Topic: THE ANTIDOTE TO FEAR
Text: Read: Act 18:12-17
Daily Bible Study: Gen. 33-34; Matt. 9

“For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.” (2 Tim. 1:7)

Do you live in fear? If you are constantly afraid, then you are living behind bars stronger than steel, even if you don’t see the bars physically. Apostle Paul, along with many other Biblical heroes, discovered the antidote to fear, which is faith in Christ Jesus! When you realize that God is in total control of your life, fear will be banished. In the book of Acts 18:1-17, we see God strengthening Paul at a time when discouragement could have defeated him.
Apostle Paul’s faith in God took away all fear from him. Paul became bold and willing to go to any length to preach the Gospel. To help him, God provided Paul with godly friends like Aquila and Priscilla who came to Corinth from Rome to help and strengthen Paul at a time he really needed true believers around him, to help him. God also encouraged Paul in his ministry by helping him perform great signs and wonders. This strengthened Paul and assured him that God was with him. Additionally, God spoke to Paul in visions, urging him to go ahead and win more souls (Acts 18:9-10).
If we strike out fear and bring in faith, we make ourselves ready vessels for God’s use. When you desire to honour and serve God, He will provide for your every need. When your life's goal is to glorify the Lord Jesus Christ, God will always minister to you and supply your needs.

Prayer: Merciful God, thank You for Your loving kindness unto me. Increase my faith and encourage me to do Your will and serve You fearlessly. I pray in Jesus’ name – Amen.

WAKE UP NIGERIAN YOUTHS!'~~~ "Awolowo was 37 years, Akintola 36, Ahmadu Bello 36, Balewa 34, Okotie-Eboh 27 and Enahoro 27 And they led the struggle for Nigeria Independence after the death of Macaulay. Only Zik was 42 at the time! In 1966, the first military coup was led by K Nzeogwu who was 29 years and countered by M.Mohammed 28, T. Danjuma 28, I. Babangida 25, J. Garba 23, Sani Abacha 23, and M. Yar'adua 23, And brought into power Y. Gowon 32, Ojukwu 33, Obasanjo 29, And Buhari 24! Most of the military governors who governed the states under the successive military regimes were under 30 years. Also, the brief democratic dispensation which interjected the military interregnums also saw some Senators and members of the House of Representatives, in particular, populated by persons under 30! Under 30's were also not in short supply with a...
