How have you been? Slaying your goals fearlessly I suppose? What challenges are you facing that is keeping you from following through with your resolutions? You know you can always share right? Yeah, you can.... I'm here for you 😄
How did you feel about the title of today's post? Do you agree with me?
Well, maybe you can answer that when I'm done.
************
To our gist for today,
Just like you have your hands, legs, head, etc "fear" is part of the package. You remember David's song in the book of psalm? "I bless you lord for I am FEARFULLY and Wonderfully made"
So you see? Fear is part of the package.
God knows our abilities as human beings created in His own image, so He knows man can achieve anything. He had to include fear to guide us and also prevent us from threading a path that could destroy us. This is why there are things you don't easily jump at no matter how fearless you are.
Fear had to be there so we can depend on Him and trust Him for our safety. It is His way of drawing us back to Himself... This is why Solomon said "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man"
Ecc 12:13
Why am I saying this?
Fear is not going anywhere! Yeah I said that...
But then, this is why we need to master how fear works so that whenever we're faced with it we can handle it. Fear has so many shades and this is why when you feel you have dealt with fear of public speaking, what of fear of success or failure? Or fear of taking decisions? Or letting go of the past? Or taking big steps? Etc.
Fear mastery starts with the fear of God. If you fear God you'll be able to trust Him for safety and you also gain boldness, power and sound mind.
2 Tim 1:7 says "for He has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power and of love and of a sound mind"
This sounds contradictory right? "He has not given us the spirit of fear".....i'll explain. When you come into a relationship with God and then begin to reverence (Him) as a father and a friend. He puts His spirit within you and that spirit of God in you enables you to live powerfully and fearlessly because God Himself is Fearless. If you carry His spirit in you, you should be as fearless as He is.
We have the ability to dominate and rule this earth, that was God's plan from creation and you can't fully access this power on your own without the spirit of God empowering you to rise and reign.
Having started a relationship with God, you proceed to "renew your mind".... This has to do with replacing unhealthy beliefs that's not in line with the word of God with healthy beliefs. You begin to think on things that are true, honest, just, pure, lovely, of good report, virtuous, praise, positive, empowering, etc.
So when you have these thoughts handy, you can always deal with fear when it shows up.
I hope you learnt one or two things from this post?
If you did, let me know please.
Do have a great weekend and live fearlessly.
Love you large!
