FAITH CAPSULE: Have faith that drowns the fear of the world and not have a place.

Job1, 2:1-10

Do you fear God or not?
One with no fear of God consciously extends an invitation to the enemy of all.
The word of God described Job, “…blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil. And he had seven sons and three daughters. Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yokes of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East.” (Job 1:1-3)
Job was a man of God.
He was straight with God, but he was not sure of the walk of his children with God.
Job was constantly sanctifying his children.
Job was rising early in the morning to offer burnt offerings according to the number of his children, as stated: “It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” (Job 1:4-5)
After Satan was allowed by God to attack Job, he lost his properties, his children, and his health.
By virtue of all his adversities, he deplores his birth by cursing the day of his birth.
On top of it all, Job gave a testimony, “For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, and what I dreaded has happened to me. I am not at ease, nor am I quiet; I have no rest, for trouble comes.” (Job 3:25-26) What could have been the fear of Job?
Job became exposed to fear as he opened himself up to the fear of the world.
Fear is not of God; fear is the initiation of evil.
Whenever fear rises in life, faith will sink.
Fear and faith do not complement each other.
What could have happened to Job to be exercising great fear?
One with a lack of understanding of the extent of protective covering of God over the affairs of all in the areas of our concern will possibly be exposed to fear and not have faith.
Clearly, God is not pleased without faith.
Unfortunately, Satan knew the extent of the protection of God over Job when he mentioned that God had made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he had on every side. (Job 1:10)
When God makes you impenetrable, do not make yourself penetrable for Satan.
One with a lack of understanding of what God can do shall become exposed to Satan, to gain a position with pain.
Psalmist states, “A man who is in honor, yet does not understand, is like the beasts that perish.” (Psalm 49:20)
All should know that God is mindful of all, He visits, and He crowns with glory and honor. (Psalm 8:4-5)
Give yourself to the word of God to know and understand that God delivers and preserves.

Prayer for today: Ask that faith in God rise in your life, as fear of the world be drowned and not have a place in your life.
