MESSAGE
Fear has been defined by some theologians as ‘False Evidence Appearing Real’. It’s a spirit that limits and incapacitates people. It distracts a child of God from believing His words, which invariably means that he/she is calling God a liar. This is why Revelation 21:8 says:
“…the fearful, unbelieving, …shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
A child of God should not live in a state of anxiety or fear. God has given us the means to rise above fear. 2 Timothy 1:7 says:
“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.”
God’s command to “fear not” is applicable in several instances. For example, the fear of what other people think should never prevent us from obeying God, neither should we fear the lack of provision in this world nor the plans of the wicked against us because He is our Father, and He has promised us victory on all sides.
CONFESSION:
I banish the spirit of fear and its fruits from my life in Jesus’ name. I put my hope in Jesus, and I will not be ashamed.
HYMN 15 – Onward, Christian Soldiers
- Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before;
Christ, the Royal Master,
Leads against the foe;
Forward into battle,
See His banners go.
CHORUS
Onward, Christian soldiers!
Marching as to war,
Looking unto Jesus,
Who is gone before.
- At the name of Jesus
Satan’s host doth Ilee;
On then, Christian soldiers
On to victory!
Hell’s foundations quiver
At the shout of praise:
Brothers, lift your voices,
Loud your anthems raise. - Like a mighty army
Moves the Church of God:
Brothers, we are treading
Where the saints have trod.
We are not divided,
All one body we
One in hope and doctrine,
One in charity. - Crowns and thrones may perish
Kingdoms rise and wane;
But the Church of Jesus
Constant will remain:
Gates of hell can never
‘Gainst that church prevail;
We have Christ’s own promise-
And that cannot fail. - Onward then, ye people,
Join our happy throng;
Blend with ours your voices
In the triumph song:
“Glory, praise and honour,
Unto Christ the King”,
This, through countless ages,
Men and angels sing.
