"Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word about Christ."

- Romans 10:17

Rev. Canon John Mwangi • August 27, 2025

"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

Introduction

Fear is one of the most common emotions that we face as human beings. In our world today, there are so many things that can cause us to be afraid - uncertainty about the future, challenges in our relationships, financial difficulties, health concerns, and many other issues that can make our hearts tremble with fear.

But God has not called us to live in fear. He has called us to walk in faith, trusting in His perfect love, His unfailing promises, and His constant presence with us.

1. Understanding Fear vs. Faith

Fear and faith cannot coexist in the same heart. When fear comes knocking, faith must answer the door. Fear focuses on the problem, while faith focuses on the Problem Solver. Fear magnifies the enemy, while faith magnifies our God.

Joshua faced one of the greatest challenges of his life - leading the Israelites into the Promised Land. Moses, his mentor and leader, had died. The people were looking to him for direction. The enemies in the land were strong and well-fortified. It would have been easy for Joshua to be overwhelmed by fear.

2. God's Command to Courage

Notice that God didn't suggest that Joshua be strong and courageous - He commanded it. This tells us that courage is not just a feeling; it's a choice. We choose to be strong and courageous even when we don't feel like it.

God's command comes with His promise: "I will never leave you nor forsake you" (Joshua 1:5). When we know that the Almighty God is with us, we can face any challenge with confidence.

3. Practical Steps to Walk in Faith

Meditate on God's Word - Fill your mind with His promises rather than your problems
Remember God's faithfulness - Recall how He has helped you in the past
Pray without ceasing - Stay connected to your source of strength
Surround yourself with faith-filled people - Fellowship with those who will encourage your faith
Take steps of obedience - Even when you can't see the whole staircase, take the first step

Conclusion

Dear brothers and sisters, whatever fears you may be facing today, remember that our God is bigger than any fear. He has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).

Let us choose to walk in faith, not fear. Let us trust in the One who has never failed and never will. Let us move forward with courage, knowing that our God goes before us and is with us every step of the way.

"The Lord your God is with you, the Mighty Warrior who saves. He will take great delight in you; in his love he will no longer rebuke you, but will rejoice over you with singing."

- Zephaniah 3:17
