of God says, you will know how to conquer the WORRIES surrounding you.

If you can’t defeat your FEARS, you will never be able to defeat your WORRIES. In other words, it is the knowledge of Gods word in you that gives you an opportunity to pursue the understanding of God’s word.

Being worried about any thing should not in any way separate you from your relationship with God. You need to allow your self to be triggered into a close relationship with God via your WORRIES.

Study the word of God with the aim of understanding God’s word, and your WORRIES. Then understand what Gods word wants you to do about the situation.

If you have to pray – let your prayer points be channeled towards gaining clarity and understand about your self, the WORRIES and what Gods word would want YOU TO DO.
