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: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...

God Will Turn Your Life Around By Jerry Savelle

Jerry Savelle Ministries Daily Devotional Friday 12th August 2016 And the Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you shall be above only, and not be beneath, if you heed the commandments of the Lord your God, which I command you today, and are careful to observe them  - Deuteronomy 28:13 NKJV Many people suffer from feelings of rejection. All their lives they’ve been told things that have kept them down and held them back. Perhaps you are one of these people. Maybe you were told you’d never amount to anything. You may have been born into poverty and told you would always be poor. Or you may have been ridiculed and told that no one would ever love you. Although circumstances may make these statements appear to be factual, they are not the truth. If you go to the Bible, you’ll find out that God’s plans for you are always good. In fact, if you will put God at the center of your life, He will turn things around for you. If you allow it, God will take you from being b...
