This is truly the most comprehensive documentation of scriptures demonstrating the power of the Word of God to nullify the destructive and corrosive effects of fear on our lives. This book is a ‘must read’ for anyone struggling with issues of fear, failing courage, and lack of confi dence.

It will help us to take our true positions as victors through the Word of God.

The books takes us systematically through the Old and New Testaments and illustrates every situation in which God’s Word has been activated against the evil forces of fear.

It touches on fear in every aspect of our lives. It provides us with the principles behind the scripture and shows how the Word could be applied to free us from the stranglehold of fear in those situations.

—Dr. Gloria Fiati Christian Counselor and Psychologist Toronto, Ontario, CANADA

A splendid and positive handling of the topic of fear.

Someone has said that what we must fear is fear. Why? Fear negates the promises of God and puts us in doubt of God’s presence. When this happens, we are in opposition to God and cannot expect anything from Him! Pastor Komolafe does not only present Biblical perspective but provides the reader with what to do with the inspiration provided by Scriptures as he guides the reader in what to pray for when confronted with any type of fear.

I THANK GOD ALMIGHTY for His power and love, through my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, who gave me victory over timidity, cowardice, and fear.

Thank God for my godly parents (father and mother), who taught me to reverence God’s Word and encouraged me in growing in the fear of God Almighty. I am grateful to God for blessing me with a loving wife, Mercy, and blessed children, Esther, Grace, and Shalom, through whom we have received grace to conquer our fears.

I am exceedingly glad for every member of Above All Christian Gathering, with whom together we confronted and overcame the fear of men.

How to Use This Book

V ICTORY OVER FEAR is an ongoing, daily encounter.

Fear may make you feel incapable, weak, unworthy, powerless, and defenseless, but your desire is not just for mere survival in the heat of the battle against fear, but rather for persistent victory. Hence, the need for daily declaration of victory through the Word of God establishes and confi rms you as more than a conqueror.

Victory Nuggets:

1. I strongly encourage you to boldly declare the written Word of God, learn the principle, and pray the prayers.

2. You can start on your victory journey of “fear not” at any time of the year. Do not wait till the beginning of each year.

3. Your day one begins the very day you start and follow through to the end.

4. Each day’s declaration may not be a one-time reading, but as many times as possible or as time permits.

5. Watch for your victory progress against fear.

6. Remember that the Word of God you confess “is alive and full of power—making it active, operative, energizing, and effective, it is sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating to the dividing line of the breath of life (soul) and the (immortal) Spirit, and

of joints and marrow (that is, of the deepest parts of our natures), exposing and sifting and analyzing and judging the very thoughts and purposes of the heart” (Heb. 4:12 AMPLIFIED BIBLE).

Therefore, believe God for victories as you trust and cling to God’s never- failing Word.

1 Introduction

“W E HAVE HEARD reports about the enemy, and we are weak with fright. Fear and pain have gripped us, like that of a woman about to give birth. Don’t go out to the fi elds! Don’t travel the roads! The enemy is everywhere, and they are ready to kill. We are terrorized at every turn!” (Jer. 6:24-25 NLT) These verses of the Holy Scripture seem to be the heart cry of so many people today. Events around the nations of the world and danger everywhere have paralyzed us with fear. Terror has a death grip on our throats.

My long years of counseling, prayers, and deliverance, make me see how so many people are troubled by fear.

Some may admit that they are terrifi ed and dreadful, while others feel courageous enough to confront life issues. But courage is not the absence of fear. Fear is a snare—it’s distracting and destructive. It could lure you away from your real purpose.

Ask yourself, do I experience sudden fear and panic?

Do I go about life feeling insecure or uncertain? Do I feel an oppressive presence around me? It is also important to know that fear can manifest itself in diverse ways, but whichever way, be assured that you can always overcome and prevail over your fears.

Many people are fearful of death, sicknesses, diseases, evil, wickedness, and danger. Some even dread the future.

Imaginative fear and fear of the unknown are twin killers of our time. Fear of man can also be a snare, not just a

weakness or a character fault. This can cause you to dwell on things that are not true and live in perpetual ignorance.

In your struggle with fear, rest assured that God’s eternal Word is the only antidote to overcome your fears.

Fear Not

“Fear has caused proud men to beg; strong men to cry; loving men to hate; and peaceful men to be fi lled with fury. Like a slave master, fear is controlling.” —Wayne & Joshua Mack (The Fear Factor)
