FAITH CAPSULE:<\/strong> To fear God is to live life abundantly.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 19<\/em>
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

God identified Jesus in Luke 3:22, \u201cAnd the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, \u201cYou are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.\u201d\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Jesus was sent to us freely but the blessings He brought along to us demands condition. The condition was identified in Luke 9:35, \u201cAnd a voice came out of the cloud, saying, \u201cThis is My beloved Son. Hear Him!\u201d\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Hearing Him by listening is the way to be blessed. It is impossible to hear His word by listening and not do His word. He is our wisdom, our instruction that will make the hearer of Him live life abundantly. Jesus confirmed, \u201cI have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.\u201d (John 10:10) <\/em><\/strong>Hearing Him by listening is the source to fear God. Are you allowing the fear of God reign and rule your life? To fear God is to live life abundantly which is the blessing Jesus brought to man.
\nProverbs 19:23 stated, \u201cThe fear of the LORD leads to life, and he who has it will abide in satisfaction; He will not be visited with evil. <\/em><\/strong>In life, to have the fear of God will definitely cause man to abide in satisfaction. With satisfaction that is rooted in the word of God, your life will shut out the evil one.
\nAre you hearing Him enough so as to be satisfied, living life abundantly? Judas was called by Jesus; he was in position to hear Him day and night but yet disqualified his calling. Judas could not be satisfied. Judas\u2019s lack of satisfaction led to his lust for money. In life, lust for money will cause anyone to become vulnerable to evil agenda. Bible identified Judas\u2019 lust: \u201cBut one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon\u2019s son, who would betray Him, said, \u201cWhy was this fragrant oil not sold for three hundred denarii and given to the poor?\u201d\u00a0 This he said, not that he cared for the poor, but because he was a thief, and had the money box; and he used to take what was put in it.\u201d (John 12:4-6)<\/em><\/strong> Judas loves money. Judas was not satisfied. Judas was not content but contaminated by lust for money. 1Timothy 6:9-10 recorded about the evil of satisfaction which is lust, \u201cBut those who desire to be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and harmful lusts which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.\u201d<\/em><\/strong> Search your heart to know way in life.<\/p>\n
