FEAR OF THE UNKNOWN

The greatest threat to a person's life is the fear of the unknown. 
So many people; especially relatively younger men and women move out each day with so much fear that threatens their day to day activity.
To the younger man, he is scared and afraid of life, afraid of the future and wondering each day if he is going to make it in life. He looks at himself; no job,no degree,no helper or money in his pocket and then he begins to carry such mentality into his life as he grows up. Because his father died a poor man, he is keen to believe no good can ever come out of him. Beloved, let me shock you this morning; every time you worry, you give the devil reasons to laugh at you.
To most young ladies, they are scared they may never get married! Because their aunt ended up without a husband, they begin to fear and are afraid of the things ahead; you hear them say it is a trend in our family that no one ever gets married after 30. Let me shock you again; that is the lie of the devil. Don't allow fear steal your joy and hold you captive. Whatsoever is yours, claim it and proclaim it and no devil can ever take it away from you.
So many are led with a vision to begin something, but they are scared; can i make it? will i ever make it? Would customers/clients come? what would people say? you see when you do that, you  are caged and the zeal to begin dies.
Most married women are afraid they may never have kids because of their past; they were meant to believe nothing good can ever come out from their marriage because of the things they did or have done in the past. Beloved, the greatest threat the devil can give to a person is accusing them especially if they have previously done something bad in the past. But you know what? sin and the past no longer have dominion over you the very day you gave and surrendered your life to Christ. The fear of the unknown is just the devil's way of cheating you of your right and privileges.
The very day Christ died for you, He took your past, He took your sin, and He made you free. Free from sin, free from guilt and free from the fear of the unknown. So, rise up today and be accountable, stand firm in Christ and claim all He has given to you. No more fear; The past is gone, You are forgiven and Christ now reigns in you.
