FEAR EXPOSED

Fear means to ponder so much on all that can go wrong, instead of on all that can go right in the course of developing your potential. It has stopped many from taken the bold steps of life; it has made many to remain where they are, afraid of stepping into uncharted frontier. It keeps one from not moving, but rather wanting to know all the challenges associated with their pursuit before embarking on it. The truth is, for every pursuit of destiny, one cannot see all it may cost him, but for sure if you set your eyes on the reward, you shall surely make it. And again, to every new level of achievement envisaged, there is always a new devil to conquer. Anything that fear presents to you is not real. It becomes real the moment you give in to it. Fear is a spirit that hates you, it would want to stop you if it can, but you are to decide what fear can do to your destiny. 2 Tim 1:6-7
For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.
Fear is a spirit from the pit of hell, it is designed to stop you, but I tell you something, you're unstoppable! So each time fear shows up to stop you; here is what to do: Tell it to go to hell! You must refuse to listen to its suggestions, everything he says is a lie; he is a liar by nature as described in John 8:44, as a person who speaking of lies is his native language. So what to do to such a person is to resist him, command him to shut his trash.

Whatever fear presents to you is a mirage, it's not there and will never be, except you permit it. Have you ever been on a highway and suddenly there seem to be water log ahead of you, but as you drive closer, the water log that was before you, threatening you, begins to disappear, by the time you get there, you will realize that that the very spot where you saw it has always been dry and has no trace of water. What would have happened if you had stopped and made a u-turn; and what a waste of time and energy it would have been to start worrying and praying disturbing PAPA God! You could develop a high blood pressure by worry and anxiety. Please people of God understand this, your fears never exist, and it is only cowards that die before their actual death.
Anxiety is one of the products of fear, a psychologist came up with a statistics that:
40% of what we worry about never happens.
30% of what we worry about are things that have already happened.
20% of what we worry about are unfounded concerns.
And 10% of what we worry about comprises our day-to-day activities.

From the above statistics fear is baseless and has no genuine course. A character in the bible called Job, a honorable man unfortunately missed this truth, the devil presented a picture to him that someday he shall loose all he has and he gave in to it, ignoring the promises of God for his life.
Job 3:25
For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me.
Job set his mind so much on what fear presented to him than on what faith has for him. God has put a hedge round about him, a wall of protection but Job believed so much in fear than faith.
Job 1:10
Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
God who has put that dream, idea, potential in you knows you, he knows you can do it, stop complaining and do something useful.
