"But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matthew 6:33 NKJV
Fear unhooks us from faith and the supernatural. It puts us in bondage to the natural realm. Now, at this time, in the UK, we have an overwhelming natural realm to contend with:
(A) For pensioners, it is the Winter Fuel Allowance. (B) Also for pensioners is the worry of the State Pension; is it going to be slashed? Is it going to be means-tested or taxed? (C) With the rising economy, especially gas and electricity rises that are imminent; will people be able to afford to put their heating on? (D) What about those who cannot afford to put the heating on? They may be cold and suffer hypothermia - old and young alike? (E) Because of the added expense, how are some people going to be able to pay their rent, mortgage and other bills, not including their food and household shopping? There are benefits yes, but not everyone qualifies for these and not everyone is on Pension Credit anyway. People are living in fear and just don't know what to do.
Without turning this into a political debate; let's look at a way through this nightmare for many people. Unless the government backs down and stops this route of saving money and putting it into their pot, which at the moment is very doubtful; the only other way is to turn to God. Without people feeling that they are being railroaded into 'religion,' which is understandable, we as Sons and Daughters of the King of kings can help by pointing them to the only one that can solve these major problems. But first of all, many Christian people are also feeling the fear of it all and are wondering what will become of them. I offer you all I can at this time and, His name is Jesus.
We either believe the bible or we don't. If we believe the bible then, we believe in Jesus and know within our hearts that He says: 'I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me' John 14:6. And, "But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." Matt 6:33. These are God's promises and benefits and, remember that God's benefits are never means-tested or taxed. Let's also remember that Paul wrote, 'And my God shall supply all your need, according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus' Philippians 4:19. If you are putting Jesus first, you can rely on Jesus to fulfil His Word.
So if you, as a Person of God, believe that Jesus can never let you down and refuse to live in fear about what is or may happen, then you can be at peace in this fact and can help the people who do not know Jesus or do know Him but are struggling with things in this scary time. Encourage yourself and think of all Jesus did when He walked this earth. He healed many sick people, raised Lazarus and others from the dead, changed peoples lives forever and promises you, eternal life. Do you really think that this worrying time is too much for Him? Never, He is the King of kings, remember?
So stand tall in the armour of God and spread some good news to people who are desperate to hear it.
If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:
Lord Jesus, I have sinned
I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.
In Jesus' Name. Amen'
