Boldness In Crisis

Apostle Grace Lubega

1 John 4:18(KJV); There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

A man perfected in the love of God is bold regardless of the circumstance he finds himself in.

The Bible says in 1 John 4:17, “Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.”

How does a bold man behave? Like our theme scripture says, perfect love casts out fear.

This means that a bold Christian is a fearless Christian.

The proof that you are perfected in the love of God is when you don’t walk in fear.

The bold one leans on the love of God when he receives a bad report from the doctor; he leans on that love when the economy is bad; he leans on the love of God when he loses a job; he leans on the love of God when everything around him seems to imply that God has left him.

Such a one assures himself that what he faces is not the end of his ministry, his career, his marriage or his life.

The Bible says in Psalms 91:5 that you shall not be afraid of the terror by night nor the arrow that flies by day.
That kind of Christian does not draw back because the love of God that he has embraced leaves no room for fear.

Refuse to be afraid of anything no matter how terrible it might seem because you know who loves you and whose you are.
Glory to God!

GOLDEN NUGGET:

The proof that you are perfected in the love of God is when you don’t walk in fear.

PRAYER: Loving father, I thank you for this Word. I receive it with great gladness of heart. Today I stand in the boldness of one who knows she is loved by the Lord; one who has understood that nothing can separate me from the love that I have in you. Nothing shakes or moves me because I know that I am yours and that you will never allow destruction to come near me; you will never suffer me to see corruption. This is the liberty with which I live my life. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
