Topic: Reject Fear
Bible Reading: Genesis 20:1-11 (KJV)
1And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.
3But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, for the woman which thou hast taken; for she is a man’s wife.
4But Abimelech had not come near her: and he said, Lord, wilt thou slay also a righteous nation?
5Said he not unto me, She is my sister? and she, even she herself said, He is my brother: in the integrity of my heart and innocency of my hands have I done this.
6And God said unto him in a dream, Yea, I know that thou didst this in the integrity of thy heart; for I also withheld thee from sinning against me: therefore suffered I thee not to touch her.
7Now therefore restore the man his wife; for he is a prophet, and he shall pray for thee, and thou shalt live: and if thou restore her not, know thou that thou shalt surely die, thou, and all that are thine.
8Therefore Abimelech rose early in the morning, and called all his servants, and told all these things in their ears: and the men were sore afraid.
9Then Abimelech called Abraham, and said unto him, What hast thou done unto us? and what have I offended thee, that thou hast brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to be done.
10And Abimelech said unto Abraham, What sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing?
11And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.
KEY VERSE: “And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will slay me for my wife’s sake.” Genesis 20:11
Message
Fear is a natural response to danger. It brings torment to the body. This is one of the weapons used by our archenemy (Satan). Fear can be triggered by past experiences, failures, death, insecurity etc. it is ‘False Experiences Appearing Real’.
However, sin is the greatest tool that provokes fear. Abraham in our Bible passage told a lie because of fear. God was not happy with his action. His fear brought punishment upon the women in Abimelech’s house. God has not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
You have power in the name of Jesus; power in the blood of Jesus and power in the Word of God to conquer in all situations. To possess this confidence, you need Jesus if you are still telling lies; stealing; abusing and doing all manner of evil. Come to Jesus and He will save you from sin, fear and Satan.
PRAYER FOR TODAY
Heavenly Father, give me the Spirit of love; sound mind and boldness in Jesus’ name.

2. Repent now. "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out ...[for] if we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness " (Acts 3:19, 1 John 1:9)
3. Believe that God loves you and Jesus died for you. "God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet Sinners, Christ died for us" (Romans 5:8)
4. Invite Jesus into your life through prayer of faith. Jesus says, "Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me" (Revelation 3:20)
