READ: Isaiah 41:10-14
- Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.
- Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded: they shall be as nothing; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
- Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.
- For I the LORD thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.

MESSAGE:
Fear is an enemy that paralyses a persons potential to achieve greatness. It deceives its victim into magnifying a challenging situation above God. Fear is one tool the enemy finds most useful in making the children of God suffer failure, pain and destruction of destiny. Often times, people don’t know that Satan blows things out of proportion just to make them afraid.
While there are some really terrifying situations that can throw one off balance, God still tells us not to be afraid as long as He’s with us. Thus, rather than stay afraid, face your fear by rebuking it. Also, do the exact thing you fear; for instance, if you are afraid of the dark, lock yourself in a dark room and silence fear. If you’re afraid of writing an exam, prepare for it and write it knowing that Gods word says:
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” – Isaiah 41:10
When you face fear headlong with God on your side, it will flee.
KEY POINT
God has not given you the spirit of fear, so rebuke it.
HYMN: Standing On The Promises Of God
- Standing on the promises
of Christ, our King,
Thro’ eternal ages let
His praises ring;
Glory in the highest,
I will shout and sing,
Standing on the promises of God.
CHORUS
Standing, standing,
Standing on the promises of God, my Saviour;
Standing, standing,
I’m standing on the promises of God.
- Standing on the promises
that cannot fail.
When the howling storms of
doubt and fear assail,
By the living word of God
I shall prevail,
Standing on the promises of God. - Standing on the promises
I now can see
Perfect, present cleansing
in the blood for me;
Standing in the liberty
where Christ makes free,
Standing on the promises of God. - Standing on the promises
of Christ, the Lord,
Bound to Him eternally
by love’s strong cord,
Overcoming daily with
the Spirit’s sword,
Standing on the promises of God.
