OVERCOMING ANXIETY

15TH NOVEMBER, 2021

BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Acts 11-12

FIRE SCRIPTURE: Matthew 6:25-30

25 “Therefore I say to you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink; nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food and the body more than clothing? 

26 Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

 27 Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?

28 “So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;

 29 and yet I say to you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 

30 Now if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will He not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

MEMORY VERSE: ”Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” Isaiah 26:3

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:

The only way you can experience internal peace is to disallow any situation from controlling you, and hand your concerns to God.

PRAISE WORSHIP: Take a worship song as led by the Holy Spirit.

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
I DECREE THAT EVERY PROBLEM ASSIGNED TO WEARY YOUR EXISTENCE SHALL EXPIRE TODAY, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.

THE MESSAGE:

Anxiety is common to man. Every human being gets anxious at one time or the other. It becomes a concern when a person is no longer in control of himself or herself. When anxiety takes over a person's life, it becomes a disorder, mentally or emotionally, making the victim to think and behave irrationally.

Anxiety is generated from excessive worry which is an unprofitable venture that doesn't proffer any solution. Rather, it compounds the situation. God warns us to desist from worry. Worry, a close ally of anxiety, operates subtly from inside, killing it's victim slowly. When you are anxious, you are already working against divine counsel. And why should you, when you can take your matter to God in prayer. Anxiety will surely occur when you take the control of your life away from God.

Stop and think deeply. How many problems have you solved under your state of worry and anxiety? Worry and anxiety only make the burden heavier! What an unprofitable venture and time wastage.

Worry and anxiety are always counter-productive. They feed your doubt and starve or kill your faith. They birth discouragement, pessimism, despondency and failure. They are negative emotions that champions do not give room to thrive in their lives. Beloved, it is your responsibility to guard your heart and life from all these negative emotions. Keep them out and if they creep in, prayerfully bind the spirits behind them and cast them out of your life. When we exhibit worry and anxiety, we only show that our faith and trust in God is not intact. Don't ever allow your faith in God to falter or wane. The Psalmist said, "Anytime I am afraid, I will trust in God." Let that be your guiding principle also.

Amazingly, the Master Burden Bearer, Jesus, calls on you to come to Him. He will lighten your burden and ease your yokes (Matthew 11:28-30).

Give God a chance in your struggles. Surrender to Jesus and He will give you peace over your worries and anxieties.
