"Fear not for I am with you...I will help you (Isaiah 41:10)
 Life is full of challenges. If you ever wish for a day when you will not have challenges, it simply means you are tired of living. Oppositions will come but our God is always with us. One thing you must not do is fear. The greatest hindrance to God's help is fear. And fear is an offspring of doubt or unbelief. Satan introduces fear by making you shift your focus from the greatness of God. You know you are in fear when God suddenly becomes small and your problem becomes HUGE! God said, "...They that strive with thee shall perish. Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them..." (Isaiah 41:11-12). Don't fear your oppositions! When God is helping you, your oppositions cannot last. That is why the Psalmist said, "Give us help from trouble: for vain is the help of man. Through God we shall do valiantly: for HE it is that shall tread down our enemies" (Psalm 60:11-12). We find also the story of Jehoshaphat in 2 Chronicles 20:1-25 when three nations came against Judah. At first Jehoshaphat feared but he remembered that he could seek the Lord and call for help, so he gathered all the people of Judah together and as they fasted and prayed, Jehoshaphat said to the Lord, "...We have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee." After they prayed, God took over the battle, set ambushment against their enemies and for three days they were gathering the spoils. Are you tormented, afflicted or oppressed by oppositions? Cry out to God and He will send you help!
Stay above... always.
