TOPIC : DEALING WITH THE SPIRIT OF FEAR
TEXT MARK 4 : 37-41
[37]And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
[38]And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
[39]And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
[40]And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
[41]And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?
Jesus was on a journey with His disciples, but mid sea, Satan attacked them with a fiery storm.
They woke up Jesus who was asleep in a pillow and asked Him if He was not worried that They may all perish.
Jesus stood up and rebuked the storm.
Jesus then asked them two questions.
1. Why are you so fearful?
2. How is it that you have no faith?
From these questions we can deduce that their fear and faithlessness was helping Satan in achieving his goal
Whenever fear strikes,
It is the devil at work.
If you are not resisting fear, you are not resisting Satan.
Resist the devil and he will flee.
God bless you.
With the God I serve, nothing shall be impossible.
Your case is not bigger than God.
May you have a God filled day in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
Your Victory is already guaranteed
It is well, do not give up, with God all things to are possible
(Please be a blessing to seven persons by sending to them our devotionals)
