Chapter Eight- Courage



The Lord Jesus had courage to face death... King David had courage to face the giant... Daniel had courage to kill the lion... Esther had courage to confront the King... Peter had courage to walk on the water... Shadrack, Meshack and Abednigo had courage to face the fire because of what they believed.

Many men and women of God had courage to face the imposer that was against their freedom. Being courageous takes guts, looking straight ahead to conquer what you want. Courage means standing firm to your beliefs no matter what happens or how the wind blows, or how heavy rain is- you stand steadfast. Courage doesn't have second thoughts, you don't allow doubts to overshadow your life.

You just enter in the cage where they are many lions and face the problem. You don't care whether they will eat you alive or not.
Courage brings results in ones life, never doubt or allow anyone to put you down! Look ahead and face your mountains because the courage you have will make you reach the top.

"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."
(Deuteronomy 31:6)

The strenght of the youth comes from within!!!!!

  1. as faith is dead without action , so is when we want something but we don't have courage to go for it. i was worried about possible reaction, what will my boss think etc, if i come to him. but after a friend of mine said if you really want something than you have to go for it before its too late, i imediately set a day and a limit and that i would gpo for it and talk to my boss, believe me friend the favour of God was upon me. that is what courage is in simple terms of my own life. courage makes miracles to happen, we should not be afraid.

  2. Courage is a display of total trust in your God. If you don't have the courage to do what others are afraid of, then you don't trust your God. You doubt, and therefore you should expect nothing from God (His words, not mine)
