Memorise: For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7
Read: Psalm 91:5-6
5 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. Continue...
You have
nothing to fear if you have given your life to Jesus. Those of us who have surrendered
our lives to Jesus Christ can say with all boldness that we shall not be
afraid. Today’s Bible reading says that: provided you surrender your life to
the Almighty God and provided you are dwelling in His secret place, and
provided you are abiding under His shadow, you have nothing to fear. Fear is
from the devil. There was no fear until the devil crept in. When God created
Adam and Eve and put them in the Garden of Eden, it was all bliss. But from the
day the devil entered into the garden and convinced them to disobey God, fear
came. After they had sinned, when they heard God coming, they ran and hid
themselves. Fear is the exact opposite of faith. The moment you cross from the
side of the devil to the side of God, there is no more fear for you. When you
give your life to Christ, fear must go. Fear comes from darkness and Jesus
Christ is light. When Jesus comes into your life, He gives you the spirit of
love, of power, of joy and of a sound mind. This is why it is rare to find a
true child of God living in fear. The Bible in Romans 8:14-15 says: “For as
many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not
received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit
of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”
Children of God have the Spirit of God. He assures us that we are the children of God. You can boldly say that you have not received the spirit of fear but of power, of love and of a sound mind if you have received the Spirit of God. Jesus Christ said you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost comes upon you. Since we have received power, we should not be afraid. I am a child of God. Fear belongs to the children of the devil and I am not a child of the devil. From time immemorial, God has always put a dividing line between the righteous and the wicked. He tries to reward each according to their works. He rewards the righteous so that they will love righteousness and so that the wicked will see the benefit of righteousness and turn from their wicked ways. The Bible in Psalm 121:7 says this concerning the righteous: “The LORD shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.”

With such promises, the children of God have no cause to fear. I pray that
whatever will overwhelm your faith and cause you to panic, the Lord will not
allow such to happen to you in Jesus’ Name. Do not be afraid; God is your
refuge and your present help in the time of need.
Action Point: Check your life, whatever you are doing that is causing you to panic, do away with it.
