Fear of the Lord

“The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.”
  — Proverbs 1:7 (KJV)

To fear the Lord does not mean being scared of God, yes He is Mighty, terrible surrounded by thunder and voice of mighty waters pertaining several verses of the scripture and its true. He is also a Father that takes pride in a personal relationship with Him, He offered heavens best Jesus Christ to atone for our sins.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge, its a Holy fear of not wanting to dishonor the King, its a desire to do the will of God, its a foundation of belief and hope, its the first steps to true freedom. Its the law of God 
“Ye shall walk after the LORD your God, and fear him, and keep his commandments, and obey his voice, and ye shall serve him, and cleave unto him.”
  — Deuteronomy 13:4 (KJV) 
In doing so we align ourselves in direct path of a faithful relationship and by doing so we invite God upon our life, to redeem us from addictions, oppression's and derainged thoughts of our mind.
“Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.”
  — Joshua 24:14 (KJV)
It keeps men from idolizing things of this world, some career, vehicles, lifestyles, phones and any other thing that we give much devotion other than God. Have you not heard that He is a jealous God ?
Fear gives men a way out of wicked lifestyle and unto a more pleasing one before the eyes of God.
“And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.”
  — Job 28:28 (KJV)
It brings satisfaction upon the soul, many people tend to try different things to heal the emptiness in them but it doesnt help but in God there is hope 
“O fear the LORD, ye his saints: for there is no want to them that fear him.”
  — Psalms 34:9 (KJV)
The fear of the Lord is taught 
“Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the LORD.”
  — Psalms 34:11 (KJV)
The benefits of. Holy fear are innumerable, its upon us to enact it upon everything we do and by that we will step into another realm of knowledge, wisdom and understanding.

The self professing church.

It's unbelievable that though its among the last days, the so called church  and believers need more work to be done on them than the world. The world needs to hear and believe the gospel for their salvation, the self righteous Christian needs a different grace, a renewal of who he is in the kingdom. Titus 1 (KJV) ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¹⁵ Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled. ¹⁶ They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate. Scripture dictates that without faith we can't please God, yet so many people are becoming faithless, every one seeking their own righteousness, living far from scripture, far from christ, far from the Holy spirit, all have strayed from the pulpit to the least.  In Titus 1:16 it states that many profess with their mouths of knowing God yet they deny Him, now lets access what...

“ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.”   — Psalms 119:1 (KJV) Blessed are the undefiled in the way who walk upon the way of the Lord, in this text we can come to understand that along the way men tend to be defiled by the many things of life, when they walk in the counsel of their mind. So we are going to see what defilement causes and what areas are affected  Defile - Means to be foul, contaminated, pollute or unclean.  Uncleanness can be subjected into three aspects  1 physical 2 Soul 3 Spiritual  Physical The body is the host that sustains both the soul and the spirit, every realm has a rule that governs it and for this realm of earth it is important that to be of relevance one need to have a body. Satan entered the body of the serpent to trick man, Jesus Christ needed a body to be relevant on this earth, if He had descended from heaven in His God nature am sure men would have run from Him.

Serving Faithfully

Lk 16:15 *And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.* The above scripture gives us a snap of what is happening in the World nowadays, even the believers' are under the gin without them knowing, spiritual Life style nowadays is full striking results. Where is Holiness nowadays? People are moving using their own fables and fancies, to maintain what is perfect before God is no more, peter said in *2peter 1:16  Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy*, why don't we esteem what is good before our Supreme Being *(Shaper)*? The convoy of believers' today is full contempt conversation before Almighty God. We are dwelling on entities that are highly esteemed by men, yet we hamper ourselves with our fancies' claiming and boasting out that we're okay, the prophet of God Isaiah said 30:*Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD,...
