Fighting Your Fears

Pastor Adekoye Sanni
Fear is an emotion that is produced by perceived thoughts. The 3 things that cause us to fear are - we think God cannot help us, this thing will shame me, and this thing will kill me. But we should ultimately be careful of what we fear. There are 2 types of fears: beneficial fear and destructive fear.

Destructive Fear:
1. Torments you
2. Paralyzes you, Restrict/limits you

Beneficial Fear "Fear of God":
1. Evil will depart from us. Proverbs 16:6
2. Beginning of Wisdom. Psalm 111:10, Proverbs 1:7
3. Obedience to God Almighty. Deuteronomy 17:19
4. Riches and Honor Proverbs 22:4

We shouldn't fear situations or people because the fear will not solve the problem. Our knowledge of God must increase for our fear in people or situations to decrease. Live in the fear of God rather than the fear of man, the fear of man will only lead to destruction while the fear of God will lead to prosperity.Pastor Adekoye Sanni
