THE FEAR OF THE LORD

Speaking of the literal meaning of fear and the most widely use of the word "fear", it means a phobia, a strong uncontrollable unpleasant emotion caused by actual or perceived danger of threat.

Here, I am not talking about this above meaning of fear. The fear of the Lord means terrified reverence to the Lord, that is treating the Ancient one with respect, trembling as a result of his wonderful works that is evident in humanity. Take a deep thought about yourself, do you know how you got to the stage you are presently, talking about growth in all areas of ones life is enough evidence or reason to instill the fear of the Lord in us because His works are mysterious.

The bible had it in the book of psalm 114 reading through vv 3, it says "Jordan saw it and fled" . What did Jordan see? it saw the presence of the Lord in action which instilled fear even on an inanimate thing much more we humans. The fear of the Lord brings trembling in His sight, it makes us have wisdom in going about our daily activities in life (Psalm 111:10).

Furthermore, we were made to understand that those who fear the lord, the reverence they have for the Father bestows the pity of Abba on them (Psalms 103:13). Why not take the bold step of reverencing God in all your endeavor and wait patiently for the glorious outcome.

In conclusion, the Spirit of the Lord further bestows His fear on humans (Isaiah 10:2) and when the fear of the Lord is in action , it brings to null all works of flesh in us and replacing it with the reverence for God. Daniel feared the Lord, Joseph feared the Lord, the three Hebrews feared the Lord. Do not be left out!

PRAYER POINT : Father, the ability to always reverence you with all my doings, grant me. Amen .

FUEL IT UP!!!

When I was in primary school I was part of the girls guide. we usually go for weekend camping in any agreed location and I remember that whenever we were at camp, we always have the camp fire at night and everyone will be dancing around it. Whenever the fire goes down, we will put leaves and some other petrochemical substances to enable it burn well. Going through the books of Mathew 25, the story of the 10 virgins ignited a spark in me and I realized instantly that to keep anything burning, we need substances to fuel it up just as we did at the camp whenever the camp fire goes down. Also, most of us have generators in our various homes and I can imagine how much we would feel helpless when we cannot get fuel to power our generators especially when we have a very interesting show coming up or a football match and the electricity distribution company decided to keep the light off. Brethren, reading through Mathew 25: 1-13, we would have a better understanding of what it means to fu...

God's Laws Versus God's Promise

A father who lives in the diaspora once had a son and for some reasons his son cannot come along with him. Nevertheless, he kept on investing and was lucrative in his business. This man got a guardian to keep his son in track while he was away and he wrote his will so that when he is away permanently his possession could be given to his child by the guardian on reaching a specified age written in his will. He did this so that the child could be rightly led and could have come of age not to mismanage the properties. Going through the books of Galatians, I had a deeper understanding of God's laws and God's promises. Firstly, we have sins, laws and promises. Literally, Sin is anything detestable to God, God's laws are the guidance from God given alongside the promise to reveal to people their sins (Gal 3:19). God's law was given until the fulfilment of the promise. God's promise is simply grace in the human form of Christ Jesus. Going back to my introductory story, the...

UNDER THE SUN!

A whole lot goes down under the sun,when I say under the sun i am referring to the whole earth as a whole. Imagine a child is born into the world, coming out of the mother's womb empty and naked, after the child's birth he is weaned and goes through several stages before he finally starts his education, from primary to secondary and to higher institution he could even go to the length of taking professional exams and pursuing his career to the peak. After this his parents tells him to bring home a wife, he gets married start having kids and making his kids follow the same process as he has been brought up,when he grows old he dies and maybe wills his property to his children and he without no doubt knows what happens again after his demise as he will be buried empty not even with the certificates and qualifications he has attained. What a life! This above example is typical of a successful human, several generation comes and goes. we all have fore fath...
