Fearless

By

“Then the Lord turned… said, “Go with the strength you have, and rescue Israel… I am sending you!” “But Lord,” Gideon replied, “how can I rescue Israel? My clan is the weakest in the whole tribe of Manasseh, and I am the least in my entire family!” Judge.6:14-15

The hero is just the coward that held on five minutes longer. Courage is a habit and you can develop it. The only person who has never fallen is the person who has never walked. Do not be afraid of falling. The question usually on a lot of people’s minds is what if I try and it does not work? Big deal! Get up again. Fear is based on exaggeration while faith is based on inspiration [God's Word that has exploded in your mind]. You need to be courageous. Everybody that is fearful is courageous; they just don’t know it but they are courageous in the negative direction.

The people that are fearful for instance in Nigeria, and are running away to other countries in search of greener pastures, are actually exhibiting courage. It takes courage to plunge into the unknown. But like Naomi, after it is all said and done they will come back because Nigeria is the country to be in. There is no dishonor in falling; so why are you afraid to fall? The only dishonor is in failing to get up again after the fall. Yes you wrote the exam but you did not pass. Go back and do it again. I see you breaking every curse in your life courageously and walking into your destiny courageously in the Mighty Name of Jesus.

I will illustrate the corridor principle with this story. A research was done using a series of MBA students as the case study. And they discovered that irrespective of the cost and time spent doing the program, only ten percent of every class go out to start a business and are successful. And the conclusion was, the people that did not step out didn’t step out because of the fear of failure. And not one out of the people that stepped out was even sure. But they took the chance and became successful.

Andy Stanley puts it this way; “Fear often disguises itself behind the mask of care. Fearful people often excuse their fear as caution”. While there is nothing wrong with taking calculated risks, a lot of people disguise their fear as calculated risk. All the people that stepped out and became successful said the amazing success they encountered was not in the direction they initially set out to get. So success almost always they say, comes from a different direction than anticipated. The key is commitment to take action.

Prayer: Father, I ask for the grace to walk on water even as I keep my eyes on You, in Jesus Name.

THEME: RETREAT TO REFRESH READ: Matt. 11:25-30 When some musicians want to release great songs, they retreat to secluded places where they can reflect, meditate and create. Some choose places overlooking the vast oceans, some choose where there are waterfalls, and some choose places with thick forestations.  As they observe the beauty of nature, the swift moves and songs of the soaring birds, the colourful flowering vegetations, the serene beaches and the unending waves of the nearby waters, they capture inspiration that helps them develop the hit songs they have been longing for. I met one of the world’s renowned musicians in Atlanta, USA a few years ago where journalist surrounded him and were asking what he had come to do and why his beards had grown so much. He said that his last album did not perform well enough and he was incubating another one he wanted to release that would perform better. He said that he needed to pull away from the Noise of New York and California ...

A NEW MONTH OF DIVINE ANNOUNCEMENT

By
But the angel said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his name John. Luke 1:13 The Bible is replete of records on how God announced some events before they finally happened. Because you made it into the new Month, God will specially announce you in Jesus name.  Whenever God want to do something unusual, He first of all announce it, for instance, when He wanted to delivered the children of Israelite from the hand of the philistine whom He has delivered them to, He sent an angel to break the new to the parent of the deliverer - Samson. Judges 13.  When God wanted to turn the hearts of men back to Himself, He sent angel Gabriel to announced the birth of John the Baptist to his father, Zacharias. Also when God was fully ready for the redemption of man, He first announced it to the one whose body His only begotten Son, Jesus Christ will pass through to the earth. Luke 1:26-38. That was the...

Nothing To Do, Only Believe By Joseph Prince

By
Daily Grace Inspirations Thursday 11th August 2016 …“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” Jesus answered and said to them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” - John 6:28–29 When I was a young Christian, I attended a seminar on what we must do to “work the works of God”. I was told that we had to pray more, fast more, know our enemy and so on. I came away from the seminar confused. Then one day, I found the same question in the Bible. But the answer was very different! In the Gospel of John, we find Jesus being asked the same question by the multitude who had been awed by His miracles—“What shall we do, that we may work the works of God?” The people had seen Jesus healing the sick, and feeding 5,000 men with only five loaves and two fish. Notice how Jesus answered them: “This is the work of God, that you believe in Him whom He sent.” My friend, the greatest doing is believing—believing in Jesus the sent one, who has done it all ...
