THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE



1 John 4:18 (NKJV) says: "There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love."


Fear and love cannot live together. Fear torments, but love brings freedom. Fear looks at punishment, but love looks at forgiveness. The perfect love of God drives away every fear that makes you feel guilty, unworthy, or condemned.


Many people are filled with fear because they think the enemy has power over them. They believe God hates them because of their weakness or wrongs. This fear comes from guilt and condemnation. You may feel that you deserve punishment, so bad things will happen to you. Sometimes you even think God enjoys seeing you suffer for your mistakes.


Maybe you feel like you are in enmity with God, like you are nobody before Him. You think you don’t deserve His protection and help. You feel like an outcast. You fear the devil has rights over you because of your sins, curses, and imperfections. You even judge yourself because you missed Sunday service, failed to pray, wronged someone, or carry guilt from a curse someone spoke over you.


But here is the truth: the love of God can make all these fears disappear. When you know God loves you, you can rest in His presence. His love is not about your self-righteousness—it is about Jesus. The grace of God is not about what you do but about what Jesus did for you. God loves you so much that He gave His Son for you. If He gave Jesus, how much more will He freely give you His protection, peace, and blessing?


You don’t deserve the bad things the devil threatens you with. God does not want you to suffer. He wants you free, loved, and bold. Today, allow His love to set your heart free from all fear.


Prayer: Lord Jesus, fill my heart with Your love and drive away every fear from my life.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
