LIVING A GOD FEARING LIFE. Part 1 Text:
Hebrews 12:28-29
Introduction:
Life can either be lived profitably or
be lived in losses; it is a matter of choice and decision. One of the keys for
living a profitable life is to live a God fearing life.
God is not just a God
of supplies, he is also a God that places a demand on his children and every
demand of God is for the advancement of his Children. Deuteronomy 6:24.
One of
the demands of God is the demand to life a God fearing life. Deuteronomy
10:12-13.
In this study series, we shall be considering what a God
fearing life is all about and how to position ourselves to live such a life.
WHAT
DOES IT MEAN TO LIVE A GOD FEARING LIFE?
1. A
God fearing life is a life that is lived to please God at all level and by all
means – Proverbs 14:2, Deuteronomy 10:20-21
2. A
God fearing life is a life that consistently Reverence, Respect and Regard God
in all things, at all times. – Psalm 33: 8-9
3. A
God fearing life is a life that does not delight in sin & iniquity, but
rather desist from sinning & resist sin by all means – Genesis 39:7-9
SCRIPTURAL
INSIGHTS ON LIVING A GOD FEARING LIFE
1. When
the fear of God is missing, the dominion and operation of evil deeds prevail. –
Genesis
20:11
2. Your
level of obedience to God’s command is a direct reflection of the level of your
fear for God. You cannot live a God fearing life and not be totally committed
to obeying God’s command even when they are not popular & convenient- Genesis
22:12, Deuteronomy 13:4
3. When
you are God fearing, you will surely be God friendly. You cannot be God fearing
and be Satan Friendly. Genesis 22:11-12... Abraham the
friend of God.
4. Living
a God fearing life is not accidental, neither is it by chance; it is a function
of committed choice and decision. – 1 kings 18:3-4, 1 Kings 18:12
5. Living
a God fearing life draws the attention of the devil to you, but renders him
powerless over you. – Job 1:1, Job 1:7-10. It is therefore
anti covenant to deeply fear God and also fear the devil.
6. The
deeper your fear for God, the greater your enjoyment of God. You cannot enjoy
God beyond the degree of your fear for him. Psalm 66:16-20, Psalm 34:9-10.
7. The
more you fear God, the more you abhor evil deeds and works. – Proverbs
16:6, proverbs 8:13,
Job 1:1
8. Our
quest for holiness cannot be complete without the fear of God – 2
Corinthians 7:1
9. Our
Service to God is not sincere without living a God fearing life. - Joshua 24:14
1. You
cannot live a God fearing life and not enjoy a God blessed life. Psalm
128:1-6
CONCLUSION:
Living a God fearing man is the concluded whole duty of man according to
Ecclesiastes 12:13-14.
The question therefore is to what extent you
have been performing your whole duty to God. If it has to be measured, how far are
you in living a God fearing life?
