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. 19 We love him, because he first loved us.
Daily in our journey through life so many situations have made themselves Goliath and are trying to challenge our freedom in Christ. They serve as hindrances and distractions to proceed and focus in our assignment. The faster we get them down the faster we move closer to our destination. Do unto them before they do unto you; if you don't disgrace your Goliath he will continue to embarrass you. He uses fears and threats to paralyse his victims and for you to disgrace him, you need extra ordinary confidence in God. Our confidence in God is in levels depending on the level of your relationship with Him. whatever you are afraid of has become a Goliath; so many know exactly what to do but the fear of failure will not allow them to take steps; if David was busy meditating on the sizes and height of Goliath he would not have been able to disgrace him. Those who have the if i perish i perish mentality are the giant killer. They have the belief that God will cushion them; that even if they fall they will have a safe landing because God is their safety net. they are aware of the overwhelming presence of God in their lives. He that is with you is a mighty terrible one; the enemies are not seeing you, they are seeing the one inside of you and He will scare the hell out of them. But the one inside you can only be provoked to act on your behalf only if you believe and trust in him. Your confidence in Him is the spiritual activator that compels Him to act on your behalf. One may ask, but Nene, how do I demonstrate my confidence in God? By taking a bold step and confronting your Goliath; dare to challenge that issue that is standing in your way.
2 Timothy 1:7 (For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 8 Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;)
Your love for God will make you believe everything He says (Acts 24:14), which means your Faith can be made perfect by Love. The scripture says that Love is as strong as death (Song of Solomon 8:6); The Love of God in the heart of David is what removes fear from Him. David was ready to die for God; He said he hated the enemy of God with perfect hatred (Psalm 139:21-22). His love for God and hatred for Goliath is what gave him victory over him. Ask God to deliver you from the spirit of fear and baptise you with the spirit of Love and sound mind and endue you with power from above. Jesus Christ is Love and the more of Him you have in you the less fear you will have. We have the mind of Christ; as a believer we exhibit the mind of Christ and you cannot have the mind of someone that you did not believe in (1 Corinthians 2:16). Jesus Christ said He and the father will come and live inside the person that loves him and obey his commandment and when he lives in you you will automatically have his mind which is the sound mind that the scripture is talking about (John 14:20-23). They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony. David disgrace Goliath by his testimony, he recounted how God has saved him several times; many of us have forgotten the great act of God in our lives and focus on the current challenges, you need to believe that if He has done it before that He will do it again. Instead of meditating on how big that challenge is, start meditating on how powerful your God is, and how many times He has rescued you and fought for you. That is exactly what David did. Your testimony will paralyse your enemies; it will weaken them because that shows that your God is with you and He is going after them. Your testimonies will expose their weakness and create a big hole in their forehead and will turn your stone to a weapon of death.
PRAYER:
Father, in the name of Jesus, deliver me from the spirit of fear
Father, in the name of Jesus, Baptise me with the Spirit of Love
Father, in the name of Jesus, Baptise me with the Spirit boldness in order of David.
God will not Baptise a stranger, He said to the disciple to baptise anyone who believes in Him (Mark 16:16); so, the above prayer will only work for His children. Friends, here is another opportunity to enter into a Love relationship with God today by praying this salvation prayer below and be blessed, in Jesus name.
Lord Jesus, I come to you today, I am a sinner, and I cannot help myself, forgive me my sins, and cleanse me with your precious blood. Deliver me from sin and Satan to serve the living God. Lord Jesus, I accept you as my Lord and saviour. Now I know I am Born Again, Amen.
NENE ISAH,
