You are welcome again to our daily word for spiritual strength. Today I want to share with you the importance of walking in the fear of God.\r\n\r\nThe Bible teaches that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God.\r\n\r\nUntil the fear of God is in place, there can\u2019t be any Access to the Spirit of wisdom and revelation from God. The God type of wisdom that makes your face to shine in the dark seasons of life and make your star brighter despite the unfavorable circumstances of life, results from the fear of God.\r\n\r\nThis was the kind of wisdom that made Joseph a success despite all the odds of life and all the unfairness he experienced throughout his life time. This wisdom made him head in slavery instead of being the tail. This wisdom gave him a prominent place in the prison and this wisdom lifted him from the dungeon to the throne in a twinkling of an eye.\r\n\r\nWhat was the secret of Joseph\u2019s wisdom?\r\n\r\nThe secret of Joseph wisdom was the fear of God. That was why he told His brothers:\u00a0\u201eFor I fear God\u201d<\/em><\/strong>\r\n
\u201cAnd Joseph said unto them the third day, This do, and live; for I fear God\u201d\u00a0(Genesis 42:18)<\/h6>\r\nJoseph succeeded every where he went because he feared God!\r\n\r\nWhat does it means to fear God?\r\n
    \r\n\t
  1. To fear God is to have an inner desire to please Him in all that you do.<\/li>\r\n\t
  2. It is to love God enough to hate what He hates and love what He loves.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nJoseph demonstrated this kind of love for God all the time no matter where he is or his status in life.\r\n
      \r\n\t
    1. While at home with his brethren, Joseph demonstrated the fear of God by refusing to team up with his brothers when they lied to their father and did evil.<\/li>\r\n\t
    2. He demonstrated the fear of God in slavery by remaining faithful to his boss and by eschewing the evil of fornication.<\/li>\r\n\t
    3. Joseph demonstrated the fear of God in the prison by serving faithfully and by helping others interpreting their dreams even though his own dream was not yet interpreted.<\/li>\r\n\t
    4. And finally we saw that in dealing with his brothers, he chose to forgive them because in his own word\u00a0\u201ehe feared God\u201d.<\/em><\/strong><\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\nNo wonder God blessed him greatly and lifted him up to a place of dignity and honor!\r\n\r\nWhere there is no fear of God, there is no limit to evil (Gen.20: 1; Rom3: 10-18).\r\nThat is why God is seeking for those who fear Him, – those who reference Him and love Him enough to hate evil. Those are the people He will anoint and bless with the Spirit of wisdom and revelation. Those are the people God will lift up to position of honour and dignity in life.\r\n\r\nDo you fear God? Does that reflect at all in your lifestyle and in your language?\r\nThis is the question God want you to answer today as you meditate on the following scriptures: Ex.18:21; Eccl.8:12; 12: 13; Nehemiah 5: 15; Psalm 34: 11-16.\r\n\r\nRemember,\r\n
      \u00a0\u201cThe secret of the LORD is with them that fear Him; and he will shew them his covenant\u201d (Psalm 25:14).<\/h6>\r\nMay you ever increase in wisdom that comes form the Lord all the days of your life and may your destiny be established through the spirit of wisdom and revelation in Jesus name!\r\n\r\n \r\n\r\nTill tomorrow,\r\nPastor Rufus Ajiboye","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Bible teaches that the beginning of wisdom is the fear of God.\r\n\r\nUntil the fear of God is in place, there can\u2019t be any Access to the Spirit of wisdom and revelation from God.
