Things Believers Should Not Fear – By Iwalola (Lola) Ademodi

🌺Beloved, because of God’s promises to us believers in Christ, there are certain things we must not fear, if we truly walk by faith and believe that our God is faithful to fulfill His promises. Instead of fear, the Word of God encourages believers to trust in God’s power, rely on His love, and present our requests to Him through prayer.
