A FEARFUL HEART REVEALS A FAITHLESS MAN

TEXT: Romans 8:14-15

Key verse: 2 Timothy 1:7 For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power,

and of love, and of a sound mind.

Some people have a fearful heart. They are always afraid of one thing or the other. Some people are even afraid of lizards. They see demons in almost everything, including lizards! You are afraid of shadows. You are afraid you will die. You are afraid an evil thing will take place. So you become restless out of fear of everything around you. But hear what God is saying to you in the scriptures: John 14:1, 27 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. Can you see two states of that heart? Fearful and troubled heart! That scripture says, “Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.” It is as if these two things relate together. What makes you feel troubled is because you are afraid. You are very troubled because you fear that you have caught coronavirus, even though you are free of any infection. Yet you are telling yourself, “how am I sure that in the next two weeks the symptoms will not begin to show?”

Some people are fearful of a large body of water. It is as if they will be drowned in it. You just get troubled over many things when in fact there is no cause for alarm. Your fearful heart gives you trouble and you lose your peace. You are afraid that this sickness is going to kill you. That is why you are not smiling. The smile of a troubled heart doesn't last. How will it last when he is troubled that he is dying tomorrow. Everybody is laughing but you are frowning your face. Somebody said fear knocked at the door and faith went to open the door but nobody was there. Naturally, anytime faith comes in fear disappears. Fear promises you everything evil, assuring you of failure, assuring you of death, and bringing dreams of bad luck. But if you can rise up in faith you will not see those things again, fear will disappear and you will become peaceful. Rise up in faith and enjoy the peace of God in Jesus' name. Amen.

Thought for the day: If you have Christ, you have no cause to fear.

Song for the day: Believe it shall be well, believe in the Lord….

Bible reading for the day: Proverbs 25-27; 2 Corinthians 6

THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS

REMAIN BLESSED AS YOU TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE WORD OF GOD. THURSDAY 30 DECEMBER THE LORD IS REMOVING UNCIRCUMCISED LEADERS TEXT: NUMBERS 14: 26-31  Key verse: Matthew 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many  be called, but few chosen. Completion of the angelic message: The Lord continued. “Because of this mandate given to you, I am removing around you the uncircumcised leaders. I am going to fill their place with righteous and holy leaders from various nations and races.” Truly I had pondered if any minister has suffered like this. People I loved, cherished and lived peacefully with suddenly began to speak evil against me to my shock. Well, it happens in politics, but is limited to their countries, whereas mine is international! Yes, some ministers may have suffered these things, but that was before the advent of the Internet, so their sufferings were limited. Maybe through letters or newspapers for a limited time, but my own is in the world of the I...
