We are all,
one way or the other wary of thieves, and we'll do anything and everything possible to protect
ourselves and our properties from them, either by erecting fences around the house
and electrifying them, or by installing security cameras or even employing
guards. But, we have never done anything against the Real Thieves!!!
The thieves are FEAR and DOUBTS.!!
Fear and Doubts are the thieves we are supposed to
be wary of, they are the ones we should constantly be calling 911 for. Fear and
Doubt are responsible for so many truncated potentials, they have destroyed
lots of dreams, killed countless powerful ideas and many relationships have
been murdered by them. They respect no one and are not selective in their
operations.
What
exactly are you Afraid of?
While it is
believed that there are two ways to everything; good and bad, black and white,
positive and negative etc, Fear is no exception, in actual fact, it is not as
bad as it appears to be or has been portrayed to be.
Fear is a
Force, a very powerful one! Fear can make one do extra-ordinary things
(Positive); it could also be the reason for the most foolish of actions
(Negative). Imagine what a hungry man, who haven’t eaten for three days, would
do if he comes across a hungry Lion! You can do more than what you think you
can do!
Now, there
is a certain kind of Fear that we all must strive to rid ourselves of; it’s the
Fear of Loss. Many a people have been denied their breakthrough because of the
fear of losing temporary things. Job lost all He had, and never allowed it
daunt His faith in God. What lots of people don’t understand is that; God will
never allow things to be taken away from us without proper provision for it
replacement!
But then,
there is another kind of Fear that surpasses all types of Fear, this Fear guarantees
all things. It is a very important factor needed, especially, in the most
important RACE of all time, The Christian Race! For "the Fear of God is the
beginning of wisdom..." Prov. 9:10
Now, let us
hear the conclusion of the whole matter: FEAR GOD and keep HIS commandments:
For this, is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes 12:13
