*This is our Proceeding Word For The Season*

2 Timothy 1:7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

�Confront Your Fear�

Success is always close by but FEAR will keep one blindfolded until the opportunity slips away.

What are your fears;
Failure? Rejection? Negative Criticism?....

FEAR is like a cage that keeps one locked up for as long as we allow it.

FEAR has kept a lot of people from reaching their peaks and others from fully expressing their skills and potentials.

FEAR will give you one-thousand-and-one reasons why your next step of action will fail.

FEAR will remind you that you are 'risk averse' and make you continue to tow the path of least resistant.

FEAR will remind you of every time you have failed. It will show you how you can't succeed and why others who succeeded are better than you.

It will explain the meaning of ' Once Bitten Twice Shy'. You have failed once and shouldn't try again.

FEAR will make you doubt your abilities and remind you of your weaknesses.

FEAR will make you sit comfortably on a spot and will make you dread the thought of failures.

FEAR will tell you to wait for a perfect time to start.

FEAR will prevent you from taking on challenges. It will highlight the risks involved in a particular venture or project and will justify why it is better to maintain status quo.

FEAR will prevent you from writing that book, launching that product/service, applying for challenging roles, executing that project, writing that professional exam, starting that business, giving that relationship a trial, taking on that opportunity, going on that trip, reaching out for help.....

FEAR will always make you admit your incapability and encourage you to accept it as fate!

If only we can take on the challenge and wage war against fear.
If only we could see the potentials inside of us.

If only we could remember
that "the earnest expectation of the creature are waiting for the manifestation of the sons of God" Romans 8:19 (KJV)

This war is personal and it takes you and only YOU to break away from fears.

Don't give FEAR the pleasure of winning!

FEAR is of the devil.

Stop nurturing it! Stand up to it! Confront it! Rise above it! Challenge it! Fight it!Take bold steps! Pursue your career/vision! Manifest!!!

The Spirit is indeed One.
God has been dealing with me about Fear lately. So as soon as I came across this message, it really resonated with me.
And I believe it will richly minister to us all.

Fear is the direct opposite of Faith.

Also Doubt and Unbelief are as well the direct opposite of Faith.

As long as we still live in fear and doubt, we will not be able to maximize our Faith, we will not be mature as Christians and we will not be able to please God.
Hebrews 11:6

Our fears, doubts and Unbelief limit God's manifestation. Limits our potentials as Christians, gives room for the enemy to taunt, deride and ridicule us.
Even Jesus Christ, Our Lord and Saviour could not perform miracles in his hometown because of their unbelief (due to familiarity).

Fear, Doubt and Unbelief have kept us grounded for too long.
It's time to break this yoke of fear grounding us from chasing our dreams and confronting our challenges.
It's time for us to TAKE OFF and LAUNCH OUT!

Time to BREAK EVERY FEAR still holding us back.
The only Fear we are allowed to have as Sons and Daughters of God is the Fear of God.
So let us Fear God, and become FEARLESS AND VICTORIOUS!��

So help us God.���

There are some questions one should never answer. They are evil. Any question seeking to either express or expose your fears should not only be avoided and ignored but also counteracted by confirming your faith over fear.

Job said that which he feared the most has befallen him. Meaning the enemy always looks for an opportunity to entrap us with our fears.

It's OK and human to be scared. But our confidence should be resolute and unshaken in the Word and Promises of God.
Only the fear of God overcomes all other fears.
It's in a similitude to a kid's fear of his dad. That alone gives the kid confidence over every other person's dad.

The fear of God is truly the beginning of wisdom. And wisdom is the principal thing. Every other thing in life is predicated upon proper application of Wisdom.

Fear God and become Fearless. Cos fear is the only thing keeping most of us grounded in life. Fear of the unknown, fear of failure, even fear of success, fear of disappointment, fear of heart break, fear of travelling, fear of village witchcraft, fear of dying, fear of sickness, phobias, etc.

The fear of God truly conquers all other fears.

2 Timothy 1:17
For God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power and of love and of a sound mind.

Sorry for the late reply Sir. I like to wait for God's Utterance for sensitive questions like this but got distracted with other things during the wait.

The Fear of God is also quite dimensional.

-It is the first and primary sign of Wisdom.
Proverbs 9:10

-It is an overwhelming sense of the consciousness, awe and reverence towards God. The kind of fear you would have for an Admired King, Master, Leader. The type of fear/adoration best described in Psalms, Praises and Worship.
Genesis 28:17

-It also a type of revelation of Him that is accompanied with weakness and trembling such as the Israelites in the wilderness when the beheld His Glory on the mountain of Sinai. Also as described by the Prophets whenever they beheld His Glory.
Revelations 1:17

-It is unlike the type of fear of the world that incapacitates us and makes others constantly live in fear. This Godly fear empowers our weakness before Him to live a victorious life. Making us do things we never could do, attain realms we could never attain, become confident and bold where we would have been timid, shy, ashamed or fearful.
Revelations 1:17

I hope this helps to disambiguate the Godly fear from worldly fear.

May God give us more Grace and Wisdom in Jesus name. Amen.
