What are the benefits of fearing walking in the fear of God

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 2 minutes

Hello friends!
Today I want to continue to share with you the place of the fear of God in the life of a child of God. The blessedness of walking in the fear of God and in the ways of the Lord cannot be overemphasized.
As we saw yesterday, the Bible teaches that wisdom begins with the fear of God.

The wisdom that results from walking in the fear of the Lord has many-sided benefits. We are going to consider some of these benefits as elaborated for us in the book of Psalm 128:1-4:

“Blessed is every one that feareth the LORD; that walketh in his ways.   For thou shalt eat the labour of thine hands: happy shalt thou be, and it shall be well with thee.  Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine by the sides of thine house: thy children like olive plants round about thy table.  Behold, that thus shall the man be blessed that feareth the LORD”

So what are the benefits of walking in the fear of God according to the above passage?

  1. You will eat the fruit of your labour. In other words, your labour shall not be in vain. God will prosper you in all your endeavours and your labours will not only yield fruits, but you will eat of the fruits.
  2. You shall be happy and satisfied with life. You will enjoy the blessings of the Lord
  3. It will be well with you on all levels (physical health, spiritual health, and mental soundness)
  4. Your wife and your children shall be fruitful and blessed.

These are just a few of the benefits that await anyone who dares to walk in the fear of God. If you desire all these things in your life, then take some time today to inspect your heart to see if you are walking in the ways and the fear of the Lord or not.
This is God’s word for you today!

 

Many blessings,
Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    Fear paralyzes and limits a person, takes away his strength and courage for going forward; it does not allow person’s talents and gifts to come out on the surface. Fear steals person’s faith in God. A wicked heart makes a person selfish and stains his motives. Such a person is alienated from the true understanding of responsibility for his words and actions. He lives according to the principle “I do not owe a thing to anybody; everybody owes me!»
