Unhealthy fears

Unhealthy fears

For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind. (II Timothy 1:7, NKJV)

Most of the things we fear are actually more of shadows than realities. The psalmist said though he walked through the valley of the shadow of death, he feared no evil. Why? God was with him. While some fears are healthy, others could be harmful. For example, the fear that does not allow us to touch a live wire, or jump down from the fifteenth floor of a skyscraper is healthy.

However the fear that wants us to keep our egos safe at all costs, tells us to stay small, to believe that we can’t go higher, not to ask for too much, or tells us to ‘cut off’ those who dislike us or who don’t share our belief systems, is harmful.

With Christ and the word of God in you, you should have nothing to fear. But without Christ and God’s word in you, you have a lot of reasons to fear. This is because you are not in agreement with God. Fear is a good signal that you are not moving in agreement with God.

When a man’s life is taken over by fear, he doesn’t do anything right. Neither can he travel far in the journey of destiny. So, pray for more confidence in God and yourself; and be productive. Feed your faith everyday with God’s word as doing so automatically starves your unbelief to death. I pray; the tree of fear in you shall wither to its root. In Jesus name!

Today’s corporate prayer: Confess this – ‘Fear’, I don’t fear you. You cannot stop me for God’s seed is in me. I have daily victory over you in my spiritual life, finances, ministry, work, marriage, and career. In Jesus mighty name!
