Author: Hello NBC Blog Land. I pray your day is going well in the Lord!
THE SPRING PROGRAM IS TAKING A TRUE UPWARD TREND AND I AM EXCITE TO SEE WHAT THESE LAST TWO WEEKS HAVE IN STORE. LET US PULL TOGETHER AND BRING OUT A VISITOR(S).
THE FIRST OF THE MEN’S LEADERSHIP ALIVE BREAKFAST WENT VERY WELL. I AM BOOKING MEN AS WE SPEAK TO COME AND SPEAK TO US IN THEIR AREA OF EXPERTISE. I AM EXCITED TO HELP OUR MEN LIVE TRUE LIVES OF LEADERSHIP, ALIVE IN THEIR LIFE.
PROVERBS 14:26,27
IN THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS STRONG CONFIDENCE: AND HIS CHILDREN SHALL HAVE A PLACE OF REFUGE.
THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS A FOUNTAIN OF LIFE, TO DEPART FROM THE SNARES OF DEATH.
I SEE HERE THAT THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS HIGHLIGHTED IN THESE VERSES. THE FEAR OF THE LORD MEANS RESPECT OR HIS PROPER PLACE IN OUR LIVES. HE IS THE CENTRE PIECE OF OUR LIVES. THESE TWO VERSES EXPLAIN WHY THE LORD SHOULD BE FEARED.
1. THE FIRST IS SO WE BUILD CONFIDENCE IN HIM.
CONFIDENCE IS SO IMPORTANT FOR US TO HAVE. IT IS NEEDED TO WALK BY FAITH, IT IS NEEDED TO MAKE DECISIONS FOR HIM, IT IS A HELP TO HAVE THIS KIND CONFIDENCE OF FEARING THE LORD SO WE LEARN TO HANDLE TOUGH TIMES IN OUR LIFE. WE MUST GO FORWARD NOT BACKWARD WHEN THESE TIMES COME OUR WAY. HERE IS MY DEFINITION OF CONFIDENCE: ll TIMOTHY 1:12 I AM NOT ASHAMED, SO I BELIEVE HIS WORK, THAT I AM PERSUADED THAT HE WILL KEEP ME AND SEE ME THROUGH EVERY AREA OF MY DECISION.
REFUGE IS A PEACEFUL ABIDING FREE OF ANGER AND REGRET.
2. THE SECOND FEAR OF THE LORD IS SO WE BUILD A STRONG FOUNTAIN OF LIFE.
FOUNTAIN IS BLESSINGS, FOUNTAIN IS GOD’S BLESSINGS THAT ARE FLOWING FROM A SPRING THAT DOES NOT DRY UP. IS YOUR SPRING DRYING UP? IS YOUR SPRING DRIPPING? IS YOUR SPRING OR FOUNTAIN FLOWING DEATH OR LIFE? MY FOUNTAIN IS TO FLOW LIFE THAT NOURISHES THE WHOLE FAMILY AND THOSE AROUND ME.
YOU SEE THE FEAR OF THE LORD IS TO BRING YOU AND I TO A PLACE WHERE THE TASTE OF HIS SPRING WATER TASTES AND SURPASSES ALL OF WHAT THE WORLD OR THE DEVIL CAN GIVE US. IT SURE TASTES BETTER THAN HATE, IT SURE TASTES BETTER THAN LIES, IT SURE TASTES BETTER THAN TO ARGUE.
THIS FEAR WILL KEEP US FROM BEING SNARED CONSTANTLY BY HIS DEVICES
SO FEAR OF THE LORD BRINGS CONFIDENCE AND A FOUNTAIN OF LIFE. THESE ARE WHAT ARE PROMISED FROM GOD TO LIVE THE LIFE HE HAS ASKED US TO.
WHERE IS YOUR FEAR LAYING? WHERE IS YOUR CONFIDENCE PLACED? WHAT IS FLOWING FROM YOUR FOUNTAIN?
