Fear is a magnet for evil just as faith is a magnet for good.

Fear is a magnet for evil just as faith is a magnet for good.

SCRIPTURE: For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me. Job 3:25

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Fear is a magnet for evil just as faith is a magnet for good.

The spirit of fear has been confirmed to be one of the deadly enemies of destiny. This includes the fear of failure, the fear of the future, the fear of the unknown, etc.

Now, how is fear such a deadly enemy of destiny? What are the tragedies of living in fear?

i) Fear invites disaster 

Fear is a magnet for evil just as faith is a magnet for good (Job 3:25).

ii) Fear frustrates mentality

A frightened person is a mentally incapacitated person; and you need your mind to fulfil your destiny and arrive at the desired future (Philippians 4:8).

iii) Fear paralyzes action and initiative (1 Kings 19:1-5). 

Fear paralyzes action and initiative. For instance, if someone is told that he is HIV positive and he allows fear to set in, his actions could be paralyzed. He may not make any further plan for his future or take life seriously; rather, he may just be waiting to die. But that shouldn’t be!

iv) Fear equals faith in the wickedness of the devil and doubt in the faithfulness of God (Matthew 14:30-31).

Fear makes a person to exercise faith in the opposite direction, the direction of the wickedness of the devil, which equals disaster. 

v) Fear paralyzes acceleration

When a person is frozen with fear, his progress in life and destiny is arrested (1 Kings 19:1-5).

Beloved, I counsel you to deal decisively with fear in order to fulfil your destiny.

Remember this: Fear is a magnet for evil just as faith is a magnet for good.

AN OUTWARD SHOW OF AN INNER TRUTH

AN OUTWARD SHOW OF AN INNER TRUTH .* *Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD (Psalm 134:2).* Have you ever wondered why oftentimes, people look towards the sky when we say, “Let us pray?” It’s actually an outward show of an inner truth, of something spiritual, because the Father isn’t in the sky but inside us; He lives in you. So, don’t get confused by the motions and outward expressions and gesticulations.  *Psalm 141:2* says, *“Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.”* When David, a prophet of God, wrote this, he was well acquainted with the priesthood ministry of the Old Testament in the old tabernacle. He spoke prophetically and likened the evening sacrifice in the Old Testament to the lifting of our hands in worship today.  Also, the Bible says, *“Lift up your hands in the sanctuary, and bless the LORD”* *(Psalm 134:2).* The Apostle Paul reiterated the same thing; he understood the imp

*DON’T CONDEMN OTHERS

 .* *Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven (Matthew 5:16).* In your life, don’t be too quick to find fault with others. Don’t give in to the urge to condemn. The Bible says the Lord Jesus has been  *“…ordained by God to be Judge of the living and the dead”*  *(Acts 10:42 NKJV).* He alone is the true Judge, and He’s rich in mercy. There may be some people around you, perhaps, even in your local church that may not be living right; don’t judge them. Instead, be the light that wins them over. That’s what Jesus said in our theme verse.  One of the reasons people may not be living right where you are may be that your light isn’t shining brightly enough. When a Christian condemns other Christians about their way of life, he may think he’s being spiritual when it’s actually an expression of carnality. Don’t write anyone off because of their errors; Jesus also paid the price for their mistakes. He took resp
