WHEN LOVE PREVAILS, FEAR STOPS EXISTING (Monday, 7th September 2026)
Text for Today: 1 Kings 4:7-19 “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.” (vs. 18).
Love answers all things and those who have it will not be stranded in life. God is love and those who follow God must also be filled with love. If we want to get rid of fear, we must replace it with something. If we keep our minds empty, fear can easily return. As we continue with our discussion on covenant keys to overcoming fear, the fourth key is, BE FILLED WITH LOVE. Now, here’s one of the most important keys to getting rid of fear: We must be filled with love. We can cast out fear with love. But how? Love is an affection and emotion that does NOT produce any fear. In fact, if we truly love God, we should not fear anything! We don’t need to fear death because after death, if we are secure with God, we can be confident that we will meet our Creator during our next waking moment.
Apostle Paul was filled with love for lost souls, and that was why he was not afraid to preach the gospel, even when it became dangerous for him to do so. And that was why he said in Rom. 8:18 that, “For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.” When you are filled with love, you keep on driving towards your goals in life not minding any opposition. As long as we have love in our hearts and lives, we can expect fear to never bother us. The moment our love wavers, that’s the same moment that fear starts to creep in again. When love prevails, fear stops existing. When love overcomes, fear is suppressed. And when love reigns, fear is banished.
You are a Champion!
Further Study: Rom. 8:18-39.
