MONTH TO FEAR GOD MORE

Fear God by your way of living life.
Living life by the fear of God is taking a position to provoke the mercy of God over your life.
To fear God is rooted in giving attention to the word of God by inclining the ear to be keeping the word of God in the heart, not just in the head.
Ecclesiastes 12:13 points out the need for all to be living life by the fear of God, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all.”
Are you one that keeps the word of God in the head with no space for the word of God in the heart?
Give your heart to the fear of God. 
In life, let the fear of God become your character, your identity before God. 
The fear of God is the identity of Job before God as God testifies, “there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still, he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause.” (Job 2:3)
One that fears God in the heart is with the character that pleases God.
Have a heart of fear for God to shun the evil not to have a place in you.
It is the will of God for all to fear God and know to train children to fear God.
Know and understand to fear God in every way of life, the conclusion of the whole matter.
The word of God that speaks to one speaks to all to fear God for the ways of living life as Job 28:28 records, “…And to man, He said, ‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, and to depart from evil is understanding…” Jeremiah 10:7 records, “Who would not fear You, O King of the nations? For this is Your rightful due. For among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like You. “
Who will not fear God? 
For you, know it from this day that it is the rightful due that God is feared.
A worth God that is exceedingly merciful!
One that does not fear God will not abide and dwell in the presence of God.
The Bible records what will become of those who fear God:
Psalm 33:18 records, “Behold, the eye of the Lord is on those who fear Him, On those who hope in His mercy.” 
Psalm 34:7-9, “The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him and delivers them. Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the man who trusts in Him! Oh, fear the LORD, you His saints! There is no want to those who fear Him.” 
Luke 1:50, “And His mercy is on those who fear Him From generation to generation.” 
Let the fear of God keep you under the eyes of God.
What will prompt you to fear God? 
Determination will not enable one to fear God but, desire and prayer will have fear for God.
For example, Peter determined not to deny Jesus when he failed, but the prayer of Jesus upholds him. Luke 22:32 records, “…But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail…” 
Is your lack of understanding that denies you to fear God? 
With understanding, know to serve God with fear. Psalm 2:11 admonishes, “Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.” 
Living life by claiming the promises of God demands to fear God.
Why not allow the fear of God to become your priority? 
In your journey of life, let the fear of God become your compass to arrive at the calling of God.
Pray that the fear of God becomes established in your hearts not to depart from God.
Ask from God that you want to live life in His fear.
Today, get to understand and know in the promise of God that when you fear God, you will fear none but God, to claim the promises of God.
The book of Isiah 41:10 speaks it to all, “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.”
Fear God alone is the will of God for all.

THE STRETCH-OUT HAND OF GOD

Prayerfully be meditating with a declaration that the STRETCH-OUT HAND OF GOD that delivers and preserves is your portion.
With the breath of life, God alone has brought you this far. 

To be alive this far in this world of wickedness is not by right but the privilege of God.
Turn to God to give a heart full of thanks, not just a mouthful of thanks.
Are you questioning God consciously or unconsciously?
Are you complaining before God about where you are and how long you have to remain where you are?
In your journey of life, it is not about how long it is taking you to receive from God the manifestation of your expectation but give thanks to God for how far He has brought you in the journey of life.
Know that everybody gets from God, but no one gets everything. Ask God to give you what you can handle and still keep Him in your mind giving Him continual appreciation, thanking and praising Him, and not complain.
Without a doubt, the hand of God has brought you this far in your journey of life. Acknowledge God for His hand that is not short in keeping you.
Isaiah 59:1 record: “Behold, the Lord’s hand is not shortened, That it cannot save; Nor His ear heavy, That it cannot hear.”
The hand of God is what to trust and hope for over your life.
The Bible records the hand of God:
Joshua 4:24 records, “that all the peoples of the earth may know the hand of the Lord, that it is mighty, that you may fear the Lord your God forever.” 
The book of Ezra repeatedly testifies the hand of God seeing them through the journey of life. Ezra 8:31 states, “…And the hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and from ambush along the road.” In your journey of life, this month and years to come, desire for the hand of God. In the hand of God, there is an answer for deliverance and preservation.
Prayerfully, continually, know to ask for the hand of God.
The word of God encourages all to give themselves continually to prayer and the ministering of the word. Why not pray the word of God that does not return to Him void?
Ask, reminding God to extend His hand to you, as He was extending in the Bible. God is not a partial God to deny your prayer but will answer yes, no, or wait.
God is not talkative, and the only thing God cannot do is that God cannot fail. Matthew 7:7 speaks to all, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” 
Ask that your current or the new month will answer for you as your month of the stretch-out hand of God, striking every representative of Pharaoh in your life. 
The hand of God did not fail when it brought the children of Israel out of the bondage of over four hundred years. God is not a partial God, and He will not fail to answer your calling for His stretch hand.
In these coming days, weeks, and years, whatever it is that holds one down not to gain motion, experiencing stagnation, the stretch-out hand of God that you call for will not deny you in the name of Jesus. 
Exodus 3: 19-20 records the word of God for the deliverance of Israel, 
” But I am sure that the king of Egypt will not let you go, no, not even by a mighty hand. So I will stretch out My hand and strike Egypt with all My wonders…”  There is no mighty hand that will militate against you when the stretch-out hand of God answers for you. Ask that God shall look upon you and your family to acknowledge all your endeavor in the name of Jesus.
In your new month, prayerfully meditate for the stretch-out hand of God for deliverance and preservation.
Is it your desire to experience the stretch-out hand of God over your life?
What one does not seek before God (that is good) is what one will not see to receive and become for such.
What one fails to claim will not be passed to one.
It is assurance in the word of God that what one does not think or ask will not be active in such.
God is not a careless giver, and it is what you desire before God is what God deposits in you.
Meditate on the word of God, and call the month as your month of the stretch-out hand of God. 

