SCRIPTURE: And do not
be frightened or intimidated in anything by your opponents and adversaries, for such [constancy and fearlessness] will be a clear sign (proof and seal) to them of [their impending] destruction, but [a sure token and evidence] of your deliverance and salvation, and that from God. Philippians 1:28 (AMP)
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
To be fearless is to keep company with God; to be fearful is to keep company
with the devil.
Yesterday, we saw that
one of the weapons of the devil against the children of God is the weapon of
fear. To be trapped by fear is to be positioned for destruction by the enemy.
We also saw the reasons to avoid the trap of fear at all cost.
Beloved, if you are to
avoid fear, embrace fearlessness. And today we shall be seeing the virtues of
fearlessness.
1. Fearlessness
delivers unbeatable strength.
In Proverbs 28:1, the
Bible says, the wicked flee when no man pursues but the righteous are bold as a
Lion.
So, the Lion is bold
and fearless. And Proverbs 30:30 tells what that fearlessness offers the lion:
A lion which is strongest among beasts, and turneth not away for any
battle….So, to be fearless is to be strong. That is a straight line equation:
the Lion is bold, and because the Lion is bold, it is strong. It does not turn
away from any challenge. So, fearlessness is a raw material for strength.
2. Fearlessness,
boldness, courage attracts the Presence of God.
If you refuse to fear,
you will experience God’s company (Amos 3:3); He will go with you into battles
(1 Chronicles 28:20). The Presence of God is palpable with the fearless. To be
fearless is to keep company with God; to be fearful is to keep company with the
devil.
3. Fearlessness,
boldness or courage guarantees the destruction of the adversary (Philippians
1:28)
Fearlessness confirms
the destruction of the adversary.
Receive the baptism of
the spirit of fearlessness and courage on your life today, in Jesus’ Name.
REMEMBER THIS: To be
fearless is to keep company with God; to be fearful is to keep company with the
devil.
ASSIGNMENT(S):
1. Reject every
attempt by the enemy to cast fear upon you.
2. Maintain the
atmosphere of God’s Presence always.
