1Timothy6verse12. ‘Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Your Faith has certain enemies and the earlier you know this, the better you will be. Why do I say so? I say so because knowing your enemy will also put you in a better position of how to handle that enemy. This is what we intend to do in this series of teachings. I will be talking about the common enemies of our faith and looking at the Ways we ought to deal with them. I know that things won’t be the same again because strength and wisdom are coming into your life, which would put you over in life. So, without much ado today, let’s look at another enemy of our faith and how we Ought to deal with it. If you are ready, here we go!

2. Fear. This is another major enemy of your faith that you need to know how to deal with if your faith is strong and effective. You can’t be full of faith and fear at the same time. Fear always hinders the operation of faith. That is why Fear Tolerated is Faith Contaminated! The reason our faith is little or small is because of Fear. (As you can see from the following Scriptures: Matt8v26: Mk4v40-41).

Fear is actually having Faith in the ability of the devil. Your Trust ought to be in the ability of God, not the devil. This is why you need to stand against every operation of fear in your life because your faith will be weak in the area where fear dominates or reigns.

My dear reader, the remedy for fear is to allow God’s Word to take root in your heart; this is the answer to Fear. Pro4v20-22.

So, is there an area of your life where you seem terrified or fearful? You need to begin to saturate your mind and heart with the word of God in that area because this is how faith comes. And as Faith comes, fear will be subdued in that area of your life.

The antidote to fear is the Word of God and for you also to start exercising your authority against the operation of faith in your life. Matt18v18.

My Dearly Beloved Ones, it’s time to stop being afraid and to start believing God’s Word! Don’t be afraid, just believe! This should be your response to fear from today.

I see you growing in confidence as you begin to allow God’s Word to dominate your life. I see fear losing its grip on your life. So, rejoice, it’s a New Day! Your Day of Victory is here!
