not, for God is in control. God says in our text above that He is with you, He will strengthen you and not only that, He said He will also help you, so, if God who cannot lie has promised to help you, why are you still afraid? Our economy may be bad, fear not, for our supply is not from earth, but from heaven. Phil 4v19 says: “And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus,”( NKJV). God does not look at the economy of a nation before he supplies your need, so, whatever be the situation, fear not; our God is more than able to provide for you. If he can feed the lilies in the field that can be scorched by the sun anytime, can he not take care of you whom he created in own image and likeness? Of course, he will do it more for you, so cheer up and trust in Him.

Our second scriptural text above, 2Tim. 1v7 says: “For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power of love and of a sound mind.” As beloved children of God, we are given spirit of power, not of fear, because our father in heaven is all powerful, He has the power to save, deliver, bless, favour, fight our battles and above all, He has power to grant us heaven at last, so, be joyful and rejoice in the Lord! Prov 28v1 says: “The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.”

God has made the righteous to be bold; therefore, there is no need to fear. It does not matter what the world is turning to, hold on to God. Once you are with God, fear cannot take hold of you.

Ps 46: 1- 6 says: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2: Therefore, we will not fear, even though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea. 3: Though its waters roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with its swelling. Selah! 4: There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most High. 5: God is in the midst of her, she shall not be moved; God shall help her… NKJV. What is that trouble that is making you to fear? God is at hand to deal with it. Trust in God with all your heart, whatever the enemyordev­il is bringing to your way, shall be dealt with, because God Who has promised, is able to fulfill it. The Psalmist has said it all, that even if the earth be removed and mountains carried into the midst of the sea, among other things, do not fear. God is able to calm the troubled situation, so, be encouraged and stand firm with the Lord.

Note thatas sin brought fear in the life of Adam and Eve, so shall it cause anyone given to it to continue to fear.

In conclusion, run from any form of sin so that iniquity will not be your ruin. Righteousn­ess exalts a nation, but sin a reproach. Make a firm decision today to begin to live holy and God will bless you.

And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus,”( NKJV).
