God`s
command given to his children is that "fear God". To fear God is to
regard Him with holy awe, and reverence, and to honour God because of His great
glory majesty and power. Fear of the Lord is a loving reverence for God that
includes submission to the Lordship and to the commands of Lord.
When the Israelites at Mt. Sinai, saw
God manifest himself through thunders, lightnings, a thick cloud, and the voice
of the trumpet loudly, they all trembled in fear (Exodus19:16). In psalm 33 the
psalmist says" let all the earth fear the Lord.
Fear of the Lord causes believers to
place their faith and trust in him alone. In Exo14:13, psalm115:11, we have a
call to fear the Lord, to trust in the Lord, for He is our help, and shield.
When we fear God it gives us confident hope, we receive his forgiving love and
mercy. Also it motivates God`s people to worship him and depart from evil
God has promised to reward all those
who fear him. "By humility and fear of the Lord, are riches and honour and
life." Proverbs 22:4. God`s compassion and love is great when we fear him. As
children of God we receive faithfulness and goodness in our lives when we fear
him.
We all must fear God and keep his
Commandments to receive the provisional for our daily life, the Anointing of
the Holy spirit, the grace and protection.

God bless you all abundantly
