The way you respond to fear is by taking actions sponsored by Faith.

Learn to recount what the Lord has done before in the face of fear.

Sometimes comfort is an enemy of progress and when it comes to seeking for wisdom as believers we are admonished to embrace the wisdom that comes from God and not the world’s wisdom or strategies which is not bad but just limited.

There is a difference between doing something different to expect a different outcome and doing the same thing because you are convinced that you are right.

2Timothy 1:7

If God has not given us the spirit of fear, then why do so many people still struggle with it?

How can we deal with the fear of failure from the lens of scripture?

Isn’t the battle against fear and failure more about controlling our minds than fighting external circumstances?

How often do we remind ourselves of the power, love, and sound mind that God has already made available to us

2Timothy 1:7

How often do we judge ourselves too soon, limiting our potential because our circumstances don’t align with what we think success looks like?

Why do so many of us, even as believers, allow fear to control our actions and decisions?

What would happen if we saw every challenge through the eyes of faith, knowing there's always a way out?

In this new episode of my podcast, I address “The contrast between Fear and Faith” when dealing with the root cause of Failure. 

2Timothy 1:7

Fear in the face of taking the right decisions can make you compromise on opportunities

Every time you go through a personal experience like failure always ask yourself one question that can deliver you. “WHAT AM I LEARNING?”

Seeking to know what you are called to do is greater that focusing on what you feel you can do based on natural ability.

An open door does not mean it is God’s will for your life. There are some open doors that have moved people out of God’s will for your life.

2 Timothy 1:7

Have you ever failed before? How did you feel? And how did you respond to the failure?

You can’t control when or how failure can catch you unawares but you can control how you respond to the it in terms of your perspective.

Either you see it as a loss or you see it as a lesson. It all depends on your mindset and what you allow your mind to focus on.

It is not God’s will for us to experience fear nonetheless we can fall victim of fear when we do not remind ourselves of the reality of what God has made available for us in Christ

2Timothy 1:7

The foundation of accepting your feelings, conscience and emotions to be true is based on what you hear and what you see which is a resultant effect of your Belief.

Everyone on earth is not born with a predefined idea or knowledge of who they are or what they want.

What we have been told to be true and our past experiences influences who we are now and all that we believe.

We know God through his Creation, his Word, his Son Jesus Christ and by asking him to reveal himself to you.

Ecclesiastes 3:1

You can try to do everything to live your life to it’s fullest and amass all the pleasure, wealth, riches, fame and power independent of yourselves but after the acquisition of it deep within you it still doesn’t give the much desired satisfaction because there will always be something still missing

King Solomon used his life as an example to attempt to answer the question on “Can a man live without God”. And from his research he concluded that all is vanity and the conclusion of the whole matter is to fear God

It’s easy to deny because you’re at the moment enjoying success but according to him a successful life doesn’t automatically translate to a fulfilled life

Ecclesiastes 3:1

A lot of people are living in a cycle sponsored by the need to be financially stable

This is due to a distraction from embracing a mindset that seeks to be financially stable hence working for money or living for money everyday of our lives

Your job is what you are paid to do, your work of fulfillment is what you are called by God to do

It is what you give yourself to that you reap the rewards and benefit from

Purpose is when you know and understand what you were born to accomplish. 

Vision is when you see it in your mind and begin to imagine it and pursue it

Ecclesiastes 3:1

What really matters in understanding the meaning of life is in first understanding the right questions to ask and then understanding the source of the truth to the answers

In discovering God’s purpose for your life, according to Dr Myles Monroe there are 5 basic questions about life that you must have answers to:

1. WHO AM I which talks about IDENTITY

2. WHERE AM I FROM which talks about HERITAGE AND SOURCE

3. WHY AM I HERE which talks about PURPOSE

4. WHAT CAN I DO which talks about POTENTIAL

5. WHERE AM I GOING which talks about DESTINY

Ecclesiastes 3:1

We see only the challenges we face, from the good, the bad and the ugly, whether it’s with our families, our place of work or our friendships and our sense of worth

Sometimes we don’t see what the other party we’re comparing to had to go through to get to that state of satisfaction in terms of their sacrifice or what they’re currently suffering as a result of what we’re comparing our progress to

When your WHY is known, your WHAT becomes easy

2Timothy 1:7
