God sends faintness in the hearts of the wicked , and the sound of a shaken leaf frightens them. They are under God&#8217;s displeasure and because they are pricked by intensive guilt consciousness, they become fearful. Guilt is the parent of fear.<\/p>\n<p>The lion is rightly referred to as the king of the jungle. It posses courage and confidence and with a roar it can be heard miles away . The righteous ones are those who trusts in God .They are the ones against who the Lord does not impute iniquity and whose sins are forgiven.    God&#8217;s goodness and mercies are always following them. God goes ahead of them and behind them; they are as bold as a lion!<\/p>\n<p>Being bold means we can do exploits for the kingdom.  When we are bold, we will experience greater faith, live in more anointing and power , preach the gospel and change the world. When we are bold, we will be in a position to put ourselves in situations  that most people normally wouldn&#8217;t. In essence, boldness is simply moving from inaction to action ( LinkedIn)<\/p>\n<p>Further readings:<br \/>\nGen 3:9-13<br \/>\nPsa 27:1<br \/>\nActs 4:31<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\ude4f Blessed Week \ud83d\ude4f<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pro 28:1 The wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion.
