RCCG Open Heaven 16th October 2022 Message

I have heard some funny theories concerning the fear of God. Some people believe that when the Bible says. “Fear God”, it doesn’t really mean that you should fear Him: it actually means that you should just reverence Him. I don’t know which Bible they are reading, but my Bible says, “Fear God”, period. Hebrews 12:29 says that He is a consuming fire. Who is not afraid of fire? Even a mad dog, when he sees fire, will run. The Bible says in Proverbs 1:7 that:

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

The Bible verse above is saying that if there is any iota of wisdom in you at all, you will fear this God. Thus, if you see someone who doesn’t fear God yet claims to be wise, he is only deceiving himself.

Now, my question to you is: do you fear God? I want you to think about that question very well before you answer. Do you really fear Him? If you truly fear Him, you will not be disobeying His commandments.

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear the LORD, and depart from evil. – (Proverbs 3:7)

The moment you dip your hands into sin, you are telling God that you don’t fear Him, that you are wise in your own eyes. It may look as if God is powerless now because you committed sin and He did nothing, but I advise you to stop it because His wrath is coming for all sinners.

For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; – (Romans 1:18)

Don’t be among fools who have chosen not to fear God. You want to be wise? You want God to share secrets with you? You want to avoid God’s wrath? Fear Him and show this in your complete and prompt obedience to His word.

KEY POINT:
If you have any iota of wisdom at all, you will fear God and stay away from sin henceforth.
