No Fear in The Kingdom

 No Fear in the Kingdom 

Luke.12.32 - "Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.

A notable and uncompromising attribute of the Kingdom- the presence of God is absolute peace and serenity.  Wherever there's the reign of God, there's peace,  joy and harmony.  God is never an author of confusion, chaos or threats.  The kingdom of this world is full of fear, war and terror. Darkness brings fear, worry, doubts and disappointment .  When the scripture urges us not to be anxious,  it's because it's never an act of the kingdom.  Anxiety and fear belongs to the wicked, and the end  result is pain and death. Isa. 48:22. Ps. 68:6.

In Psalm 1, the righteous is compared to a tree planted by the river side. No reason to fear whether in rain or drought.  No panicking whether it's cold or hot, there will always be supply.  Because it's located  and established beside the source of water.  When you reside in the Kingdom,  there's no reason to fear. It's only the wicked that will be tossed to and from like chaff before the wind. The kingdom is a place of sure protection. The name of the Lord is a strong tower,  the righteous run into it and are safe, Pro.  18:10. Salvation is of the Lord,  regardless of your little abilities when you are with God you victory is sure. Psalm 91, He who  dwells in the secret place of the most High,  shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  The kingdom is that secret place and the shadow of the Almighty where security is sure and never to fail.

Human security will fail be it technology,  or diabolism. Charm will fail, ammunitions will finish,  the only unending and unfailing security is that of the Kingdom of God.  In His kingdom hunger is not a problem,  because there shall be nothing like that anymore,  no more thirst, no inflation nor economic downturns,  no security breach because God Himself is the Chief security officer, there's no power failure because the lighting system is not that of PHCN, not even the Sun or the moon, but God Himself is the light that shines all day. What more shall we say,  if God be for us who can be against us?  Listen brethren,  your Lord is faithful and true,  whatever He says He will do, so will He do. Do not fear the threats and intimidation of any man and the powers of this world, for He that is with us is greater than He that is in them. 

Do not fear little flocks,  for it's your Father's pleasure to give you the kingdom.  Though your strength may be small,  your God and Father is the Almighty.

 "Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, And spreads them out like a tent to dwell in. He brings the princes to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth useless... Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength..."Isa. 40:21-31.

His Kingdom is full of peace,  righteousness and Joy everlasting.  In His presence there's pleasure for ever and ever, Ps. 16:11. With Him is strength and all power in heaven and on Earth,  Ps. 62:11. Stay still, trust Him and believe that the Lord is God and He is more than able to do exceedingly above all we could ever ask or think. With Him there is no reason to fear, His kingdom is sure. The kingdom is here.

Oh God my Father,  I trust in you and I believe you always have my back. Establish my feet in your precious kingdom. Quench the fiery threats of the devil.
