RHAPSODY OF REALITIES MONDAY 13TH JULY.
OVERCOMING ANXIETY BY PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME.
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God (Philippians 4:6 AMPC).
Around the world today, many are terrified, not just about the future, but even about the present. Thereβs fear and terror, but the word βterrorβ isnβt new. If you study the Bible, youβd be amazed at how many times it talks about terror. Nevertheless, Jesus assured us of victory over all crises. He said in John 16:33, ββ¦In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.β
Thereβs no need for you to have anxiety or panicbouts over anything; youβve already overcome Satan, the world and every crisis: βYe are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the worldβ (1 John 4:4). Therefore, stop the fear. Stop the anxiety. Anxiety refers to worry; itβs a state of nervousness. But our theme verse says, βDo not fret or have any anxiety about anythingβ¦.β
If you say, βBut I canβt help being worried,β then youβre accusing God of lying to you. Youβre accusing Him of asking you to do something you couldnβt do. The fact that He says, βDonβt be anxious,β means you can live without anxiety. Your response, therefore, should be, βBlessed be God! I live in the peace and provisions of Christ; I do not fret! He has perfected all that concerns me. Hallelujah!β Thatβs how you respond to God.
Refuse to have anxiety about your son, your daughter, your husband, your wife, your brother, your sister, your house rent, your health, your job, business, education, or about anything! When you do, the Bible says the peace of God thatβs beyond human comprehension will garrison your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). Hallelujah!
PRAYER
Dear Father, thank you for your Word that stirs faith in my heart and dispels fear and anxiety. I reject every thought of fear, for Iβm shielded from the pain and darkness in the world. Greater is He thatβs in me than he thatβs in the world. Iβm full of might by the Spirit of the Lord, for the peace of God which passes all understanding mantles my heart and mind, in Jesusβ Name. Amen.
