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

  • What it means to accept personal responsibility

    If you can remember, yesterday we talked about the fact that what defiles a person is not what is done to him, but his personal reaction to that. In the following Scripture we saw that neither the man nor the woman were willing to take personal responsibility for their actions.„The man said, “The woman you put here with me–she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.» Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” (GEN 3:12-13)

  • Your gift will make room for you

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    Today I would like to start talking about the topic I have titled as: “Your gift will make room for you”. The Word of God says: «A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men» (Proverbs, 18: 16).Your gift will make room for you and will broaden your boarders, if you won’t hide it. So many times believers ask: «Where is my place in the Body of Christ? What is my calling?»Do what you know. This simple principle gives an answer to many questions. Find the thing that you know how to do; find what you can do to promote the Kingdom of God, to help the church to grow and to extend your influence in the society.

  • Prayer is a two-way communication

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Like I said, it is not what I tell God that it is the most important thing in prayer; it is what God wants to tell me. I will explain why it is so. Is there anything you can tell Him that He does not know! Is there anything at all? He knows everything. You may think that nobody knows what you are going through and that nobody knows the problems you have and how hard your life is. That may apply to people, but not to God. God knows everything! Even before you start praying, God knows everything you may want to tell Him. God also knows why these things are happening to you.

  • How some people sins caused pain and suffering in other people

    «“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbour, and hate your enemy.’ But I tell you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who mistreat you and persecute you, that you may be children of your Father who is in heaven. For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.». (Matthew 5:43-45).If only all people lived according to the commandments of love there would be much less pain and tragedies on Earth. There would be much less tears on Earth if people took care for each other instead of seeking their own benefits.

  • How NOT to give up, when problems and trials are all around IV

    AutorsRolands Z Reading Time: 3 minutes
    We continue our discussion about how not to give up at the time of troubles and temptation. Yesterday we spoke about the necessity to know that when we are walking through the problems in our life God keeps all our situations under control having already prepared a solution for us. Today I would like to continue this topic and show you that temptations or trials are a kind of test or exam. It can either put a shame on you and take the Spirit of glory away from you or you will rejoice and get excited of the honour to pass this test.
