REFUSE TO FEAR!
Do not be afraid is written 365 times in the bible. That's one for everyday -chin up, you're the one who makes the enemy tremble!! There is a 'fear not' everyday for you in the Bible. God doesn't want you to fear. FEAR(Fake Evidence Appearing Real). Fear doesn't help you, it destroys you. Fear is the opposite of faith. Faith activates the power of God to act to your advantage while Fear on the other hand invoke dark forces to act against you. Refuse to fear!!! Give no room for the devil, give no room for fear. Saturate your mind and your Spirit with the Word of God. Speak in tounges -embolden yourself with the Spirit. Be bold, nothing can stand successfully against you. You are more than a conqueror. Refuse to fear!!! Again I say Refuse to fear!!! Don't fear the dark, don't fear sickness, don't fear failure, don't fear poverty, don't fear a snake, don't fear a lion, don't fear demons or the devil, don't fear men, don't fear death... You attracts what you fear. You empower what you fear. What you fear grows. Refuse to fear!!! Greater is God in you than whatever you might be facing. God is for you and nothing can stand against you successfully. I say again refuse to fear!!! Be BOLD, Keep the FAITH. You own this world. You are large and in charge. Have a fearless/faithfilled day. RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL; DON'T COMPLAIN; GIVE THANKS! Saturday, July 26th - Pastor Anita. Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light (Colossians 1:12). Christians who haven’t learnt the value of thanksgiving have so many blessings elude them. Rather than complain and lament to God about your life or situation, you're to be thankful to Him for qualifying you to be a partaker of the inheritance of the saints in light. Many are not thankful because they only think about what they’re going through-their lack and needs-instead of seeing themselves in glory. Every Christian is an heir of God, and a joint-heir with Christ; recognize it and be thankful. When you express gratitude to the Lord for your present level, He'll do more for you; He'll take you higher. Do you recall the story of the ten lepers that Jesus healed? Only one of them returned to express gratitude to the Master for the healing, and he received more; he was made whole. His extremities that were eaten away by the leprosy were restored (Luke 17:11-19). It brings to mind a certain man who was healed in one of our meetings. The man was deaf in both ears, but as the meeting progressed, under such a great anointing, he suddenly realized he could hear from one ear. He was so ecstatic about the miracle that he immediately started making his way to the testimony line. He had only taken a few steps when his second ear popped open. That’s the power of a grateful heart. There’re people whose circumstances will never change until they learn to be thankful. 1 Thessalonians 5:18 says, “In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God M in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Learn to count your blessings and glorify God for who He is, and for what He’s done for you. There’s nothing you need in your life today or would ever need, that He hasn’t already provided. 1 Corinthians 3:21 says all things are yours. Your life, therefore, should be one of praise and gratitude to Him for giving you all things: “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue” (2 Peter 1:3). PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for blessing me exceedingly, and giving me all things that pertain to life and godliness. My heart is filled with praise and gratitude for the life of continual victories you've brought me into. I’m full of your glory, beauty, and grace, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. FURTHER STUDY: Psalm 140:13 Surely the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name: the upright shall dwell in thy presence. Psalm 50:23 Whoso offereth praise glorifieth me: and to him that ordereth his conversation aright will I shew the salvation of God. Hosea 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the Lord: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.
