I once had a phorbia for hights , anything 1meter above the ground just count me out..I won't even dare like seriously it was that bad ..
Then I heard the word of God that said God has not given unto us the spirit of fear ,but of power, love and a sound mind ..I knew I wasn't supposed to have such fear in me but I thought I couldn't help it ..
It is not okay to have "phorbia' especially if you are born again ,I know some folks who try to make it seam cool but it is not ..Cause it is not of God..
God doesn't want us to be in bondage of any kind especially being a slave to fear!!!
What ever it is ,nothing should make you afraid!!!
Early this year I had to visit my elder sister who lives in Lagos, Nigeria . I knew she lived in a tall building,but I didn't know how high it was ,till I got to her house..If you live in Lagos and you ever been to Festac town, you will know that almost all the residential building are story buildings and my sister and her hubby live on the top floor..It was very high...
Now I got my sister house 9pm because of all the traffic on the road ( Lagos shaaaa)...The tricycle driver droped me right in front of her house,there I was ,staring at the building wondering which of the apartments was my sister's,only to see a hand waving at me from the fourth floor 😲,boy I wanted to melt...I was just wondering how in God's name was I going to get up there with my luggage ,what if I fall, at this point my body was shaking..My sister came down to meet me and help me with my bags.If you know how the building in festac is and your not use to it ,you will actually think or feel your going to fall..
I held closely to the stair case,my sister kept saying " faith, don't fall my hand o,peo people are looking at you"
But I didn't care ,I just wanted to get to her apartment without looking down or falling down...Cold breeze blew and I felt it with each step I took..My sisters apartment was the last on the top floor by the left and each apartment was partitioned by a gate ,so I would have to pass through her neighbours gate befor getting to hers..My sister walked through without any fear,she was use to it,but I had to make sure ,I didn't look down as I walked through..
Finally we go to her apartment..
My sister had already given me the gist of how my mum never went downstairs all through her stay except it was important and how she was a bit scared .I didn't want that for myself,I wanted to not be scared of height ,I wanted to deal with it once and for all.I mean I saw little kids go up and down the stairs without any fear and I wanted that also .And yes I was able to over that fear ,and hear is how I did that
*I changed my confessions: I stoped saying I had forbia for height..
*Almost every day I went up and down the stairs..And while I did that I would say to my self,"I m not afraid of heights"
Days turned to weeks which turned to 2month, and the fears I felt disappeared..
I was now running up and down the stairs like every one els..
You can choose to hold on to that fear of the unknown that you have ,or you can choose to deal with it and overcome it by using the Word!!
God doesn't want us to be afraid of anything, remember he made all things and gave us dominion over all....
So get rid of that phorbia today 💃💃💃
Love VOG
