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

    In reality, effective life is impossible without appropriate preparation. Jesus solved the question of effectiveness by preparing Himself for the ministry. There is almost no information about what Jesus had been doing during the first 30 years of His life. Gospels tell us the story about His ministry. Meanwhile, we need to understand that prior to starting His ministry Jesus had been seriously preparing himself for quite a long time.

    If we want to have fruitful prayer life, then prayer must become a habit. In order for that to happen we must gain some skills in the area of prayer. Skill means how we do something. When you know what you need to do and why you need to do it, the next step is HOW to do it. If you don’t know how, this activity can’t become a habit. But you won’t be able to learn how, unless you actually start doing it. I won’t know how to pray, unless I start praying. I am sure we already know very much about prayer. You can put to practice this knowledge that you have. Thus you obtain skills. Skills are developed by putting knowledge to practice.

    «Lord, I desire to bear more fruits in my life. I am asking You to cleanse me, so that I become capable of bearing more fruits. I accept God’s grace to stay on the vine tree. I shall bear much fruits for God in Jesus Name!»The Bible says we should grow until we reach perfection in Christ (see Ephesians, Chapter 4). Therefore, it doesn’t matter how anointed and fruitful you are now, there is a higher level prepared for you by God – the higher level of effectiveness and fertility.

  • Analyze your work and your days! II

    In order for us to analyze our day, first of all we need to see that God had a plan of what He wanted to get done. He had a plan, a dream, and a vision of the world He wanted to create. We can not effectively analyze our day and our life without a concrete plan. You need to start your analysis with a question about your plans. Ask yourself: „Do I have a plan for my life?”

  • In order for us to do the works of Jesus, we must ask for it in prayer!

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    «Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son» (John, 14:12-13).When Jesus Himself says ‘most assuredly’, it means He wants us to pay attention. These two verses are connected. Jesus says that we can do the works that Jesus did and even more, if we pray. Jesus tried to tell His disciples that He has been given all authority in heaven and on earth and that He will represent them in heaven, because He will be sitting with Him on the heavenly throne. Jesus told His disciples that they should ask in His name and that He would do what they ask so that His Father would be glorified.
