FEAR!


Let’s talk about this silent but very loud topic

It looks like majority have that one thing they fear the most such that if I ask the question “What is that one thing you fear the most?” There’d be so many comments either typed out or not😀

Note: by fear, I mean negative emotions concerning an outcome of a matter.
So let’s deal with it once and for all! Seen so many definitions in form of acronyms to this word called FEAR but I’m not here for that, just here to talk about what I believe it does in a person’s life.

Fear is bad emotions; the devil is a bad devil and anything defined as “bad” is his domain. So, once you allow fear have a grip on you, you are literally in the domain of the devil. Fear simply is a ticket to the devil for free entrance into your affairs. 

Know this today and know peace, the devil can’t have access to your life without you allowing him with your thoughts, words and actions.
‬
Why? Because, as a believer, you have been given power over every device of the enemy and nothing shall by any means hurt you. You are seated high above principalities, powers of the enemy. See! E plenty! You need to actually feed on the word to see and understand your identity. The enemy has already been defeated thousands of years ago and the victory has been given to us. The only way the devil can penetrate is by access and that first starts with him making you forget or rather making you stay ignorant of your identity in God through Christ which he did to Eve..Satan’s patterns are the same, there is really no new “trick”

Once you forget your identity, fear becomes a regular visitor which can end up overstaying it’s welcome.

Job was seen as a very righteous man but there was an opening in his life which gave the enemy an opportunity to get into his affairs. The thing that Job feared most came upon him
“What I always feared has happened to me. What I dreaded has come true.” Job‬ ‭3:25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

God allowed all that happened to him to happen to him for him to fear(reverence) only God who is able to save and deliver because, really the only “fear” you should have is fear of God which is really REVERENCE for Him😊


The next question then is how do I deal with fear when it wells up in me? Because that feeling will come up.

The beautiful thing about this God that we serve is that He has a way of escape for every thing that has ever occurred, is occurring or can occur……He’s never caught unawares😊😊😊😌😌😊@pastormildred says He is a proactive God☺️☺️☺️

Anyway, back to the koko….the Bible says: take the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (caused by fear) and also mentions how we should hand our burden/ yoke over to Him and take His because His is light. 

This is you recognizing that He is with you in that situation and everything will DEFINITELY work together for your good. 

And here is where FAITH comes in: a ticket to God having free access to your affairs. The Bible says you cannot please God without faith and that’s because God is a good God and everything about Him is good, He loveeeeeeeeesssssss to do good☺️☺️☺️. All He just wants is that YOU ALLOW HIM do good to you.

How do you do that? By trusting that God “gat this”✌🏾. He is your father, let Him “worry” about how it will all work together for your good, hand over that aspect to Him and take His yoke, His work, His assignments for you and you’ll see in the end that it indeed worked for your good.

So what do you do when you’re in a situation that gives you legitimate reasons to be fearful? Praise! Praise! Praise! God, because He’s the Almighty that can save you, not your works or your strength but by His spirit—-that way, you give Him free entrance to do as He pleases in your affairs. 
Praising God is magnifying Him over your situation. How does this change anything? First, the reason you’re fearful about a thing is because that thing is magnified above God in your mind and heart. So, when you raise a banner of praise to God, the “seeming” mountain becomes nothing to you and you then see God as the one in charge;not the situation.

I hope this has helped you in one way or another😊😊, and if you have more insights on this please drop it and let’s learn from one another😊😊😁😁😁

Some struggles I had to face (Part 1)

So this is no fiction, this is me!  There was a period in my life when I was involved with someone for selfish motives or perhaps I should say it was due to walking “out of purpose”. Unfortunately, I was like an unwittingly running project for the individual, and I was psychologically harmed as a result (not necessarily the person’s fault) . Oh my! It took years to recover. I wish I could give so many examples of mindsets that lingered for so long before I could eventually break off from them but I will give one for the sake of this piece.  There were instances when I wanted to put something out but was so worried about what people would think, what reactions I would get, and how I would handle it if I didn’t get the desired reactions (my mind was basically playing so many games in one field, hahaha )…… And guess what? Those posts never made it out. Why? Because my mindset was flawed and I was preoccupied with gaining acceptance from others. I asked myself “what was going on ...

It’s my Birthday!!

It's my Birthday 🎉🎉🎉🎉 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂👑👑👑👑 I’m so excited about this birthday and I honestly cannot say this is the one reason why. Funny thing is, I was in all forms of mood this past weeks/days. It has really been a roller coaster, but I’m grateful for it all because Adulthood is all forms of Expansion. Let’s even address the fact that as people get older, they sometimes are not so excited because they consider their achievements in line with their age. But yo! Se you know pe, if you don die, that achievement you dey think about go still “exist” without you. Don’t let the cares of this world choke the joy you should have in the new and next chapter of your life. See! It’s something to be happy and excited about: you still know your name, you have family, you have siblings that love you, you have friends that want the best for you, you have a cloth or two, you have a bed to sleep on daily, you have some cash for data, you have a phone that has access to the internet (there was a...
