OVERCOMING FEAR

Memorise:
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. .. 2 Timothy 1:7

Read:
Isaiah 41:10-14

Message

Fear is one of the most common weapons the enemy uses to paralyze the children of God. It steals your peace, stunts your growth, and prevents you from stepping into your divine destiny. But the Bible tells us that God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Fear often arises when we look at our circumstances instead of looking at our God. When Peter looked at the waves, he began to sink; but as long as he looked at Jesus, he walked on water. To overcome fear, you must fix your eyes on the Almighty. Remember that the One who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.

God has promised to be with you always. He said, "Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God." When you have the assurance of God's presence, fear loses its grip. Whether you are facing a financial crisis, a health challenge, or an uncertain future, know that your Father is in control. He has a plan for you, and it is a plan of good and not of evil.

Use the Word of God to fight fear. When fearful thoughts come, replace them with the promises of God. Declare that you are a child of God and that no weapon formed against you shall prosper. As you fill your heart with faith, fear will have no place to stay.

RCCG Hymn

I'm pressing on the upward way

  1. I'm pressing on the upward way.
    New heights I'm gaining t'veryday;
    Still praying as I onward bound
    "Lord, plant my feet on higher ground."

    2. Lord, lift me up and let me stahd,
    liy faith, on Heaven's table-land;
    Where love, and joy, and light abound.
    Lord, plant my feet on higher ground.


  2. My heart has no desire to stay
    Where doubts arise, and fears dismay;
    Though some may dwell where these abound.
    My constant aim is higher ground.
  3. Beyond the mist I fain would rise.
    To rest beneath unclouded skies.
    Above earth's turmoil peace is found
    By those who dwell on higher ground.
  4. I long to scale the utmost height.
    Though rough the way, and hard the fight.
    My song, while climbing, shall resound
    Lord, lead me on to higher ground.
  5. Lord, lead me up the mountain side
    I dare not climb without my Guide;
    And, heaven gained, I'll gaze around.
    With grateful heart from higher ground.
