TOPIC: Fear Not


MEMORISE: Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.. – Deuteronomy 31:6


READ: 2 Chronicles 32:7-8 (KJV)


7 Be strong and courageous, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with us than with him:


8 With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.


BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Psalm 46-47


MESSAGE:


In the memory verse of today, Moses the servant of God encourages the children of Israel to be of good courage and not be afraid of their enemies. There are many reasons we cannot afford to be afraid of people. Proverbs 29:25 says:


“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.”


Anyone who wants to represent God in the world must be courageous or else he or she would make a mess of his or her divine assignment as in the case of King Saul. When confronted with not obeying God’s instructions to the letter, he said “I have sinned: yet honour me now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and before Israel…” (1 Samuel 15:22-30)



 

Another reason we should not be afraid of any man or thing is that God is with us. His name is Emmanuel. He Himself said “…I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:20). In Isaiah 43:2-3, the Bible says:


“When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the LORD thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.”


In the face of threats of war from Sennacherib King of Assyria, Hezekiah said in 2 Chronicles 32:8:


“With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles. And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.”


Hebrews 10:35 says:


“Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.”


Never cast away your confidence by giving way to fear. Beloved, I encourage you to fear not and be courageous in whatever situation you may find yourself, and God shall be with you – body, soul and spirit, in Jesus’ name.


PRAYER POINT:


Father, help me to be courageous; don’t let me lose my faith. Help me Lord to overcome fear, in the mighty name of Jesus.


HYMN 5: Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We


1 Conquerors and overcomers now are we,

Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve victory

If the Lord be for us we can never fail,

Nothing ‘gainst His mighty power can e’er prevail.


Refrain

Conquerors are we, thr’o the blood of Jesus

God will give us victory, thro’ the blood of Jesus

Through the Lamb for sinners slain,

Yet who lives and reigns again,

More than conquerors are we,

More than conquerors are we.



 

2 In the name of Israel’s God we’ll onward press,

Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;

Not to us but unto Him the praise shall be,

For salvation and for blood bought victory.


3 Unto Him that overcometh shall be given,

Here to eat of hidden manna sent from Heaven,

Over yonder He the victors palm shall bear,

And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear.
