As with everything that gets airbone, there are a few factors to be considered for your flight to be successful and these will be our main focus in the posts ahead.
FEAR
In the classic story of David and Goliath, we learn some interesting facts about fear.
Non of the Israelite soldiers thought of rushing Goliath at once. Non of them thought of alternative methods or weapons to bring down Goliath. Their creativity was stifled. David on the other hand was creative, he used unconvental weapons; a slingshot and a stone! Boy was Goliath surprised!!!
Don’t let fear stifle your creativity. It takes a creative mind to fly high. A creative mind is a fearless mind!
For 40 days they did nothing but wait in fear. Waiting for Goliath to go away! This is exactly how many people live. They bury their heads in the sand like an ostrich and hope their problems go away. Sorry, but it won’t!
David didn’t wait for Goliath, he ran toward him. Don’t wait for your problem or challenge to run it’s course, run toward it and face it head on. Take the proverbial bull by it’s horns.
Come on guys, he is not as big as he looks! You can take him!
The land devours it’s inhabitants? Really?? That was the foolish talk of fear. “We were like grasshoppers…..”. That is the extent to which fear can exaggerate. Fear will make you belittle yourself. It will make you underrate yourself.
“We are not able…”. Fear will always show you want you can’t do, it traps you in ” it’s impossible ” mode. Despite the handsome reward offered for Goliaths head, fear had trapped the Israelite army in it can’t mode. No one even dared give it a try!
Get rid of fear, all things are possible. You just have to believe. Believe in God and believe in yourself. You are not a grasshopper, you have greatness in you! You are well able to defeat Goliath, or whatever your challenge is called. Get rid of fear and you will fly high! Kato Nkhoma is a seasoned Pastor with circa 15 years under his belt.
