MFM Daily Devotional July 31, 2022 MESSAGE
Fear is of the devil. When a person harbours and exhibits fear, it means that he does not trust God or believe that He exists. This is very dangerous. The enemy’s favourite tool, which he uses to attack Christians is fear. This is because he knows that when fear enters a person’s heart, it is easy for him to bring down the person. Fear produces anxiety and creates chaos in our lives. It also affects those around us in a negative way.
Fear hinders us from being whom and what God wants us to be. The enemy uses fear to discourage people from praying and getting answers from God. Fear makes a problem look bigger than God, and that is a big lie from the devil. Nothing is bigger than God. Please, always remember that no problem is bigger than God who is faithful and very much able to deliver us from our problems.
The consequences of fear are destructive in the life of a believer. When a believer allows the spirit of fear to dominate his heart, he would become the enemy’s slave. He would lose God’s control over him and the enemy will take control of his thoughts and being. In addition, the same person will make wrong and ungodly decisions and start trusting in the things of the world instead of God. He would also go astray and return to sin with all its devastating effects.
Beloved, I enjoin you to be sober and vigilant. Do not be ignorant of the enemy’s devices God has not given you the spirit of fear, but of love, power and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). Put fear away from your heart and meditate on His word day and night. Put your trust in God because He never fails His own. Become a Bible addict by studying and meditating on His word daily. Also, become a prayer and praise addict. These profitable spiritual exercises will give you victory over the spirit of fear, its torment and other consequences.
