Do Not Fear

I sought the Lord and He heard me, and delivered me from all my fears. - Psalm 34:4

I want to encourage you with this word during this time of uncertainty. The question I want to address today is: We all face fear in our daily living, but how do we overcome it?


Fear is a weapon that Satan uses to keep us in the cage, making us feel that we are safe. If you’re given the choice of being either safe or brave, what would you choose?


Humanly, we all want to feel safe in everything we do; unfortunately, safety is guaranteed in the cage where you’re “sealed off.” In order to touch your world and live your dreams, you will need step out of the cage of safety and take bold, brave steps of trusting God.


It is very simple to make fear-based decisions (the fear of tomorrow, of what could happen). We sometimes have fear of whether our children will grow to serve the Lord, fear of dying young, and fear of taking bold steps to do the uncomfortable though it is God’s will for us.


One wise man said if you want to overcome fear, you simply do what you fear and fear runs away. Fear cannot be ignored or co-habit with you. Fear demoralizes, fear haunts, and fear screams at every effort we gather to do anything great.


Don’t let fear keep you in the boat where there’s safety, Jesus is stretching out his hand and calling you to come out of the boat and walk on water with Him. In the next few issues, I will share with you a few steps you can take to overcome fear.


My dear partner, my prayer for you is that fear will be defeated in your life so you can enjoy the thrill of living by faith in Christ Jesus.


Because of Calvary,


Pastor Jackson Senyonga
