FEAR NOT!

“For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.”
Job 3:25
Main Text:

Job was a righteous man, he feared God, he shunned evil, he was the wealthiest man in all the East. However, he had one fear and that deep down secret fear was what was about to ruin him. He was a prosperous man, however, he wasn’t secure in his prosperity. He had premonitions about the coming days of adversity, he feared he might lose his family and properties one day.

 

Most times, we are carried away with our own fears, we ask ourselves questions if we are deserving of God’s blessing, we worried that one day we might lose our business to the hardship in the economy, we tend to forget 1 Peter 5:7 “Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully” God doesn’t want you to worry, He desires to give you all things richly to enjoy. (1 Tim. 6:17)

God’s plan for you has always been that you live in perfect peace. God is vehemently against worry, it does not produce anything but stress, strain and death. Jesus preached against it, Paul preached against it, Peter likewise.

The Bible is against fear because Satan designed it. Jesus loves you, and wants you to enjoy your prosperity without worry!

Confession: I am the body of Christ and Satan has no power over me, I overcome evil with good, I am of God and have overcome Satan. The Greater One abides within me therefore; I will fear no evil for thou art with me! I am far from oppression and fear does not come near me! I am blessed.

Further Reading: Phil 4:6 “Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.”

John 14:1 “DO NOT let your hearts be troubled (distressed, agitated). You believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely on God; believe in and adhere to and trust in and rely also on Me.” (AMP)

Read through the Bible: 2 Samuel 23 and Galatians 3
