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.

ALWAYS SEEK DIVINE CLARITY

You Need Clarity of Purpose

When Clarity is Blurry...

August 24, 2025
In 2017, I applied to speak at TEDx. Rejected. In 2018, I applied again. Rejected. In 2019, I applied twice—both times, again, rejected. But I didn’t stop. Why? Because I was stubborn about my purpose. Like the widow in Luke 18 who kept returning to the judge, pleading for justice, I kept showing up. I kept believing that one day, the door would open. Eventually, it did. That TEDx stage didn’t come because I was the most eloquent or the most visible—it came because I refused to give up. I’ve learnt that any success you desire in life will demand persistence. Not talent, not applause, not connections—persistence. When all else fails, try persistence. When clarity is blurry, try persistence. When the applause is absent and the doors are locked—try persistence. Seest thou a man diligent in his work? He shall stand before kings (Proverbs 22:29). If I could share one counsel with every dreamer, it would be this: Be stubborn about your purpose. Be relentless in your pursuit. For in due season, you will reap—if you faint not. I believe in you.
