Amongst many forces that keeps men in lifetime bondage, fear of death is one of them. Lack of resources may restrict a man for a season, but fear of death can keep a man in bondage for a LIFETIME.
Hebrews 2:14–15 NKJV says
[14] Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, [15] and RELEASE THOSE WHO THROUGH FEAR OF DEATH WERE ALL THEIR LIFETIME SUBJECT TO BONDAGE.
The major limitation and embargo keeping some persons from growing up spiritually and from making a notable impact in life today is the fear of death. They thought “WHAT IF I fast and have ulcer, or WHAT IF I ask God for His will concerning who to marry and He gives me someone I don’t like, or WHAT IF I have faith in God and nothing happens, or WHAT IF I confess the word and my situation remains, or WHAT IF I invest and fail, or WHAT IF I become born again and my friends mock and leave me, or WHAT IF I become born again and loose my followers“, etc. As a result of the fear of dying, they spend their lifetime in struggle, in futility, managing through life unhappy and unfulfilled.
The good news is that Jesus Christ has already overcome the one who has the power of death, that is the Devil so that we can be free from it. So, fear of death don’t have to keep you in bondage or stop you anymore. Therefore, refuse to remain in bondage through fear of death and step out in faith knowing that Christ already overcome for you. Hallelujah!
