(Isaiah 41:10: Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand)
I do believe that you are experiencing new realms of victory over all your fears since we started this study. This is the expectation of your Heavenly Father and this is also what I am trusting God concerning your life. Whatever kind of fear you have, you will gain dominance and victory over it in Jesus name, amen. In today’s study, I will be sharing with you some other reasons why you should not fear. So let’s go!
e. Because your tomorrow will be alright. How do I know this? The Lord knows and holds your tomorrow in His hands, therefore you have no business being afraid. The truth of the matter is that if you know and also are persuaded about your tomorrow, you will not fear. Do you know that your tomorrow is a settled case? I mean your destiny is a beautiful one. In fact, as a songwriter sang some years ago, “because He lives, you can face tomorrow” and tomorrow includes all your fears, anxieties, and troubles. So, rejoice, child of God, for you have no reason to fear because your future is in safe hands (John 16:33).
f. Because your faith will not work in an atmosphere of fear. Fear will contaminate, corrupt, and compromise your faith; so, don’t give room for fear in your life. Fear is the enemy of faith. Both cannot co-exist peacefully in the same place. If you really want your faith to work then you must not allow fear to thrive in or around you. An attack on your faith is an attack on your victory and your life too. It’s time to say ‘no’ to all your fears and say ‘yes’ to your faith. As you starve your fears, your faith will blossom and thrive; so, why not begin from today. Begin to feed your faith and starve your fears. How do you feed your faith? You feed your faith by dwelling on the things that nourish your faith such as listening, meditating, and confessing the word of God. I see you gaining mastery over your fears as you begin to confront your fears from today! (1 Timothy 6:12).

Prayer for Today: Heavenly Father, I appropriate my victory over my fears by faith. I will not fear because my tomorrow will be alright. I will not fear because fear is the enemy of my faith. I, therefore, choose faith over my fears and I will not be put to shame in Jesus name, amen.
CONFESSION: I choose faith over my fears. Therefore, I renounce and resist every operation of fear in my life. I rebel against fear in every area of my life and endeavour. I refuse to starve my faith. I choose to feed my faith and starve my fears. I am persuaded of a greater tomorrow; so, I have no reason to fear. I know, by faith, that my tomorrow will be alright, therefore I have no business being afraid for I am confident in His ability to take care of me. I rejoice and give glory to my King. Hallelujah!
