FEAR

  FEAR 1 John 4:11-21 Devotional:- “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love” (v.18) NKJV Among the attitudes that hinder the flow of joy is the attitude of fear. Wherever there is fear, joy cannot be there. This is because peace is like a bed that joy normally sits on. Since the opposite of peace is fear. It becomes impossible to have joy with fear. This is the major problem with many, whom we refer to as great or rich. They find it difficult to have joy simply because of the fear in their heart. Sources of fear include sin, disobedience to instruction, not living within your size, shady deals and non-believing in the word of God. The truth is fear can frustrate and kill joy, but there is something that can kill fear also. Wisdom demands that we should get what destroys fear, and this is faith.

FEELING CONDEMNED

FEELING CONDEMNED

Romans 8:1-5
Devotional:- "There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit". (V. 1)

Even Jesus suffered on the cross and it was over but their case have been an endless self-crucifixion and they never see themselves qualified to be free.

Jesus came condemned and crucified that we may not suffer. As many of us that have the life of Jesus in our life, we are no more to be under the punishment of condemnation. All that is important is that we know that submission to God is to allow Him to direct our ways. In other word we take instructions before taking steps. It is also important that whenever the Holy Spirit convicts us of an unrighteous act, we repent of it and confess it to God and that is all (1 John 1:7-10). But to carry it on and on is to be willing to die for your sin. You are saying the death of Jesus is not enough for you and you want to put your life on the cross with Jesus. Please learn to live by faith in God’s word and you shall be free.

Prayer: Lord, help me to learn to take forgiveness by faith.

“Self-condemnation is a sin of self-crucifixion”.
