YOU DO NOT HAVE TO WORRY

SCRIPTURE READING - 📖 Psalms 30:5

“For His anger is but for a moment. His favor is for life; Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.”

Additional Verses

📖 Job 42:10-17; Matthew 6:25-34

Worry comes about in the lives of many children of God when they are faced with adverse pressure. Many forget that such adverse pressure does not come from within them but is from outside. Such adverse pressure may be as a result of bodily sickness, disease or demonic afflictions. Where you allow any of these to put you under subjection, you become worried. Remember that worry does not make whatever situation you may be subjected to, any better. Instead it worsens your situation. Worry and more worry will reduce your anointing. Matthew 6:34 says, “Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Worry opens windows and doors to doubt. Where there is doubt there is little or weak faith in God. As a born again child of God, you must know that whatever causes worry is like birds flying over your head. You can never stop them from doing that unless you are indoors. But what you should never allow the birds to do, is to land on your head, let alone to build their nests on your head. If you find them doing that, you must immediately chase them away. Where worry is allowed to have an upper hand in your life therefore, it is just like allowing birds to land and build nests on your head and they may even go on to lay eggs and hatch there. Worry is a sign of immaturity in the nine virtues of the fruit of the Spirit in you mentioned in Galatians 5:22-23, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faithfulness, meekness and self-control. It is further an absence of the development of the sevenfold graces of the LORD leading to the fullness of the Spirit of God in your life. In other words, even though you are born again and received the Spirit of the LORD upon your life you still lack development in the Spirit of Wisdom, the Spirit of Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel, the Spirit of Might, the Spirit of Knowledge and the Spirit of the fear of the LORD according to Isaiah 11:2. You are still a baby and not a Son in the presence of God. John 1:12 says, “But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name.” Sons of God will always respond to adverse situations against them, according to God’s Word. In the above text, you are being reminded that outside pressures are but for a very short time while God’s favor is only for those who will remain steadfast upon His Word, no matter the size of the adversity. In Matthew 6:25-34 Jesus Christ teaches us that worry will not benefit you anything at all but it is seeking after the kingdom of God and His righteousness that will make much available in you. You must therefore cast all your cares upon the LORD as Apostle Peter has said in 1 Peter 5:6-7, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time; casting all your care upon him; for He cares for you.” . Job put all his trust in the LORD God, and in the end he received many blessings upon His life, all that he had lost, was restored twice as much as he had before. – Job 42:10. Alleluia!

Prayer

Almighty Father, I thank You for the great love that You show me that is unconditional. Help me to always remember that I should not worry whenever I am in any situation for joy always comes as long as I persevere and remain steadfast in prayer. Thank You Father, in Jesus Christ’s name. Amen.
