WHO DO YOU FEAR?
MEMORY VERSE
The fear of man bringeth a
snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be safe.
Proverbs 29:25
READ
Proverbs 29:25-27
Proverbs 29:25 The fear
of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in
the Lord shall be safe.
Proverbs 29:26 Many seek
the ruler's favour; but every man's judgment cometh from the Lord.
Proverbs 29:27 An unjust
man is an abomination to the just: and he that is upright in the way is
abomination to the wicked.
MESSAGE
The favourites of
God often share similarities with the eagle. One outstanding trait of the eagle
is its ability to see its enemy coming long before it arrives, and as a result,
decide on how to deal with it. Usually, when a snake is about to penetrate the
nest of an eagle, the latter would have seen it earlier. The eagle would wait
for the right moment to strike. Without warning, it will strike by grabbing it
by the neck, take it to a great height and drop it from there. This will lead
to the death of the snake. As a favourite of God, when the enemies are planning
their evil attack, the Lord will reveal it to you so that you will know how to
handle your enemies. How often does God forewarn you of the plans of your
enemies? When Herod was seeking the life of baby Jesus, Joseph was warned. If
you hardly ever get divine warning about the schemes of your enemies, it is
doubtful if you are God's favourite. It simply means you need to work on your
relationship with God.
In addition, the
favourite of God enjoys divine security which leads to unusual boldness. Hence,
Proverbs 28:1 says such believers have the boldness you find in lions. If you
are a divine favourite, you will fear no man but God. Proverbs 29:25 says,
“The
fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the LORD shall be
safe.”
Whenever you are
afraid of a man, you will definitely fall into a pit. There is a link between
the fear of man and snares. If you carry out a fact-finding quest on those who
found themselves in one trap or another, you will discover that majority of
them got there because they were afraid of somebody or some persons. The fear
of the Israelites made King Saul to be rejected. If you are afraid of offending
men because you do not want to be sacked, spoken against or persecuted, you
will definitely offend God. Men are not to be feared but loved, respected and
honoured. God is the only One you should fear. God's favourites do not care
about the opinions of men but about what God thinks about them. Who do you
fear?
ACTION POINT
Ask God to help
you grow in love and in the fear of God.
The fear of God is the begining of wisdom. Be wise fear Him.
