OVERCOMING FEAR

BY: JUDAH OLATUNDE

1 John  4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Fear has not only caused men too much trouble, it has also incapacitated lives and destinies, it has also crippled many great potentials and rendered many useless and powerless. This is the reason we need to know how to overcome fear and walk in faith.

HOW TO OVERCOME FEAR:
MEDITATION OF THE WORD: Nothing transforms your believe like meditation. Fear dwells in both the soul and spirit realm of man and what your meditation of the word does is to transfer your thoughts from the carnal nature of man into the spiritual nature of God. This in turn changes your believe into an active faith which is void of fear.

When doubt is present in a man's life, it is a sign that what the word you have been thinking is either inadequate or insufficient or wrong.

WALK IN LOVE: Many really have love but are not walking in it. Someone may ask, "Judah, Is it possible to have love and not walk in love?" Yes, it is.
The same way you can have money and decide not to spend it, the same way you can have water and decide not to drink it. This is the same way you can have love and not walk in it.

If you don't want your life and destiny to be ruined by fear, you must have love and be ready to walk in it. It is only perfect love that has the capacity to cast out fear and your love can't be a perfect one until it is expressed seeing that love is not in words but in action. It is your actions that gives credence to the genuineness of your love.

*Insights For Today: The word of God burns out timidity and cowardice and burns in ruggedity and ferocity.*

*Prayer: Dear Lord, I thank you for your word unto me today, I ask that you give unto me the grace to be diligent enough to take in your word consistently and also put my love to work in Jesus name. Keep walking by faith*
