In a recent video on YouTube, Bishop David Oyedepo, founder of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, recently spoke on the power of divine guidance in eliminating fear. He emphasized that following God's lead brings a sense of fearlessness, contrasting sharply with the torment that fear brings.
He highlighted the comforting presence of God as a constant for those who follow His guidance, making them impervious to fear. Citing Psalm 23:4, he added, “Though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I fear no evil. Why? His presence.”
Oyedepo elaborated on the unique fearlessness that comes from being aware of God’s presence. He contrasted this divine assurance with the torment that fear inflicts on individuals.
According to him, "When this God leads, fears are allayed and fear torments. When you follow His leading you are fear free. If God be for us, who can be against us? When God leads fears are allayed because His presence will always go with the led. Though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I fear no evil. Why? His presence."
"The consciousness of His ever abiding presence which we secure by following His leading allays all fears. Fear has torment, fear torments its victims. When you follow His leading you are supernaturally fearless. These are virtues that money, position, titles can’t access. The rich are more fearful than the poor. Someone was said to commit suicide some time ago in the U.S because his stocks went down. “No, I better die.” Fear of the unknown. When God leads, you are fearless."
