READ YOUR RHAPSODY OF REALITIES DAILY DEVOTIONAL. BE COURAGEOUS WITH THE TRUTH - PASTOR CHRIS OYAKHILOME. SATURDAY, JULY 9TH, 2016.
Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands. For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:6-7).
There’re many in the world who are yet to hear the Gospel of Christ. In some places, Christians are attacked and killed, with many forbidden to profess Jesus openly. But none of these is new. The apostles faced similar persecutions, but they remained courageous until the end.
We must therefore be courageous with the truth in the days in which we live. Courage is the ability and the will to do what’s right or necessary even in the face of threats or adversity. It’s the will and ability to stand for what’s right in spite of opposition. Therefore, be courageous in affirming your faith in Christ, no matter who your adversaries are.
Be courageous in giving life, strength, and light to others. Courage is what got the Church of Jesus Christ to where it is today. The apostles and prophets of old weren’t afraid of kings, nobles and wicked dictators who opposed the Gospel; they sure weren’t afraid to die. Fear is the biggest killer in the world. Many people die, not out of persecution, but out of fear. Refuse to fear!
There’re only two that have a responsibility for your life, whether you live or die: God and you. If God doesn’t sanction it, no one can kill you. If you say no, then it can’t happen, but if you let fear in, then you become a victim.
Therefore, be strengthened with the strength of God; refuse to fear any man, systems or governments. Affirm your faith in Jesus Christ as the Lord of your life, and be bold to preach the Gospel without fear or intimidation.
CONFESSION:
The greater One lives in me, and I’m sufficient in His sufficiency. My life is hid with Christ in God, and as I go forth, fulfilling the will of God, nothing shall by any means hurt me. By the power of the Spirit, I’m hauling the souls of men from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
