8 The Lord says, “You, Israel, are my servant.
Jacob, I chose you.
You are from the family of my friend, Abraham.
9 You were in a faraway country,
but I reached out to you.
I called you from that faraway place.
I said, ‘You are my servant.’
I chose you,
and I have not rejected you.
10 Don’t worry—I am with you.
Don’t be afraid—I am your God.
I will make you strong and help you.
I will support you with my right hand that brings victory.
11 Look, some people are angry with you,
but they will be ashamed and disgraced.
Your enemies will be lost and disappear.
12 You will look for the people who were against you,
but you will not be able to find them.
Those who fought against you
will disappear completely.
13 I am the Lord your God,
who holds your right hand.
And I tell you, ‘Don’t be afraid!
I will help you.’
14 People of Israel, descendants of Jacob, you may be weak and worthless,
but do not be afraid.
I myself will help you.”
This is what the Lord himself says.
“I am the Holy One of Israel,
the one who saves you.
MFM MOUNTAIN TOP LIFE DEVOTIONAL MESSAGE:
“Fear not” means that there is no reason for you to be afraid or worried. There is absolutely nothing for you to fear as a child of God. God demands from you, as His child, faith, not fear. Faith in Him as the Lord over the totality of your life gives you strength that overcomes all fears, both real and imagined.
Fear has been a part of man since the fall of Adam and Eve in Genesis 3:8-10. Everyone, regardless of how brave they seem, is afraid of something but the good thing is that for every day in a year, the Word of God has made a provision for you not to be afraid of any situation.
This is so because the command “fear not” appeared 365 times in the Bible and there are 365 days in a year.
Beloved, you can see that God is wonderful. Even before you are born, there is a provision and God’s assurance that He cares about you. In Matthew 10:30-31, Jesus said that God is aware of everything that happens even to sparrows and you are far more valuable to Him than sparrows. You are so valuable to Him to the extent of sending His only Son to die for you.
So, you need not to fear personal threats or difficult trials because you are not alone. Jesus is with you in all your journeys, trials, tests or tribulation. In John 16:33, He assured you that He has overcome the world. If you agree with this promise and assurance that Jesus gave us ultimate victory, you can claim the peace of Christ in the most troublesome times.
Fear is the opposite of faith and without faith you cannot please God. Fear is to doubt God and no doubter can receive anything from God. In fact, doubt is a terrible sin before God. This was what made the children of God to wander in the wilderness for 40 years instead of 40 days journey.
Beloved, the first step to take for you to live above fear and in faith is to give your life to Christ. That is when you can successfully wage war against the spirit of fear and claim the promises of God for your life in Isaiah 41:8-14 – today’s fire scripture.
PRAYER POINTS:

3. Holy Spirit, strengthen my spirit man, in the Name of Jesus Christ.
EVENING
4. Lord, increase my faith in You, in the Name of Jesus Christ.
5. Holy Spirit, overshadow my life, in the Name of Jesus Christ.
6. My life, jump out of the cage of the enemy, in the Name of Jesus Christ.
7. Lord, let me experience the glory of Your presence, in the Name of Jesus.
