Godly fear

DATE: September 9th, 2021

TOPIC: Godly fear

BIBLE TEXT: Psalm 19vs9 – The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.


The fear (reverence) of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom. Psalm 111vs10. It is wise brethren to fear the LORD. This kind of fear called Godly fear is also seen as holy reverence unto God. Showing total respect and worshipping the LORD. God doesn’t want us to be scared of him but to give honour to Him as a Father, Lord and our everything. He doesn’t seek the worldly fear that kills, he seeks his honour from his children and from the angels.

Godly fear brings about wisdom in the life of a believer when you accord due honour/benevolence to God, you’ll learn more about Him. Through Godly fear we are able to distinguish the fear of God from the fear of the world. Throughout the scripture whenever an angel of God appeared and when Jesus also appeared to the children of God, they say these words, “fear not”. God prefers to work with us through love that’s why He draws us closer by taking away thoughts of fear.

Let us learn to fear the LORD by putting Him first and making Christ our choice. Through the thoughts of Joseph as he meditated on the word of God, he was able to reject Mrs. Potiphar’s offer because he feared the LORD and kept the commandments of God.


Prayer: Heavenly Father, I receive the grace to reverence you LORD and to receive the fear of the LORD to serve.

Insight: Godly fear is clean, enduring forever.

The Good Slow

DATE 📅 19th September, 2022 TOPIC The Good Slow LIVING SCRIPTURE Habakkuk 2:3 KJV For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry. A mango tree starts from a seed planted in the soil, from a mango fruit. It usually takes weeks or sometimes days for the leaves to grow or sprout and then it takes years before it can produce those edible mango fruits which we all like to chew. Likewise a young child cannot start behaving like a grown man or handling responsibilities automatically. Just like the fruits that once started as a seed, so is the LORD'S work everyday for His children if only we believe that it is settled. To tarry is to delay a thing or a matter, but the Lord said, it will surely come to pass it will no longer delay. Sometimes we experience the tarrying process and many think God is slow and not responsive to their needs. Many seek out alternati...

IT RUBS OFF

AUGUST 9th - CAPSULE 9 TOPIC: IT RUBS OFF BIBLE TEXT: Exodus 34 vs. 29 – His face glowed from being in the presence of God. You can only talk convincingly about the God you know, the one you’ve spent time with. Any other God belongs in a theology book, and you will have a hard time selling Him. When Moses came down from the mountain, his face shone. He had been in God’s presence, and when you’ve been there it shows in the way you look, the way you walk and talk, the way you treat your family, the way you spend your money and the way you respond to hurting people. It rubs off!   Paul Cain says “most of us are as close to God as we want to be”. Think about it “Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you” (James 4 vs. 8). How could you possibly be the same when you’ve been with Him? He transforms everything He touches. Listen – He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty” (Psalm 91 vs. 1). He didn’t say “visit” or...

Heaven

Date 📅 25th November, 2022 Topic Heaven (Trading Talents) Living Scripture Matthew 25:14 KJV For the kingdom of heaven is as a man travelling into a far country, who called his own servants, and delivered unto them his goods. The Kingdom of Heaven was described by our Lord Jesus Christ in various descriptive narratives pointing out the hidden truth in several parables. Heaven contains important life lessons on the purpose of every child of God here on earth and finding it makes the will of God visible to us and achievable here on earth. This morning we see Heaven from the business man perspective, enriching and equipping His own servants with goods that are all profitable. Heaven is real and Christ Jesus only invest in His own servants. God doesn't bless a mess, He works with as many who believes in Christ Jesus His Son who died for the world. God instructs His Son to deposit into every child of His talents that will favor them, show that they are useful and can work with Heaven....
