The Fear of The Lord (Dev 2)

Ephesians 1:13 In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory.
There is the fear of the Lord that is a guarantee of abundance of life as yielded by Christ to us. It is a kingdom principle that rewards the faithful in keeping it. It’s not a fear demonstrated by observing our religious obligations. Neither by meeting the desires and the spiritual needs of a congratulation. Sure it is more than that. It is a deep conception that happens in our spirits we have an encounter with the Lord.
Psalm34: 12;

The man who desires!
The man who loves many days!
The man who want to see good in his day!
Let this man Vs 13

  • Keep your tongue from Evil.
  • Your lips from speaking receipt.
  • Depart from Evil and do Good.
  • Seek peace and pursue it.
    This lifestyle is a pure demonstration of the fear of The Lord resident in our spirits, souls and minds. They are principles without which our promised life more abundantly will be cattailed, the ministry prosperity will be shattered.
    Numbers 12:12 Then Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married; for he had married an Ethiopian woman. 2 So they said, “Has the Lordindeed spoken only through Moses? Has He not spoken through us also?” And the Lord heard it… 9 So the anger of the Lord was aroused against them, and He departed. 10 And when the cloud departed from above the tabernacle, suddenly Miriam became leprous, as white as snow. Then Aaron turned toward Miriam, and there she was, a leper…12 Please do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb!”13 So Moses cried out to the Lord, saying, “Please heal her, O God, I pray!”14 Then the Lord said to Moses, “If her father had but spit in her face, would she not be shamed seven days? Let her be shut out of the camp seven days, and afterward she may be received again.”
    Miriam and Aaron though being anointed, choosen by the Lord; whom the Lord as well spoke stooped to the schemes of the enemy: discrediting and questioning the ministry of Moses. They yielded to:
  • A tongue of Evil.
  • Speaking deciept.
  • Doing Evil.
  • Forsaking peace within themselves.
    This simple act as it seems points to the lack of the fear of the Lord in the heart of this two ministers. The Lord heard them and was ready to confront their heart disposition…’He is the Lord who fashions our hearts’. Lack of reverence to the Lord will hamper our ministry hear on earth. It so happened to Miriam and the situation was to remain so but Moses pleaded for her case to the Lord. The helpless question is:
  • How many of us have people who can plead their case to the Lord even after conspiring against them??
  • How many knows one who can stand and ask for restoration of grace to minister to them or one who speaks deciept and does evil towards them?
    May the Lord help us to understand that it is our responsibility to guard the anointing and our Grace by perpetuating pure fear it the Almighty in us. We have a responsibility to keep ourselves in the ‘ life more abundantly’. Reckless life as a Christian is a guarantee to a life full of frustration and displeasure.
    Our choice of behavior and words perfectly defines the disposition of the fear of God in us. May we seek for a resetting and re-dispositioning in our hearts by the Spirit of God.
