Fear is an unarmed robber that daily preys on any believer that hasn’t begun to hear what Jesus heard from the father in the days of his flesh. The biblical provision to overcome the fear of tomorrow is not the faith that gave birth to the good reports of Heb. 11:1-39b.
Rather than fall back to our cerebral strength or our carnal minds which remains at enmity with God; we should acknowledge that God is up to something unplanned – that should lead to the healing of our soul. Through their lives, we clearly see that, “one of the most potent seasons when faith actually flourishes is when we don’t know what’s next”.
I recall afresh that the emphasis of God, not just in New Testament, but also in the Old Testament, has always been “BECOMING“, rather than “DOING“, and this remains the sole duty of man; TO BECOME LIKE HIS SON. Heaven desires to help our helplessness here and it’s left to us to tarry with a less-costly commandment of “Believing In His Name” (i.e. in what the Lord Jesus inherited); a philosophy that punctuated various epistles of Apostle John.
There are POWERS FROM GOD and there is THE DIVINE POWER OF GOD, but extremely few believers till date have understood the difference between both, and this remains key to attaining our inheritance in God. The church needs to migrate from ministrations that introduce the gospel to the core aspect of the gospel where the light of Christ’s Faith and God’s Love must be learnt.
It may interest you to know that the first owner and the first person to preach the gospel was God (Rom. 1:1), and his first audience was Adam (Gen. 2:16-17). Believers, ministers, you and I need to learn the core aspects of Gospel of God and this curriculum starts when the God succeeds in weaning us (Isa. 28:9) from the preeminent church meals.
The actual Gospel of Christ unveils God through teachings that reveal Christ (Rom. 16:25b/Eph. 3:3-4) that helps believers in their journey back to The Father (Jn. 13:3)! As churches begin to open their doors to it, the present emphasis on various subjects would change and God’s Glorious/Eternal Power would be unlocked and sons (matured saints) would be born.
