    FEAR NO EVIL

     

    “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” 

    Psalm 23:4 (NKJV)

     
    As much as we enjoy the leadings of the Good Shepherd, it does not suggest we will not be confronted by challenges.
     
    This is the reason the Shepherd is also the protector and defense of the flock.
     
    To walk in the valley of the shadow of death, is to be overwhelmed or hedged in and surrounded by some dark experience intended to create fear of destruction. This “valley of the shadow of death” is not the dwelling or destination of the sheep. When you find yourself in such situations, know that you are not dwelling there. You walk through it!
    The “shadow of death” speaks of the “grave” (figuratively calamity). Well, in the midst of such situations, you have a greater assurance.
    You are under the care of the Good Shepherd. His presence with you is your confidence and audacity.
    Don’t get troubled and feel threatened because you are confronted by a difficult situation. Yours is to trust the GOOD SHEPHERD. 
    In your most difficult moments, who do you speak to?
     
    From the first verses of Psalm 23, the Psalmist was addressing his readers, and referred to the Shepherd as the third person – “HE”.
     
    But from verse 4, David begins to refer to the Shepherd in the second person – “YOU”.
     
    He was no longer addressing his readers, he was now addressing his Shepherd.
    This reveals how David turned to his Shepherd in his most difficult times.
    He makes the Lord his consciousness.
    The Lord’s presence does not necessarily eradicate the challenges and the dangers of the adversary. However, the Lord’s presence is the haven of care and defense for you in the midst of the most evil situation.
     
    You may definitely be faced with some challenges and situations which seem difficult, DON’T FEAR ANY EVIL. The adversary may even attempt to cast thoughts of a worse scenario on your mind; but refuse to accept those thoughts. 
     
    Refuse to be discouraged. 
     
    Refuse to be afraid for the LORD IS WITH YOU.
    Maybe the Lord leads you into a marriage, or to start a business or ministry, and suddenly everything seems to go bad. Refuse to fear evil. 
    In your family, marriage, business, finances, ministry, career pursuit and journey of success, REMAIN RESOLUTE WITH THIS CERTAINTY THAT THE LORD IS WITH YOU.
     
    You cannot end up as a failure. Don’t accept those thoughts of fear. You will come out of that valley of the shadow of death as a victor!
     
    Remember the RESURRECTION ABILITY OF CHRIST is at WORK IN YOU. Jesus defeated death for you to enjoy the fullness of His life.
    You have conquered all powers of death.
    Walk in victory!
     
    FEAR NO EVIL.
     
    Hallelujah.

    PRAYER:
    I pray declaring the victory of the Lord and the manifestation of the power of His presence in the midst of every evil situation. I overcome every challenge by the power of the Lord’s presence. IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

    – I refuse to be discouraged.
     
    – I refuse to be afraid for the LORD IS WITH ME.
     
    – I trust in the GOOD SHEPHERD therefore I fear no evil.
     
    – I walk through everyday of my life with this consciousness.
     
    – I have conquered all powers of death.
     
    – I remain absolute in this certainty.
     
    – I walk in victory everyday.
     
    Oh Glory to God! Hallelujah!

    THE HAVEN OF ALL CONCEPTIONS

    “Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life” Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)

    The instruction of the Lord is always to our advantage. God knows your constitution and how you can best walk in the consummation of your divine call.
     
    And the interesting thing is, whatever God instructs man on, the adversary goes after it.
     
    So in Eden, when God instructed man concerning the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the adversary went after it. Whatever God is interested in concerning your life, the adversary develops interest for it. 
     
    Don’t give him access!
     
    One of the crucial things the adversary takes interest in, is the heart of man.
     
    The heart of man is the seat of all thoughts and all feelings.
     
    The complexity of man’s constitution is intriguing beyond what has been accumulated. Man’s entire being is as a universe. And that is how God sees man.
     
    If eternity can be assimilated into man who lives in time, that should let you know the extent of man’s wonder.
     
     The Bible says, “….He has set eternity in the heart of man…..” Ecclesiastes 3:11
     
    It means man has the capacity to travel into “eternal future and eternal past.”
     
    So you can consider the Prophet Moses, he was inspired by God to write the book of Genesis. He articulated the creative work of God, as though he was walking with God side by side, whiles He was creating the universe.
     
    How was it possible?
     
    It was through the influence of God’s vision in his heart.
     
    In all of man’s constitution, the center of his being is THE HEART!
     
    A man’s heart is as a womb or a haven of conception.
     
    Nothing happens in a man’s life or world without first beginning as a seed in the heart of man.
     
    Thoughts are first cultivated in the heart of man.
     
    Life is predictable.
     
    There is nothing like unpredictable event in life. Anything that happens within time is as a result of a man’s thought and action. 
     
    Whatever you want to see manifest in your life, you must take conceptualized and predictable steps. That is the role of the heart.
     
    The difference between those that make great impact and those that struggle to make an impact is the condition of their heart.
     
    “Listen carefully, my dear child, to everything that I teach you, and pay attention to all that I have to say. Fill your thoughts with my words until they penetrate deep into your spirit. Then, as you unwrap my words, they will impart true life and radiant health into the very core of your being. 
    So above all, guard the affections of your heart, for they affect all that you are. Pay attention to the welfare of your innermost being, for from there flows the wellspring of life.  Avoid dishonest speech and pretentious words. Be free from using perverse words no matter what!”
    Proverbs 4:20-24(TPT)
     
    Beloved, the entire construction of your life is in your heart. 
     
    You must give attention to the things you construct in your heart.
     
     
    Selah.
