HALLELUIAH! HALLELUIAH!! HALLELUIAH!!!

Marty Adebowale has been called a Freelance Preacher and an Evangelist. He refers to himself simply as a guy who loves Jesus and has an incredible love to share Him with the world. He is a white-collar worker who loves people, a people helper, loves projects and sharing the GOSPEL. He feels called to lead the lost to the church and the church to the lost. God reached down and pulled him from his sin and he is forever grateful. He lives day to day only for God’s mercy and grace. It was placed on his heart to share with all that this is the season that we must let go of our FEARS. Why? FEAR TOLERATED IS FAITH TERMINATED. Fear is a weapon that Satan uses to separate us from our God. It is a really interesting area and a barrier that often holds us back from getting and becoming what we really want. He thinks there is much to be learned from this book. And he hopes that this book will bring a daily smile into your life, knowing that God loves you. May this book inspire a change in your thinking and start moving mountains.

People living deeply have no fear of death. When a resolute young fellow steps up to the great bully, the world, and takes him boldly by the beard, he is often surprised to find it comes off in his hand, and that it was only tied on to scare away the timid adventurers. Fear is the main source of superstition, and one of the main sources of cruelty. To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom. Fears are educated into us, and can, if we wish, be educated out. Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will. Say it I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. Meditate on His Words!

Fear: False Evidence Appearing Real." I am not afraid of tomorrow, for I have seen yesterday and I love today. Who sees all beings in his own self, and his own self in all beings, loses all fear. Where no hope is left, is left no fear. Fear is only as deep as the mind allows. When I hear music, I fear no danger. I am invulnerable. I see no foe. I am related to the earliest times, and to the latest. You gain strength, courage, and confidence by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing which you think you cannot do. The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown. Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy. Try a thing you haven’t done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time to figure out whether you like it or not. The enemy is fear. We think it is hate; but, it is fear. Never be afraid to try something new. Remember, amateurs built the ark, professionals built the Titanic.

Read scriptures that can guide and encourage you on topics relating to fear, such as fear and anxiety, fear of love, fear of the unknown and fear of death. Read verses from the Holy Bible about fear in relation to God, Jesus Christ, and the Christian faith.

Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold. You can discover what your enemy fears most by observing the means he uses to frighten you. If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.

Psalm 118:6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?

Deuteronomy 31:6 Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.

1Chronicles 28:20 David also said to Solomon his son, "Be strong and courageous, and do the work. Do not be afraid or discouraged, for the LORD God, my God is with you. He will not fail you or forsake you until all the work for the service of the temple of the LORD is finished.

Psalm 23:4 Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

Psalm 27:1 The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— of whom shall I be afraid?

2 Timothy 1:7 For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, of love and of self-discipline.

Psalm 56:3-4 When I am afraid, I will trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; I will not be afraid. What can mortal man do to me?

Isaiah 41:10 So, do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.

DAY 1: THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Great leaders teach. It is part of what they do. Through teaching, they grow, develop and cultivate their staff. Through teaching, they take people to place they can’t or won’t go themselves. Through teaching, they make success a reality.

Definition of Yoke: In a literal sense, the word ‘Yoke’ means a bar of wood, so constructed as to unite two animals (usually oxen), enabling them to work in the fields, drawing loads, pulling instruments used for farming. In Bible, it is figuratively used as a symbol of Slavery (1 Tim 6:1) Servant hood (Lev 26:13: I broke the bars of your yoke and enabled you to walk with heads held high."

Also Jer 27:8-12 Submission, Forced Subjection Burden, Load Oppression (Is 9:4) Bondage to sin. Lam 1:14: My sins have been bound into a yoke, by his hands, they were woven together … The Plowman (farmer) binds the yoke upon the neck of the oxen, so that it would not fall off or be shaken off.

Yoke bound around the neck of man would cause his strength to diminish; one may waver and fall under the load of yoke. We may be under the yoke of sin, oppression, guilt, failures, anxieties (1 Pet 5:7), or worries. Jesus has set us free from the yoke, we just need to come to him and cast our heavy burden on him. And he will give the rest for our souls. My brothers and sisters, this is your call to action this year. Will you cast your YOKE upon Him? TGBTG

DAY 2: THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Only the man who follows the command of Jesus single-mindedly and unresistingly lets his yoke rest upon him, finds his burden easy, and under its gentle pressure receives the power to persevere in the right way. The command of Jesus is hard, unutterably hard, for those who try to resist it. But for those who willingly submit, the yoke is easy, and the burden is light.

Question: What does it mean when Jesus says ‘my yoke is easy and my burden is light’ (Matthew 11:30?

Answer: The phrase my yoke is easy and my burden is light is part of a larger passage (Matthew 11:28-30, in which Jesus tells all who are weary and burdened to come to Him for rest. He isn’t speaking here of physical burdens. Rather, it was the heavy burden of the system of works that the Pharisees laid on the backs of the people that Jesus was offering to relieve. Later on in Matthew’s gospel, Jesus will rebuke the Pharisees for laying heavy burdens on the shoulders of the people (Matthew 23:4)

The yoke of the Pharisees is the burdensome yoke of self-righteousness and legalistic law-keeping. It has been said by biblical scholars that the Pharisees had added over 600 regulations regarding what qualified as ‘working’ on the Sabbath. That is a heavy burden! Recall the story of the lawyer who asked Jesus what was the greatest commandment of the Law (Matthew 22) You can almost read between the lines of the man’s question – What law, of all the laws we have, do I absolutely have to keep? Jesus was saying that any kind of law-keeping is burdensome and amounts to a heavy yoke of oppression because no amount of law-keeping can bridge the gap between our sinfulness and God’s holiness. Repent! TGBTG!

DAY 3: THOUGHT FOR TODAY

No man can reveal to you aught but that which already lies half asleep in the dawning of your knowledge.

The teacher who walks in the shadow of the temple, among his followers, gives not of his wisdom but rather of his faith and his lovingness.

If he is indeed wise he does not bid you enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind. James 1:5 tells us, If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. In learning you
