FIGHTING FEARS

Fighting Fears

Fighting fear starts with what we believe.


Often, our fears stem from misconceptions about God, our loved ones, and the people around us. We may unknowingly harbor negative beliefs, assuming the worst about others or doubting God's goodness. But what if we could reframe these thoughts and replace fear with faith?


When it comes to God, do you believe He's loving and kind, or distant and uninvolved? Our perception of God's character greatly impacts our ability to trust Him in uncertain times. If we believe God is good, we'll be more likely to trust Him with our fears and worries. Let's focus on His goodness and promises, allowing His love to dispel fear.


In our relationships, do we assume the worst about our spouse or others, or do we choose to believe the best? Our beliefs about others can lead to fear, anxiety, or stress. When we assume negative intentions or expect the worst, we create a self-fulfilling prophecy. But when we choose to believe the best, we open ourselves up to deeper connections and more harmonious relationships. Let's work on building trust and understanding, fostering healthy relationships.


We must become mindful of what we believe about God, our spouse, and people around us, so we can combat fear and cultivate a more peaceful, loving heart. Let's choose to believe truth, not lies, and watch our lives transform. Remember, our beliefs have the power to either fuel fear or overcome it. Choose faith, and watch fear fade away.


Additionally, here are some practical steps to help you fight fear by being mindful of your beliefs:


- Identify negative beliefs and challenge them with truth

- Focus on God's goodness and promises

- Practice trust and understanding in your relationships

- Choose to believe the best about others

- Cultivate a mindset of faith and positivity


Remember, fighting fear is a journey, and it starts with what we believe.


Choose faith over fear.

Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
