FIRE SCRIPTURE: Deut. 6: 1-5

Memory verse: Deut. 6: 2

 “That thou mightest fear the Lord thy God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son’s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged.

Motivational Quote: When you fear and reverence God, men will also honour God in your life.

Prophetic Word: Any assignment of darkness to kill your love and fear for God is destroyed now, in the name of Jesus.

In the Old Testament, we see that, there were frequent commands to God’s people to “fear God” or to “fear the Lord.” It is also important for us followers of Jesus Christ to understand what the command means today. Only when we fear the Lord will we be free from all destructive and satanic fears (Prov. 14:27).

When we fear God, we can avoid being diverted from His way, defying Him, doing what we want and damning the consequences of living immoral lives. The command to fear the Lord is central to our relationship with God as Christians.

First, we must recognise that God is merciful, loving and forgiving, but He is also holy, just and righteous. These attributes of God make us to understand that He will judge sin. Therefore, true fear of God causes believers to place their faith and trust in Him alone for their salvation.

The fear of God prolongs man’s life. It makes a man to become the beloved of God, such as we could see in all His prophets such as Moses, Abraham and so on. The fear of God is a missing ingredient today in our Christian living. Many commit sin and disobey God’s word with impunity.

Beloved, if you fear God, you will not fornicate, steal, gossip, tell lies and many more. Remember, the conclusion of the whole matter, Fear of God! Abraham feared God and that holy fear made him to obey God. It also earned him God’s commendation and untold blessings.

In Genesis 22:12, the Bible records, “And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do anything unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God seeing that thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.” Let the fear of God rule your life and propel it to always please God. Beloved, both Job’s and Abraham’s examples are written for your learning. Emulate them!

In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, & by the power in the Blood of Jesus, in this year 2021, you will never be a victim to whatever calamity, affliction, or tragedies flying around in the name of Jesus, Amen!
