Today’s Scripture

Isaiah 43: 1 – 4: But now thus saith the LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. 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. Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. [KJV]

Today’s Word

A popular disaster happened in Nigeria, around 2002. The amour storage where deadly battle weapons were stored suddenly exploded. There were sounds of blasting of bombs and parts of the bombs, houses, and cars were flying in the air. Many rumors filled the air that Osama Bin Laden had invaded Nigeria and people ran for their lives. After the situation had calmed down, it was discovered that only a few people were actually wounded within the barracks. Though many houses within and around the barracks were destroyed, and hundreds died by the blast, the real horror is that thousands who mistakenly stepped on the unexploded grenades while running were killed. Almost a million people jumped into the canal out of panic. The canal had been there for years but on that fateful day, it seemed as the only short cut dry land and others never stopped even when they saw their predecessors disappearing into the canal.

The bible says fear has torment. We are given an express warning in Isaiah 8:12 “……neither fear their fear nor be afraid.” In Exodus 20:18-19, the fear of death prevented all of the Israelites from talking to God. So they asked Moses to go for them. The fear of barrenness made Sarah to force Abraham to take another wife. The fear of delay made King Saul to sacrifice instead of being obedient. Remember only what Job feared came over him.Fear is the opposite of faith and is brother to doubt. Fear is a trap. It blinds. It defocuses us from what is obtainable in Christ. Do not let fear rule over you. Reject your fear; remember whatever God says, He will do. And if you have been suffering the consequences of your fear now, just acknowledge God and let him take over now.
