FEAR
A
natural phenomenon that cannot be averted in man's life. Some avoid it by
putting on a bold and courageous heart while it has encapsulated the heart of
many.
Though it
comes in a scary way and has different forms of manifesting, It is caused by
many and it happens naturally at times. Fear is a thing of the mind even though
it happens around us in a while. It has it's causes which is mainly by
individual or what is happening in the society or around an individual.
Oxford dictionary is of the opinion that :" Fear is an
unpleasant emotion caused by the belief that someone or something is
likely to cause pain or a threat.
Battles are lost not because we are not powerful is because our mind is not
properly positioned due to the fear we already have in mind. If you really want
to overcome in life then you must be able to overcome fear. Whatever you fear
in life will be the one to dominate you, what you have accepted about yourself
is what will come to pass in your life and with fear it weakens your strength
the more.
FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN
Most people are afraid of what has not
even happened. People are afraid of poverty and will fail to work towards what
will make them to overcome poverty. Fear is not just a feeling but a spirit
that is already dwelling in most people.
According to Romans 8:5 the bible says " For ye have not receive the
spirit of bondage again to FEAR but you have receive the spirit of adoptation
where we cry ABBA FATHER. KJV If you are afraid of what you don't know , what
you have not tried to do, you will just become a slave to yourself because the
spirit of fear in you is not manifesting the real you. People will always take
advantage of you because they know you are not up to the task. Fear is simply a
prove you don't believe in your maker. I n fear you pay in advance what you
don't owe. Nobody has the power to bring you down, is only if you want to bring
yourself down you should have a superior mentality above fear. psalms 91:5
" Thou shall not be afraid of terror by night , nor for the arrow that
flieth by day KJV.
Furthermore, Instead of being afraid of the
unknown , you have not tried to do , why not get an adequate information about
what is making you to be afraid. You use your inner strength to fight for what
you want not your physical being. It is the strength you have within that supports
you outwardly. Do not suffer from
inferiority complex. For you not to know
what you are capable to do then you are still suffering from the spirit of fear
, due to fear some people depend on other people's definition about them. Don't
depend on people's definition because it differs from each other. You have to
discover yourself in your own way. Some people are afraid of being successful ,
so when they eventually become successful they will refuse to work hard and
retain the success. Success today may become failure tomorrow if it is not
improved upon. success is not an ending it is just a process so if you fail to
improve you become a failure whereas failure is not an option for anybody
because we are not destined to become a failure in life. To be free of fear you
must have confidence in yourself because confidence is the cure of fear. If you
lack confidence you will be prone to failure .e.g. A student that heard that
the lecturer that wants to take a particular course does not favour students even if you have done well and
agree with me there are some lecturers like that. Instead of adequate
preparation not to be a victim the student failed to prepare because of the
preparation he/she had in mind that no student pass the course with good grade
unless they change the lecturer. Eventually the student failed, whose fault?
The student failed because the student does not know how to pass. The spirit of
fear has overshadowed the student which makes them to see the negative part
which is failure.
You should learn to live failure free life, fear free
life, concern free life and sick free
life. We should focus on God . According to 1st peter 5:7 casting all your care
upon him, for he careth for you KJV Feed
your destiny with revelation and knowledge. life does not give you what you
desire life only gives you what you demand. If you taught about a great future
it means it can be made physical instead of being afraid talk about happiness
and prosperity to everyone around you. B e informed to know where you are going
to always be with people that makes you forget about your fear and worry
because the fear you don't stop in your life will be the one to stop you. For
your generation to hear your voice positively you must not build your
foundation on fear because that is a faulty foundation try and get someone to
inspire you (when you lack someone to inspire you , you expire). Try and communicate
with people that are trust worthy, people that when you share what is bothering
you they give you the adequate or possible solution. If you don't have adequate
information about what you want to in life you will not be able to achieve in
life '' You cannot do without information if distinction is your purpose"
Bishop Oyedepo. Many has gone through life without an unidentified purpose for
living due to fear.
DISCIPLINE
To be free
of fear in life you have to be very disciplined to be trained in an orderly
manner, orderly way of life. You have to be disciplined with your time, what
you think about and people you relate with. You do what you ought to do at the
right time. When you are doing what you ought to do you don't have any reason
to worry. Hard work never kills it only refines you. You learn to separate
pleasure from assignment. pro 21: 17( He that loveth pleasure shall be a poor
man; he that loveth wine and oil shall not be rich) KJV. Even the bible
confirmed it that you have to be disciplined to be a successful person in life.
pro 21:23(Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from trouble.(KJV)
Learn to control your mouth to be free from fear of what you have said.....
because if what you focus on is the top then discipline must be your goal.
don't live your life on public opinion to keep any success you have attained
you have to be very disciplined. Diligent creates success but discipline keeps
it. No coward can succeed in life.
BELIEVE
You need
to believe in yourself to be free from fear. If you don't believe in yourself
nobody will ever believe in you. You put yourself where you want people to put
you. You have faith in your maker(GOD). Even when you have a problem try to
know the cause of the problem , believe in yourself you can solve it or consult
people you believe in they can be of help in that particular situation. You
keep reasonable friends for different reasons . You can't stop problem from
coming it depends on the way you handle the problem. When you fail to solve the
problem fear will set in. Some people don't believe they can fly high in life
they prefer to borrow and beg instead of working hard to earn a living for
their self . Believe challenges are opportunities for you to discover many things in life even
if you don't have today that one does not mean you will not have tomorrow. Be
persistent in anything you are doing in life, don't quit, keep moving knowing
you have a target to meet and believing you are already a success. Don't try to
do what you are not supposed to do because in life impression does not last
only impartation last that is what others are able to gain from you. I f you are
doing what you are not supposed to do you won't have confidence in yourself and
fear may set in. Nobody is better than you is your believe that kept you where
you are. But when you believe in God and yourself you can go places.
I was reading a book where the writer wrote :" Don't
ask time where it is going to but tell time where it should go to."
Honestly we all have the same 24 hours in a day to do whatever we are supposed
to do but it depends on the way you spend your time. If you can control your
time you can control your life. Believe the little time you have you can make
something tangible out of it.
FEAR OF GOD
In anything you
do you must have the fear of God which is the most important thing. It is not
only important to be disciplined, to believe, to be informed. All these without
the fear of God is nothing. When you find yourself in an unpleasant situation that
makes you afraid, call on the lord in as much as you believe is your maker. As
it is written in the bible in the book of matt 14:30 :"But when he saw the
wind boisterous he was afraid and beginning to sink he cried saying lord save
me".
