Thanks, @okojiebenjamin, for this great piece.

Truly, it's natural for a man at some point in his life to feel fear, but what can be considered as being abnormal is when the feeling of fear has a grip of the being of such fellow. What I mean by fear gripping the being of a man, is that the productivity and creativity of such individual are being seized, while he or she lies in inactivity-- making no progress or being stagnant.

In other words, it's only normal for the feeling of fear to want to come into the mind of a man, but as a believer, it's one's responsibility to counter it (such an anti-productive feeling or thought).

No wonder, the book of 2 Corinthians 10:4-5 says:

"4. The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.

5. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ."
