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.
