Don’t be afraid to take a step! 

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. Deuteronomy 31:6 

 

Every person will take a step at one phase of their lives; whether it is easy or difficult to achieve, a step will be required of them to take to move to a new dimension. 

There’s a key factor that the Devil uses to scare away people of God from taking a step, and this key factor is fear. Fear if harbored in one's life will make such a one fearful from pressing forward to the next step. In Deuteronomy 31:6, Moses knew that fear could keep the children of Israel from pressing forward to the next phase, he had to tell them to be courageous and be conscious of God’s presence. He also reminded them of testimonies of how God used them to defeat the kings of Amorites, Sihon, and Og; and will not be hard for him to defeat other nations.

In Deuteronomy 31:4-6, the Bible made known that testimonies can be use to conquer fears trying to stop you from taking a step. Another example was David who used His testimonies on the victory he had over the lion and the bear which came attacking, to conquer the fear of Goliath. David needed to take a step, however he needed to defeat fear at first to be able to face Goliath.

Dear readers, I believe you have been blessed by God’s word today. Give no chance to fear, always remember steps God helped you to take that seemed impossible for you to do, same God can help you take greater steps. Give no room for fear.

 

Devotional prayer: Father make me courageous and help me to overcome every fears of my life in Jesus Name amen.