EASTER CELEBRATION IS CONTINUAL

Celebrating Jesus at all times is worth it. 
Celebrating Jesus demands understand not to be celebrating religiously or in waste.
In all the ways of life, when understanding is in place, knowledge will deliver for the celebrant of Jesus to have an edge as a winner in this wicked world.
Are you celebrating Jesus with understanding or celebrating Jesus in the bondage of a religion that does not count before God? 
Jesus is the unconditional love of God for all, and that is the reason to celebrate Jesus with no condition but love.
Consider your celebration of Jesus:
At every time of celebration, joy is the expression that becomes glaring. 
Celebrating Jesus cannot be hidden.
Celebrating Jesus should be constant and continuous.
Celebrating Jesus should not be limited to a particular time or season of life.
Easter celebration without knowledge and understanding is mere religion and not a continual celebration of the reality of Christ, His sacrifice for all.
Easter celebration of Jesus is every day knowing that Jesus has risen!
Living the testimony that Jesus has risen is keeping the testimony of God.
Psalm 119:2 admonishes all to keep the testimonies of God, “Blessed are those who keep His testimonies, who seek Him with the whole heart!”
With knowledge and understanding, Keep the testimonies that Jesus has risen!
Mark 9:31 records the teaching of Jesus, “For He taught His disciples and said to them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And after He is killed, He will rise the third
day.”  
Jesus experienced mockery. He was scourged and was spit on, killed but raised on the third day. (Mark 10:14) The experience of Jesus is the reason for the Easter celebration.
Easter celebration should be continual as the way of life. With understanding, it should be the testimony of living life for the glory of God, the evidence of acknowledging the goodness of God that is in place for all to accept Jesus not to become a victim of sin.
Are you an acclaimed believer or an unbelieving believer that does not live the testimony of the Easter celebration?
The identities of not living a life of the Easter celebration non-stop are: mocking the name of Jesus and denying Him to betray Him.
Are you betraying Jesus by denying Him? 
Peter blatantly denied Jesus three times to avoid suffering with Him. Acclaimed believers identify with Jesus, but none wants to suffer with Him or suffer just like He did. 
Are you making noise as a believer but yet living as a deceiver? Let deception not be your way of life because God sees it all! 
With humiliation, Jesus carried the cross, went to the grave, and arise from the grave on the third day so that all will cross over with Him not to fall and fail to miss heaven. 
The account of His humiliation is not to provoke emotional sobering but invoke engaging the reality of Christ. 
How are you observing the humility of Christ Jesus?
Without humility, there is no way one can become obedient to the Word of God. Today, gain the understanding that “…He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.” (2 Corinthians 5:14-15)
Live life in obedience to God!
Know to believe the Living Word of God.
As an acclaimed believer in the Living Word of God, have you been reducing or increasing in keeping your distance to the living Word of God? Keeping your distance away from the Living Word of God will keep you away from standing in Him. Inability to stand in the Word will cause you to deny and betray Him. 
A believer should get it clear that the Easter celebration is a moment of celebrating the One that came and is here to elevate all. In Him, there was no fault, but He was arrested and bounded, all forsook Him and fled.
Easter is the continual celebration for the goodness of God over the life of all.
One that takes to the testimony that Jesus is alive, the reason for the Easter celebration is set not to miss heaven.
Rejoice Jesus has risen!  

