THE FEAR OF GOD
"The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction" -Proverbs 1:7
----------------------------
What is this fear of the LORD?
The fear of the LORD is the foundation of knowledge. The fear of God is to hate evil: pride and arrogance, and the evil way, and the perverse mouth (Prov 8:13).
The fear of God is to have regard, honour and reverence for God, hence, anyone who fears God is humble and gentle, walks in the way of righteousness, and speaks to edify others.
When humility, gentleness, righteousness, and seasoned words are part and parcel of your life, the Holy Spirit will give you wisdom and long life to work for Him. He also adds riches, wealth, good health and fame.
May you choose to fear God today and be a partaker of these divine blessings, in Jesus name.

YOU CAN'T SIT ON THE FENCE
"For he that is not against us is on our part." Mark 9:40
----------------------------------
In the things of the Kingdom, there is no sitting on the fence. It is either you are on the side of good or evil; holiness or sinfulness.
Your position for God, through Jesus Christ must be clear and emphatic. It is either you are for Christ or you are against Him. There is no middle ground.
If you claim to be born again, then give yourself wholly to Jesus Christ and His gospel. Stand for what Jesus stands for; love whatever Jesus loves; and hate whatever Jesus hates (Eph 5:1-2).
You are against Jesus Christ when you do the things that are contrary to the things He loves.
Your fruits will reveal where you stand (Matt 7:20-21).
Receive the grace to align with God, and the things that Christ love, in Jesus gracious name!

KEYS TO BREAKTHROUGH
"Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God" -Philippians 4:6
--------------------------------
Prayer is so essential that it cannot be over emphasized.
Sometimes you hear people say this thing is not about prayer or that situation does not need prayer; but they are not right in saying that.
Apostle Paul understands that everything is about prayer; there is nothing too small or too big to pray about.
In the scripture Paul says: in everything by prayer, supplication, and thanksgiving make your request to God. Hence, he has given us the three keys to our breakthrough: prayer, supplication, and thanksgiving.
Things may keep going worse for people, even for Nigeria as a country, until these keys of prayers are applied.
Your prayers will receive answers in Jesus gracious name.

OBEDIENCE PROFITS
"Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you" -Hebrews 13:17
----------------------------------
It pays when disciples, members, citizens and subordinates obey their leaders. It is even vital in the church for members to obey and submit to the leaders placed over them.
Jesus Christ, the bishop, has appointed shepherds, pastors or leaders to carry out His work on earth. They will give account for every soul entrusted under their care; therefore, in as much as they have a responsibility, the members also have a responsibility to support them.
Their support is in their obedience and submission so that the shepherds can do their work with joy.
When they work with joy, blessings flow to the members. On the other hand, when they don't get the support because of disobedience and insubordination, they are grieved; and instead of blessing flowing, grief, pain, bitterness, and curses are passed on to the members.
Receive the grace to obedient in Jesus gracious name!

BELIEVING LEADS TO POSSIBILITIES
"Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth" -Mark 9:23
------------------------------
Heaven endorses whatever the children of God will believe. No wonder Jesus Christ said all things are possible to those who believe.
IF YOU BELIEVE, YOU WILL RECEIVE EVEN THE MOST DIFFICULT AND "UNBELIEVABLE" DESIRES.
The question you need to ask yourself is, "Do I believe?"
If you do, then it is possible to receive whatever you have prayed for.
If things seem to be impossible for you to receive and achieve, then you need to check your unbelieve and dissociate from people and things that bring doubt and unbelieve.
Believing is not by word of mouth, but by conviction of the heart.
As you receive the grace to rebuke doubt and fear today, you will receive whatever you are trusting God for, in Jesus gracious name!
