Beloved, Why do we fear others’ disapproval so much? The fear of man is a snare that brings compromise. It binds you and keeps you from the strength and might of the Holy Spirit . The fear of man can immobilize us when we should take action, and gag us into silence when we should speak. It feels powerful, but its power is deceptive. The Lord is strong and mighty in battle... (Psalm 24:8). *“God has the power to free us from the fear of man”.* The Lord is not a Politician. Jesus Christ is full of compassion. He loves and helps people who call on His Name. He also likes to confront the enemy and destroy the works of darkness . (1 John 3:8) God has the power to free us and He wants us living in the safe freedom of trusting Him. But He frees us not by removing our fear of disapproval, but transferring it to the right place. And typically, He frees us by helping us face our false fears so that they lose their power over us. The person to whom we ascribe most authority ( — to define who we are, — what we’re worth, — what we should do, and how we should do it ) is the person we fear the most, because it is the person whose approval we *want* most. You *Obey* the One You *Fear* “Being afraid of people can get you into trouble, but if you trust the Lord, you will be safe.” (Proverb 29:15) Please let us direct our love and fear to God. Always create a conducive environment for His Presence . Remember, Paul and Silas in (Acts 16:25-26).the two missionaries are not in a conducive environment for the presence of God but they decided to create their own. Praise is a prerequisite for God’s presence. Give thanks and Praise Him always. Turn the ‘Prison’ into an “Eden” of God’s Presence. Just like Paul and Silas did. Shalom. Pst. Dele
