🦁 Never Fear Man! Be Bold as a Lion

There’s something dangerous about fearing people more than fearing God. That kind of fear will cost you—just ask Saul.

Saul had one job. One clear instruction from the Lord. But instead of obeying God completely, he allowed the opinions and pressure of people to influence his decisions. And because of that, he lost everything.

1 Samuel 15:24 (NIV) says,

“Then Saul said to Samuel, ‘I have sinned. I violated the Lord’s command and your instructions. I was afraid of the men and so I gave in to them.’”

Let that sink in. Saul admitted it: “I was afraid of the men.”

He feared man…

He listened to their voices…

And it cost him the kingdom.

⚠️ The Fear of Man Is a Trap

Proverbs 29:25 tells us:

“Fear of man will prove to be a snare, but whoever trusts in the Lord is kept safe.”

It’s a snare because it keeps you bound to people’s approval instead of God’s purpose. When you live for people’s applause, you become a slave to their opinions. And the moment they disapprove, you crumble.

🔥 But God Is Raising Up Lions

We are in a time where God is calling His people to be bold as lions—fearless, obedient, and full of holy conviction.

Lions don’t apologize for their roar. Neither should you.

You weren’t created to blend in. You weren’t made to shrink back. You were chosen to stand up, speak out, and obey God—even if it means standing alone.

🙌🏾 Obedience Over Opinion

Let Saul’s story be a warning. Partial obedience is still disobedience. And disobedience rooted in fear is rebellion.

God doesn’t need people who play it safe. He needs people who will stand on His Word, even if it costs them the crowd.

🗣️ Stand On Business:

Never fear man. Fear God. Obey Him. Be bold. Be different. Be a lion.

Declaration:

“I will not fear man. I will obey God no matter the cost. I am bold as a lion. I walk in authority, power, and truth.” 🦁🔥
