Sermon by Jentezen Franklin : The Fear of Failure

The spirit of fear can stop you from achieving what you are meant to achieve!

Fear seeks to paralyze your faith!

Be strong and of good courage was mentioned 4 times in this (Joshua 1)part of Scripture

1) The first reason God told Joshua to not fear is for the people's sake : Your God ordained purpose will not only help you but others too! So, fear not for the sake of helping others!

"Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them." Joshua 1:6

2) The second reason God told Joshua to not fear is for his own sake : God wants to give you good success, He doesn't want to just use you He wants to bless you (Jeremiah 29:11)! So, fear not for your own sake!

“Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go."Joshua 1:7

3) The third reason God told Joshua to not fear is for the Lord's sake : God's name is at stake! If you claim He is leading you, don't let your fear come in the way of His glory!! So, fear not for the sake of the Lord!

"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” Joshua 1:9

4) The fourth reason God told Joshua to not fear is for his enemies' sake : Don't be afraid, because of your enemies the Lord will bless you. So, fear not if your enemies are plenty because God will bless you when they curse you!

"Whoever rebels against your word and does not obey it, whatever you may command them, will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous!” Joshua 1:18

Sermon by Jentezen Franklin: Refuse to Pretend

Be a Contender not a Pretender! 1) The time Jacob labored to get Rachel was nothing to him because of how much he loved her. Similarly when you love God all the sacrifices you make are nothing..if you truly love Him that is! "So Jacob served seven years to get Rachel, but they seemed like only a few days to him because of his love for her." Genesis 29:20 Rachel is his first Love..She is representation of Jesus and His Love where as Leah is the substitute ..not the real one. Rachel is the one where as Leah is the second option..not the best! Leah is Religion where as Rachel is Relationship with Christ Leah is Survival where as Rachel is Revival 2) Do not be Pretenders but Contenders "Dear friends, although I was very eager to write to you about the salvation we share, I felt compelled to write and urge you to contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God’s holy people."Jude 1:3 Do not be like people who come t...

When the Music Stops...

Hey Friends, I am trying to honour my commitment to make at least one blog post a month, so here goes July. That being said, please know that I am not posting for the sake of posting. I am trying to cultivate an active listening skill when it comes to each topic I share i.e. I will not post until I am convinced I heard from my heavenly daddy. I hope this is one speaks to you. :) When the Music Stops... This marks the first time I talk about my hubby-to-be on this blog. This man is a Gem! He is a true worshipper, a man after God's heart. He also happens to be an anointed worship leader :) I am not saying that because I love him, I promise. The reason I bring him up though is because one of the very many conversations we have had about music is a good illustration to the point I will make later in this post. He mentioned that it is common practice amongst some parents to hide their kids' musical instruments closer to exam seasons in the hopes of helping them focus...
