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.

NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH

Date - December 28th, 2021 Topic - NEITHER HEIGHT NOR DEPTH Bible Text - For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. - Romans 8:38-39 Your parents love you. You may be able to do something that makes them angry, but you will never be able to do anything that makes them stop loving you. Try to imagine this kind of love and then multiply it by infinity. That’s the love that Jesus has for you. That’s the love that God has for you. God made you. He loved you enough to create you. He loved you enough to give you free will. Then he loved you enough to give you his Son. He loved you enough to forgive you for turning away from him. This is an impossible love! This is a love that we may never understand. But we don’t have to understand it. We just have to a...

Breakfast with Jesus

DATE 24th June, 2023 TOPIC Breakfast with Jesus LIVING SCRIPTURE Psalm 65:4 KJV Blessed is the man whom thou choosest, and causest to approach unto thee, that he may dwell in thy courts: we shall be satisfied with the goodness of thy house, even of thy holy temple. The Psalmist was a peculiar man and one that feared the LORD and walked in the paths of righteousness. In his meditation and Psalms, he learnt to dine with Jesus Christ early and through Psalms, from the 63rd to the 66th, he found a way to breakfast with Jesus. The first contact we should have everyday is Jesus Christ, to receive of His glorious satisfaction early, contentment and to be filled with the goodness and mercy He gives His children daily. When a child eats with his parents there's that joy and peace within, such comfort and full assurance. Jesus Christ always ate with our Heavenly Father while He was here on earth, He sought after the LORD daily and was satisfied with the glory and goodness of the Father. Each...

Forgiveness of Sins

DATE - April 7th, 2022 TOPIC - Forgiveness of Sins BIBLE TEXT - Acts 5:31 AMP God exalted Him to His right hand as Prince and Savior and Deliverer, in order to grant repentance to Israel, and [to grant] forgiveness of sins. Apostle Peter stood tall before the council (Sanhedrin, Jewish High Court) to speak with boldness about a God who Saves and sets free any sinner from the power of sin. As a man who has been shown mercy though a man once filled with sinful ways, the Holy Spirit quickened him through his personal testimony of experiencing true forgiveness of sins before the Jewish High Court. Peter was a local fisherman with no knowledge of the gospel truth, who lived as he pleased. Until he encountered Jesus when Christ was walking by the sea of Galilee and he spotted Simon Peter who was in his boat struggling to catch a few fishes for days. Like many out there today who are living in sin and still struggling to make ends meet, Jesus is passing through that street, area...
