Living Faith Church Worldwide founder Bishop David Oyedepo recently discussed the efficacy of heavenly instruction in eradicating fear in a YouTube video. In stark contrast to the misery that fear causes, he stressed that following God's lead offers a feeling of fearlessness. He emphasized how individuals who follow God's direction are never afraid because God's presence is constant with them. "Though I walk through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, I fear no evil," he continued, quoting Psalm 23:4. Why? Being in his company. The special bravery that arises from knowing God is something Oyedepo went into further detail about.
Fear, he said, is an agony that people experience, in contrast to this divine assurance. Fear is alleviated and terror is tormented when this God leads, he claims. You will not be afraid if you follow His guidance. Who could possibly oppose us if God is on our side? When we follow God's direction, we may rest easy knowing that He is with us the whole time. I am unafraid of evil even as I pass through the Valley of the Shadow of Death. Why? He was there. Following His guidance puts our concerns to rest since we are aware of His ever-present presence.
The victims of dread endure torment. You gain an extraordinary level of bravery when you submit to His will. None of these things—wealth, status, or titles—can buy these qualities. Compared to the impoverished, the wealthy are more afraid. Some time ago, in the United States, someone allegedly took his own life after seeing a decline in the value of his assets. "No way; I ought to perish now." Aversion to the unfamiliar. You have no fear when God is leading you.