KNOW TO ASK FOR THE PEACE OF GOD

Are you claiming trust in God but not with hope?
Claiming trust in God without having hope in God is not enough to claim the blessing of God. Jeremiah 17:7 confirms, “Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” 
One that trusts and has hope in the Lord God is the one who trusts with hope in God, and his mind stays on God.
The promise of God to bless is undeniable for one that does according to the word of God. 
Do you trust, hope with the mind that stays on God?
A promise of God for trusting and having hope, with the mind that stays on God will gain the peace of God. Isaiah 26:3 confirms, “You will keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on You Because he trusts in You.”
The character of having trust, having hope with the mind stays on God is one with zealous for God.
Phinehas was with zeal for God. It happened that while the Israelites were in Acacia Grove in their journey to the Promised Land, they committed harlotry with the women of Moab. It was a sin that arouses the anger of God against the Israelites. Numbers 25:6-9 records, “And indeed, one of the children of Israel came and presented to his brethren a Midianite woman in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. 7 Now when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose from among the congregation and took a javelin in his hand; 8 and he went after the man of Israel into the tent and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stopped among the children of Israel. 9 And those who died in the plague were twenty-four thousand.”
Phinehas had zealous for God by his demonstration of a faithful act not to compromise with the sin of his brethren in the presence of God.
God responded to the zealous of Phinehas in Numbers 25:12-13, “…Behold, I give to him My covenant of peace, and it shall be to him and his descendants after him a covenant of an everlasting priesthood, because he was zealous for his God…’”  God is the benevolent rewarder of those with Zeal for Him. 
Are you zealous for God or zealous for the world and its activities?
It is not possible to have the zeal of God and miss the peace of God.
Also, in the absence of the peace of God, there will be anxiety in making a decision.
Anxiousness will deny or delay acting out for the glory of God.
Word of God encourages against anxiousness to enable the peace of God that surpasses all understanding. Philippians 4:6-7 admonishes all, “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; 7 and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Phineas, son of Eleazer, is an example in the pages of the Bible that received the blessing of peace of God after acting out against the sin of his brethren before God.
If you are zealous for God, the peace of God will occupy you.
Are you one with trust, hope, the mind, and zeal for God?
Today, know let Jesus occupy you. Revelation 3:20 records the word of Jesus, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me.” 
Prayerfully, ask for the zeal of God to become your way of life.
Pray by: 
Ask God for His voice to sound in your direction, that you hear and to do, to His glory.
Ask that the word of God occupy you, to establish in you that His peace takes over the life He has given you. 
Ask that the boldness and character like that of Phinehas become in your life. 

PRAY FOR UNDERSTANDING

Jesus is the wisdom of God for all. (1 Corinthians 1:30)
Do you know Jesus? 
Jesus is the wisdom of God that is in place for all.
It is not possible to know the wisdom of God and not be having an edge in the journey of life.
Many claim to know the wisdom of God but lack the understanding to have a knowing edge.
Proverbs 4:7 buttresses, “wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore, get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.”
In this challenging, unstable world of wickedness, a believing believer living by the word of God should have an understanding that is rooted in wisdom and knowledge, having an edge and stability.
In all your getting, give yourself the wisdom, ability to gain understanding.
Gaining an understanding of God is not by determination but by prayer.
What to ask for in understanding?
Know to ask for understanding heart to discern.
An understanding heart is what all need to be able to discern between good and evil. When King Solomon went to Gibeon to sacrifice, God appeared to him in a dream to ask him what to do for him.
King Solomon asked God, “Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?” (1 Kings 3:9) 
The request of Solomon pleased the Lord.
PRAYER
Ask for understanding heart to discern just like King Solomon did.
(Understanding heart to discern will be able to see, detect in the endeavors of this wicked world.)
Know to ask for understanding not to walk a pathless wilderness.
Job, in the times of painful challenges of his life he responded to the critics over his life, referring to God, “He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and makes them wander in a pathless wilderness.” (Job 12:24)
Are you experiencing unceasing critics from close ones and ones in the distance from you that do not know that God is with you in what represents your wilderness journey of life?
A wilderness journey of life is with a path with understanding from God will direct to the promise of God not to be stranded in a pathless wilderness. 
God directed the Israelites to navigate the wilderness to arrive at the Promised Land. Exodus 13:17-18 records, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt. So God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt.” 
The direction of God is the path in the wilderness not to wander.
It is the understanding of God that will lead you in the path of wilderness to arrive at the calling of God.
PRAYER
Ask from God to enable you not to walk in a pathless wilderness of the journey of life. 
Ask for the understanding to hear and move as directed by God in the journey of life.
Ask that you will gain understanding from God that is a source to live life for the glory of God. 
The word of God requests to ask, and God will not deny responding.
Job 32:8 buttresses, “But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.” Word of God does not fail to answer when is asked from God.
PRAYER
Ask for the breath of God upon you for understanding to become established over your life.
God is not a slave master but a saving master to deliver desires for all that asks. One with the desire not to miss the kingdom God will experience the deposit of desire by God by prayer. Psalm 119:34 records, “Give me understanding, and I shall keep Your law; Indeed, I shall observe it with my whole heart.” 
The Psalmist, with his desire he asked for understanding to keep and observe the law of God with the whole heart.
PRAYER
Ask for understanding to keep and observe the word of God with the whole heart.
Ask for the understanding of God to be established in you.
Paul the Apostle prayed for understanding, “For this reason, we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding”
If Paul prays for understanding, what is holding you from praying?
Give yourself to praying for knowledge, wisdom, and understanding.
