Faith Over Fears

-


While the world is hit with a pandemic Covid-19 diseases, it is legitimate to have serious safety concerns for those we love and care for, even for our own safety, but we mustn't allow these concerns to degenerate into worries, anxieties, and panic.

It is bad enough that the economies of families, industries, and nations are having adverse effects due to businesses that are being shut down, many layoffs, and halt on daily commercial activities. Sinking into worries and having panic could make it much more worse for one's mental and spiritual well-being.

That is why in this period we must make an intentional effort to choose faith over fears, to engage the practicalities of the promises of God concerning us in this trying times.

We need to remember that the Lord is with us always, even in the midst of the valley of the shadow death (Psalms 23:4), and He has promised us that no waters or fire of any circumstances will harm us or overcome us (Isaiah 43:2).

So instead of worrying, we should learn to pray and make our petition and concerns known to God, which is a gateway to having peace in the midst of these chaotic situations. And as faith comes by hearing, (Romans 10:17), so is fears too, thus, we should engage more in bible study much more than what the news is saying. There are too many fears already in the news, it is advisable to feed our faith in this period through the word of God.

I pray that the peace of God, that transcends all understanding will dwell in your heart through Jesus Christ. Amen. And may God's protection keep you and your family safe, may the storm of COVID-19 not come near your dwelling place and may God give you the strength to trust him all the way and cope through these hard times.

Stay blessed and stay safe.

YOU ARE NOT USELESS

"Before I kill myself I felt like talking to you". That was the first line of statement I heard from the other end of the phone with shock. Got a call today from a friend based in the US and the 2 hours talk birth this short video and write-up. I have this to say to 👉YOU: 1. PLEASE!!! Know that You are not useless, I don't care from which quarters those disheartening words might come from 🤐. Yes, it might hurt when the mouth saying those words is that of a revered person. But don't let the words of men delete your hope. Remembered that even the wise men in their wisdom got the birth place of Jesus wrong because manger doesn't match the star that they saw. "This is a king star they said to themselves so they headed to the palace", but God is a specialist in hiding treasure in vessel not fitted for it. He knows how to bring out goodness from places people have lost hope in. Samuel in his anointing saw Eliab and thought to himself this guy looks a...
