THE FEAR AND KNOWLEDGE OF GOD 2

TEXT: Proverbs 9:10.

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom: and the knowledge of the Holy is understanding.”

The fear of the Lord is not about being terrified of God; rather, it is about having deep reverence, honour, and respect for Him. It is an awareness of His greatness, His holiness, and His authority over our lives. 

When a person truly fears God, their decisions, words, and actions begin to reflect that reverence. Such a life naturally attracts wisdom because wisdom begins where God is acknowledged.

Knowledge of God goes beyond merely knowing about Him. It is not just head knowledge gained from books or sermons; it is experiential knowledge built through relationship, obedience, prayer, and meditation on His Word. 

 *Many people know scriptures, yet few truly know God.* True knowledge of God transforms the heart, renews the mind, and shapes character.

Proverbs 2:2 tells us that “Making your ear attentive to wisdom, and turning your heart to understanding” is key. This means being intentional, listening carefully to God’s Word, seeking understanding, and allowing His truth to dwell richly within us.

 When we incline our ears and open our hearts, we position ourselves to walk in His fear daily.

 *Walking in the fear of God keeps us from sin, pride, and careless living.* It makes us sensitive to the Holy Spirit and quick to obey 
divine instructions. *The more we know God, the more we love Him; and the more we love Him, the more we desire to please Him. This cycle produces spiritual maturity and stability.* 

In a world filled with distractions and conflicting voices, choosing to fear God and pursue knowledge of Him is a *deliberate decision.* It requires discipline, humility, and consistency in studying the Word, praying, and living out what we learn. 

The reward, however, is wisdom, understanding, and a life guided by divine direction which will lead to life eternal.

 *BIBLE READING:* 

Proverbs 2:1–17.

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

Father Lord, please help me to walk in Your fear and to retain Your instructions within me, in Jesus name.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portray...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

TIME IN ETERNITY

Text : Psalms 90:12  So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom._  Our God dwells in eternity past, present and future. In between these phases of eternity, He created man to dwell in Time. When man sinned, he fell short of God's plan, and death came in.(Rom 3:23). Death therefore short circuit man's life in eternity. This is the reason Jesus.came.  He had to come into TIME in order to remove the PAUSE  death HAD on man.  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16.  Every man born into this world automatically becomes an eternal being. The question therefore is, which side of eternity would such a man dwell? Everlasting life or Everlasting condemnation? Time is an opportunity given to man to trade for eternal life. You have limited time to exchange for eternal life in eternity.  Time offers you the opportunity to ga...
