God has not given us the spirit of fear but of power –
power to be courageous and do exploits!
Many people Have dreams they have failed to actualize;
they are tormented by fear and vicissitudes of life. They are like the rocking
chair that is in motion but gains no movement; all because they lack what it
takes to possess their possessions. Courage is the most needed tool for
victory.
Courage is the principal requirement for exploits in
life. It must have been what Caleb possessed that enabled him to give a positive
report on the Promised Land (even though the giants were still there), when the
others gave evil report that they were not able to possess the land (Numbers
13:30-33)
God has appointed you for greatness, but it does not come
on the platter of gold; you need to step out with courage and possess it. If
you must be a conqueror you have an inevitable need for courage. Men of courage
are men of conquest.
In Joshua 17:14-16, the children of Joseph said they were
great but they were not ready to venture out and possess the land given to
them. That is how many Christians are today. They make so much noise about
their inheritance of greatness, yet they lack the courage to go out and conquer
the mountain before them.
