Mobile Daily Devotional with Pst. Oluboye Emmanuel Week 16, Day 3: Tuesday, 18th April, 2023. Topic: CHRIST TEACHING 3: Maintain The Fear Of God.

“4. And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do.

5. But I will forewarn you whom ye shall fear: Fear him, which after he hath killed hath power to cast into hell; yea, I say unto you, Fear him.”

Yesterday, we studied about keeping Secret away from our loved ones, and we said, it will surely be exposed if we will not expose it ourself. Today, our topic have a link with what Jesus exposed to us yesterday. One of the reason why we fear Men more than God Is keeping secrets. Jesus knew why He was telling the disciple not to keep secret because, keeping Secret makes you fear Men. When the fear of God lives in you, you will do that which pleases God not men. The fear of God in us stops us from living a secretive life. The reason for the fear of men is the lack of Fear of God.

Jesus said, don’t fear those who can kill the body and not the soul. When you fear those who can kill your body, it simply means, you’ve rated men above God. 

The fear of God will guild you into God’s purpose for your life while the fear of men will take you out of God’s purpose for your life. The fear of God will help you put your body under control. Don’t be afraid of what men will do but how God will feel concerning that act of yours. When you have the fear of God, you will not indulge in secrecy. Remember, the fear of the Lord is the begining of wisdom. So therefore, Fear God above all Men.

Good day and God bless you.

Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
