Anxiety does not give you the size of your future. It gives you the size of your fears...There are people you were far better than but today, they are far better than you. Do you know why?. They never had the time you had in worrying about too many things.
Winners don't rest on the foot of the mountain to count its height. They only count from its top when they are already there
Thats when they make their own fears if they have one really. Most mistakes people make don't come from necessities. They come from unnecessary fear. image Image Nobody thought of using the stone on Goliath for 40 days. Rather, they thought of his size and records. We know how to think on the records of something. A woman can tell you, 'If I don't get married before I'm 40, menopause will catch up with me' and a man can say "if I don't get a well paid job, no woman will ever accept my hand in marriage".
She would tell you thousands of women who married late and things that happened to them and he will tell you how many men were turned down by ladies because they have no means of livelihood. A woman with cancer came to a hospital with a child of five years old and the little girl was sitting with the woman when she asked the doctor, 'How much time do I have to live? The little girl shouted at her, 'Mum, its God you should ask and not the doctor'.
That was the first time she ever thought of focusing on God. The woman said that she got home and repented of ignoring God. And that was how what doctors called terminal sickness left her life. When you worry so much, its easier to put the weight of your future on the shoulder of people who don't have shoulder to carry the weight of their own pains. We should learn not only to trust God but also to trust our life that its not a failed project.
Most people don't believe that God can do something for them. They strongly believe that men would do it better. Most women talk to men for their needs than they talk to God. And if those men don't respond, their entire faith is crippled. This happens because someone is avoiding to stand on her own and forge her change. Anxiety is the reason why you can easily abandon yourself and live someone else life. And you will still fail. If the Shunemite woman had demonstrated anxiety when her son died, Elisha would not have met the little boy's grave. The woman was never for once an anxious woman. She was confident of her future.
She never asked Elisha even to intercede for her barreness. Elisha stayed long in her home to perceive that she has a need and Gehazi must have toured the home to know that a child was never there but the woman lived unconcerned. She trusted God that a child will come and she had one.
Most times, we only know what we want from God but not what God wants from us. God said, 'Fear not and you shall see what I will perform'. God wants something from you. He wants you to kill your fears before He could come in. It was in the plan of God that the Israelites travel through the Red sea but faith has to make it work or they stay there forever until the stubborn pursuers got to them.
I know that if every person in the world would rise up and demonstrate courage, the devil will agree that he doesn't need Angels to bound him and throw him into the bottomless pit. The people of Faith and purpose will do it. The courage of an individual gives birth to his or her destiny.
Even though Mordecai had a record to stand before the king, he still understood that even God needed a woman with courage to do it. And God raised Esther even though she was a naive virgin, God still used her. Your fears will build for you small or a failed future.

Most women fearing what their landlord will do at the end of the month have ran to men who slept with them and left them with death sentenced sicknesses. Why not be bothered about what God will do at the end of the month thanbwhat the landlord will do? And most men fearing being called "Foolish" because they can't provide for their families have soiled their hands just to prove their Manhood. Fear always give us the wrong judgment about tomorrow. There is nothing comfortable about fear. Instead of using the stone on Goliath, fear kept a king and his army in hiding for a month and ten days with no one daring the battle line. The same happens to us today. When you are anxious of life, it stops you from daring your future with just something that never made a meaning.
That is why most people who started a small business with courage have grown to have staff today and yet, most other people doubt their stories. You can never change a life you gave fear the opportunity to torture. You can only change a life you give faith the opportunity to mentor. Any business you have faith with God makes a history. God has always been saying, 'Be anxious for nothing'. I advice you take His word seriously. Thats saves the future.
