FEAR OF GOD
Genesis 22:1-14

As an acclaimed child of God, have you at any point in time take a close look from the inside to the outside, to see if there is a sincere and genuine fear of God reigning and ruling your life. It is written in so many pages of Bible what the fear of God adds up to in the life of a believer. Proverbs 9:10, “The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom, And the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.” If the kind of wisdom you are operating with is rooted in the fear of God, you are set for great things, and good things are ahead of you. Above all you are in this world, but not of this world. Godly wisdom cannot be substituted neither can it be faked. Do you truly fear Him? It is the wisdom gained in the fear of God that reveals the knowledge of the Holy One. Proverbs 19:23, “The fear of the LORD leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil.” The fear of God will give life instead of death. It is clear that it is not possible to fear the Lord and to abide in dissatisfaction. With the fear of God, satisfaction in every area of your life will be evident in the life of a believer. The Word of God is true. One of the reasons why the Word is not working for so many that proclaim the Word is because many are not walking in the Word, and that makes it impossible for the Word not to work for them. The world is the problem, but not the word of God. The fear of God will also make anyone that fears Him to be in a position that is not locatable for any evil visitation. It was the fear of God in the life of many giants in the hand of God, through the Bible that made their testimonies unique ones. God testified that it was His fear that made Abraham what he was, “And He said, “Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me.” (Genesis 22:12) The fear of God is what will make the difference in the life of every man that passes through the face of earth. The fear of God is a non-compromising issue, to know God is to fear Him, and to fear Him is to know Him. Do you actually fear Him or do you think that you fear Him? Ecclesiastes12: 13-14, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is man’s all.” Ask for the enablement for His fear to overtake you in every area of your life. He is worth all of the honor and glory.
