Confronting Confluences

By Haa Samuel

Events are marks of God’s superiority. Taking responsibility for them makes wise men extraordinary. Our inabilities to read the prints of time have gotten us overwhelmed in unnecessary uncertainty. The prints of time are excellent pathways that portray guidance, goodness, and glory. Our dispensation is at a prime of prophetic culmination, where each achievement or failure leads to permanence. Reaching our peak of performance requires: overcoming fear, absolute display of power and might, integration of passion, and a sound mind.
Fear has reduced several men in pursuit of greatness; leaving them distorted, discouraged, and distracted from their focus. The spirit of fear is the hidden sponsor of delay, decay, and deterioration. Gaining mastery over fear is a mind-blowing breakthrough that any human can ever record. The spirit of fear is anti the spirit of God which sponsors flimsiness and procrastination. It is on the submission of fear that many made a shipwreck of their destiny. After dealing with the issue of fear. We are expected to face the situation confronting us with the display of our inert abilities.
Man is powerful because his Maker is extremely powerful. That we are in existence means we can do beyond our thoughts and operate far above the factors that surround us. Our making is extremely awesome; till death, most men were not fully dispensed. We are the extension of divine force beyond compromise and corruption. Realizing these truths and walking in them; would make us remain victors over confrontational factors. Our fears most times are the very things we permit and our limitations are the limits we place on ourselves. Decision is the ultimate power of every man. Everything that happens within and around us is stimulated by the weight of our choices.
The torments in fear can be adequately treated in love. Aside the knowing that; the spirit of fear wasn’t given to us from the beginning is the assurance that comes through the power of love. Love is one of the undefeatable weapons that work for friends and foes. It brings confidence to friends and commands confusion on foes. The practice of love is the principle of productivity. The things we believe but can’t die for are merely things we like not love. If we love peace, purity, and or purpose, we would go any length to live and defend it; even if it would cost our mortal life. It is the reason why God cannot entrust anything of great worth to a man until the condition of love is satisfied With the prevailing power of a passionate spirit; the soundness of the mind becomes integral in aiding excellence. A double-minded man is unproductive as a stagnant pool; the pattern of his thought and action is inconsistent with the truth of productivity. Such a mind can easily be deflected by unproven ideologies, unwanted suggestions, and uncalled perceptions. It cannot please God. The soundness of our mind is seen from singleness in pursuing a course without deflecting. The productivity of our mind gains establishment when God becomes central. This state indicates the sanity of our soul. Obviously, the lining and synergy of our spirit and soul to the nature of God is pictured as true mental soundness.
The soundness and serenity of our mind is a product of Spiritual governance over our spirit. This governance produces a reflection of transformation valued in the radiance of divine light. With the rules of God over our spirit, our mind becomes excellently productive. The fears and vileness would be taken away, anxieties and adulteration would be completely pinned, and peace would be restored. This is the intention of redemption; it is the provision to salvage man from deception to dominion.
The above are an extract from the strength to derive as you study the whole book. I am trusting God to empower you as you quest for influence through this work.

INTRODUCTION

Events are marks of God’s superiority. Taking responsibility for them makes wise men extraordinary. Our inabilities to read the prints of time have gotten us overwhelmed in unnecessary uncertainty. The prints of time are excellent pathways that portray guidance, goodness, and glory. Our dispensation is at a prime of prophetic culmination, where each achievement or failure leads to permanence.

It is worthy to draw out of God’s word the truth on conquest which is older than this age and would remain eternally. These truths are necessary to enhance our productivity and performance in life’s pursuit.

Over time I understood the potency of scriptures as the solid foundation for stability, security and sanity. Knowing that some conditions and challenges are conquered by utilizing scriptural truths. Out of many scriptural truths, we would consider 2Tim 1:7 to base our investigation on confronting confluences.

For God has not given us the Spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and a sound mind. 2Tim. 1:7

The truth found in this scripture spread its relevance across careers, cultures, convictions, and contents. I likened it to a tree that produces fruit each month. Acknowledging and adopting them would herald solace for today and the journey of destiny. Fear, Power, Love, and Sound mind are the component that relates to all aspects of life; adequate handling of them is a stepping stone to greatness.

As you read through this work, I believe you will find the strength to run the course of destiny without wavering. If you will, with an open heart receive grace from this work; a domineering sense would be stirred in you to diligently utilize these truths as proven armories to confronting all confluences.

Chapter One

HANDLING FEAR

For God has not given us the Spirit of fear;….

Fear has reduced several men in pursuit of greatness; leaving them distorted, discouraged, and distracted from their focus. The spirit of fear is the hidden sponsor of delay, decay, and deterioration. Gaining mastery over fear is a mind-blowing breakthrough that any human can ever record. The spirit of fear is anti the spirit of God which sponsors flimsiness and procrastination. It is on the submission of fear that many made a shipwreck of their destiny. It was not so from the beginning.

And he said, I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. Gen. 3:10

The first appearance of fear in human history was accompanied by a logical justification. ..I was afraid because I was naked… The spirit of fears works with one repeated technology; which hooves around the unveiling of logical reasoning. Such reasoning tends to defy the speaking of faith and the superiority of God’s mercy. Logical reasoning is good if it submits to the Excellencies of God’s supremacy, against which, the corruption in human calculations is hinged. Adam had a bold relationship with God and the hosts of heaven until sin ushered the spirit of fear to the scene. As captured in the above scripture, Adam confessed been overpowered by an alien lord that instructed his behavior.

We must know that there is no period in our pursuit that we are completely immune to the tendencies of swaying off track. This is why we must be constantly on guard against faltering our binding instructions. The justification to sin comes as an enticing pressure but men jostle to sin negating the aftermath. For Adam: the justification to eat the fruit was a manipulation of the instruction of making him like God. God’s image he was already. Similarly, we saw the devil using the same technology on Jesus, as He was demanded to turn a stone to bread in a bid to prove His Son-ship with God; which He is. Those things that mount pressure on us are the things we are already. Realizing that we are already what we are tempted to be, would demean the manipulative advancement of darkness against us.

Fear intends to place limits on
